A liquid sulfur dioxide battery, such as K/KCl SbCl₅ (0.25
molar) + IBr₃ (15 %wt) + SO₂ (1)/carbon matrix is shown to have an
open circuit voltage greater than 3.70 volts and an initial voltage of
3.15 volts, decreasing to 2.40 volts in 10 minutes at a current density
of...
The feasibility of using lumber and plywood futures as a means of cross product hedging for stumpage is explored from the standpoint of the producer of forest products. A survey conducted in April, 1979 Indicates that this process has not been attempted in western Oregon. Historical price relationships between contract...
In response to the increasing pace and scale of wildfire and forest health challenges, the Intertribal Timber Council (ITC) proposed the creation of “Anchor Forests,” where a tribe would convene surrounding landowners to collaboratively manage the entire landscape, across property boundaries. This emergent concept has sparked conversation but has not...
The relative conductance at room temperature of a solution in
kaolin membranes was studied as a function of the volume fraction of
the membrane. The resistances of the membrane and of the solution
were measured for various volume fractions, and the conductance of
the membrane relative to the solution was...
The mechanism of continuously chlorinated silver-silver
chloride electrode performance was studied by using a wiped, rotating,
partially submerged, cylindrical silver cathode. The cell
performance using a zinc anode was measured, and the rate of
chlorination of silver was calculated for several water saturated
chlorine atmospheres.
At 75°F, with a chlorine...
The graphite anode reaction in a fused carbonate electrolyte is
studied theoretically and experimentally. Data on open circuit cell
potentials indicate, for operation below 900°C, only a small fraction
of the free energy of reaction is converted to electrical work.
Anode polarization measurements were made for current densities
of up...
The low risk and sustainable implementation of nanotechnology requires understanding how nanomaterial physicochemical properties influence their toxicity. Major drivers of toxicity need to be avoided while maximizing product efficacy so nanomaterials can be produced to best serve their applications and be of low risk when intentionally or unintentionally released into...
In Southeast Alaska, Eulachon (Thaleichthys pacificus) are a culturally and biologically important anadromous fish. Eulachon populations have significantly declined in the southern part of their range, and in 2010 eulachon in northern California, Oregon, and Washington were listed as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act. In the same...
The purpose of this research was to determine if there were any relationships between measured personality traits and vocational interests between the Adult Learner with Learning Disabilities (ALLD) and without Learning Disabilities (ALNLD). Instruments utilized to measure personality traits and vocational interests included the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and...
