The development and optimization of a single-phase derivatization
technique for small ring aromatics in water are presented. Also
described are the design, optimization and application of a remote
reaction chamber for fiber optic sensing.
Aqueous solutions of the major aromatic compounds in gasoline are
derivatized to o-nitrosophenol-Cu complexes with a...
There are efforts underway at Idaho National Laboratory to design, modify, and implement an array of techniques into a nuclear material ready Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) to accelerate comprehensive characterization of the physical properties and microstructures of irradiated fuels and materials. The goals of adding a micro four-point probe (M4PP)...
Those experiencing significant psychosocial problems in adolescence and young adulthood are at higher risk for psychological disorder (Pottick, Bilder, Vander Stoep, Warner, & Alvarez, 2008). Compared to peers, these individuals struggle to complete school, fit with social roles, and acquire occupational skills necessary for adulthood (Pottick et al., 2008). Providing...
Physical testing of composite sandwich panels in three point bending is an increasingly important aspect of qualifying a composite monocoque for Formula SAE competition. Required stiffness and strength values have increased over the past three years, and more of the monocoque's laminates must be tested as well. As a result,...
Endogenous inhibitors of insect microsomal oxidases are a serious
problem in in-vitro studies of insecticide metabolism.
Their number,
chemical nature, modes of action, and their effectiveness as inhibitors
are unknown.
In the case of house flies, there may be as many as
four inhibitors.
The most important of these is...
The theory of extensions to the national accounts is expressed in models in which wealth is being explicitly maximized. For the fishery, the central issue is such valuation when the policy being followed is inefficient. We begin the task of making such valuations for commercial products of a fishery. Capacity...
The lack of hamstring muscle group flexibility has previously been associated with a higher incidence of hamstring strains among athletes. Several stretching methods have been shown to increase hip joint range of motion (ROM); however, identification of an optimal stretching method has proven difficult. The purpose of this study was...
The initial distribution of organic arsenical silvicides was
measured in the trees, litter and soil of four forest types in the
Pacific Northwest following a standard, precommercial chemical
thinnning. Factors which influenced the persistence, movement or
fate of these compounds were noted and used to evaluate differences
in the generalized...
