Ziegler-Natta catalyzed polymerization kinetics : origin of the molecular weight distribution
(1986)
The molecular weight distributions generated by Ziegler-Natta catalyzed polymerizations are examined. Only those catalysts with one type of catalytic species are considered. From the rate laws for propagation and elimination, ...
Knowledge-based model construction : an automatic programming approach to simulation modeling
(1986)
A knowledge-based model construction (KBMC) system has been developed to allow the automatic construction of complete discrete simulation models for queueing systems. While this work focuses on the domain of simulation ...
Aspects of the wintering ecology of northern shovelers on freshwater and saline habitats
(1986)
Habitat factors, feeding ecology, and physiological body condition of northern shovelers (Anas clypeata) were studied on saline wetlands of the Texas Gulf Coast, and on several freshwater lakes 18 km inland. The hypothesis ...
Syntheses and applications of functionalized polyolefins as ligands for homogeneous transition metal catalysts
(1986)
Ethylene oligomers having diphenylphosphine, diaryl and triaryl phosphite functional groups were used as supports for hydrogenation, hydroformylation and diene cyclooligomerization catalysts. An advantage of these ethylene ...
Campoletis sonorensis Virus in Heliothis virescens : and preliminary studies on the organization of the viral genome
(1986)
The expression of Campoletis sonorensis Virus (CsV) in the parasitized host, Heliothis Virescens, was investigated. At least 12 major CsV mRNAs were detected in parasitized H. virescens larvae between 2 hours and 9 days ...
The design of a distributed concurrent simulation environment
(1986)
Distributed execution of the independent components of a simulation model poses some problems such as incorrect forward simulation and deadlocks that do not occur in real systems. The objectives of this research were to ...
The ambiente of five Latin American novels by Graham Greene
(1986)
Graham Greene has written five novels with distinctly Latin American setting: The Power and the Glory, set mainly in the rural Mexico of the 1930's; Our Man in Havana, focusing chiefly on Havana just prior to the Castro ...
The effects of two levels of professional development training in analogical reasoning on fourth-grade students' performance of analogy tasks
(1986)
It was the purpose of this study to examine the effects of two levels of professional development training in analogical reasoning on fourth-graders' performance of a verbal analogy task. Specifically, this study investigated ...
An econometric analysis of early employment losses : the case of the U.S. Air Force
(1986)
The purpose of this dissertation is to characterize the job-separation behavior of new entry-level employees. The specific case considered is that of enlistees in the U.S. Air Force, from September 1974 to August 1977. Two ...
Development of a cycle simulation for a coal-fueled, direct-injected, internal combustion engine
(1986)
An engine cycle simulation for a coal-fueled internal combustion, reciprocating engine was developed. The primary objective of this work was to develop the simulation for evaluating the viability of coal fuels for engines. ...
