A Study of the Effects of Methanol and Water on the Friability of Lignite
(1979)
A study of the effects of methanol and water on the friability of lignite was made in an effort to quantify the extent of the effects and compare the utility of the two liquids. The friability of the lignite will be an ...
A Low Temperature Investigation of Possible Domain Wall or Pseudo-Spin Wave Contributions to the Specific Heat of Ferroelectric Materials
(1977)
Ferroelectric crystals show an unexpected T³ᐟ² term in the specific heat. An experiment is discussed, as well as background information on ferroelectrics and specific heats, in which the thermal expansion coefficient is ...
The Effect of Catnip, an Hallucinogen, on the Neurotransmitters Serotonin, Norepinephrine and Dopamine
(1978)
The concentration of Norepinephrine in rat brain was compared to the levels in mouse and rat brains which had previously been studied. Whole brains of white rats where extracted and the concentration of Norepinephrine was ...

Studies in Nucleotide Metabolism during Cellular Development in Dictyostelium Discoideum
(1978)
In these studies, Dictyostelium discoideum nucleotide metabolism during cellular development was examined. Aspartate Transcarbamylase (ATCase) is the first enzyme unique to pyrimidine synthesis de novo and it was found to ...
A Comparison of Two Behavioral Treatments for Moderate Insomnia
(1978)
Eighteen sleep disturbed college students received either systematic desensitization or muscle relaxation training. After a one week baseline self-observation period, subjects underwent three half-hour therapy sessions. ...
Development of a Percutaneous Electrical Connector
(1978)
The major problems with percutaneous electrical conduits are biocompatibility and infection. A system has been designed to avoid such problems and has been tested both in vitro and in vivo. The project, carried out under ...
Stability of a Low-Cost Shore Protection Device
(1978)
Low-cost shore protection devices provide coastal communities with a worthy alternative to conventional shore protection. An experimental study to investigate the stability of one of these low-cost shore protection devices, ...
The Economic Effects of Unemployment Compensation
(1978)
This paper has analyzed the experience rating feature of an unemployment compensation system. The question of how the costs of maintaining the unemployed are allocated was addressed. A review of the current literature found ...
The Calculus of Finite Differences
(1978)
Mathematicians use divided difference equations to solve problems which have only a discrete set of possible values. This research is concerned with the application of difference equations to curve fitting data by means ...
