There is an ever growing need for new and superior water treatment methods which will remove the alarming growth and variety of pollutants present in our waters. Suspended particulate matter such as clay, algae, and bacteria ...

Horizontal starch gel electrophoresis was used to examine protein variation in five Macrobrachium species. The hemolymph proteins hemocyanin, general protein, and esterase were compared in four North American species (M. ...

Delayed neurotoxicity has occurred in livestock treated for parasitism with haloxon. The condition, characterized by posterior ataxia, has been produced experimentally in sheep. The neurotoxic effect of haloxon is similar ...

The Fuel Cycle and Materials Laboratory at Texas A&M University needs a method of removing impurities from depleted uranium samples. A non-aqueous, lab-scale electrorefiner will be constructed to solve this problem. The ...

Electrospinning is a technique to achieve nanometer scale fibers. Similar to the conventional spin methods of making fabric, the viscous polymer solution is ejected from a spinneret; stretched and solidified in the air, ...

Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) are a promising technology in energy conversion. However, the high cost of the platinum catalyst limits the use of fuel cells. To address this problem, many improvements and ...

This thesis presents an initial investigation of using electrostatic coalescence as an alternative to conventional separation processes to purify used automotive crankcase oil. Specific emphasis of this study was the ...

Appropriate packaging and storage practices for certain Class I flammable liquids are a major concern for the chemical industry. When flammable liquids are processed, precautions to prevent sources of ignition must be ...

Electrostatic screening by semiconductors is studied, hics. applying the Thomas-Fermi theory. The semiconductor is treated as a medium with dielectric constant e due to vocalizable atoms, with force charge due to electrons. ...
