Bituminous coal

description: ABSTRACT  Flash pyrolysis of a high volatile bituminous coal was studied by entraining small (94 or 133 ym) diameter particles in a pre-heated stream of nitrogen which passed through a heated stainless steel tube. Particle residence times in the tube ranged from 60 to 160 msec for temperatures of 570 to 730°C, and the particles were quickly cooled by mixing with cold nitrogen. The time-temperature history of the particles was calculated by incremental force and energy balances. The weight losses during subsequent heating were determined from the char which was collected in order to estimate the flash pyrolysis loss in the tube. A kinetic analysis of the pyrolysis data was analyzed by nonisothermal techniques since the particle time-temperature history in the tube was known. The weight loss data were successfully modeled by a set of independent parallel decomposition reactions. These data were used to calculate a distribution of activation energies for the set of first order reactions. There was a pronounced maximum in the distribution curve at an activation energy of 51 kcal/mole. An overall discrepancy of 2.4 percent in the weight loss data between the large and small particles indicates (from the kinetic analysis) that the initial coal decomposition products undergo further (secondary) reactions within the coal which reduce weight loss.
Immobilized heparin via a long chain poly(ethylene oxide) spacer for protein and platelet compatibility

Biosynthesis

description: Poly(ethylene oxide) has some unique solubility and hydrogen-bonding characteristics which have been used to explain its apparent inertness with regard to blood protein absorption and platelet interactions.  A method has been developed to immobilize long chains of the hydrophilic and amorphous polymer by derivatization of the end hydroxyl groups allowing attachment to and extension out from the surface.  This creates an "excluded volume" which is inaccessible to large protein molecules and cells.  Four derivatives of poly(ethylene oxides) (PEO)  have been synthesized: PEO-bis isocyanate, PEO-bis isothiocyananate, PEO-bis chloroformate, and PEO bis thiochloroformate.  The cyanate derivatives were synthesized using the lithium salt of cysteamine to form diamine-terminated PEO chains which were subsequently reacted with phosgene of thiophosgene.  The chloroformate derivatives were produced by directly reacting the hydroxyl groups of the PEO with phosgene and thiophosgene.  Molecular weights of PEO ranging from 1,000 to 18.000 daltons were used.  Heparin was immobilized onto the reactive free ends of these PEO derivatives via the free amine and hydroxyl groups of the heparin molecule, permitting extension of the anticoagulant from the surface, allowing it to assume its native and active conformation of interaction with specific blood proteins.  Surfaces prepared by the method were characterized by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and found to be stable in aquenos environments.  Minimal nonspecific protein absorption and adhesion of platelets to the PEO surfaces without heparin was demonstrated by Total Internal Reflection Fluorescenne Spectroscopy (TIRF) and 125-iodine labeled proteins.  It was found that there is a small inverse relationship between chain length of the PEO and the quantity of protein absorbed onto the surface, confirming earlier reports.  Platelet retention has been studied by exposing platelet rich plasma to derivatized glass beads and has demonstrated significantly less retention than the control surfaces.  Quantitation was accomplished using tritiated heparin.  The activity of the heparin was shown by the ability of these surfaces to bind antithrombin-III and by significantly increased whole blood clotting times and activated partial thromboplastin times.  The results reported her suggest that long chain poly(ethylene oxide) offers a relatively inert surface for the immobilization of biologically active molecules, minimizing nonspecific interactions and providing a mechanism for these active molecules to react freely, mimicking their solution activities.

description: From 1494 until 1512, around a dozen securely datable prints containing or relating to music were published in the city of Salamanca in present-day Spain. To date, these works have not been considered as a group. This thesis takes the perspective of the Salmantine printers to examine this corpus. To do so, the study gathers methods and secondary sources from a variety of fields, particularly combining history of the Iberian book with musicology. The thesis establishes Juan de Porras as the dominant printer in Salmantine music printing production with prominent connections to the Fonseca family, particularly the Archbishop of Santiago de Compostela, Alfonso II de Fonseca. Music production was also motivated by liturgical reforms sweeping across the Peninsula, as well as related language reforms occurring at the University of Salamanca. While liturgical prints had pre-established markets and patrons, marketing techniques in the music treatises show that these works were targeted to different segments of Iberian society. The thesis includes three appendices which 1) collate all identifiable persons in the prints, 2) present a catalogue of Salmantine music prints from 1494 to 1512, and 3) compare music types used in the liturgical books of the corpus.

description: The purpose of this research was to apply the metastable equilibrium solubility (MES) distribution concept previously developed, to CAPs synthesized by different methods and to bone mineral and also to examine the influences of the important physicochemical variables such as carbonate content, temperature of synthesis, and the crystallinity on the MES behavior of CAPs. In the first part of this research the x-ray powder diffraction full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the 002 reflection was taken as a measure of crystallinity. The MES distributions were determined by a previously developed technique. Each of the CAP preparations were found to possess an MES distribution. The crystallinities of the CAPs decreased and the MES values increased with increasing carbonate content and decreasing temperature of synthesis. Furthermore, a plot of the mean MES value against the CAP crystallinity revealed that the mean MES was a single valued function of crystallinity, i.e., when crystallinity was taken into account, there was no additional effect of carbonate upon the MES. The MES distribution concept appeared to be holding for bone apatites obtained from rats of different ages and the changes in the crystallinity of the bone apatite with age showed a good correlation with the corresponding MES values. By varying the pH of the acetate buffer solutions the MES controlling surface complex function was also deduced. A surface complex with HAP stoichiometry was found to be the function that best accounts for the MES behavior of bone apatite and CAP. Also, for the first time, an excellent synthetic prototype was obtained that closely mimics the physicochemical behavior of bone mineral. The effects of crystallite size and microstrain on the MES of the CAPs and human dental enamel were also investigated to determine the major solubility controlling factor. Two different approaches were used for the separation of crystallite size and microstrain components of the broadened intrinsic diffraction profiles of the CAPs and human dental enamel. The method of individual profile fitting within small angular ranges yielded values for the crystallite size and microstrain parameters that were consistent with those obtained by the Rietveld method of pattern-fitting structure-refinement. The values of the crystallite size parameters also showed a good correlation with the specific surface areas of the CAPs determined by the BET method. Finally, a strong correlation was obtained between the mean MES and the microstrain parameter whereas the crystallite size parameter exhibited a rather poor correlation with the MES values.

description: Perfluorocarbon (PFC) microbubbles have been used for several decades as contrast agents in ultrasound imaging; over the last decade, microbubbles have attracted attention as potential drug/gene carriers. The microbubbles would have difficulty in carrying the drug to the tumor due to their sizes in the micron range that preclude effective extravasation. Drug encapsulation in perfluorocarbon nanoemulsions used as microbubble precursors will overcome this problem. Upon nanodroplet accumulation in the tumor tissue, the application of tumor-directed ultrasound triggers the droplet-tobubble  transition accompanied by localized drug release from the bubbles formed. We chose perfluoropentane (PFP) and perfluro-15-crown-5-ether (PFCE) emulsions for our  drug delivery studies. PFCs were stabilized by polyethylene glycol (PEG) based amphiphilic block copolymers. For the drug delivery studies, doxorubicin (DOX), a widely used drug in chemotherapy, was loaded into the droplets. DOX has intrinsic fluorescence properties, which allowed studying DOX intracellular trafficking as well as cell damage through fluorescence imaging. Cell culture experiments showed that without  ultrasound exposure, the intracellular DOX uptake was lower when DOX was delivered in nanodroplets compared to DOX encapsulated in polymeric micelles. This is advantageous for preventing DOX interaction with the healthy tissues. For drug uptake by cells, significant differences (F (2, 42) = 15.7; p << 0.01) were observed between different DOX encapsulated formulations.

description: This thesis project describes a preliminary analysis of a computerized referral system.  First, this study is concerned with defining the logic for the detection of 25 health problems causing home health care referral.  These health problems are centered in ten basic categories of health care.  In designing this logic it was found that the degree of impairment is highly important in considering the patient for home health care.  Protocols for recognizing impairment work in conjunction with logic defining the ten health categories.  The second aspect of the research dealt with analyzing of the validity of the logic in two areas of development, diabetes and would care.  Since the Help Frame Language in which the logic was expressed is at a stage of incomplete development, simulation programs were written in PTXT Application Language, an in-house development to test logic frames. Analysis of the frames included two studies.  The first study determines the correctness of the frames and the second compares the effectiveness of a computerized referral system with the current referral system.  During frame analysis three studies were made focused on the current home health care system.  The first study deals with determining if home health care provides adequate care for the patient.  The second study deals with analysis of present referral rates from the hospital.  Finally an investigation was complete to determine if patient age is and important criterion to consider for referral to home health care

description: Recent geothermal studies on sedimentary basins in Western Utah suggest the possibility of significant geothermal reservoirs at depths of 3 to 5 km. This research focuses on 3 areas (Crater Bench, Pavant Butte, and Thermo), located within sedimentary basins having high geothermal potential. New geophysical data which include 364 gravity stations and 247 magnetotelluric (MT) stations collected during the summers of 2010 to 2012 have been used to augment historical gravity, electromagnetic, and borehole data where coverage is poor or insufficient. Two-dimensional gravity and MT models were created for these study areas in order to gain insight on the subsurface structural controls and to understand better the geothermal systems and potential of each study area. At Crater Bench, gravity and MT models show overall basalt flow thicknesses of 60 to 160 m and inferred depth-to-basement estimates of 1.3 to 3.6 km and a buried horst structure which is interpreted to be the structural control of the hot springs fluid flow. In the Pavant Butte study area, gravity and MT models display an elongate, mostly two-dimensional basin with a corridor about 15 km wide having 2 km of sediments on top of basement rock and in some areas reaching depths up to 3 km. Deep conductive bodies observed in this area hint at the presence of hot, saline fluids throughout the basin. Thermo displays intersecting gravity low trends of 4 to 10 mGal amplitude which intersect adjacent to the surface manifestation of the hot spring system and are interpreted as the structural control. Gravity and MT models indicate shallow depth-to-basement values (200 m) near the hot springs and up to 2 km to the southwest accompanied by low resistivities. Geothermal waters are old; water chemistry supports the conceptual model of waters migrating from the southwest basin up deeply penetrating faults and fractures to produce the hot springs. This geophysically-based study has added to the understanding of these potential geothermal systems.

description: The wettability of reservoir rocks influences multi-phase fluid flow and rock physics measurements. This impacts the relative permeability, recovery factor, choice of enhanced oil recovery method, and reservoir characterization. Wettability can be assessed using contact angle measurements and the imbibition-based Amott and USBM indices. These methods require preserved core samples, may be time consuming, and cannot be applied for in-situ conditions. Another method to assess wettability is the interpretation of geophysical measurements such as electrical resistivity and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR). One advantage of geophysical measurements is their applicability for laboratory and in-situ borehole environments. Furthermore, they are quick, non-invasive measurements, and can provide physics-based wettability estimates in near-real-time and in-situ conditions. This thesis provides experimental verification for physics-based assessments of wettability from the interpretation of resistivity and NMR measurements as well as a new workflow for joint interpretation of resistivity and NMR measurements. Recently, analytically-derived resistivity and an NMR-based wettability index rock physics models were introduced and verified using pore-scale simulations. The work presented in this thesis verifies their applicability to core-scale measurements. Additionally, a resistivity-based wettability index is introduced using the fraction of hydrocarbon-wet grains. This index is experimentally verified with Amott and USBM wettability indices. Given reliable estimates of water saturation and the pore-geometry-related model parameters, this resistivity model provides wettability assessment from resistivity measurements with minimal calibration efforts. Moreover, a new method for interpretation of 2D NMR maps is introduced to simultaneously estimate water saturation and wettability. Finally, this thesis introduces an integrated inversion workflow for joint interpretation of resistivity and NMR measurements to simultaneously estimate wettability and water saturation. This method has an average relative error of 11% between the multi-physics- and gravimetric-based water saturation estimates, and an average absolute difference of 0.15 between multi-physics- and Amott wettability indices. This workflow uses physically-meaningful inputs and eliminates the non-uniqueness of water saturation and wettability estimates obtained from independent application of resistivity and NMR models. These outcomes are promising for improved interpretation of resistivity and NMR measurements, particularly in complex, mixed-wet and hydrocarbon-wet formations

description: East Canyon Reservoir is located 32 km east of Salt Lake City, Utah, and serves as a resource for irrigation, culinary water, and recreation. This research used  paleolimnology and historical records to investigate the impacts of multiple stressors, including land clearance, dam construction and enlargement, and climate warming on East Canyon Reservoir. Recently, blue green algal blooms, typically indicative of eutrophication, have been increasing at East Canyon Reservoir despite reductions of  nutrients from point sources, so part of the impetus for this study was to understand the forcing mechanisms of these blooms. A multiproxy analysis of three sediment cores retrieved from the reservoir determined changes in nutrient concentrations and sediment composition over time. Percent organics, magnetic susceptibility, and diatom analyses of 210Pb dated cores were compared to measurements of temperature and precipitation as  well as records of historical land use, which were determined using remote sensing. Percent organics and magnetic susceptibility showed changes related to dam construction and increased development. Fossil diatom assemblages indicated that East Canyon Reservoir had been eutrophic since origination; however, principal components analyses of the diatom data indicated that the canyon became more P-enriched following dam  construction and increased development. Recent increases in Cyclotella diatoms indicate changes related to warming temperatures, and we speculate that this warming is also what is causing blue-green algal blooms to increase.

description: Energy markets were not immune to the 2007 financial crisis. Growth in the Indian and Chinese economies is placing strains on global energy supplies that could force a repeat of the 2008 price spike of $145/bbl for crude oil. Emerging market growth coupled with inefficiencies,  frictions, and speculation in the energy markets has the potential to create drastic economic shocks throughout the world.  The 2007 economic crisis has pushed back investment in energy projects where a low-growth scenario in world GDP could create drastic price increases in world energy prices. Without a long-term energy supply plan, the U.S. is destined to see growth reduced and its trade  imbalances continue to deteriorate with increasing energy costs.  Analysis of the U.S. natural gas futures markets and the impact of financial speculation on natural gas market pricing determined that financial speculation adds to price movements in the energy markets, which could cause violent swings in energy prices.

description: The purpose of this study was to implement a weight-related teasing prevention program and evaluate the effectiveness of the program among adolescents. One hundred forty-three students in 7th-grade in health classes at the middle school were asked to participate in the study. The weight-related teasing prevention program was implemented as part of health curriculum at a middle school in Utah. At pretest, 47% of participants admitted that they had experienced bullying in the past as victims. Specifically, verbal bullying (47%) was the most frequently reported form of bullying experienced among participants. Girls were more likely to experience physical bullying than boys. There were statistically significant differences in scores on weight-related teasing effect (M = .30, 95% CI [0.46, 0.56], t (101.497) = 2.344, p = .021), competency teasing (M = 1.27, 95% CI [0.39, 2.18], t (117.546) = 2.784, p = .01) and victimization of competency teasing (M = .67, 95% CI [0.37, 0.97], t (116.916) = 4.471, p = .00) between boys and girls. Interestingly, girls scored higher than boys on weight-related teasing, competency teasing and victimization of competency. On the other hand, male mean scores on body esteem and self-esteem were higher than female mean scores on those variables. Verbal bullying (e.g., teasing) was the most frequently reported form of bullying in this study. Girls' bullying involvement was significantly demonstrated by data. However, it is suggested to educate about bullying among both girls and boys. After the program, the number of students who were bullied was reduced by 7% (From 42% to 35%). The prevalence rate of bullies was also decreased from 18% to 14%. Girls reported higher mean scores on victimizations of weight-related and competency teasing. On the other hand, girls' mean scores on IBSS decreased more than boys' after the intervention program suggesting that they experienced more improvement from the intervention. In conclusion, the intervention program effectively increased participants' body esteem and self-esteem. Although female participants tended to report more victimization from teasing (weight and competency), they showed a stronger positive effect by the end of the intervention program.

description: Asymmetric catalysis is a powerful method for synthesizing enantiomerically enriched chiral building blocks. Detailed understanding of how catalysts impart facial bias on prochiral substrates has the potential to enable improved catalyst design and increase catalyst applicability. To this end, linear free energy relationships have been used to relate catalyst properties to enantioselectivity, enabling greater understanding of key catalyst-substrate interactions. Linear free energy relationships also can allow prediction of catalyst performance prior to their preparation. In this dissertation, several linear free energy relationships are described with a focus on developing predictive power and understanding the mechanism of asymmetric induction. In asymmetric catalysis, steric effects are often implicated as key components in imparting enantioselectivity; however, they are typically treated empirically. In Chapter 2, steric parameters, particularly Charton parameters, are used to quantify ligand steric effects in the Nozaki-Hiyama-Kishi allylation of aryl aldehydes and ketones. Multidimensional linear free energy relationships, which simultaneously quantified the steric effects at both positions, are determined and used to predict ligand performance. The multivariate linear free energy relationships have guided the design of a new ligand scaffold capable of enantioselective propargylation of ketones, which is discussed in Chapter 3. The multivariate relationships were expanded to include nonsteric terms, which enabled the development of an electronically and sterically optimized catalytic system for the enantioselective propargylation of ketones, yielding enantioenriched homopropargyl alcohols. The multivariate approach to describing substituent effects in asymmetric catalysis led to the evaluation of Sterimol parameters. Chapter 4 gives five examples of data sets where Sterimol values led to better correlation and predictive power than the previously used Charton parameters. The computational basis of the Sterimol parameters allows for greater interpretation of the models in which they are utilized. Quantifying the factors that lead to enantioselective outcomes is a key challenge in asymmetric catalysis. Combining steric parameters, multidimensional analysis, and the principles of experimental design can lead to increased predictive power in asymmetric catalysis.

Drug release mechanisms from heterogeneous interpenetrating networks

Copolymer Networks

description: The objective of this research was to determine drug release mechanisms from HIPNs composed of a PTMO network and a copolymer of DMAAm and St.  In order to gain a better understanding of the release mechanism the networks which compose the HIPN were studied separately.  The DMAAm/St networks were synthesized with varying compositions of DMAAm and St.  The aqueous swelling of these networks reflected their HPL/HPB balance and was characterized by the polymer-water interacation parameter.  Drug release rates and water absorption rates were found to be independent of the drug solubility for copolymers that were hydrophilic in nature.  The drug release rates and the absorption of water, however, became more dependent on the drug solubility as the copolymer become more hydrophobic.  These effects were explained using the concepts of free volume and rate of water absorption.  To study the PTMO component of the HIPN two series of networks were made in which the crosslinking density and topological structure were changed by altering the length of the PTMO or by changing the amount of diluent in the reaction mixture.  The role of crosslinks and entanglements, in general, was discussed in relation to their contribution to the equilibrium swelling and elongation of polymer networks.  For the PTMO network the polymer volume fraction in the relaxed state plays a key role in the release profile.  When the volume of the relaxed state is large relative to its dry volume, the release of solute will be slower and the amount of water uptake will be greater than if the volume of the relaxed state is smaller.  The release of a hydrophilic solute, such as sodium salicylate, from a hydrophobic PTMO network has a bimodal release profile.  Water is absorbed by the network due to the presence of a hydrophilic solute as the hydrophobic networks show no swelling in water.  The release profile is related to network elasticity and the relaxed state.  Near zero order release can be seen over a period of may days with networks of very high elasticity and a small polymer volume fraction in the relaxed state.  The drug solubility was shown to play a significant role in the release and water uptake of the PTMO network.  The release mechanisms from the HPINs can best be described as a combination of the release mechanisms from the individual components.  When the HIPN has a large amount of DMAAm the release was rapid and independent of the drug solubility.  This was also seen with the DMAAm/St system at high ratios of DMAAm.  Drug solubility did play a role in the rate of release when the network became more hydrophobic.  In such cases the network experienced overswelling such as that seen with only PTMO.  With even more hydrophobic networks the drug solubility plays a less significant role in the release mechanism.

description: This dissertation presents the synthesis and characterization of several novel inorganic and hybrid nanoparticles, including the bio-compatible boron nanoparticles (BNPs) for boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT), tannic acid-templated mesoporous silica nanoparticles and degradable bridged silsesquioxane silica nanoparticles. Chapter 1 provides background information of BNCT and reviews the development of design and synthesizing silica nanoparticles and the study of silica material degradability. Chapter 2 describes the preparation and characterization of dopamine modified BNPs and the preliminary cell study of them. The BNPs were first produced via ball milling, with fatty acid on the surface to stabilize the combustible boron elements. This chapter will mainly focus on the ligand-exchange strategy, in which the fatty acids were replaced by non-toxic dopamines in a facile one-pot reaction. The dopamine-coated BNPs (DA-BNPs) revealed good water dispersibility and low cytotoxicity. Chapter 3 describes the synthesis of tannic acid template mesoporous silica nanoparticles (TA-TEOS SiNPs) and their application to immobilize proteins. The monodispersed TA SiNPs with uniform pore size up to approximately 13 nm were produced by utilizing tannic acid as a molecular template. We studied the influence of TA concentration and reaction time on the morphology and pore size of the particles. Furthermore, the TA-TEOS particles could subsequently be modified with amine groups allowing them to be capable of incorporating imaging ligands and other guest molecules. The ability of the TA-TEOS particles to store biomolecules was preliminarily assessed with three proteins of different charge characteristics and dimensions. The immobilization of malic dehydrogenase on TA-TEOS enhanced the stability of the enzyme at room temperature. Chapter 4 details the synthesis of several bridged silsesquioxanes and the preparation of degradable hybrid SiNPs via co-condensation of bridged silsesquioxanes with tetraethoxysilane. In vivo studies show that the solid SiNPs accumulate in many organs due to the lack of degradability. The aim of our work is to address this shortcoming by producing novel degradable SiNPs. Bridged silsesquioxanes were used as the precursors of the particles, and upon cleavage of the carbamate groups when brought into contact with aqueous media, the particles degraded into porous structures.

Staff Nurses

description: The current health care environment is one of clients expecting quality care for everyone who needs it and of third-party payers expecting cost containment in the provision of this care. The process of cost containment often focuses on redesigning the role of the registered nurse (RN). The premise of this study is that before a role can be redesigned, it must first be assessed to determine what it currently encompasses. Six groups of nurses were asked to create lists of what RNs currently do. They then divided their lists into what must be done by the RN, what may be delegated to another team member, and what belonged to other departments. When asked what they preferred to do, preferred not to do, considered a priority, and considered part of the nurse's professional role, there were differences between staff nurse responses and manager responses.
