The Environmental Challenges Facing Taps, A. V. Cardin
The Environmental Challenges Facing Taps, A. V. Cardin
UMR Journal -- V. H. McNutt Colloquium Series
Before the potential benefits of the recent oil discoveries on the North Slope of Alaska can be realized, the oil must be transported to refining and marketing areas. The Alyeska Pipeline Service Company has the responsibility for the first step in this transportation—to design and construct the Trans Alaska Pipeline System. We will pipe the oil from the discovery areas near Prudhoe Bay to an ice-free, deep-sea tanker loading terminal at Valdez of the South Coast of Alaska. From Valdez the oil will be transported to the West Coast by tankers. This is the most feasible system of a number …
The Environmental Challenges Of Alaskan Mineral Development, Earl T. Hayes
The Environmental Challenges Of Alaskan Mineral Development, Earl T. Hayes
UMR Journal -- V. H. McNutt Colloquium Series
To meet the challenges and to develop Alaska as a source of mineral and fuel resources that are essential to all of us, we must conduct the research and planning necessary to see that the environment is not abused. We cannot allow ourselves the luxury of thinking that we alone know what is best for Alaska. We must strive for cooperation -- cooperation between government and industry; between Federal and State governments; between the doer and the dreamer; and between the engineer and the ecologist. Remember, the quality of what we do today will determine the quality of Alaska in …
Mineral Potential Of Arctic Canada, R. G. Mccrossan, R. M. Procter
Mineral Potential Of Arctic Canada, R. G. Mccrossan, R. M. Procter
UMR Journal -- V. H. McNutt Colloquium Series
Canada is on the threshold of a major new phase in the development of its Arctic resources. The Prudhoe Bay discovery triggered a boom in northern petroleum exploration that is just getting into high gear this year. Mining activity also has greatly expanded in the last few years with some 73 active exploration programs underway and several large new mines just coming into production. The size of these ventures is indicated by ore reserves of two lead-zinc mines to the value of 900 million dollars at Pine Point in southern Northwest Territories, and 1.2 billion dollars at the Anvil property …
Arctic Pipelining -- Tough, Costly, But Feasible, William H. Pearn
Arctic Pipelining -- Tough, Costly, But Feasible, William H. Pearn
UMR Journal -- V. H. McNutt Colloquium Series
The development of vitally important Arctic petroleum resources presents new and interesting challenges. Although the answers to some questions will undoubtedly undoubtedly go unresolved until considerable operating experience has accrued, we can improve our present insight through an awareness of the work performed by others under similar conditions. This presentation focuses on Soviet pipelining experience in arctic and subarctic regions of Siberia.
Drilling Problems Associated With Arctic Minerals, Robert L. Parker
Drilling Problems Associated With Arctic Minerals, Robert L. Parker
UMR Journal -- V. H. McNutt Colloquium Series
With major involvements in Alaska, the experience gained from these operations reflect the success of talented personnel in meeting the challenges of climate, equipment, logistics, perma-frost, etc. Real concern stems from present delays in the Arctic program due to financing involved as well as increasing dependency of the United States upon these reserves in today’s market and supply situation.
Arctic Marine Terminals -- Some Environmental And Engineering Considerations, Robert L. Mccollom Jr., William W. Moore
Arctic Marine Terminals -- Some Environmental And Engineering Considerations, Robert L. Mccollom Jr., William W. Moore
UMR Journal -- V. H. McNutt Colloquium Series
Studies are presently underway to determine the technical and economic feasibility of various Arctic marine transportation systems, including ice-breaker super-tankers and submarine tankers. An important consideration in these studies is the design and construction of marine terminal facilities which will be suited to the unique problems of the Arctic. Factors which will significantly affect the design of proposed marine terminals include:
1) bathymetric configuration of the continental shelf;
2) influence of moving pack ice on artificial structures, both at the air-water interface and along the bottom;
3) lateral and vertical variations in soil conditions, including residual permafrost, which might adversely …
Arctic Oil And The S.S. Manhattan, Russell H. Venn
Arctic Oil And The S.S. Manhattan, Russell H. Venn
UMR Journal -- V. H. McNutt Colloquium Series
The discovery of oil on Alaska’s North Slope in 1968 not only focused attention on that remote part of our world, it set the stage for one of the most exciting and significant scientific expeditions of our time—the voyage of the ice breaking tanker SS Manhattan through the Northwest Passage.
In the space available I would like to discuss with you that historic expedition, how it came to be, and comment on the results, as we see them.
Oil And Gas Reserves In The Siberian Shelf, A. J. Eardley
Oil And Gas Reserves In The Siberian Shelf, A. J. Eardley
UMR Journal -- V. H. McNutt Colloquium Series
The Arctic region must be the world’s largest storehouse of liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons, and the vast Siberian region, both “on land” and “off shore” must be considered with envy by the free-world’s geologists for its oil and gas potential. It is here estimated that the off shore continental shelf of U.S.S.R. Siberia contains a reserve of 200 billion barrels of oil and 500 trillion cut. ft. of gas. These very approximate figures come from meager data obtained from the literature on oil and gas discoveries in the Siberian Arctic, the basin location of these discoveries, and the projection of …
The Role Of The Independent In Alaska's Mineral Development, D. L. Simasko
The Role Of The Independent In Alaska's Mineral Development, D. L. Simasko
UMR Journal -- V. H. McNutt Colloquium Series
In 68 years of oil industry history in Alaska, the independent has already played a substantial role. Eighty-three independent oil companies or operators have participated in drilling 82 exploratory wells or stratigraphic tests. Their activities extended from the discovery of first commercial oil at Katalla in 1902, to the extension of the Prudhoe Bay field in 1970. The success ratio for wildcat wells in Alaska is considerably higher than “outside,” and fields have all been major in statute, thereby reducing the cost per barrel of finding oil.
The most immediate deterrent to the success of the independent in Alaska is …
Maintenance And Operation Of Facilities And Equipment In The Arctic, Charles C. Norris, Charles W. Kelley, Carroll C. Livingston
Maintenance And Operation Of Facilities And Equipment In The Arctic, Charles C. Norris, Charles W. Kelley, Carroll C. Livingston
UMR Journal -- V. H. McNutt Colloquium Series
This has been but a short sketch of a few of the problems attached to living and working in the Arctic. Much has been learned about this remote and hostile area of the world; there is much more knowledge and experience required, as has been demonstrated by the controversy surrounding the routing and construction of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline. Man’s progress depends not only on means for his survival, but also on deep ecological considerations and solid engineering.--Conclusion.
The Alaska Business Community's View Of The Development Of Alaska, William H. Scott
The Alaska Business Community's View Of The Development Of Alaska, William H. Scott
UMR Journal -- V. H. McNutt Colloquium Series
America has discovered Alaska!! Or maybe that’s just the way it seems to us Alaskans. Even though Secretary of State Seward bought the Great Land (that’s what Alaska means in native tongue) more than a hundred years ago, very little of its nature has drifted down to the “Lower 48”. That is until the great oil reserves were discovered on the now-famous North Slope. Only then was the fact of Alaska’s mineral wealth translated into something other than very general admissions that Alaska was the natural resource storehouse of the United States. Now one would naturally conclude that the Prudhoe …
The U.S. Army's Experience In Handling Petroleum In An Arctic Environment, Frederic Johnson
The U.S. Army's Experience In Handling Petroleum In An Arctic Environment, Frederic Johnson
UMR Journal -- V. H. McNutt Colloquium Series
This article pinpoints the various facets that the US Military experienced in Petroleum Operations in the Arctic environment Since the Military were the pioneers in Arctic operations, this experience could prove invaluable if and when the TAPS pipeline is constructed. The article deals primarily with various problems which beset the pipeliners during the initial construction phases and the peculiarities experienced during operations. A slightly different aspect will be experienced, however, when the Oil Industry moves relatively hot crude oil through the pipelines with TAPS since the Military moved only clean product.
The article addresses above ground pipeline operations, problems encountered …

So, in conclusion ... our Air Crossroads of the World contemplates its future, from a similar position as that of the ancient Greeks, or later the city of Rome... and much later ... England — the trade center of its time, between East and West — North and South. In any event, we are in the enviable position of being able to determine our future. Aside from the tremendous growth and build-up factors, we are unique because of our urbanity ... nowhere else are the advantages of modern day living offered to the extent they exist here, while at the …
State Regulatory Controls On Oil & Gas, Thomas R. Marshall Jr.
State Regulatory Controls On Oil & Gas, Thomas R. Marshall Jr.
UMR Journal -- V. H. McNutt Colloquium Series
Alaska oil and gas regulatory matters are under the jurisdiction of a three-man Oil and Gas Conservation Committee, all of which are state employees.
In the last 10 years State water bottoms in Cook Inlet have been leased, explored and oil production amounting to about 200,000 barrels a day has been established. Cook Inlet is subject to very high tides and heavy ice flows. Five Salmon runs also occur in the Cook Inlet. The average daily production rate per well in the Cook Inlet area is nearly one hundred times the national average.

Geologic Considerations And Solid Mineral Potential Of Alaska, A. E. Weissenborn
Geologic Considerations And Solid Mineral Potential Of Alaska, A. E. Weissenborn
UMR Journal -- V. H. McNutt Colloquium Series
In marked contrast to Alaska’s petroleum industry, production from the State’s mining industry has declined drastically. Despite favorable geologic conditions, mineral exploration and development have been held back by inaccessibility, rugged terrain, severe climate, and scarcity and high cost of labor. Changing economic and political conditions, improved exploration techniques, and the ever increasing demand for minerals have again directed attention to Alaska’s mineral potential. Important discoveries in British Columbia and Yukon Territory have further stimulated exploration in Alaska. The probability that significant discoveries will result is high.
The titaniferous iron ores of southeastern Alaska probably will be brought into production …
Alaska's Possible Petroleum Provinces, George Gryc
Alaska's Possible Petroleum Provinces, George Gryc
UMR Journal -- V. H. McNutt Colloquium Series
Petroleum is the major Alaskan source of energy immediately available to the United States. Petroleum accounted for 89 percent or about $219 million of Alaska’s total mineral production in 1969 estimated at nearly $245 million.
Alaska’s first oil field was discovered at Katalla in 1902. About 154,000 barrels of oil were produced from 1902 to 1933. From 1945 through 1952, 45 shallow core tests and 36 test wells were drilled in and adjacent to Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 4 in northern Alaska. Oil deposits with possible reserves of 72 to 112 million barrels and gas deposits with possible reserves of …

UMR Journal -- V. H. McNutt Colloquium Series
Because this university, formerly under the well known title of Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy, has contributed so much to the nation’s and world’s mineral supplies through the work of its well trained graduates, it was considered appropriate that a major symposium be held during its Centennial Year on one of the last major mineral frontiers of the United States......Alaska.
Preliminary planning for the symposium on “Alaska, Its Mineral Potentials and Environmental Challenges” began in the fall of 1969. In January, 1970, Robert E. Carlile and Paul Dean Proctor visited Alaska to meet with some of the petroleum and …

This paper presents existence, uniqueness, and continuous dependence theorems for solutions of initial-value problems for neutral-differential equations of the form (equation omited), where f, g, and h are continuous functions with g(0, x0)=h(0, x0) = 0. The existence of a continuous solution of the functional equation z(t) =f(t, z(h(t))) is proved as a corollary. © 1971 American Mathematical Society.
Mass Fraction And The Isotopic Anomalies Of Xenon And Krypton In Ordinary Chondrites, Edward W. Hennecke
Mass Fraction And The Isotopic Anomalies Of Xenon And Krypton In Ordinary Chondrites, Edward W. Hennecke
Masters Theses
"The abundance and isotopic composition of all noble gases are reported in the Wellman chondrite, and the abundance and isotopic composition of xenon and krypton are reported in the gases released by stepwise heating of the Tell and Scurry chondrites. Major changes in the isotopic composition of xenon result from the presence of radiogenic Xe¹²⁹ and from isotopic mass fractionation. The isotopic composition of trapped krypton in the different temperature fractions of the Tell and Scurry chondrites also shows the effect of isotopic fractionation, and there is a covariance in the isotopic composition of xenon with krypton in the manner …

Thermal Expansivity And Refractive Index Determinations For Some Hydrosol Systems And Their Similarity To Properties Ascribed To "Anomalous" Water, Gerald Wayne Chappue
Masters Theses
"The characteristic thermal expansion and refractive index of aqueous dispersions of SiO₂ and NaOH were determined for samples contained in quartz micro-capillaries. Comparison is made with the expansivity and refractive properties of anomalous water or polywater as reported by other investigators. The similarity between the properties and behavior of various hydrosol systems and those ascribed to anomalous water is cited as a serious challenge to the hypothesized existence of an allotropic modification of water"--Abstract, page ii.
The Halogen And Uranium Content Of Sedimentary Rocks, Tektites, Impact Glasses, And Obsidians, Victor J. Becker Jr.
The Halogen And Uranium Content Of Sedimentary Rocks, Tektites, Impact Glasses, And Obsidians, Victor J. Becker Jr.
Masters Theses
"The iodine and uranium concentrations in sedimentary rocks were measured by irradiating the samples in a neutron flux, radiochemically separating iodine, and ß-counting the resulting activity. The values obtained for uranium are in good agreement with previous estimates of the uranium content in sedimentary rocks. The values obtained for iodine define a distribution pattern similar to that reported for chlorine and bromine, in contrast with the distribution pattern previously reported for iodine in sedimentary rocks. The concentrations of chlorine, bromine, iodine and uranium were determined in tektites, obsidians and impact glasses by neutron activation. The uranium content found in tektites …
Calculation Of Anisotropic Hyperfine Constants For Lattice Nuclei Near A Shallow Donor, Edward B. (Boyd) Hale, Robert Lee Mieher
Calculation Of Anisotropic Hyperfine Constants For Lattice Nuclei Near A Shallow Donor, Edward B. (Boyd) Hale, Robert Lee Mieher
Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works
A method is presented for calculating the magnetic anisotropic (dipolar) hyperfine constants for lattice nuclei near a shallow-donor impurity. The method assumes that the wave function of the donor electron can be expressed in an effective-mass form, i.e., a slowly varying envelope function times conduction-band Bloch functions. For each dipolar hyperfine constant, two separate calculations are performed. One calculation is for a local region about the lattice nucleus of interest. The greatest part of the interaction occurs in this region (about 85 ± 10%). The second calculation is for the more distant region. The dipolar constants in the distant region …
Excitation Of The 2s State Of Atomic Hydrogen By Electron Impact In The Distorted-Wave Approximation - Angular Distributions, W. Neil Shelton, E. S. Leherissey, Don H. Madison
Excitation Of The 2s State Of Atomic Hydrogen By Electron Impact In The Distorted-Wave Approximation - Angular Distributions, W. Neil Shelton, E. S. Leherissey, Don H. Madison
Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works
The excitation of ground-state hydrogen atoms to the 2s state by the impact of electrons with energies of 1 to 50 Ry (13.6 to 680.3 eV) has been calculated in the distorted-wave approximation with exchange included. The angular distributions of the scattered electrons at 1 and 4 Ry are compared with those derived from the close-coupling calculations by Burke, Schey, and Smith, and are compared with four different plane-wave theories at all energies calculated. Taking the close-coupling results as a standard, it is found that the distorted-wave angular distributions represent an improvement over those of the plane-wave theories.

Chemistry Faculty Research & Creative Works
The rates of oxidation of four chelating agents, NTA, EDTA, CDTA, and DTPA with Ce(IV), in sulfuric acid media, were determined spectrophotometrically by a stopped-flow technique. The reductive ability is in the order CDTA > EDTA > DTPA > NTA. The influence of varying the acidity of the medium was studied, and in each case a maximum in the rate constant vs. [H+] plot was observed. A possible interpretation of the reactivities and the influence of acidity is advanced. © 1971 Springer-Verlag.
Bayesian Confidence Limits For The Reliability Of Mixed Exponential And Distribution-Free Cascade Subsystems, Melvin D. Springer, James K. Byers
Bayesian Confidence Limits For The Reliability Of Mixed Exponential And Distribution-Free Cascade Subsystems, Melvin D. Springer, James K. Byers
Computer Science Faculty Research & Creative Works
The problem treated here is the theoretical one of deriving exact Bayesian confidence intervals for the reliability of a system consisting of some independent cascade subsystems with exponential failure probability density functions (pdf) mixed with other independent cascade subsystems whose failure pdf's are unknown. The Mellin integral transform is used to derive the posterior pdf of the system reliability. The posterior cumulative distribution function (cdf) is then obtained in the usual manner by integrating the pdf, which serves the dual purpose of yielding system reliability confidence limits while at the same time providing a check on the derived pdf.

"Analyses of the content and isotopic composition of xenon and krypton in terrestiral ores containing tellurium, selenium or iodine resulted in the following conclusions: 1. The double beta-decay half-life for ¹³⁰Te is 2.51 x 10²¹ years from analysis of tellurobismuthite from Boliden, Sweden and 2.83 x 10²¹ years from analysis of tellurides from Kalgoorlie, Australia. 2. The ratio of the double beta-decay half-life of ¹²⁸Te relative to that of ¹³⁰Te is ≥ 108 and ≥ 293 for Boliden tellurobismuthite and Kalgoorlie tellurides, respectively. 3. Selenium minerals and tellurium ores containing selenium exhibit ⁸²Kr excess attributed to the double beta-decay of …
