Storm-Sewer Input Of Heavy Metals Into An Urban Lake Environment, George A. Duba Apr 1981

Storm-Sewer Input Of Heavy Metals Into An Urban Lake Environment, George A. Duba

Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to measure the concentration of lead, cadmium, zinc and copper in runoff entering an urban lake ecosystem and to measure the distribution of these metals in selected tropic levels of the lake.

Fisk Lake was chosen as the study site and is located in East Grand Rapids, Michigan. Samples were collected of stormwater, rainwater and lakewater together with substrate, aquatic macrophytes Peltandra virginica, chironomid larvae, Chironomidae, snails Physa, and eight species of fish, Ictalurus nebulosus, Esox lucius, Lepomis gibbosus, L. macrochirus, Pomoxis nigromaculatus, Micropterus salmoides, Catostomus commersoni, and Perca flavescens. All samples were collected …


Stereochemistry And Circular Dichorism Of Some Cobalt(Iii) Complexes With Ethylenediamine-N, N’-Diacetic Acid And N, N'-Dimethylethylenediamine-N ,N'-Diacetic Acid, Godfrey Chinenye Mbah Aug 1980

Stereochemistry And Circular Dichorism Of Some Cobalt(Iii) Complexes With Ethylenediamine-N, N’-Diacetic Acid And N, N'-Dimethylethylenediamine-N ,N'-Diacetic Acid, Godfrey Chinenye Mbah

Dissertations

Two series of complexes trans-{Co(LL')EDDA}('+) and trans-{Co(LL')DMEDDA}('+), LL' = Meen, 2-Mepn, udmeen, sdmeen, R-dmepn were prepared. EDDA was reacted with cobalt(II) carbonate and the resulting solution combined with the diamine of choice. For the DMEDDA complexes the ligand DMEDDA was first prepared by adding neutralized chloroacetic acid to sdmeen and precipitating out the ligand as the barium salt. The DMEDDA complexes were prepared by reacting the barium salt first with cobalt(II) sulfate and then with the diamines listed above except udmeen. The DMEDDA complexes with R-pn were also prepared. For both series the oxidation of the Co(II) to Co(III) was …

Chapter I

The Problem

Introduction

The traditional philosophy that a college-or a university is an exclusive institution in which only highly selected individuals receive a concentrated training in the traditional liberal arts no longer exists. In America, for instance, as early as 1870, Harvard, the colonial college with a narrow curriculum, was transformed rather rapidly into a modern university with many new subjects and the elective system (Garrett, 1949). Also, since 1642, when the first entrance requirements were instituted for American higher education, a continuing debate has developed over what constitutes a sound curriculum for education. There are those who …

Linear Operators Between Nonarchimedean Banach Spaces, Krishnamachari S. Nadathur Aug 1973

Linear Operators Between Nonarchimedean Banach Spaces, Krishnamachari S. Nadathur

Dissertations

I Preliminaries

The purpose of this dissertation is to extend some classical results on compact and Fredholm operators to the case in which the linear spaces involved are non-archimedean normed linear spaces over a valued field.

In Section I are listed some definitions and basic concepts that are needed for a study of non-archimedean valuation theory. The concepts of tensor products of nonarchimedean Banach spaces over a spherically complete field F, and of the tensor product of operators, are also dealt with in this section.

The proofs of most of the results in Section II are based on the known …
