High Density Slag Concrete

Description: Test results are presented that show that a strong concrete weighing approximately 185 lb/ft/sup 3/ can be made using water, waste lead slag, and Ciment Fondu. Feasibility, materials, mortar tests, concrete tests, and Ciment Fondu concretes are discussed. A 24-in.-thick concrete shield wall would have to be increased in thickness by 5 in. if slag concrete is used in place of barytes or magnetite concrete. On a pound-for-pound basis, the waste lead slag concrete materials were 30% cheaper than b… more

EMISSION SPECTRA OF ELECTRON IRRADIATED METAL FOILS

Description: Thesis submitted to Univ. of Tennessee by L. C. Emerson. An experimental investigation of the visible and ultraviolet light emitted when a charged particle moves across a boundary between two media with different dielectric properties was carried out. The spectral distributions of the light from evaporated foils of copper, germanium, silver, tin, and antimony bombarded by a 1.5-microamp beam of electrons were measured as a function of electron energy between 25 and 100 kev. The analysis was car… more

An Analysis of the Political Career of Carl Schurz, 1868-1888

Description: Carl Schurz, appearing on the American political stage during a period of great change, felt the influence of human events as he formulated his political thinking. He also was affected by his German birth, education, and revolutionary activity before his immigration to the United States. Indeed, it appears that much of his political thought was reaction to existing circumstances or events rather than pure contemplative thinking.

A Study of Asymmetric Syntheses in Coordination Chemistry

Description: Since only one example of an asymmetric synthesis which involved an intermediate containing an optically active ligand has been reported, two questions immediately arise: "Is this type of asymmetric synthesis an isolated example, or is it a stepping stone toward a generalized trend for Co (III) which may be extended to include levo rotatory, as well as dextro rotatory molecules?" In addition, asymmetric synthesis affords a new avenue for synthesizing resolved neutral complexes.
