Big grant Boost arts

Description: A newspaper clipping featuring an article on Dr. Jack Davis, who is the dean of the School of Visual arts. Davis hopes that a $4.3 million dollar grant will show public schools that an education based on the arts increases student achievements in all fields. Davis is also co-director of North Texas Institute for Educators on the Visual Arts, an art education consortium, whose belief is that visual image is a powerful learning tool.

Isobutanol-methanol mixtures from synthesis gas. Quarterly technical progress report, 1 January--31 March 1996

Description: A series of CuMgCeO{sub x} catalysts have been prepared. Range of Cu dispersion, determined by N{sub 2}O titration, was 19-48% and are among the highest reported in the literature for Cu-based methanol and higher alcohol synthesis catalysts. Kinetics of MeOH and EtOH coupling reactions on Cu/ZnO and K-Cu/MgO/CeO{sub 2} catalysts indicate that Cu promotes alcohol dehydrogenation. Acetaldehyde is a reactive intermediate. High-pressure isobutanol synthesis studies have been carried out on K- and C… more

Pressure fluctuations as a diagnostic tool for fluidized beds. Technical progress report, January 1, 1996--March 31, 1996

Description: Additional pressure fluctuation data was recorded from the ISU power plants two CFB boilers. Absolute pressure fluctuations were measured immediately above the distributor nozzles and near the top of the CFB boilers. The fluctuations measured near the bottom of the bed exhibit a highly oscillatory (0.25-0.3 Hz) phenomena. This {open_quotes}square wave{close_quotes} pressure signal is observed at all times of the day and under different boiler loadings. Steps were taken to insure that abasing wa… more

A study of multistage/multifunction column for fine particle separation. Quarterly technical progress report, January 1, 1996-- March 31, 1996

Description: The overall objective of the proposed research program is to explore the potential application of a new invention involving a multistage column equipped with vortex-inducing loop-flow contactors (hereafter referred to as the multistage column) for fine coal cleaning process. The research work will identify the design parameters and their effects on the performance of the separation process. The results of this study will provide an engineering basis for further development of this technology in… more

Synthesis of acrylates. [Quarterly report], January 1, 1996--March 31, 1996

Description: The objective is to develop an oxidation/condensation route for synthesis of acrylates/methacrylates from syngas. The investigators are also studying the dehydrogenation-condensation routes, based on its merits proven by studies at NCSU/RTI. The thermodynamics of dehydrogenaton-condensation route show its feasibility, and it is likely that the fluid will be more stable under reducing conditions. Accomplishments for the past quarter are discussed for the following tasks: proprionate synthesis; c… more

The utilization of the microflora indigenous to and present in oil-bearing formations to selectively plug the more porous zones thereby increasing oil recovery during waterflooding. Ninth quarterly progress report, January 1--March 31, 1996

Description: The objective of this work is to demonstrate the use of indigenous microbes as a method of profile control in waterfloods. It is expected that as the microbial population is induced to increase, that the expanded biomass will selectively block the more permeable zones of the reservoir thereby forcing injection water to flow through the less permeable zones which will result in improved sweep efficiency. This increase in microbial population will be accomplished by injecting a nutrient solution … more

Corrosion protection of SiC-based ceramics with CVD mullite coatings

Description: SiC based ceramics have been identified as the leading candidate materials for elevated temperature applications in harsh oxidation/corrosion environments. It has been established that a protective coating can be effectively used to avoid problems with excessive oxidation and hot corrosion. However, to date, no coating configuration has been developed that can withstand the rigorous requirements imposed by such applications. Chemical vapor deposited (CVD) mullite coatings due to their desirable… more
