Prevention of biofouling on heat transfer surfaces of ocean thermal energy converters. Progress report, May 1, 1975--November 30, 1975 (open access)

Prevention of biofouling on heat transfer surfaces of ocean thermal energy converters. Progress report, May 1, 1975--November 30, 1975

The objectives of the program were to develop chemical processes utilizing a combination of certain fluorochemicals and tribulyltin based toxicants for treating the surfaces of metals which may be used to fabricate OTEC heat exchangers, and to demonstrate the effectiveness of these surface treatments as antibiofoulants. Aluminium alloy No. 3003-H14 and titanium were testd, neither of which proved satisfactory. (WDM)

Correlation of mechanical and metallurgical parameters with the acoustic emission during tensile deformation of several metals and alloys (open access)

Correlation of mechanical and metallurgical parameters with the acoustic emission during tensile deformation of several metals and alloys

Acoustic emission was monitored during plastic deformation under dead-weight tensile loading of polycrystalline aluminum, brass, copper, and steel. The acoustic emission data, both threshold-type and frequency-analysis type, were correlated with yield strength, stored elastic energy, strain hardening parameters, loading histories, diffusion processes, slip band motion and mosaic cell size. Major results are presented under the headings discontinuous yielding (Portevin--Le Chatelier Effect), parabolic strain hardening, and frequency analysis. The principal experimental techniques are also summarized. (auth)

Studies of encapsulant materials for terrestrial solar-cell arrays. First quarterly progress report, October 9--December 9, 1975 (open access)

Studies of encapsulant materials for terrestrial solar-cell arrays. First quarterly progress report, October 9--December 9, 1975

Study 1 of this contract is entitled ''Evaluation of World Experience and Properties of Materials for Encapsulation of Terrestrial Solar-Cell Arrays.'' The approach of this study is to review and analyze world experience and to compile data on properties of encapsulants for photovoltaic cells and for related applications. The objective of the effort is to recommend candidate materials and processes for encapsulating terrestrial photovoltaic arrays at low cost for a service life greater than 20 years. The objectives of Study 2, ''Definition of Encapsulant Service Environments and Test Conditions,'' are to develop the climatic/environmental data required to define the frequency and duration of detrimental environmental conditions in a 20-year array lifetime and to develop a corresponding test schedule for encapsulant systems.

Compilation of TFTR materials data (open access)

Compilation of TFTR materials data

In order to document the key thermophysical property data used in the conceptual design of Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor (TFTR) systems and components, a series of data packages has been prepared. It is expected that data for additional materials will be added and the information already provided will be updated to provide a project-wide data base.

Sequence of operations: TFTR assembly and disassembly

A conceptual sequence of operations necessary to complete initial assembly of the Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor (TFTR) are described along with subsequent disassembly operations and special techniques planned for use during radioactive disassembly. Special attention is given in this report to techniques, personnel exposure, and equipment needed to effect the opening and closing of a vacuum vessel port and the installation of the vacuum vessel seal weld cutting machine under radioactive conditions.

Experimental studies of zirconium/aluminum getter pumps (open access)

Experimental studies of zirconium/aluminum getter pumps

Getters of the type to be utilized as tritium pumps in the foreline of the TFTR torus vacuum system, and presumably in those of the neutral beam injector arms, were evaluated using hydrogen and deuterium. The capacity and speed as rated by the manufacturer (SAES) are found to be conservative. In addition, the getters are shown to continue to pump hydrogen even in the presence of chemically active, impurity gases, provided the getter temperature is maintained at >300/sup 0/C. Since hydrogen pumping is reversible, the getters can be used over and over again after reactivation to release the previously pumped hydrogen. By operating a tungsten filament to crack methane, and using the getter to pump the hydrogen produced, relatively high speed and capacity for methane is demonstrated.

Behavioral outcomes of short-term nondirective play therapy with preschool deaf children (open access)

Behavioral outcomes of short-term nondirective play therapy with preschool deaf children

This study was conducted to investigate change (as measured by positive growth changes in total personality adjustment, social maturity, and behavior patterns) in pre-school deaf children with behavioral problems who experienced short-term, nondirective play therapy. Change in behavior of these children was also investigated ten weeks after therapy.

Organizational adaptation to social change: Methodist churches in urban transitional areas (open access)

Organizational adaptation to social change: Methodist churches in urban transitional areas

This study is designed to examine churches in transitional areas of urban centers and how they adapt to social change. The research questions are: What modes of adaptation do churches select in response to social change? Why do churches when faced with social change select different modes of adaptation?

Analysis of activities in production typewriting and development of a teaching model and standards

The problem of this study is an analysis of activities in production typewriting, development of a teaching model, and establishment of production standards. The study has four main purposes which are: (1) to identify the time spent in keystroking, decision making, typing from longhand copy, erasing an original, typing and correcting one carbon copy, and proofreading; (2) to test the correlation between anxiety level and decision-making time, and IQ and decision-making time; (3) to analyze the differences in difficulty level of six production tasks and develop a teaching model; and (4) to discover the mean gross words per minute rate and total number of errors on six production tasks and develop production standards.

Kinetics and mechanism of substitution reactions of tungsten carbonyl complexes containing bidentate sulfur ligands (open access)

Kinetics and mechanism of substitution reactions of tungsten carbonyl complexes containing bidentate sulfur ligands

Previous investigation of the kinetics and mechanism of the substitution reaction of bidentate substituted transition metal carbonyl complexes with Lewis bases (L') to yield the cis distributed bidentate substitution product, where M=Cr, Mo, or W and S-S = DTO (2,2,7,7-tetra-methyl-3, 6-dithiaoctane) or DTN (2,2,8,8-tetramethyl-3,7-dithianonane) have suggested that this reaction proceeds via a mechanism involving initial reversible dissociation of one end of the bidentate sulfur ligand followed by rapid attack of L' on the resulting five-coordinate intermediate.

The influence of Stoicism on the Jacobean drama

The purpose of this dissertation is to identify the Stoic influences in the Jacobean drama. Although the Stoic figure and references to Stoicism appear frequently in this drama, there has never been a comprehensive study of the Stoic element in the drama of this period. This study will fill this scholastic gap.
