The voltage or electric potential difference across the terminals of a cell when no current is drawn from it. The emf of a cell is the sum of the electric potential differences (PDs) produced by a separation of charges (electrons or ions) that can occur at each phase boundary (or interface) in the cell. The magnitude of each PD depends on the chemical nature of the two contacting phases. Thus, at the interface between two different metals, some electrons will have moved from the metal with a higher free energy of electrons to the metal with a lower free energy of electrons. The resultant charge separation will produce a PD (just as charge separation produces a voltage across a capacitor) that, at equilibrium, exactly opposes further electron flow. Similarly, PDs can be produced when electrons partition across a metal/solution interface or metal/solid interface, and when ions partition across a solution/membrane/solution interface.

Using the VisSimTM visual environment, researchers developed a modular simulation system to facilitate an application-specific, low-cost study of the system dynamics for wind-diesel hybrid power systems. This manual presents the principal modules of the simulator and, using case studies of a hybrid system, demonstrates some of the benefits that can be gained from understanding the effects of the designer's modifications to these complex dynamic systems.

A outline of wetland classifications based on the wetland hydrogeomorphic properties of geomorphic setting, water source, and hydrodynamics.

A workshop in which issues concerning deepwater expansion and its impact on the environment were discussed.

This work focuses on the examination of the chemistry of N-, O-, and S- heterocycles (NOSHs) from fossil fuels and pyrogenic sources in estuarine sediment-water. In addition to the experiments conducted is a characterization of NOSH transformation products using various methods.

This is a report covering the Minerals Management Service (MMS) is responsibility on leasing offshore lands for oil and gas exploration and development. The reports looks to expand air quality models.

This is a memorandum from President William Clinton to inform the heads of all departments and agencies on the implementation of his Executive Order on Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations.

Summary describing the work completed at the Coastal Studies Institute for the Effects of Offshore Emissions on Ambient Levels of Atmospheric SO2 at Breton Sound, Louisiana. It includes background information on the project funding and sponsorship, goals, methodology, and findings.

This report is a continuation of a similar study conducted from 1989-1991 when permanent stations were established to monitor the coral in the area to assess how environmental factors were affecting the reefs. Growth rates and declines were observed, as well as the rates of coral bleaching in the East and West Garden Banks to determine the state of the coral reefs. There are four appendices that present the data gathered.

Summary describing the work completed at Continental Shelf Associates, Inc. for 'Long-Term Monitoring at the East and West Flower Garden Banks.' It includes background information on the project funding and sponsorship, goals, methodology, and findings.

A project developing a way to manually estimate road user cost (RUC) for construction projects over time.

The high-level radioactive waste sludge in the underground storage tanks at the Hanford Site contains various chromium solid phases. Dissolution and removal of chromium from tank waste sludges is desirable prior to high-level waste vitrification because increased volume is required to incorporate the residual chromium. Unfortunately, dissolution of chromium from the sludge to form Cr(OH){sub 4}{sup -} through treatment with heated NaOH solution (also used to dissolve aluminum phases and metathesize phosphates to sodium salts) generally has been unsuccessful in tests with both simulated and genuine Hanford waste sludges. Oxidative dissolution of the Cr(III) compounds to form soluble chromate has been proposed as an alternative chromium solid phase dissolution method and results of limited prior testing have been reported. The present systematic tests investigated oxygen gas, hydrogen peroxide, and sodium persulfate oxidants to dissolve Cr(III) under alkaline conditions to form soluble chromate. Permanganate and ozone also were considered for testing but were thought to be of secondary interest because of the insoluble residue (MnO{sub 2} from permanganate) and complex equipment (necessary to generate ozone) implicit with use of these reagents. The oxygen and hydrogen peroxide reagents leave no condensable residue and sodium persulfate only leaves soluble sodium sulfate. Crystalline Cr(OH){sub …
