IT IS DESIRABLE TO HAVE A MTHOD FOR EFFICIENT, COST EFFEC- TIVE, AND SIMULTANEOUS REMOVAL OF PB(II), AG(I), CD(II) AND HG(II) FROM POTABLE WATER TO LEVELS WELL BELOW THEIR EPA LIMITS. SUCH A METHOD COULD BE USED BY BOTH MUNICIPAL WATER WASTE TREATMENT PLALNTS. THE INTERACTION OF THE MACROCYCLE TETRAAZA-18CROWN WITH THE METALS OF INTEREST IS OF SUFFI- CIENT STRENGTH AND SELECTIVITY TO REMOVE THE ME ...

THERE IS A NEED FOR A DEVICE TO CONTINUOUSLY MONITOR CATIONSAND ANIONS IN THE PPB RANGE IN THE PRESENCE OF OTHER MORE CONCENTRATED MATRIX SPECIES. THIS NEED EXISTS IN RELATION TO SPECIES THAT ARE TOXIC, VALUABLE, OR OTHERWISE OF INTEREST. SUCH A DEVICE IS NEEDED IN MUNICIPAL WATER TREATMENT PLANTS, INDUSTRIAL PLANTS, AND OTHER PLACES WHERE THESE SPECIES SHOULD BE MONITORED WITH GREATER ACCURACY AN ...

THIS RESEARCH PROJECT FOCUSES ON DESIGNING A PROGRAM THAT APPLIES MODERN PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICES OF TESL, BILINGUAL EDUCATION, AND SECOND LANGUAGE INSTRUCTION TO TEACHING SPANISH-SPEAKING JR. HIGH SCHOOL LEP STUDENTS SCIENCE CONCEPTS IN THE CONTEXT OF AN INTERACTIVE MULTIMEDIA ENVIRONMENT. SUBJECT CONTENT, PEDAGOGICAL ISSUES, AND TECHNOLOGICAL CONSIDERATIONS ARE EXAMINED TO DETERMINE THE SCOPE OF ...

IN ORDER TO SUCCESSFULLY ESTABLISH A REQUIREMENTS LIFE CYCLE WITH A DISTINCT SET OF ARCHITECTED PRODUCTS, IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT A FOUNDATION FOR TOOLS EXIST. WE PROPOSE TO RESEARCH AND CREATE A HIGH LEVEL DESIGN FOR A COMPREHENSIVE INTEGRATION PLATFORM FOR REQUIREMENTS ENGINEERING ENVIRONMENTS (REES). IN ORDER TO PROVIDE THE RIGHT LEVEL OF SUPPORT FOR THE MANY STAKEHOLDERS WHO SHOULD USE THIS ENVIR ...

WE WILL EXPLORE THE POSSIBILITY OF FABRICATING SUPERCONDUCTOR MATERIAL USING A LOW ENERGY HIGH FLUX ATOMIC OXYGEN SOURCE. THE GOAL WILL BE BOTH TO IMPROVE THE EPITAXIAL GROWTH OF SUPERCONDUCTOR THIN FILMS ON SUBSTRATES AND TO REMOVE THE NECESSITY OF HARSH POST-ANNEALLING IN OXYGEN AMBIENTS.

UTAH CONTAINS SIGNIFICANT RESOURCES OF TAR SANDS WHICH, IF DEVELOPED, COULD BECOME AN IMPORTANT COMPONENT OF THE NATION'S REQUIREMENTS FOR PETROLEUM PRODUCTS. THE ECONOMICSFOR PRODUCTION OF SYNCRUDE FROM UTAH TAR SANDS HAVE HISTORICALLY BEEN JUST BEYOND THE RANGE OF PROFITABILITY. PRODUCTION OF ASPHALT, HOWEVER, APPEARS TO BE PROFITABLE TODAY. CAPITAL AND OPERATING COSTS FOR PRODUCTION OF ASPHALT ...

CERAMICS ARE BEING WIDELY CONSIDERED FOR REPLACEMENT OF METALS AND POLYMERS IN MANY ENGINEERING APPLICATIONS. THEIR CORROSION RESISTANCE, SMALL COEFFICIENTS OF THERMAL EXPANSION, LIGHT WEIGHT, LOW COST, EXCELLENT MECHANICAL PROPERTIES UNDER HEAVY STRESS, OUTSTANDING ELECTRICAL AND OPTICAL PROPERTIES, AND EXCEPTIONAL RESISTANCE TO HIGH TEMPERATURE, MAKE THEM VERY ATTRACTIVE IN STRUCTURAL, MICROELEC ...
