The thermal diffusivities of three Sn-based solder alloys (Sn-3%wtAg-0.5%wtCu, Sn-4%wtAg-0.5%wtCu, and Sn-3.8%wtAg-0.7%wtCu), were determined from room temperature to up to 120°C. In addition to the lead-free alloy, the thermal diffusivity of the binary constituent alloys Cu6Sn5…
The objective of this work was to investigate the behaviour of malleable metals in tumbling mills. Much of the work focused on lead: shots, flattened shots and fragments were ground in three different laboratory mills. Testwork with fragments was repeated in the presence of a br…
This thesis consists of three studies of surface processes on Earth: 1. Age and isotopic constraints of pluvial episodes in the Western Desert of Egypt. North Africa has undergone drastic climatic change over the past several hundred thousand years. Timing of humid intervals cal…
This study was conducted to determine: (1) the removal of Cr (III and VI) from solution by soils and A. niger and reduction of Cr (VI) in spiked soils, (2) the mole fraction of Pb-EDTA in EDTA treated soils polluted with Pb from human activities as well as soil and chemical fact…
This thesis examines the use of electrochemically treated viscose rayon based activated carbon cloth (ACC) for the removal of metal ions from aqueous effluent streams. Two types of treatment were performed: (i) electrochemical oxidation and (ii) electrochemical reduction to enha…
In Chapter 1, the association between lead exposure in turkey vultures and big game hunting in California was evaluated by comparing vulture blood lead concentrations within and outside of the deer hunting season, and in areas along a gradient of wild pig hunting intensity (low,…
Nonpoint P sources from the agricultural landscape are a significant environmental problem for surface water bodies due to the promotion of eutrophication. Many states have developed P assessment tools to help differentiate land uses and their potential for P losses to surface w…
Exposure to Pb is a major risk factor for several childhood diseases. Therefore, Pb has been removed from many consumer products, including gasoline, paint, and water conduits in industrialized countries. These preventive policies are among the best environmental health interven…
Industries such as nuclear and electroplating often generate wastewater containing toxic metals such as lead and organic ligands such as EDTA. Complexed aqueous metal species, such as Pb(II)-EDTA, are difficult to treat employing conventional metal removal methods. The present w…
Urban environments have a history of anthropogenic input of heavy metals to soils. Toledo, Ohio is an urban setting that has been altered through heavy industry and transportation dating back to the 1800s. Heavy metal contamination in soil has been shown to cause serious health …
Throughout the world of business, there are a plethora of studies and guides for employee engagement. The research is deep and wide for the causes and effects of an engaged workforce and the skills it takes to rally a work culture. However, in the realm of Christian higher educa…
