This thesis is concerned with the synthesis and properties of fluorocarbene complexes of ruthenium and osmium. Chapter 1 is a review of transition metal CF3-complexes and illustrates a number of unusual features of these compounds which makes them suitable for modification into CF2-complexes. To place the fluorocarbene complexes into context, Chapter 2 contains a brief review of transition metal carbene complexes with the emphasis on other halocarbene species. As described in Chapter 3, CF3-comp...

The author uses a framework developed by J. Victor Baldridge (Power and Conflict in the University, John Wiley, New York, 1971) to present a case study of equal opportunity programs in the United States Navy. The study is presented in the context of a complex systems change effort. For organizations attempting to create a healthy EO climate the author suggests that the most important part of any strategy for long term effect is to identify the primary means of power and control in the organizati...

Literature, American

Characters, more often than not, form the central interest and the meaning of a novel, and the diversity of character types attests to both the richness of the novel as a genre and the difficulty of cataloguing characters in definitive or even satisfactory groups. Such grouping, however, yields interesting similarities among what are often thought to be very different novels. Little Dorrit, The Wings of the Dove, and The Sound and the Fury are three novels not previously grouped, yet they exempl...

In the Categories Aristotle claims that substances may be the subjects of true predications, but that a substance may never be truly predicated of a subject. Yet in the Metaphysics substance is identified with form, although form may be predicated of a subject. The questions posed by these two claims about substance remain no matter how the puzzle in Aristotelian interpretation is solved. Frege, and most contemporary philosophers, hold that individuals are not predicable of anything. This is ref...

Religion, Philosophy of

Chapter 1 presents two inadequate theories of belief. Chapter 2 examines three inadequate theories of de re belief. In Chapter 3, I distinguish belief from the other attitudes in terms of the functional role of belief states, and I distinguish among individual beliefs in terms of their mode of presentation and what they represent. A de re belief is defined as a belief about objects the agent has experienced and has a sufficient amount of information about. Chapter 4 defends the Quinean analysis ...

The cloudy bag model introduces a fundamental scalar field taken to be the pion into the MIT bag Lagrangian so as to restore chiral invariance to the theory. One also acquires the capability of calculating pion-baryon interaction quantities such as decay widths and coupling constants. In this work we review the MIT and cloudy bag formalism. We calculate the (DELTA)(DELTA)(pi) coupling constant and show that it disagrees with the single experimental determination of f(,(DELTA)(DELTA)(pi)). We als...

SBS, DNA, DNA model, Helix, Side-by-side, Warped Zipper, Watson-Crick

Watson and Crick’s double-helical model of DNA is considered to be one of the great discoveries in biology. However, in 1976, two groups of scientists, one in New Zealand, the other in India, independently published essentially the same radical alternative to the double helix. The alternative, Side-By-Side (SBS) or ‘warped zipper’ conformation for DNA is not helical. Rather than intertwine, as do Watson and Crick’s helices, its two exoskeletal strands are topologically independent. Thus, unlike ...

The problem of detecting intensity changes in images is canonical in vision. Edge detection operators are typically designed to optimally estimate first or second derivative over some (usually small) support. Other criteria such as output signal to noise ratio or bandwidth have also been argued for. This thesis is an attempt to formulate a set of edge detection criteria that capture as directly as possible the desirable properties of an edge operator. Variational techniques are used to find a so...

A theoretical investigation of positron/atom and positron/molecule complexes is conducted using standard quantum mechanical techniques. This study addresses questions of stability and seeks to characterize these novel species. This work is divided into three major parts; the first is a Restricted Hartree-Fock (RHF) study for the first-row positron/anion systems {A('-);e('+)}, A = Li, Be, B, C, N, O and F. Both RHF wavefunctions and total energies are computed and it is found that all {A(...

The work in this thesis concerns the analysis of essential replication genes of the F plasmid of Escherichia coli. The techniques principally employed were the cloning of restriction fragments, transposition mutagenesis, maxicell analysis of proteins, and DNA sequencing. This work led to the following findings. 1. A 1.15kb region of f5 was shown to contain all the functions required for initiation of F replication. Insertions of a transposon within this 1.15kb region abolished mini-F replication...

A new method for the synthesis of broadband impedance transformers having predictable passband frequency response is presented. The technique is based on the use of non-commensurate (i.e. unequal element length) transmission line networks. Through the use of approximations and computer optimization studies non-commensurate circuits are shown to be advantageous in distributed circuit design. The new method derives a non-commensurate circuit from a conventional commensurate prototype in such a way...

Auckland, the largest city in New Zealand, with a population of approx. 700,000, is notorius for its high incidence of respiratory allergies, particularly asthma. At a conservative estimate, one in every ten persons in the region suffers from allergic asthma and/or rhinitis (hay fever). In the Auckland Hospital Board area alone, there were 58 deaths from asthma in 1979 and 57 in 1980 (an average of 5 per month). Asthma and rhinitis affect people of all ages. To investigate the reason for the hig...

Systems of measurements were developed for the characterization of single crystal silicon solar cells. For that, the curves I x V were measured in the dark and for different intensity of illumination. Curves of spectral response and of capacitance as a function of the reciprocal of the voltage were also measured. The behavior of the cells as a function of temperature was analysed and also measurements of junction depth were made by three different methods. Values for the parameters that characte...

Archaeology

My dissertation focuses on the active role that material culture plays in the formulation, reproduction and modification of early complex societies. I reject the usual archaeological notion that cultural items are passive reflections of behavior and argue, instead, for their active agency in cultural process. In order to understand more clearly the dynamic interaction of material culture with a social context, I have identified a set of eight properties of material items which seem to play parti...
