High valent uranium dioxo and imido complexes : synthesis and structure
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Early actinide elements have attracted considerable attention in recent years due to the need for rigorous advancements in spent nuclear fuel recycling and remediation technologies, and for their emerging versatility in ...
Radioanalytical multi-elemental analysis : new methodology and archaeometric applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Several projects are covered in this dissertation: the application of instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) and rigorous statistical analyses to the sourcing of Egyptian limestone and Kenyan obsidian, and the ...
Monte Carlo neutronic simulations for a new approach to parametric INAA and Mo-99 production feasibility at MURR
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
A novel approach to parametric instrumental neutron activation analysis at MURR has been established. In particular, a detailed MCNP5 steady-state model of the MURR core was developed. The model, which was based on the ...
Applications of elemental analysis for archaeometric studies : analytical and statistical methods for understanding geochemical trends in ceramics, ochre and obsidian
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
, including INAA, and X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF). Multivariate statistics of the data point to trends in the inter- and intra-source variability of ochre. Elemental results from Missouri, California, Oregon, Texas, Arizona, and Peru have been...
Investigation of K₀ NAA at MURR and investigation of the toenail as a biomonitor for Mg, Zn, Cu, Se and Hg
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Chapter 1: The K[subscript 0] method of neutron activation analysis (INAA) requires a stable core and neutron flux parameterization. The stability of the reactor core at MURR...
Computational studies of three chemical systems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
The subject of this dissertation is the use of electronic structure calculations to examine and supplement the experimental observations of three different chemical systems. Both ab initio and DFT methods have been employed. ...
Investigation of CO2 capture systems, Lewis acid-base pairs, and oscillating reactions with electronic structure theory and kinetics-based approaches
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
Equilibrium is a key theme in chemistry education. Starting in high school and continuing in freshman general chemistry courses, STEM students have to learn the foundations of equilibria. What is the key concept of an ...
