Ailion, David Charles | Evidence for elastic disorder in the elastically ordered phase of KCN | We have obtained evidence from 1 3C NMR measurements that the CN~ ion in the elastically ordered phase of KCN is misoriented slightly with respect to the orthorhombic b axis. This misorientation varies randomly over the lattice, averaging to zero on a macroscopic scale. The misorientations are mani... | Potassium cyanide; Anisotropy; Orthorhombic crystal; NMR; Nuclear magnetic resonance | 1981 |

Pershing, David W. | Mechanisms of NOx formation and control: alternative and petroleum-derived liquid fuels | Petroleum-, coal- and shale-derived liquid fuels were burned in a downfired tunnel furnace to assess the impact of fuel properties on the formation and control of NOx emissions. A nitrogen-free oxidant mixture (Ar, C02 , 02) was used to isolate fuel NOx formation. Under excess air conditions fuel N... | Exhaust emissions; Alternative fuels; Petroleum-derived liquid fuels | 1981 |

Armentrout, Peter B. | Cobalt carbene ion: reactions of Co+ with C2H4, cyclo-C3H6 and cyclo-C2H4O | An ion beam apparatus is employed to study the formation of the cobalt carbene ion, CoCH2+. This ion is produced in the endothermic reaction of cobalt ions with ethene and cyclopropane and in an exothermic reaction with ethylene oxide. A model is proposed to account for the dependence of experimenta... | Cobalt carbine; Ion beam; Bond dissociation energy; Reaction cross section; Endothermic reactions | 1981 |

Miller, Jan D.; Herbst, John A. | Factors affecting droplet size distributions produced in dispersed phase mixers | Droplet size distributions were determined by stabilizing in gelatin and measurement of the distributions by means of computerized image analysis. Several variables that affect droplet sizes were studied and the resulting size distributions were modeled via a population balance equation. Key paramet... | Gelatin; Phases; Agitating | 1981 |

Christensen, Douglas A. | Effects of increased energy prices on U.S. agriculture: an econometric approach | Although the contents of this manuscript remain the responsibility of the authors, we wish to thanks a group of reviewers for the time and conscientious effort they put forth to solidify this final draft. Andrew Morton, Brian Holding, Wesley Buchele, and Arnold Paulsen deserve much credit for their ... | Energy prices | 1981 |

Hawkes, Kristen | Alyawara plant use and optimal foraging theory | Various authors have remarked on the importance of seeds in the pre-European diet of central Australian Aborigines. The Alyawara, an Arandic-speaking group, were typical in this respect. They collected edible seeds from nearly half the eighty-five plant species in their traditional subsistence inven... | Australia; Aborigines; Foraging; Seeds | 1981 |
