No full textGift of John Revitte.Olga "Jo" Beltrame, with her husband Ed Beltrame, discusses her career as a union officer and organizer with the United Packinghouse Workers Organizing Committee and UPWOC Local 69. Beltrame talks about her childhood in Montreal, her father's union activity, coming to Detroit to find work at the age of 14, her experiences working at the Swift meat packing plant and what she later did to help organize meat packing plants, especially Swift's Detroit Hammond-Standish plant. The Beltrames both discuss unions and their shared union activities through the years, including their work in organizing meat packing plants across several states, the wage improvements and benefits which were won for workers, and their elected positions in the union. Ends abruptly. The Beltrames are interviewed by John Revitte, Michigan State University professor of Labor and Industrial Relations, and Joan Kelly, editor of the Michigan AFL-CIO newspaper. The first of two interviews
Interview of Olga "Jo" Beltrame and Ed Beltrame, union officers and organizers with the United Packinghouse Workers Organizing Committee and UPWOC Local 69. Part 2
No full textGift of John Revitte.In the second of two oral history interviews, Olga "Jo" Beltrame and her husband Ed Beltrame discuss their careers as union organizers for the United Packinghouse Workers Organizing Committee (later called the Amalgamated Meat Cutters Union). They talk about organizing the meat processing plants in Detroit, efforts to integrate the workforce at local restaurants, people thinking that childcare centers for workers were "socialist", organizing drives at packing plants in the South, the House Un-American Activities Committee, and management's exploitation of female workers. The Beltrames also talk about the efforts to organize Wolverine Worldwide in Michigan and the very difficult time they had. The couple says that they retired from organizing in 1974 and that unionism bettered their lives and the lives of millions of workers around the world. The Beltrames are interviewed by John Revitte, Michigan State University professor of Labor and Industrial Relations. The second of two interviews

Kinetics of the reaction of toluene with benzyl alcohol over a Nafion-silica composite
No full textThe title reaction, a set of concurrent-consecutive steps, was studied in a slurry batch reactor at 50, 65, and 75 degrees C, using cyclohexane as solvent and Nafion SAC-13 as solid acid catalyst. The final products were found to be dibenzylether, the isomers of benzyltoluene and dibenzyltoluenes and small amounts of unidentified byproducts. The kinetic results were interpreted by a Langmuir-Hinshelwood model, evaluating the main kinetics and adsorption coefficient involved in the reactions and their temperature dependence.

Il progetto “Le rotte del marmo nel mondo antico” e la circolazione dei marmi bianchi nel Mediterraneo romano
No full textWe present the preliminary results of the study of the cargos with white marbles in the project “The routes of the marble
in Antiquity”. Aim of this research is to reconstruct the traffics and the characteristics of the ships involved in this special
transportation. We have surveyed four shipwrecks carrying Prokonnesian marble, and few elements of other white mar
bles (Dokimeion, Pentelic and Lunense), and three sites with Lunense marble which allow to reconstruct the routes of
these cargos in the central Mediterranean. The marble is always transported as raw blocks or raw columns also of very big
size, but, in few cases, half worked objects (bases and thin slabs) can be present in the cargo. The size both of the cargos
and of the marble elements suggest that often they had to be destined to the construction of big public buildings.
The size of the ships can reach 40 m of lenght and 350 tonns of cargo which is close to the Late Republican onerariae
transporting wine from central Italy to Gallia but much more of the other ships known belonging to the Imperial period.
The chronology of the shipwrecks is III century AD for the cargos of Prokonnesian and I-II century AD for the cargos of
Lunense, although these last contexts are still under investigation. The scarcity of pottery in the sites does not facilitate the
dating and the reconstruction of the routes which is often difficu
