A G4MP2 theoretical study on the gas phase enthalpies of formation for various polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and other C~10~ through C~20~ unsaturated hydrocarbons
No full textGas phase enthalpies of formation at 298.15 and 1 atm (Δ~f~H~(g),298K~) were calculated using the atomization approach at the G4MP2 composite method level of theory for 86 polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and other C~10~ through C~20~ unsaturated hydrocarbons. Where available, good agreement with prior experimental data and/or high level theoretical estimates was obtained. Linear regressions between semiempirical MNDO, MNDO-d, AM1, PM3, RM1, and PM6 estimated Δ~f~H~(g),298K~ and the corresponding G4MP2 values were employed to obtain G4MP2 corrected semiempirical Δ~f~H~(g),298K~ for a suite of 156 C~11~ through C~42~ unsaturated hydrocarbons and PAHs
Sustainability and Environmental Chemistry in Semi-Arid/Arid Regions: A Unique Research Opportunity with Global Implications
No full textDr. Sierra Rayne will be speaking on the interplay of sustainability and environmental chemistry in semi-arid and arid regions worldwide. Drawing on his previous, current, and proposed research on organic and inorganic contaminants in aquatic systems, Dr. Rayne will illustrate the importance of multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches towards tackling environmental problems. A key element of his work is looking at chemical dynamics in environmental matrices, and in particular, photochemically generated reactive intermediates and their impact on biological systems and net ecosystem functions. Semi-arid/arid regions also offer unique opportunities to focus on the role of photochemistry in the biogeochemical cycling of oxyanion-forming heavy metals such as arsenic, molybdenum, selenium, and uranium (among others). Given the importance of semi-arid/arid regions in hosting major mineral deposits, multidisciplinary environmental chemistry research can also help make contributions towards sustainability in the worldwide mining industry. These fields offer great opportunities for researchers and students interested in semi-arid/arid landscapes, and understanding the role and impact of these regions on global contaminant fluxes is at the core of Dr. Rayne’s program
The Electronic Heat Capacity of a Copper?3 Per Cent Zinc Alloy

CR Chateaubriand et saint Augustin - E. Tabet (14 mai 2013)
No full textSont présents Edouard Garancher, Paul-Joseph Michel, Bernard et Micheline Rayne, Servane Rayne-Michel, David Reney, Emmanuelle Tabet. I. Introduction (Édouard Garancher) É. Garancher souligne que le parcours du séminaire a désormais clôt son étude de l'héritage augustinien dans les siècles modernes. L'omission du XVIIIe siècle dans ce parcours correspond à une éclipse d'Augustin dans le paysage intellectuel, à laquelle E. Garancher propose deux raisons : une raison historique, le déclin du ..

Visual communication in mapping the life and afterlife of Nicholaus Maniacutius
No full textThis project is a faculty-student research collaboration with Dr. Marie-Therese Champagne and mentored by Prof. Thomas Asmuth. The faculty-student group consists of multidisciplinary students from the Kugelman Honors Program and faculty stemming from the College of Arts, Social Sciences, and Humanities. Respectfully with Prof. Thomas Asmuth from the art department and Dr. Marie-Thérèse Champagne from the history department. The project's research director and author. The students include Rayne Henry, Lucas Alderfer and Isabella Cameron.
The research is a component of Champagne's research of the text, Ad incorrupta pontificum nomina conservanda by Nicolaus Maniacutius, a 12th-century Cistercian scholar from Rome. The text is devoted to preserving the 'proper' naming and lineage of Catholic popes. Ad incorrupta is an important work by Maniacutius; in other writings, he condemns the brutalization of texts and history by faulty scribal transcriptions. Champagne has painstakingly spent years locating surviving copies of Ad incorrupta revealing that the manuscript is located in multiple sites across Europe. The text was reproduced by hand for many institutions in the later Middle Ages, indicating the significance and popularity of the subject

Great Saling to Rayne Pipeline, Essex. An Archaeological Evaluation.
No full textThe Cambridge Archaeological Unit (CAU) undertook the archaeological monitoring of the construction of a main water pipeline from Great Saling to Rayne by Anglia Water and its agents between the 22nd September 2008 and 13th March 2009. The pipeline commenced at Great Saling and traversed the upland glacial plateau of North Essex, at present a largely open arable landscape. The pipeline terminated at Rayne in close proximity to the A120 Stane Street a major Roman road connecting Colchester to St Albans. The monitoring produced evidence of activity on the upland from the Neolithic period to the Late Iron Age
Benchmarking the SPARC software program for estimating solubilities of naphthalene and anthracene in organic solvents
No full textThe SPARC software program was benchmarked for calculating the solubilities of two representative polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), naphthalene and anthracene, in a range of organic solvents at various temperatures. Although SPARC was able to reasonably approximate the solubilities of naphthalene in some organic solvents, gross errors were obtained for other solvents. For anthracene, poor prediction performance was observed in all solvents considered. Overall, the results suggest that SPARC is currently not suitable for accurately predicting the solubilities of representative PAHs relevant for the petroleum sector in various organic solvents
The Rayne\u27s Marsh Waterfowl Project, part of a mitigation project began in 1974
No full textThe Rayne\u27s Marsh Waterfowl Project, part of a mitigation project began in 1974 when the section of I-95 between Brunswick and Gardiner was constructed, has been on hold for nearly 20 years because of local landowner opposition. The purchase of Rayne\u27s farm five years ago by Richmond businessman Gary Nash will allow the project to proceed, starting with the erection of a fowl fence and the construction of a dam in an existing culvert.
