Abstract:

Research at the University of Utah under ONR contract covering the period March 1975 - February 1979 includes 1 Results of ultrasonic absorption kinetics studies of macrocyclic ligands crown ethers and cyclodextrins in aqueous salt solutions and application of these results to a scheme for separating radioactive cesium and strontium from nuclear reactor wastes 2 An unsuccessful laser flash photolysis study of bovine rhodospin 3 The evolution of hydrogen gas from a visibly illuminated, water bathed, titanium III exchanged zeolite and the construction of a photoacoustic spectroscopy apparatus for determining the action spectrum of this material. Three recommendations for further work are outlined. The report concludes with a list of sixteen publications acknowledging ONR support.
