    © 2013 Brian A. Rosen LOW TEMPERATURE ELECTROCATALYTIC REDUCTION OF CARBON DIOXIDE UTILIZING ROOM TEMPERATURE IONIC LIQUIDS BY BRIAN A. ROSEN DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Chemical Engineering in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2013 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Paul J.A. Kenis, Chair Professor Richard I. Masel, Retired Assistant Professor Brendan Harley Professor Dana Dlott ABSTRACT Artificial photosynthesis, where one uses electricity from the sun, or wind, to convert water and carbon dioxide into a hydrocarbon fuel could provide a viable route to renewable fuels but so far the results have been stymied because of the lack of a CO 2 conversion catalyst that operates at low overpotentials. In this study we report a catalyst system that shows CO 2 conversion at low overpotentials. The system uses two different catalysts to achieve the conversion. First an ionic liquid or ionic salt is used to catalyze − the formation of a “(CO 2) ” intermediate. Then a transition metal is used to catalyze the − conversion of the “(CO 2) ” intermediate into useful products. CO formation is first observed at -450mV with respect to a standard hydrogen electrode (SHE), compared to -800mV in the absence of the ionic liquid. Thus, CO2 conversion to CO can occur without the large energy loss associated with a high overpotential, raising the possibility of practical artificial photosynthesis. The reduction of CO 2 in 1-ethyl-3- methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (EMIM BF 4) was studied in an H-type electrochemical cell, an in-situ SFG cell, in and in an EXAFS cell.

This thesis studies the rise of violence in SLO, its causation, and effects. The vigilance committee of 1858 represents the culmination of the violence that came from sweeping changes in the region, stemming from its earliest conquest by the Spanish. The mounting violence built upon itself as extensive changes took place. These changes include the conquest of California, from the Spanish mission period, Mexican and Alvarado revolutions, Mexican-American War, and the Gold Rush. The history of the county is explored until 1863 to garner an understanding of the borderlands violence therein. v TABLE OF CONTENTS Page CHAPTER INTRODUCTION…………………………………………………………... 1 PART I - CAUSATION…………………………………………………… 12 HISTORIOGRAPHY……………………………………………........ 12 BEFORE CONQUEST………………………………………..…….. 21 WAR……………………………………………………………..……. 36 GOLD RUSH……………………………………………………..….. 42 LACK OF LAW…………………………………………………….…. 45 RACIAL DISTRUST………………………………………………..... 50 OUTSIDE INFLUENCE………………………………………………58 LOCAL CRIME………………………………………………………..67 CONCLUSION……………………………………………………….

Fanning I’m not sure, but I believe I first met Phil Carrigan in person at a PAN show perhaps 15 years ago. But Phil would have been among my earliest customers after I returned to the hobby in 1999. Phil was an assidu- ous collector of American numismatic auction catalogues, and since the early U.S. catalogues were my first love in the area of numismatic litera- ture, we had plenty in common. We both enjoyed studying the history of the hobby, especially the hobby of the 19th and early 20th centuries, and felt that the auction catalogues played a major role in telling that story. We also shared the conviction that the story couldn’t really be told if one just focused on the major dealers or the landmark sales: the full story included the third-tier dealers and the forgettable sales as well as the Woodwards and Chapmans, the Mickleys and Stickneys. We had other things in common. We both lived in the Mid- west (though he was imported from Boston), and both had Ph.D.s (though his, in pharmacokinetics, sounded a lot more impressive than mine in English).

  • Irving Fisher and His Compensated Dollar Plan
    Irving Fisher and His Compensated Dollar Plan Don Patinkin his is a story that illustrates the interrelationship between economic his- tory and economic thought: more precisely, between monetary history T and monetary thought. So let me begin with a very brief discussion of the relevant history. In 1879, the United States returned to the gold standard from which it had departed at the time of the Civil War. This took place in a period in which “a combination of events, including a slowing of the rate of increase of the world’s stock of gold, the adoption of the gold standard by a widening circle of countries, and a rapid increase in aggregate economic output, produced a secular decline ˙.. in the world price level measured in gold˙...” (Friedman and Schwartz 1963, p. 91; for further details, see Friedman 1990, and Laidler 1991, pp. 49–50). The specific situation thus generated in the United States was de- scribed by Irving Fisher (1913c, p. 27) in the following words: “For a quarter of a century—from 1873 to 1896—the dollar increased in purchasing power and caused a prolonged depression of trade, culminating in the political upheaval which led to the free silver campaign of 1896, when the remedy proposed was worse than the disease.” This was, of course, the campaign which climaxed with William J. Bryan’s famous “cross of gold” speech in the presidential election of 1896. Fisher’s view of this campaign reflected the fact that it called for the unlimited coinage of silver at a mint price far higher than its market value, a policy that would have led to a tremendous increase in the quantity of money and the consequent generation of strong inflationary pressures.

TO THE FEW Reminiscences of a ranger; or, Early times in southern California. By Major Horace Bell http://www.loc.gov/resource/calbk.103 SURVIVING MEMBERS OF THE LOS ANGELES RANGERS, AND TO THE MEMORY OF THOSE WHO HAVE ANSWERED TO THE LAST ROLL-CALL, THIS HUMBLE TRIBUTE IS AFFECTIONATELY DEDICATED BY THE AUTHOR. PREFACE. No country or section during the first decade following the conquest of California, has been more prolific of adventure than our own bright and beautiful land; and to rescue from threatened oblivion the incidents herein related, and either occurring under the personal observation of the author, or related to him on the ground by the actors therein, and to give place on the page of history to the names of brave and worthy men who figured in the stirring events of the times referred to, as well as to portray pioneer life as it then existed, not only among the American pioneers, but also the California Spaniards, the author sends forth his book of Reminiscences, trusting that its many imperfections may be charitably scrutinized by a criticising public, and that the honesty of purpose with which it is written will be duly appreciated.

NEWMARK Every generation enjoys the use of a vast hoard bequeathed to it by antiquity, and transmits that hoard, augmented by fresh acquisitions, to future ages.

NEWMARK v TO THE MEMORY OF MY WIFE v In Memoriam At the hour of high twelve on April the fourth, 1916, the sun shone into a room where lay the temporal abode, for eighty-one years and more, of the spirit of Harris Newmark. On his face still lingered that look of peace which betokens a life worthily used and gently relinquished. Many were the duties allotted him in his pilgrimage splendidly did he accomplish them! Providence permitted him the completion of his final task—a labor of love—but denied him the privilege of seeing it given to the community of his adoption. To him and to her, by whose side he sleeps, may it be both monument and epitaph. Thy will be done! M.

This is the fourth of the series and covers Josephine County in southwestern Oregon, As originally planned, Bulletin 14-C, Vol, 2 would have covered both Jackson and Josephine Counties . Such a volume, however, would have contained some 400 pages, so it seemed best to divide Vol. 2 into two sections to expedite the issue and to reduce the size, 3ection 2 of Vol. 2, covering Jackson County, is now in manuscript form and will be issued as early as possible in 194J. Much of Josephine County is commonly regarded as being mineralized. Con­ sequently many mining claims have been staked and operations have been started in many parts of the county during the years since the 50 1 s. Some claims were never developed; some, carrying ~ell-known old mine names, were active for var­ ious lengths of time; and a considerable number are still active. It has been a five-year task to compile this comprehensive record of Jos­ ephine County
