Dukes system

Limestone cave levels within the Dukes system in the Buchan district of East Gippsland in Victoria, southeastern Australia (Fig. 1) can be correlated with a series of three river terraces in the valley of the Buchan River (Webb et al., 1992). Both caves and terraces are thought to have developed in the Pleistocene, because uranium series dating of speleothems in this system gives ages of more than 350,000 years, and perhaps greater... 

Both the lowermost and uppermost epiphreatic passages in the Dukes system (Bevel A and Level C) contain extensive sediment deposits. These sediments were sampled for paleomagnetic analysis. 

Much of the Fairy and Royal Cave portions of the Dukes system consists of a flat-roofed epiphreatic passage at Level A (Fig. 4) the roof is a few meters above the level of the bed of Fairy Creek outside the cave. At one stage in its history this passage was almost completely filled with bedded fluvial sediments. Subsequently, the stream flowing through the cave has removed most of the sediment fill, although remnants are present in many places. Flowstone has covered much of this remaming sediment, but banks of unconsolidated material are exposed in the walls of the cave at several sites. 

The Kinemage Supplement, produced by Jane Richardson at Duke University, is available from the publisher as a complement to this book for readers with access to a personal computer. The system is easy to use and provides interactive three-dimensional viewing of many of the structures discussed in various chapters. 

Mino and Kaizerman [12] established that certain. ceric salts such as the nitrate and sulphate form very effective redox systems in the presence of organic reducing agents such as alcohols, thiols, glycols, aldehyde, and amines. Duke and coworkers [14,15] suggested the formation of an intermediate complex between the substrate and ceric ion, which subsequently is disproportionate to a free radical species. Evidence of complex formation between Ce(IV) and cellulose has been studied by several investigators [16-19]. Using alcohol the reaction can be written as follows ... 

Far less effort has been directed at organic solid-state spectra than at organo-metallics and coordination complexes. Much of the work on organic systems was done by Walter Gordy and his students at Duke University in the 1960s and 1970s. We review a couple of these experiments here. More information is available in Gordy s book.30... 

Abstract To better understand the relation between form and function in the complex olfactory communication system of the ringtailed lemur (Lemur catta), we integrated observational, experimental, and chemical approaches applied to a population of semi free-ranging animals at the Duke Lemur Center in Durham, North Carolina. Our aim was to examine sex-role reversal in the expression and function of scent marking and unravel the contribution of multimodal components of information transfer, with the unifying framework for all three avenues of our research being that multiplicity of form implies multiplicity of function.

Secondly, we studied the oxidation of oxalate by cerium(IV) in sulfuric acid. This reaction is analagous to the classical manganese (111) oxalate reaction studied by H. Taube and also by F. Duke. Indeed, it proceeds through an intermediate containing one or more oxalates per cerium. This decomposes to give cerium(III) and other products. The point I want to raise is that we have been able to detect free radicals in this reaction, using EPR experiments and a flow system. So far, it has not been possible to say whether the radical is the oxalate or CO2 radical, both of which have been proposed in other studies.

Many papers report the fractionation of polystyrene latexes or mixtures thereof, as such commonly available spherical latex standards are an ideal system to test FFF setups or evaluations (for an example, see [362,401]). Recent coupling of Fl-FFF to MALLS enables a very high precision in particle size determinations. One example is shown in Fig. 31, where two Duke standard latex batches of a nominal size of 100 nm were investigated by Fl-FFF/M ALLS, underlining both separation power and resolution. Using traditional techniques such as photon correlation spectroscopy (PCS) and classic Fl-FFF detection, these samples seem to be identical. However, with Fl-FFF/MALLS, the batches could be separated as two discrete size distributions with a peak size that differed by 3 nm. However, it is not stated if a precise temperature control was maintained so that, critically considered, the observed differences could also have their origin in slight temperature...
