Notes on the Life and Times of a Caterpillar

You\u27re probably wondering why I\u27m sitting here talking to you now. Truth is, I want to tell you all about myself. My entomologist acquaintances call me Malacosoma disstria Hubner. The fact that everyone else calls me a forest tent caterpillar is sort of misleading, because I don\u27t make silk tents like some of my equally illustrious cousins do. I would like to tell you about some of the natural advantages and disadvantages I have in maintaining myself in my niche here on the earth

Hymn for 50th Anniversary by Rev. Stephen M. Tuhy

For the celebration of St. Luke\u27s 50th ( Golden ) Anniversary on May 27, 1962 1962, the congregation\u27s multi-talented pastor, Rev. Stephen M. Tuhy, composed a special hymn to be used at the festive worship service. The lyrics had been written by William M. Czmanske almost 30 years earlier for another unknown occasion. But the music (he titled the TUNE St. Luke\u27s ) was composed by Pastor Tuhy, himself. Only a discolored mimeographed copy of the score survived in the church archive

Mass transfer of urea, creatinine and vitamin B-12 in a microchannel based membrane separation unit

Micro energy and chemical systems (MECS) are microfluidic systems where energy and chemical processes can be intensified by decreasing the characteristic length. This project focused on bulk fluid processing using MECS technology to intensify the mass transport of a dialyzer. The objective of this project was to design a model from first principals that could function as a design tool for a microchannel based membrane separation unit. The device was composed of two parallel arrays of microchannels separated by a 20 µm membrane. Experimental data was collected for three separate microchannel devices and three solutes: urea, creatinine, and vitamin B-12. The channel depth and width for the two primary devices tested were 100 µm and 200 µm respectively. Multiple parameters were tested these included the fluid velocity in the channels, an imposed a pressure offset, and a reduced flow rate on one side of the membrane. A 3-D model was derived using the Naiver-Stokes equations for transport in the channels and Darcy's law for transport across the membrane. The scaler transport of the solutes was modeled using the convection diffusion equation and was decoupled from the momentum transport since all concentrations were assumed dilute. The semi-implicit method for pressure-linked equations (SIMPLE) was used to couple momentum and pressure equations. The model was solved using MATLAB. The model results were in good agreement with the experimental data and had a maximum difference of about 10%

The Influence of pH of Extracting Water on the Composition of Seaweed Extracts and Their Beneficial Properties on Lepidium sativum

Baltic seaweeds were used to obtain aqueous extracts (E) through changing initial pH of deionised water added to algal biomass (EpH3⋅H 2 O, EpH7⋅H 2 O, and EpH10⋅H 2 O) and through changing pH of the mixture of algae and deionised water (EpH3, EpH7, and EpH10). Algal extracts were characterized in terms of the concentration of polyphenols and micro-and macroelements. The highest concentration of polyphenols was determined in extract EpH3 and the lowest in extract EpH10⋅H 2 O. It was found that the obtained extracts had similar concentrations of elements (except EpH3). The phytotoxicity of algal extracts (0.5, 2.5, and 10%) was examined in the germination tests on Lepidium sativum. No phytotoxic effects were observed. It was found that they had beneficial effects on the cultivated plants (length and weight). The best biostimulant effect was observed in the groups treated with EpH3 (2.5%), EpH7 (2.5%), and EpH7 (10%). The dry weight of plants was similar in all the groups. Algal extract also improved the multielemental composition of plant. The greatest concentration of total chlorophyll in plants was obtained by using extract EpH10⋅H 2 O, 0.5%. These results proved that algal extracts have high potential to be applied in cultivation of plants

Record From Official Church Ledger: Confirmands, May 19, 1940

This page from the official ledger kept by Rev. Stephen M. Tuhy is a record of the confirmands in the first Confirmation Class and ceremony in the new brick church. May 19, 1940. Note that the records were still kept in the Slovak language at this point in the history of the congregation.
