John Williams and George Kelly developed the Diethyl Zinc process while working for a venerable American institution in the 1970s and the 1980s. Their challenge arose from the fact that 97% of the institution’s assets were vulnerable to a particular threat. Each load is treated in a 50-hour sequence of steps in a low pressure chamber. The units are dried to a certain moisture content, the air is replaced with nitrogen, and gaseous Diethyl Zinc is admitted. The DEZ diffuses between the closed units, neutralizing acids, and reacting with the moisture left to form zinc oxide, which serves as an alkaline reserve. Aluminum in the units is converted to aluminum oxide, eliminating it as a potential future acid source. The treated material has a pH between 7.0 and 7.5, and the alkaline reserve is between 1% and 2% The zinc oxide also inhibits future fungal growth. No visible difference can be detected between treated and untreated units.  Either name the institution or identify the threat. 3*

Y is wrapped in a large silk handkerchief and the ends tied with a good rubber-band and kept on the servante while X is lifted, displayed and set right side up on the higher level of the table. The accessory Z is a distractor and so we won't pay it any attention. Much skill is required in inverting X so quickly as to obscure the simultaneous movement of Y into X. The only thing left to do now is to remove the rubber band. What are we talking about? 4*

  • 57. John Williams and George Kelly developed the Diethyl Zinc process while working for a venerable American institution in the 1970s and the 1980s. Their challenge arose from the fact that 97% of the institution’s assets were vulnerable to a particular threat. Each load is treated in a 50-hour sequence of steps in a low pressure chamber. The units are dried to a certain moisture content, the air is replaced with nitrogen, and gaseous Diethyl Zinc is admitted. The DEZ diffuses between the closed units, neutralizing acids, and reacting with the moisture left to form zinc oxide, which serves as an alkaline reserve. Aluminum in the units is converted to aluminum oxide, eliminating it as a potential future acid source. The treated material has a pH between 7.0 and 7.5, and the alkaline reserve is between 1% and 2% The zinc oxide also inhibits future fungal growth. No visible difference can be detected between treated and untreated units. Either name the institution or identify the threat. 3*

The accessory Z is a distractor and so we won't pay it any attention. Much skill is required in inverting X so quickly as to obscure the simultaneous movement of Y into X. The only thing left to do now is to remove the rubber band. What are we talking about? 4*
