EPR MEASUREMENTS ON EGGSHELL SO JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL AND FOOD CHEMISTRY LA English DT Article ID ELECTRON-SPIN-RESONANCE; IRRADIATED FRUITS; RESPONSE FUNCTION; IDENTIFICATION; SPECTROSCOPY; SPICES AB Fresh whole eggs were treated with ionizing radiation for Salmonellae control testing. The eggshell was then removed and examined by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy to determine if EPR could be used to (1) distinguish irradiated from unirradiated eggs and (2) assess the absorbed dose. No EPR signals were detected in unirradiated eggs, while strong signals were measurable for more than 200 days after irradiation. Although a number of EPR signals were measured, the most intense resonance (g = 2.0019) was used for dosimetry throughout the study. This signal was observed to increase linearly with dose (up to approximately 6 kGy), which decayed approximately 20 % within the first 5 days after irradiation and remained relatively constant thereafter. The standard added-dose method was used to assess, retrospectively, the dose to eggs processed at 0.2, 0.7, and 1.4 kGy. Relatively good results were obtained when measurement was made on the day the shell was reirradiated; with this procedure estimates were better for shell processed at the lower doses.

This paper presents the results of an intercomparison of current operational height assignment techniques. Currently, heights are assigned by one of three techniques when the appropriate spectral radiance measurements are available. The infrared window (IRW) technique compares measured brightness temperatures to forecast temperature profiles and thus infers opaque cloud levels. In semitransparent or small subpixel clouds, the carbon dioxide (CO2) technique uses the ratio of radiances from different layers of the atmosphere to infer the correct cloud height. In the water vapor (H2O) technique, radiances influenced by upper-tropospheric moisture and IRW radiances are measured for several pixels viewing different cloud amounts, and their linear relationship is used to extrapolate the correct cloud height. The results presented in this paper suggest that the H2O technique is a viable alternative to the CO2 technique for inferring the heights of semitransparent cloud elements. This is important since future National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) operations will have to rely on H2O-derived cloud-height assignments in the wind field determinations with the next operational geostationary satellite. On a given day, the heights from the two approaches compare to within 60-1 10 hPa rms; drier atmospheric conditions tend to reduce the effectiveness of the H2O technique. By inference one can conclude that the present height algorithms used operationally at NESDIS (with the CO2 technique) and at the European Satellite Operations Center (ESOC) (with their version of the H2O technique) are providing similar results. Sample wind fields produced with the ESOC and NESDIS algorithms using Meteosat-4 data show good agreement. C1 UNIV WISCONSIN,NOAA,NESDIS,1225 W DAYTON ST,MADISON,WI 53706.

An electrical characterization of the corona triode is also reported to show how it may be operated in the constant-current mode. Samples poled without electrode on the corona-exposed surface show polarization distributions sensitive to the corona polarity, with polarization depletion on the corona side of the samples when the corona is positive. Polarization-reversal experiments show switching inhomogeneities with a pronounced dependence on the initial corona polarity. The above observations are consistent with a simple model in which positive charges from the positive corona partially penetrate the sample during poling and cause an inhomogeneous reduction of the poling field.

Combined measurements, in such a blend, of the internal electric field E(i), the pyroelectric coefficient C(pyro), and the polarization distribution after electrically poling and subsequently thermally aging for 2 h intervals at temperatures up to 120-degrees-C are reported. E(i) and C(pyro) increase with increasing poling field E(p). E(i) was found to be as large as three times E(p). An unexpected thermal stability of E(i) was observed at annealing temperatures above the glass transition temperature of 60-degrees-C up to 100-degrees-C when significant loss of C(pyro) was measured. Thermal pulse results yield polarization distributions that may be attributed in part to dipolar polarization and in part to space charge. The prolonged thermal stability of E(i) is ascribed to space charge that does not contribute to C(pyro). The poled blend shows second-harmonic generation with a nonlinear coefficient d33 of around 1 pm/V (9 X 10(-9) esu). C1 NATL INST STAND & TECHNOL,DIV POLYMERS,GAITHERSBURG,MD 20899.

The spectral invariants gamma1 and alpha1, proportional, respectively, to the zeroth and first spectral moments, due to bimolecular collisions between CH4 and N2 were obtained from these data and compared with theoretical values. The theory for collision-induced dipoles between a tetrahedral and a diatomic or symmetrical linear molecule includes contributions not previously considered. Whereas the theoretical values of gamma1 are only somewhat greater than experiment at all temperatures, including those obtained from the data of Dagg et al, the theoretical values of alpha1 are significantly lower than the experimental values. From the theoretical spectral moments for the various induced dipole components, the parameters of the BC shape were computed and theoretical spectra were constructed. Good agreement was obtained at the lower frequencies, but with increasing frequencies the theoretical spectra were increasingly less intense than the experimental spectra. Although the accuracy of the theoretical results may suffer from the lack of a reliable potential function, it does not appear that this high frequency discrepancy (also reflected in alpha1) can be removed by any conceivable modification in the potential.

Results are based on empirical orthogonal function analysis of four components of the climate system: sea surface temperature (SST), air temperature, wind, and sea level pressure. An important mode of variability of the wintertime surface climate over the North Atlantic during this century is characterized by a dipole pattern in SSTs and surface air temperatures, with anomalies of one sip east of Newfoundland, and anomalies of the opposite polarity off the southeast coast of the United States. Wind fluctuations occur locally over the regions of large surface temperature anomalies, with stronger-than-normal winds overlying cooler-than-normal SSTs. This mode exhibits variability on quasi-decadal and biennial time scales. The decadal fluctuations are irregular in length, averaging approximately 9 years before 1945 and approximately 12 years afterward. There does not appear to be any difference between the wind-SST relationships on the different time scales. The decadal fluctuations in SSTs east of Newfoundland are closely linked to decadal variations in sea ice in the Labrador Sea, with periods of greater than normal sea ice extent preceding by approximately 2 years periods of colder-than-normal SSTs east of Newfoundland. Another dominant mode of variability is associated with the global surface warming trend during the 1920s and 1930s. The patterns of SST and air temperature change between 1900-29 and 1939-68 indicate that the warming was concentrated along the Gulf Stream east of Cape Hatteras. Warming also occurred over the Greenland Sea and the eastern subtropical Atlantic. The warming trend was accompanied by a decrease in the strength of the basin-scale atmospheric circulation (negative phase of the North Atlantic Oscillation). In marked contrast to the dipole pattern, the wind changes occurred downstream of the largest SST anomalies; hence, the gradual surface warming along the Gulf Stream may have been a result of altered ocean currents rather than local wind forcing.

It is found that the step motion with respect to a stagnant solution provides stabilization at sufficiently large wavelengths for which the typical diffusion rate is comparable to the rate of incorporation of the crystallizing species at the steps, i.e., to the kinetic coefficient. Since capillarity can stabilize the interface against short wavelength perturbations, the combined action of both kinetic anisotropy and capillarity provides complete linear stability at sufficiently high growth rates.

Thus it is very important to acquire an understanding of particle transport processes in CVD reactors. This paper addresses this issue by presenting the results of a numerical simulation of particle dynamics in a rotating disk CVD reactor. The background flowfield calculation employs the full axisymmetric Navier-Stokes equations, while individual particle trajectories are computed by accounting for inertial, thermophoretic and gravitational effects. The results of this simulation are analyzed to determine under what conditions particles greater than 1 mum in diameter impact and thus contaminate the deposition substrate. It is shown that particle size and injection location as well as flow direction (with or against gravity) and disk characteristics (temperature and rotation rate) all play important roles here. The results for various parameter combinations are presented and discussed, as is the concept of a global type of particle contamination parameter.

The Rutherford backscattering measurements on the annealed samples implanted at 200-degrees-C showed a crystal quality similar to that of the virgin material. The resistivity of all the samples after annealing was higher than 10(6) OMEGA-cm. C1 NATL INST STAND & TECHNOL, GAITHERSBURG, MD 20899 USA. BELLCORE, RED BANK, NJ 07701 USA.

In anaesthetised fish (N=5), heart rate averaged 112+/-21 beats min-1 (mean+/-S.E.) and stroke volume was 0.67+/-0.24 ml kg-1 when normoxic water flowed over the gills. Ventricular diastolic pressure was zero until atrial contraction filled the ventricle. Ventral aortic pressures were high (mean 12.08+/-1.15 kPa), and blood flow was continuous in the ventral aorta throughout diastole. Dorsal aortic pressure (mean 6.3+/-1.28 kPa; N=4) and flow were both pulsatile. Pressure pulsatility (pulse pressure as a proportion of mean pressure) was about one-quat-ter of flow pulsatility, indicating considerable compliance in the dorsal aortic circulation. Total peripheral resistance averaged 0.17+/-0.4 kPa ml-1 kg-1 min-1 of which gill resistance averaged 48+/-15 % (N=4). For the ventral aorta, impedance modulus fell markedly from the mean value and then declined more gradually towards zero with increasing harmonic frequencies. Impedance phase was negative (-0.8 to -1.1 rad) meaning that flow leads pressure at all harmonics. In swimming yellowfin tuna (N=5), heart rate averaged 108.8+/-12.1 beats min-1 and mean ventral and dorsal aortic pressures were 11.6+/-0.5 and 6.8+/-1.2 kPa, respectively, so gill resistance was 42% of total peripheral resistance. Average stroke volume in three swimming kawakawa was 0.54+/-0.2 ml kg-1 at a mean heart rate of 128+/-48 beats min-1. Data from swimming fish were within the range obtained from anaesthetised tuna. A simple model of the fish circulation consisting of two sets of compliant and resistive elements coupled in series (a second-order RC network) gave reasonable predictions of arterial pressure-flow relationships. Hence, we conclude that a 'Windkessel' dominates central cardiovascular dynamics of tuna despite heart rates and blood pressures that fall in the mammalian range.

Effects of initial conditions were studied by varying jet exit boundary conditions and the global density ratio. The exit velocity profile and turbulence level was changed by using both pipe and nozzle flow hardware. Initial density differences were imposed by using three gases: helium, methane, and propane. The scalar field (concentration) in the momentum-dominated regime of the far field (10 to 60 jet exit diameters downstream) of turbulent free jets was characterized using Rayleigh light scattering as the diagnostic. The results show that regardless of the initial conditions axisymmetric turbulent free jets decay at the same rate, spread at the same angle, and both the mean and r.m.s. values collapse in a form consistent with full self-preservation. The means and fluctuations follow a law of full self-preservation in which two virtual origins must be specified. The two displacements are required to account for the effects of a finite source of momentum and different development of the velocity and mass distributions in the near fields of the jets. The memory of the jet is embodied in these two virtual origins. C1 NATL INST STAND & TECHNOL,BLDG & FIRE RES LAB,GAITHERSBURG,MD 20899.

RISER CONFIGURATION SO JOURNAL OF HYDRAULIC ENGINEERING-ASCE LA English DT Article ID SUBMERGED WASTEFIELD; OCEAN OUTFALLS; PLUME; JETS AB The hydraulic model study to determine the diffuser design for the Boston Wastewater Outfall is described in two papers. The outfall is tunneled with a diffuser consisting of multiport risers, and in this paper the tests leading to the final choice of the riser configuration are described. The study was done in a large density-stratified towing tank. It was found that, for zero current speed with a deep thermocline, a thick, laterally homogeneous, submerged waste field was formed. For widely spaced risers, additional mixing in the plumes following collapse caused the minimum dilution to be higher than predicted by simple plume formulae. As the number of risers is decreased below about 50, the dilution decreases fairly rapidly, but increasing the number above about 50 caused the dilution to increase only slowly. The number of risers was chosen to be 55. This resulted in a savings of about $38,000,000 in construction costs compared to the preliminary design.

ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE SO JOURNAL OF HYDRAULIC ENGINEERING-ASCE LA English DT Article ID SUBMERGED WASTEFIELD; OCEAN OUTFALLS; PLUME AB Hydraulic model tests were done on the Boston Harbor out fall diffuser with the number of risers and their spacing maintained constant at their final design values. It was found that eight ports per riser resulted in higher dilutions than 12, because with 12 ports the plumes merged and collapsed to a single rising column. Extended duration tests showed that the waste field was stable, that its thickness increased very slowly with time, and that dilution decreased very slowly with time. The flux-average dilution was estimated from the movement of dye streaks to be only 1.1-1.2 times higher than the minimum dilution, a much smaller ratio than usually assumed. The mathematical model ULINE was found to be generally conservative in predicting dilution. Better predictions were obtained with a new mathematical model RSB, which well simulated the observed waste-field characteristics for the final design. The effect of varying the number of risers was not so well predicted by RSB, however, due to the very large effective port spacing for this diffuser. Thus, hydraulic model tests are still needed for atypical diffuser designs, such as encountered here. C1 US DEPT COMMERCE,NOAA,DIV ATMOSPHER SCI,FLUID MODELING BRANCH,RES TRIANGLE PK,NC 27711.

In addition to the observed wavelength values, wavelengths calculated from wavenumber differences of the levels are given for all observed lines and for more than 200 predicted lines that have not yet been observed. The calculated wavelengths are generally more accurate than the observed values, the most accurate calculated values (uncertainties 0.0005 to 0.0020 angstrom) being in some cases more accurate than the observed wavelengths by up to an order of magnitude.

The PVF2/PEA weight ratios were 0-5/99.5, 5/95, and 15/85. Isothermal crystallization upon cooling the blends from the single-phase liquid region was carried out in the range 135-155-degrees-C, in which the polymer crystallizes in the alpha-orthorhombic unit cell form. The 0.5/99.5 blend yielded multilayered and planar lamellar crystals. The lamellae formed at low undercoolings were lozenge shaped and bounded laterally by {110} faces. This habit is prototypical of the dendritic lateral habits exhibited by the crystals grown from the same blend at high undercoolings as well as by the constituent lamellae in the incipient spherulitic aggregates and banded spherulites that formed from the 5/95 and the 15/85 blends, respectively. In contrast with the planar crystals grown from the 0.5/99.5 blend, the formation of the aggregates grown from the 5/95 blend is governed by a conformationally complex motif of dendritic lamellar growth and proliferation. The development of these aggregates is characterized by the twisting of the orientation of lamellae about their preferential b-axis direction of growth, coupled with a fan-like splaying or spreading of lamellae about that axis. The radial growth in the banded spherulites formed from the 15/85 blend is governed by a radially periodic repetition of a similar lamellar twisting/fan-like spreading growth motif whose recurrence corresponds to the extinction band spacing. This motif differs in its fan-like splaying component from banding due to just a helicoidal twisting of lamellae about the radial direction. (C) 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Res. Natl. Inst. Stand. Technol. 98, 561 (1993)] for Ti-Al-Nb alloys cooled from the high temperature BCC/B2 phase field into close-packed orthorhombic or hexagonal phase fields. These predictions were based on structural and symmetry relations between the known phases. In the present paper experimental TEM results show that two of the predicted transformation paths are indeed followed for different alloy compositions. For Ti-25Al-12.5Nb (at%), the path includes the formation of intermediate hexagonal phases, A3 and DO19, and subsequent formation of a metastable domain structure of the low-temperature 0 phase. For alloys close to Ti-25A]-25Nb (at%), the path involves an intermediate B19 structure and subsequent formation of a translational domain structure of the O phase. The path selection depends on whether B2 order forms in the high temperature cubic phase prior to transformation to the close-packed structure. The paper also analyzes the formation of a two-phase modulated microstructure during long term annealing at 700-degrees-C. The structure forms by congruent ordering of the DO19 phase to the 0 phase, and then reprecipitation of the DO19 phase, possibly by a spinodal mechanism. The thermodynamics underlying the path selection and the two-phase formation are also discussed.

BASIC FRACTURE-MECHANICS SO JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN CERAMIC SOCIETY LA English DT Article ID SHARP CONTACT CRACKING; RESISTANCE MECHANISM; GRAIN-SIZE; ALUMINA; STRENGTH; GROWTH AB A fracture mechanics model is presented for the toughening of ceramics by bridging from second-phase particles, resulting in toughness curve (T-curve) behavior. It is assumed that the second-phase particles are in a state of residual thermal expansion dilatational mismatch relative to the matrix. In the long-crack region, these stresses augment frictional sliding stresses at the interphase boundaries, enhancing the crack resistance; in the short-crack region, the same stresses drive the crack, diminishing the crack resistance. The principal manifestation of these countervailing influences is a reduced sensitivity of strength to initial flaw size, i.e., an increased flaw tolerance. In seeking to incorporate these key physical elements, our model opts for mathematical simplicity by assuming uniformly distributed stresses in two bridging domains: in the first, at small crack-wall separations, a constant opening stress; in the second, at larger separations, a constant closing stress. The uniform crack-plane distributions allow for simple closed-form solutions of the crack K-field equations, and thence an analytical formulation for the T-curve. Indentation-strength data on a ''reference'' Al2O3/Al2TiO5 ceramic composite are used to demonstrate the main theoretical predictions and to calibrate essential parameters in the T-curve formulation. The utility of the model as a route to microstructural design is addressed in Part II. RP LAWN, BR (reprint author), NATL INST STAND & TECHNOL,DIV CERAM,MAT SCI & ENGN LAB,GAITHERSBURG,MD 20899, USA.

MICROSTRUCTURAL VARIABLES SO JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN CERAMIC SOCIETY LA English DT Article ID STRAIN-SOFTENING MATERIAL; DELAYED FRACTURE; GRAIN-SIZE; CRACK; ALUMINA; FLAWS AB The fracture mechanics analysis of Part I is here extended to consider the effects of volume fraction and scale of second-phase particles on the toughness-curve properties of ceramic-matrix composites. Increasing these variables enhances the flaw tolerance of the material, but only up to certain limits, beyond which bulk microcracking occurs. These limits define domains of damage accumulation and potential strength degradation by microcrack coalescence. In the familiar approximation of elliptical crack-wall profiles, we show that the principal effects of increasing volume fraction (or expansion mismatch) and particle size is to enhance the slope and scale of the T-curve, respectively. We also derive expressions for the microcracking limits and use these expressions to construct a simple design diagram for characterizing the effects of microstructural variation on mechanical behavior. Indentation-strength data on Al2O3/Al2TiO5 composites over a range of volume fractions and particles sizes are used to demonstrate the severe loss in mechanical integrity that can be suffered on entering the microcracking domains.

Specifically, two microstructural parameters which influence grain-localized crack bridging, viz., (i) internal residual stresses and (ii) microstructural coarseness, have been investigated. Particulate aluminum titanate was added to alumina to induce intense internal residual stresses from extreme thermal expansion mismatch. It was found that A-AT composites with uniformly distributed 20-30 vol% aluminum titanate (''duplex'') showed significantly improved flaw tolerance over single-phase alumina. Coarsening of the duplex microstructure via grain growth scaling was relatively ineffective in improving the flaw tolerance further. Onset of spontaneous microcracking precluded further exploitation of this scaling approach. Therefore, an alternative approach to coarsening was developed, in which a uniform distribution of large alumina grains was incorporated within a fine-grain A-AT matrix (''duplex-bimodal''), via a powder processing route. The duplex-bimodal composites yielded excellent flaw tolerance with steady-state toughness of almost-equal-to 8 MPa.m1/2. A qualitative model for microstructure development in these duplex-bimodal composites is presented. C1 LEHIGH UNIV,DEPT MAT SCI & ENGN,BETHLEHEM,PA 18015.

In this experiment, the seasonally varying, climatological sea surface temperature was prescribed throughout the world oceans. The principal modes of variability in the model experiment were identified by applying a rotated empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis to the Northern Hemisphere monthly averaged 515-mb geopotential height for the winter season (November through March). The individual leading spatial modes are similar to the observed north-south dipoles over the North Atlantic and North Pacific, as well as wavelike patterns in the Pacific/North American and Northern Asian sectors. Quasigeostrophic geopotential tendencies forced by synoptic-scale (2.5-6 day) eddy vorticity and heat fluxes were computed for those months when the individual EOF modes are particularly active. The composite patterns of the eddy-induced tendencies were compared with the corresponding monthly mean anomaly patterns. It is seen that the forcing due to eddy vorticity transports exhibits a distinctive barotropic character, and reinforces the monthly averaged geopotential height anomalies throughout the tropospheric column. On the other hand, the eddy heat fluxes lead to dissipation of the monthly mean height anomalies in the upper troposphere, and enhancement of the height anomalies in the lower troposphere. Hence, the eddy heat fluxes exert a strong impact on the baroclinic component of the circulation by destroying the concurrent local monthly mean temperature and geopotential thickness anomalies. The above relationships based on model data are in agreement with the corresponding observational results. A linear stationary wave model was then used to mimic the individual EOF modes appearing in the GCM experiment, and to diagnose the relative importance of different types of forcing in the generation of such modes. As suggested by the tendency calculations, the transient eddy forcing due to heat fluxes was parameterized as a thermal diffusion mechanism in the stationary wave model. When the model was linearized about the climatological zonally averaged basic state, it failed to reproduce the EOF patterns appearing in the GCM experiment. However, when the same model was linearized about the zonally varying GCM climatology, the response to the total forcing (which includes vorticity fluxes by eddies on submonthly time scales, diabatic heating, and nonlinearity in those months when the individual EOF modes are active) bears a considerable resemblance to the corresponding anomaly patterns in the GCM. By evaluating the individual contributions of each of the three forcing mechanisms to the total linear model solution, it is concluded that the transient eddy vorticity fluxes exert the strongest influences. The response to nonlinear effects is negligible, while the forcing due to diabatic heating is weak and acts in opposition to the anomaly patterns in the upper troposphere. The forcing associated with vorticity fluxes by synoptic-scale transient eddies accounts for approximately half of the total vorticity forcing due to all submonthly fluctuations. Both the tendency calculations and the stationary wave model results indicate the crucial role of vorticity transports by transient eddies. The linear model solutions also illustrate the importance of incorporating the climatological stationary waves in the basic state. These findings hence suggest that the' monthly mean anomalies in this GCM experiment are intimately linked to barotropic interactions between transient fluctuations of different time scales, and between the monthly mean anomalies and the climatological stationary waves.

All investigations are based on the null hypothesis that the statistical distribution of circulation patterns in the phase space is a multinormal distribution. If this is a good approximation (as it was shown in a phase-average sense in earlier studies) and the assumed independent variables have equal variance, then the theoretical distribution of circulation patterns can be uniquely described by the (climatological) mean, a single standard deviation, and the number of independent variables (dimension). Having the estimates of all these variables, the local density of the actual circulation data can be easily compared to the theoretical expectation of a multinormal distribution. With randomly generated multinormal samples the significance of such discrepancies can also be tested. The results at the 1% significance level show that out of the 273 circulation maps investigated in the phase space there are 28 (15) that have a higher(lower) local density than that expected from a multinormal distribution. Moreover, the high number of local discrepancies is a statistically clear indication that the circulation data sample cannot come from a symmetric, fully multinormal distribution (global significance). The positive deviation from normal density properties in certain areas of the phase space (preferred maps) is offset by opposite sign deviations in other areas (unpreferred maps), ensuring multinormality only in a phase-average sense. This is clear evidence for the existence of multiple flow regimes in the hemispheric circulation. As to the second question, the preferred and unpreferred circulation maps were found to cluster around 6 and 5 distinct areas of the phase space, respectively. The average of the preferred or unpreferred circulation maps for each cluster was interpreted as an estimate of local density maximum or minimum areas in the phase space. Large changes in the database and the statistical methods made little change in the estimates (especially for local maxima). The advantages and innovations of the above analysis were the following. 1) The phase space was studied in its full dimensionality. 2) Based on the appropriate null hypothesis (multinormality), the results were presented with a clear determination of statistical significance. 3) Due to the statistically significant results of the local density analysis, the possibility of a physical interpretation of clustering results (preferred circulation types) is guaranteed. A relationship between local maximum points and various boundary conditions is suspected. 4) Lacunar areas or unpreferred types that are theoretically as interesting as the preferred ones have been identified for the first time in the circulation phase space.

Emphasis is placed on investigating the structural and chemical characteristics of the UV/ozone-induced oxide. Negative ion mass spectra obtained from passivated and UV/ozone-treated GaAs surfaces showed the presence of an arsenic-oxide-rich top layer with traces of S. Shallow depth profiling through the topmost layers indicated the presence of a gallium-oxide-rich layer under the arsenic-oxide-rich layer in samples exposed to UV/ozone for 15 min or longer. The gallium-oxide-rich layer also contained traces of S. The growth of the gallium-oxide-rich region is directly related to the time spent in the UV/ozone oxidation step.

Measurements of standard length, girth and body mass were recorded from 47 female and 49 male dolphins, some captured as many as nine times. Ages were known from approximate birth dates or estimated from counts of dentinal growth layers. In all three measurements, females grew at a faster initial rate than males, but reached asymptotic size at an earlier age. This extended period of growth in males resulted in significant sexual dimorphism in length, girth and mass at physical maturity. The growth of both sexes was well described by three-parameter Gompertz models using either cross-sectional data or a mixture of longitudinal and cross-sectional data. There was considerable variation in size-at-age for both sexes in all year classes. Residuals of size measurements were used to derive measures of relative size for individual dolphins; most dolphins demonstrated little ontogenetic change in relative size. Body mass was adequately predicted by multiple regression equations that incorporated both length and girth as independent variables. C1 CHICAGO ZOOL SOC, BROOKFIELD, IL 60513 USA.

Two compositions were studied with C16TAB mole fractions of 0.55 and 0.92. Surface tension has been used to obtain a value of the interaction parameter, beta = -2.1 +/- 0.3, using regular solution theory. The surface excesses determined from reflection show that in both mixtures, the proportions Of C-12E6 and C16TAB in the adsorbed layer are similar to their proportions in mixed micelles of the bulk solutions calculated from the value of beta above. The adsorbed layer thickness was found to be constant within error and corresponds to a bilayer of mixed surfactant. C1 PHYS CHEM LAB,OXFORD OX1 3QZ,ENGLAND. SCH CHEM BRISTOL,BRISTOL BS8 1TS,ENGLAND.

The first and last surveys covered a 105 by 105 n mile study area centered on Elephant Island; the second and third surveys covered a 60 by 35 n mile area immediately north of Elephant Island. During the first survey, krill were distributed in a wide band extending along the north side of Elephant Island and wrapping around the western end; biomass was estimated to be 2.2 million metric tons (t). During the second survey, the highest densities of krill were over the shelf extending to the northwest from Elephant Island and including the Seal Island archipelago; high densities of krill also extended off the shelf from the northeast end of Elephant Island into deeper water. Biomass in the smaller survey area was estimated to be 0.7 million t. Three weeks later, high krill densities were still apparent in the vicinity of Seal Island, but the area of high density previously mapped off the northeast end of Elephant Island has diminished considerably; biomass was estimated to be 0.4 million t. During the final survey, conducted 6 wk after the first survey, krill were mapped in reduced densities primarily to the west of Elephant Island; biomass over the larger survey area had declined to 1.1 million t.

At this time Gloria was one of the most intense hurricanes ever observed in the Atlantic basin, with a minimum sea level pressure of 919 mb. The nested analyses, based on observations from airborne Doppler radar and Omega dropwindsondes, simultaneously describe eyewall and synoptic-scale features, and are the most comprehensive analyses of a single hurricane constructed to date. The analyses have been used to document the multiscale kinematic structure of Gloria and to investigate the relationship between the kinematic fields and the motion of the vortex. The analyses indicate that the vortex was unusually barotropic. The radius of maximum wind (RMW) was nearly vertical below 500 mb, with a slight inward slope with height between 750 and 550 mb. The strongest azimuthal mean tangential winds were found well above the boundary layer, near 550 mb, where the RMW was smallest. We speculate that this unusual structure was associated with a concentric eye cycle. A persistent asymmetry in the distribution of eyewall convection was associated with the vertical shear of the environmental flow. The vortex moved approximately 2.5 m s-1 faster than the deep layer mean flow averaged at 667-km radius from the center. Barotropic models have predicted a relationship between the relative motion of the vortex and the gradients of absolute vorticity in the cyclone's environment; however, the predicted relationship was not found for Gloria. The vortex also did not move with the mean flow in the immediate vicinity of the center; the motion of the hurricane was most consistent with the 300-850-mb layer mean flow well outside the eyewall, at a radius of 65 km. The analyses suggest that the environmental flow near the center had been distorted by eyewall convection, with the scale of the distortion determined by the local Rossby radius of deformation.

These drops, which give a distinct radar signature termed the ''differential reflectivity column,'' originate from 1) melted hydrometeors that fall from the back-sheared anvil, through the embryo curtain, and are recirculated into the storm updraft, and 2) in situ drop growth within the updraft. Some of the drops refreeze and likely produce frozen-drop hailstone embryos. Numerous hailstone trajectories are found to cross either through, or over, the drop column where the hailstones undergo a significant growth phase. Two separate hailstone fallout regions are identified. Some hailstones in the northern fallout region show anticyclonic trajectories and in situ updraft and column growth. Others grow while crossing the top of the vault. Hailstones in the southern region exhibit growth while passing cyclonically through the column or over the vault. A new method to determine hydrometeor fall speeds from radar polarization measurements for use with dual-Doppler analysis is introduced.

A deep layer of warm, moist, southwesterly flow overran a shallower layer of subfreezing, easterly flow ahead of a surface warm front. Precipitation at the surface changed from snowfall to ice pellets, to freezing rain, and, finally, to ordinary rain as an elevated layer of above-freezing air moved into the region and eventually extended to the ground. Measurements from a scanning Doppler radar, wind profilers, a microwave radiometer, and mobile rawinsondes provided detailed information on the storm's kinematic and thermodynamic structure and evolution, and allowed its basic microphysical structure to be inferred. The remote sensors detected signatures of the melting aloft that may be useful for improving detection and forecasts of freezing-rain hazards. C1 SUNY COLL BROCKPORT,BROCKPORT,NY 14420.

Because of this change, the National Meteorological Center (NMC) wanted to update the satellite temperature error statistics used in the NMC analyses. The authors, therefore, updated the estimates of observational error variances, horizontal covariances, and vertical correlations for layer mean temperatures retrieved from NOAA-10 satellite radiance data. The temperature error statistics have also been used to estimate analogous error statistics for isobaric height. The computations used radiosonde data as a substitute for true temperatures. Each ''matchup'' in the dataset consisted of a satellite retrieval close in space and time to a radiosonde sounding. The matchups were stratified into clear, partly cloudy, and cloudy cases, depending on the amount of cloud contamination in the satellite radiance data. In each of the nine mandatory pressure layers considered, from 1000-850 to 150-100 mb, the clear and partly cloudy matchup cases have nearly equal temperature error variances, while the variances for cloudy cases are substantially larger. Vertical error correlations for all three stratifications are similar. Root-mean-square height errors computed from satellite temperature errors are comparable to those computed from radiosonde errors in the clear and partly cloudy matchup cases, but larger in cloudy cases.

We find that the bending-induced changes in the effective indices depend strongly on core-cladding index contrast and the value of V. For waveguides with large contrast, the changes in effective indices are such that the change in the phase difference between the modes is positive (or negative) at large (or small) values of V. The change becomes zero at a V value that depends on the waveguide parameters and curvature. If the index contrast is small, the bending-induced phase difference may change sign with increase in curvature. This might help in ultimately explaining the bipolar phase shift seen in a recent experiment. The results of our study can be used to increase or decrease the bending sensitivity of dual-mode optical-waveguide sensors and devices. C1 INDIAN INST TECHNOL, DEPT PHYS, NEW DELHI 110016, INDIA.

The first photon, with energy omega1 = 0.4017 a.u., is resonant with the well-known Feshbach P-1(0) resonance below the H(n = 2) threshold. The second photon, with energy omega2 greater-than-or-equal-to 0.12605 a.u., scans the energy region above the H(n = 2) threshold over which long-range dipole-field-induced cross-section oscillations are predicted to occur. Such Gailitis-Damburg oscillations have not yet been observed experimentally. Results for various pairs of light polarization for the two photons are presented. Our resonant two-color, two-photon detachment cross sections are 8-9 orders of magnitude greater than the corresponding nonresonant, single-color, two-photon detachment cross sections obtained by Liu, Du, and Starace [Phys. Rev. A 43, 5891 (1991)]. Unmistakable evidence of long-range dipole-field effects is presented over the 5-meV energy range above the H(n = 2) threshold. Furthermore, the differential cross sections for right- and left-circularly polarized, copropagating photons and especially the circular dichroism differential cross sections are shown to have nearly a full cycle of a greatly enhanced dipole-field-induced oscillation extending over the region from threshold to almost-equal-to 34 meV above.

From this solution, analytic formulas for the total rate of laser-atom scattering, the rate of coherent scattering, and radiative forces are derived. Interestingly, it is found that population inversion in true atomic states, as opposed to the population inversion in the dressed states, can occur under certain conditions. A method is proposed to take advantage of this inversion for light amplification. The mathematical formulation is built around the concept of the resolvent operator in Liouville space, with some conclusions that are generally applicable to any system with a unique steady state.

For fields oriented along the grain c axis, H-1 increases with decreasing temperature, showing an upturn below 50 K, whereas H-2 remains small and positive, in general agreement with the theory of Bean-Livingston surface barriers. H(c1) has a Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer temperature dependence above 50 K, but it rises at low temperatures. For fields oriented in the ab plane, H(c1) has a similar temperature dependence, but surface barriers are not evident in the magnetization.

Rev. B 45, 13117 (1992)] have determined the magnetic behavior expected for superlattices consisting of uniaxial antiferromagnets. They state that the resulting phase transitions in a real system cannot be observed by standard, bulk measurements of the magnetization. In fact, the predictions of their model can be explicitly tested using neutron-diffraction techniques, which have already been applied toward the study of antiferromagnetic NiO/CoO and Fe3O4/NiO superlattices.

This behavior is explained in terms of a simple model that shows that the Fermi surface of the spacer-layer material is responsible for the oscillatory coupling. The periods of the oscillatory coupling are set by extremal spanning vectors of the Fermi surface of the spacer-layer material. The strength of the coupling depends both on the geometry of the Fermi surface and on the reflection amplitudes for electrons scattering from the interfaces between the spacer layers and the magnetic layers. To test this and related models, the extremal spanning vectors and the associated Fermi-surface geometrical factors have been calculated for a large set of spacer-layer materials and interface orientations. These models are at least consistent with the experimental data. All measured oscillation periods are consistent with the calculated periods, but particularly for transition metals there are many more periods calculated than are seen experimentally.

Both use the equation of heat transfer recently improved to account for the large compressibility near the critical point. Previous work by others indicated that in one dimension the slowest mode of this equation relaxes at a rate four times faster than that predicted by the older, usual equation of heat transfer. However, this is not always true in higher dimensions. The first calculation demonstrates this for the cases of isobaric modes excited by temperature gradients in a rectangle and in a thin disk. For thin experimental cells with isothermal walls the slowest mode is accurately estimated by the usual heat-transfer equation. The second calculation indicates that gravity-induced stratification plays an insignificant role in determining the final relaxation rate. This is done by estimating the size of the v.delP term in the improved heat-transfer equation.

The formulation is described for a two-dimensional system with a smooth crystal-melt interface and for a surface free energy that varies smoothly with orientation, in which case a quite general dependence of the surface free energy and kinetic coefficient on orientation can be treated; it is assumed that the anisotropy is mild enough that missing orientations do not occur. The method of matched asymptotic expansions is used to recover the appropriate anisotropic form of the Gibbs-Thomson equation in the sharp-interface limit in which the width of the diffuse interface is thin compared to its local radius of curvature. It is found that the surface free energy and the thickness of the diffuse interface have the same anisotropy, whereas the kinetic coefficient has an anisotropy characterized by the product of the interface thickness with the intrinsic mobility of the phase field.

By analyzing the energy-dependent autocorrelation function of the background in two ROSAT deep-pointing observations, we have statistically measured the spectrum of pointlike sources that are still embedded in the background. With this source spectrum, we have then decomposed the background into a pointlike source contribution characterized by a power law dI/dE almost-equal-to 9.5E(-0.7) keV s-1 cm-2 KeV-1 sr-1 and a diffuse contribution represented by a two-temperature plasma. In addition to the soft thermal component that arises primarily in the 10(6) K gas of the Local Bubble, a hard diffuse thermal component is present in the background spectrum, characterizing an important phase of the interstellar or intergalactic medium of a temperature 2-3 X 10(6) K.

Noise power spectra are presented to demonstrate that GD emission is primarily characterized by photon noise, although a drift noise component exists at extremely low frequencies. The photon noise character is important, since photon noise limited sources are expected to outperform source flicker noise limited sources in terms of measurement precision. The implementation of bandpass restriction and dual channel subtractive noise cancellation as possible means of improving measurement precision are also presented. In both cases, the improvements were found to be minimal, a fact attributed to the probable suitability of the GD for FT-AES.

Mean and maximum latitude of occurrence of the species were regressed against average surface- and bottom-water temperatures and indices of relative abundance from spring and autumn trawl surveys. Significant (P less-than-or-equal-to 0.05) regression models were fitted for 17 of 36 species from spring and fall survey data. Variations in water temperature were significant in explaining changes in mean latitude of occurrence for 12 of 36 species in both seasons. Maximum latitude distribution responses to interannual differences in water temperatures occurred for pelagic species, including Atlantic mackerel Scomber scombrus and Atlantic herring Clupea harengus, Weighted mean catches of these species shifted poleward by 0.5-0.8 degree of latitude for each 1-degrees-C increase in average water temperature. Statistically significant poleward range extensions, associated with warmer water temperatures, occurred for five species in spring surveys and four in fall surveys. Different responses among species to changing thermal regimes of the northwest Atlantic Shelf have important potential consequences for trophic dynamics and fisheries yields of the ecosystem. Species found to be sensitive in distribution to temperature change include primary prey species of some predators that show limited seasonal or annual changes in distribution. Changes in distributional overlaps between some predators and prey therefore are a likely result of shelf warming associated with climate change.

These include basin moisture storages, basin runoff, lake heat storage, lake evaporation, heat fluxes, and net lake supplies, one or more full months into the future. The package combines GLERL's rainfall-runoff and lake evaporation models with near real-time data reduction techniques to represent current system states. Users select historical meteorologic record segments as candidate future scenarios to generate deterministic near real-time hydrological outlooks. GLERL has extended the package to make probabilistic outlooks for a decision-maker who must estimate the risk associated with his decisions. GLERL matches National Weather Service meteorologic outlook probabilities by selecting groups of historical meteorologic sequences, and constructs embedded outlook intervals for each hydrologic variable of interest. Interval probabilities are assigned from comparisons over a recent evaluation period. This physically-based approach for generating outlooks offers the ability, as compared to other statistically-based approaches, to incorporate improvements in the understanding of process dynamics as they occur in the future and to respond reasonably to conditions initial to a forecast (such as heat and moisture storages), not observed in the past.

It involved meteorologists generating forecast environmental conditions associated with anticipated strong convection. Those conditions then were used to initialize the cloud model, which was run subsequently to forecast qualitative descriptions of storm type. Verification was done on both the sounding forecast and numerical model portions of the experiment. Of the 12 experiment days, the numerical model generated six good forecasts, two of which involved significant tornadic storms. More importantly, while demonstrating the potential for cloud-scale modeling in an operational environment, the experiment highlights some of the obstacles in the path of such an implementation.

The ensemble configuration provides 14 independent forecasts every day, verifying on days 1 through 10. The ensemble members are generated through a combination of time lagging [Lagged-Average Forecasting] and a new method, Breeding of Growing Modes (Toth and Kalnay). In adopting the ensemble approach, NMC explicitly recognizes that forecasts are stochastic, not deterministic, in nature. There is no single solution, only an array of possibilities, and forecast ensembles provide a rational basis for assessing the range and likelihood of alternative scenarios. Given the near saturation of computer resources at NMC, implementation of ensemble prediction required a trade-off between model resolution and multiple runs. Before 7 December 1992, NMC was producing a single global forecast through 10 days with the highest-resolution (T126) version possible of its medium-range forecast model. Now, based on experiments that showed no adverse impact upon the quality of forecasts, the T126 model run is truncated to T62 resolution beyond day 6. The computer savings are used to generate the balance of the ensemble members at the lower T62 resolution. While these complementary runs are, on the average, somewhat less skillful when considered individually, it is expected that ensemble averaging will increase skill levels. More importantly, we expect that ensemble prediction will enhance the utility of NWP by (a) providing a basis for the estimation of the reliability of forecasts, and (b) creating a quantitative foundation for probabilistic forecasting. A major challenge of ensemble prediction is to condense the large amounts of information provided by ensembles into a user-friendly format that can be easily assimilated and used by forecasters. Some examples of output products relevant to operational forecast applications are illustrated. They include the display of each member of the ensemble, ensemble mean and dispersion fields, ''clustering'' of similar forecasts, and simple probability estimates. While this implementation of ensemble prediction is relatively modest (ensembles of 14 members for the forecasts encompassing days 1 through 10), it does provide the basis for development of operational experience with ensemble forecasting, and for research directed toward maximizing the utility of NMC's numerical guidance.

The effect of hydrodynamic interaction on the two decay rates (of the so called 'slow'' and ''fast' modes) is assessed for dilute and semidilute solutions where Rouse dynamics are not appropriate. The Kubo formula was used to express the generalized mobilities in terms of the Oseen tensor and the static structure factors (convolution integral). The random phase approximation was used to express the interacting system static structure factors. A concentration blob concept allows the incorporation of hydrodynamic interaction inside each blob. Specific cases are discussed. RP HAMMOUDA, B (reprint author), NATL INST STAND & TECHNOL,MAT SCI & ENGN LAB,BLDG 235,ROOM E151,GAITHERSBURG,MD 20899, USA.

In this article we restate the FG philosophy in more general terms, examine and compare this method with other approaches to the eigenvalue problem, and begin the development of an FG R-matrix method for scattering. The philosophy of the FG method is to use the simplest representation for each of the kinetic and potential energy operators of the Hamiltonian, and use a generalized Fourier transform to put the matrix elements of one of the above operators in the same representation as the other, so the Hamiltonian has a single representation. Thus, the Hamiltonian is represented at discrete points in either configuration or its reciprocal space. In examining the method, we find that its errors arise from the finite grid size and grid spacing; however, it is not encumbered by the symmetry of a reference Hamiltonian as are basis function methods so that it is possible for the FG method to give a better description of the Hamiltonian and a better fit of the wavefunctions when the symmetry of the reference Hamiltonian breaks down. This is borne out in this, the first detailed comparison of the FG and linear variational basis set (LVBS) method. The LVBS method, using an harmonic oscillator basis set, initially outperforms the FG method in obtaining the properties of low-lying Morse oscillator eigenstates. Once a sufficient grid spacing is employed, however, the FG method is able to obtain properties of even the highest-lying eigenstates and with very high precision, something which the LVBS is unable to do. Finally, we present a FG formulation of the Wigner-Eisenbud R-matrix theory of scattering, in which the FG formalism rather than a basis set formalism is employed to solve the eigenvalue problem inside the R-matrix boundaries. An example is given for potential scattering, and the resulting phase shifts are compared with the numerically exact quantities.

Air parcel trajectory analysis identified that this conversion of inorganic chlorine occurred at air temperatures of less than 196 +/- 4 kelvin. High ClO was always accompanied by loss of HCl mixing ratios equal to 1/2(ClO + 2Cl2O2). These data indicate that the heterogeneous reaction HCl + ClONO2 --> Cl2 + HNO3 on particles of polar stratospheric clouds establishes the chlorine partitioning, which, contrary to earlier notions, begins with an excess of ClONO2, not HCl.

As early as mid-December and throughout the winter, significant enhancements of this ozone-destroying radical were observed within the polar vortex shortly after temperatures dropped below 195 k. Decreases in ClO observed in February were consistent with the rapid formation of chlorine nitrate (ClONO2) by recombination of ClO with nitrogen dioxide (NO2) released photochemically from nitric acid (HNO3). Outside the vortex, ClO abundances were higher than in previous years as a result of NO(x) suppression by heterogeneous reactions on sulfate aerosols enhanced by the eruption of Mount Pinatubo.

In some air masses, aerosol mass mixing ratios increased by factors exceeding 100 and aerosol surface area concentrations increased by factors of 30 or more. Increases in aerosol surface area concentration were accompanied by increases in chlorine monoxide at mid-latitudes when confounding factors were controlled. This observation supports the assertion that reactions occurring on the aerosol can increase the fraction of stratospheric chlorine that occurs in ozone-destroying forms.

The analysis indicates removal of 15 to 20 percent of ambient ozone because of elevated concentrations of chlorine monoxide and bromine monoxide. Observations during AASE II define rates of removal of chlorine monoxide attributable to reaction with nitrogen dioxide (produced by photolysis of nitric acid) and to production of hydrochloric acid. Ozone loss ceased in March as concentrations of chlorine monoxide declined. Ozone losses could approach 50 percent if regeneration of nitrogen dioxide were inhibited by irreversible removal of nitrogen oxides (denitrification), as presently observed in the Antarctic, or without denitrification if inorganic chlorine concentrations were to double.

The increase is the result of ozone-rich air entering the vortex, and the decrease reflects ozone loss accumulated after the descent of the air through high concentrations of reactive chlorine. The depleted air that is released out of the bottom of the vortex is sufficient to significantly reduce column ozone at mid-latitudes.

These efforts culminated in the Montreal Protocol3 and its subsequent amendments, which called for the elimination of CFC production by 1996. Here we focus on CFC-11 (CCl3F) and CFC-12 (CCl2F2), which are used for refrigeration, air conditioning and the production of aerosols and foams4, and which together make up about half of the total abundance of stratospheric organic chlorine5. We report a significant recent decrease in the atmospheric growth rates of these two species, based on measurements spanning the past 15 years and latitudes ranging from 83-degrees-N to 90-degrees-S. This is consistent with CFC-producers' own estimates of reduced emissions6,7. If the atmospheric growth rates of these two species continue to slow in line with predicted changes in industrial emissions, global atmospheric mixing ratios will reach a maximum before the turn of the century, and then begin to decline.

This network is composed of four niobium microbridges that are driven normal in pairs by pulses of laser light. An input signal is modulated at a frequency above the 1/f noise regime, amplified by the SQUID, and subsequently demodulated to obtain an output in which the excess low-frequency SQUID noise has been removed. With this technique, we have reduced the low-frequency noise by an order of magnitude in energy over measurements made without this technique. C1 STANFORD UNIV,DEPT PHYS,STANFORD,CA 94305.

Although the In adatoms are found to reside at a single position, 2.10 +/- 0.06 angstrom above the first Si bilayer, dual In-Si near-neighbor distances are found: 2.73 +/- 0.02 angstrom to the first- and 2.49 +/- 0.03 angstrom to the second-layer Si atoms, respectively.

In this picture the jets are created close to the neutron star surface and then propagate through the radiation pressure-dominated atmosphere. Our work focuses on the interaction of such a jet with this atmosphere. The treatment can be generalized straightforwardly to jet parameters other than those of SS 433. The main results are as follows. (1) A boundary layer (BL) due to radiation viscosity is formed between the jet and the surrounding medium. The width of this BL grows faster than the width of the jet, as a function of the distance along the flow. The density inside the BL is determined roughly by an equipartition between kinetic energy and internal energy. Once the flow is highly supersonic, the equipartition requirement makes the BL density much smaller than the density of the jet. Thus, the BL can be visualized as a cocoon of low-density matter around the jet. Due to its low density, the cocoon prevents significant mass entrainment into the jet. (2) Radiation-viscous effects cease to be important where the BL becomes optically thin sideways, which is also the place where the jet changes its behavior from adiabatic expansion to a ballistic (coasting) flow.- Further along the jet, the cocoon has a constant opening angle. (3) The final opening angle of the cocoon (theta(c)) is at least several times larger than the final opening angle of the jet; theta(c) is independent of the densities of the jet or the surroundings, or of the pressure, and scales as v/c, where v is the velocity of the jet and c is the speed of light. (4) The cocoon funnels a sizable X-ray flux in the direction of the jet. Under favorable conditions, this flux can power the optical line emission from the jets. Because the jet axis is relatively close to the plane of the sky, the observed X-ray flux associated with the cocoon does not exceed experimental limits. The expected X-ray color temperature more or less agrees with fits to observations. (5) Due to its low density, the gas in the cocoon contributes little to the line emission from SS 433. Therefore, it is easier to explain why the velocity along the cross section of the jet is almost constant, as inferred from studies of the line profiles.

Ethynyl radicals are produced by pulsed laser photolysis of C2H2 in a temperature variable flow cell and a tunable color center laser probes the transient removal Of C2H (X2SIGMA+(0,0,0)) in absorption. The rate coefficient has a slight negative temperature dependence over the range 193-350 K which can be expressed as k(O2) = (1.5 +/- 0.3) X 10(-11) exp[(230 +/- 36)/T] cm3 molecule-1 s-1. The lack of a pressure dependence under our experimental conditions strongly suggests that the HCCOO* complex is short lived with respect to encountering a collision and rapidly dissociates to products without competition from collisional stabilization to HCCOO or collisionally induced dissociation to reactants.

This implies the existence of a second length scale. By using a narrow beam only 300 mum wide, and then translating the crystal through the beam, we have established that the origin of the second length scale lies within the near-surface volume or ''skin'' of the Tb crystal. This is manifested by a large enhancement of the scattering intensity at the c-axis face of the cube-shaped crystal. C1 BROOKHAVEN NATL LAB,UPTON,NY 11973.

Tactostoma macropus (Stomiidae), were described from eggs to juveniles based on specimens collected in the subarctic and transitional waters of the North Pacific. The eggs are pelagic and may be distinguished from those of other species that inhabit subarctic and transitional waters of the North Pacific by the following characters: 1 ) egg large with a shell diameter of 1.38-1.55 mm, 2) wide perivitelline space occupying 40-47% of shell diameter, 3) smooth transparent shell, 4) lack of secondary inner membrane, 5) segmented yolk, and 6) single oil globule. Larvae are slender, ca. 4 mm notochord length (NL) in size at hatching and attain a large size; metamorphosis begins at ca. 40 mm standard length (SL) and is complete at ca. 50 mm SL. The larval pectoral fin degenerates during metamorphosis and is absent thereafter, The pigment pattern of larvae is unique, as is the sequence of formation and loss. Almost all body pigment disappears during metamorphosis. Distribution and occurrence patterns of eggs and larvae were analyzed in relation to the temperature, salinity fields and zooplankton abundance, mainly based on specimens collected on California Cooperative Fisheries Investigations cruises (1949-1984) in the California Current region. Although samples were limited in the western North Pacific, the distributional pattern off Japan was similar to that in the eastern Pacific. Eggs and larvae occur in the warmer shallow layer (ca. 14-18-degrees-C) above the seasonal thermocline in the subarctic and transitional waters with peak abundance in the summer.

The theory incorporates the idea of a ''concealed'' parameter alpha, originally due to Bridgman [Rev. Mod. Phys. 22, 56 (1950)], where the constitutive equations are governed by (a) a thermodynamic potential such as a generalized Gibbs function, G, or Helmholtz free-energy function, F, each with an explicit dependence on alpha, and (b) a prescription for alpha, the time rate of change of alpha, such that alpha is directly proportional to the negative of G(alpha) or F(alpha), the partial derivative of G or F with respect to alpha, respectively. The theory is found to be consistent with (1) the second law of thermodynamics regarding entropy production; (2) the concept of Lyapunov stability at equilibrium; (3) the rule of invariance with respect to a transformation of parameters; and (4) the powerful law of invariance with respect to the Legendre transformation. Significance of the new formulation is discussed by solving a class of one-dimensional creep and fatigue modeling problems and by comparing the new theory with several similar approaches in the literature.

A Fermi-coupled triad of states is observed, resulting from the interactions of 2nu6+nu11 and nu5+nu12 with the fundamental vibration, nu10, which is assumed to carry the oscillator strength in this region. The high resolution (approximately 3 MHz) of the spectrometer allows the observation of tunneling splittings associated with the nu6 torsional vibration. These splittings are used to identify the torsional character of the states observed. At the normal-mode level the nu10 and nu5 + nu12 states are found to be nearly degenerate and interacting by an anharmonic matrix element of approximately 3 cm-1. The lower-energy component of this diad exhibits torsional splittings of up to 400 MHz due to an anharmonic coupling of 0.70 cm-1 with the lower energy 2nu6+nu11 state which has an intrinsic tunneling splitting of approximately 800 MHz. A fourth state, 3nu6 + nu12, which has a still larger zeroth-order tunneling splitting, may also be affecting the torsional splittings of the observed states. The present investigation illustrates the utility of using resolved torsional splittings to unravel complex vibrational couplings in molecules.

Computation of this term, however, has hitherto been so consuming of computer resources that its full representation has not been feasible in nonparametric two-dimensional computer models of this equation. This paper describes the implementation of a hybrid computational scheme, incorporating a simplification first proposed by Thacker into the EXACT-NL Boltzmann integration scheme of Hasselmann and Hasselmann. This hybrid scheme retains EXACT-NL's symmetry, precision, and two-stage structure, but, by transferring a spectrum-independent preintegration from the second stage to the first, dramatically accelerates the resulting second-stage computation, enabling a relatively efficient and precise determination of nonlinear transfer in two-dimensional wave models. Physically, this preintegration collects together in single hybrid interactions multiple interactions belonging to identical spectral-band quadruplets. Thus all possible interactions are represented, and these interactions are represented in a uniquely efficient manner consistent with the spectral representation. We compute the coefficients in the resulting second-stage hybrid sum by essentially sorting and pre-summing the coefficients generated by a piecewise-constant first-stage EXACT-NL computation, using a variant of EXACT-NL that replaces the gather-scatter operations with a simpler bin-assignment procedure and employs a somewhat simpler set of integration variables. By exploiting the natural scaling of the integrand and partially pre-summing prior to sorting, we are able to further improve the efficiency of this computation for the deep-water case and to refine its integration-grid resolution almost to convergence. In wave-model computations of nonlinear transfer, vectorization on the spatial grid points of the model and selective truncation of the hybrid sum potentially reduce the working computation time for a single model time step to well under one Cray Y-MP single-processor CPU second per hundred grid points, while preserving a remarkably faithful representation of the full transfer.

DESCRIPTION AND TESTING OF THE MODEL SO JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH-OCEANS LA English DT Article ID SIGMA AB The ocean general circulation model of the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory has been modified to accommodate a generalized vertical coordinate transformation. The model with a slightly modified sigma transformation (sigma = z/H) is applied to three simple test cases. A clear improvement of barotropic and baroclinic topographic Rossby waves has been achieved compared with the z-coordinate model. A somewhat more typical time-independent problem for the overflow of dense water masses over a zonal ridge exhibits the potential benefits as well as the flaws of the new model. Vertically integrated mass transport is very sensitive to changes in bottom slope in regions where planetary and topographic beta are of comparable magnitudes. This translates into large errors in the z model due to the crude approximation to the actual topography. The deep flow in the z model does not follow the bottom exactly. Horizontal overshoots of dense water lead to convective mixing on the southern side of the ridge. This can be a serious problem for modeling more realistic overflow situations with the z model. Increased diapycnal diffusion has been identified as the most serious problem with the terrain-following coordinate system for this specific application.

APPLICATION TO AN OVERFLOW PROBLEM SO JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH-OCEANS LA English DT Article ID DENMARK STRAIT OVERFLOW; FAROE BANK CHANNEL; NORTH-ATLANTIC; WORLD OCEAN; WATER; OUTFLOW; DRIVEN; SEAS AB The version of the ocean general circulation model of the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory with a generalized vertical coordinate transformation introduced in part 1 is used to study the overflow of a zonal ridge in a coarse-resolution grid typical for climate applications. The configuration roughly resembles the Greenland-Scotland Ridge with respect to scale, latitude, and height of the ridge. Reasonable qualitative agreement with observed conditions over the Iceland-Faroe section has been achieved, especially when a deeper passage was included at the eastern end of the idealized model ridge. Upwelling of deep water occurs at the eastern boundary, where friction and, more importantly, diapycnal diffusion accomplish the necessary changes in potential vorticity. The overflow consists of intermediate water when the renewal time for the deep water is made much larger than that for intermediate water. The meridional mass transport is most sensitive to geometric factors like the height of the ridge. Frictional and diapycnal processes are crucial for the potential vorticity conversion at the ridge and have a strong effect on the water mass distribution. Bottom friction increases the near-bottom flow across f/H lines, resulting in a large amount of northern basin deep water south of the ridge. This effect can be represented only when the frictional bottom boundary layer is adequately resolved by the numerical grid. C1 PRINCETON UNIV,PROGRAM ATMOSPHER & OCEAN SCI,PRINCETON,NJ 08544.

In addition to the eddy diffusivity term, the model includes a term proportional to the second derivative of the mean scalar. The coefficient of the new term is closely related to the skewness of the vertical velocity component and to the inhomogeneity of the turbulent field. The model is used to explain the difference in eddy diffusivity between the top-down and bottom-up diffusion as well as the countergradient transport of the bottom-up scalar. The model is different from the approach of top-down and bottom-up decomposition in the respect that the former does not assume a linear profile of scalar flux or does not depend on the ratio of the entrainment flux to the surface flux. Unlike a previous countergradient term, the proposed term does not need to be combined with the top-down and bottom-up decomposition. The model equation is numerically solved to obtain the scalar gradient profile for three types of scalar fluxes including a quadratic profile with respect to height. It is shown that results of the modified first-order model agree well with large-eddy simulation data. Results of the usual K model are very different from those of the modified first-order model in the upper half of the boundary layer. Numerical data or observations are required to determine profiles of two coefficients in the modified model. The profiles may vary from one turbulent flow to another. Further modeling of the coefficients is necessary to obtain a more general model. C1 NOAA,AERON LAB,BOULDER,CO 80303.

Fe-18Cr-10Ni-1Mn alloys. Consistent with a volume increase, all the elastic stiffnesses decrease with increasing C + N. The present alloys show different behavior: although volume increases, interstitial nitrogen atoms increase the bulk modulus. The peculiar bulk-modulus-electron-concentration behavior (B vs. n(e)) of 3d electron elements is described. At first B increases with increasing n(e); beyond a critical concentration, B decreases rapidly. Application of Ducastelle's model (bandstructure and repulsion energies) shows that interstitial nitrogen increases the bandstructure contribution to the bulk modulus.

In this approach neutron trajectories are characterized by a transverse spatial coordinate and by a coordinate that is linearly related to wavelength and angle relative to the selector axis. It is then possible to classify neutron trajectories according to the number of absorbing sectors that they cross within the selector. In this way we can determine the extent to which a given selector is successful in eliminating neutrons that get through the selector other than via one of the intended helical channels. We describe the design algorithm for selectors such as those in use at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, and we discuss the properties of a selector built according to this algorithm. We also consider what happens when the direction of the neutron beam is reversed. The problem of optimizing the design of a multidisk velocity selector is briefly discussed.

Analysis is based on the calculation of the dynamic collision frequency of electron-ion scattering. Under plasma conditions when electron scattering has quantum character, the Born approximation for screened electron-ion interaction is used. In the case of classical scattering non-Born corrections become essential at high frequencies. Interpolation formulas for the collision frequency and Gaunt factor are presented at intermediate frequencies. Theoretical calculations are compared with measurements of bremsstrahlung for dense Ar and Al plasmas and computer simulation data. C1 NATL INST STAND & TECHNOL,GAITHERSBURG,MD 20899.

Both As2 and As are the desorbing species from 1 ML of arsenic on silicon above 1000 K. This is in contrast to previously reported models that considered only dimer desorption. With a continuous flux of As4, the scattered and desorbing arsenic species from Si(100) are examined as a function of surface temperature (650-1200 K). Atomic desorption is large, 75% +/- 19%, above 1000 K, and complete conversion of AS4 to AS2 and As occurs at 1200 K. The species selectivity of laser ionization time-of-flight mass spectroscopy has broader implications for GaAs growth. C1 NIST,JOINT INST LAB ASTROPHYS,BOULDER,CO 80309.

The general nature of the ozone anomalies in 1991-92 can be summarized as lower than normal ozone below about 25 km and higher than normal ozone above. The net result was that total ozone was somewhat lower than average and, during late 1992, was as low as recorded in 1982, following the eruption of El Chichon. Elevated temperatures in the region of the volcanic aerosol layer and upward motion of the aerosol layer were observed at Hilo following the eruption. Although the nature of the perturbed ozone profile may be the result of enhanced upward motion associated with volcanic aerosol particle heating, and the coupling of quasi-biennial oscillation effects, the persistent nature of the perturbation, still present more than a year after the eruption, is not easily explained.

During this interval the correlation between October-November values of South Pole total ozone, and south polar 100 mb temperature from radiosondes, is 0.93. In 23 of 27 cases, South Pole springtime (October-November) total ozone decreased from one year to the next when the Singapore 50 mb zonal wind averaged from the east during the intervening 3 seasons and increased when this wind averaged from the west. Owing to the high serial correlation of the wind and total-ozone data, this distribution is only significant at the 5% level according to the Chi-square test, but basically supports the conclusions of Garcia and Solomon (1987) and Lait et al. (1989) regarding the relation between equatorial QBO and depth of the ozone hole. The tendency for a deeper ozone hole when equatorial SST warms (El Nino) yields a relation between depth of the Antarctic ozone hole, and equatorial QBO and SST, significant at the 1% level only by the subjective drawing of a smooth line which separates springtime total-ozone increases and decreases from one year to the next in 24 of 25 cases with 2 cases on the line of separation. The Singapore 50 mb wind has been from the west during the first half of 1993, suggesting a less deep ozone hole in 1993 than in 1992, especially if the current prolonged El Nino finally abates in mid 1993.

We show that the total dissociation probability, the energy distribution, and the direction of ejection of the protons are very sensitive to the relative phase of the two radiations. A high degree of control may thus be achieved for the branching ratio between dissociation via bond-softening and above-threshold dissociation, in the realm of current experimental capabilities.

Prime among them is the stimulus RMs provide to the continuous improvement of established analytical methods and the development of new methods. As demands increase for certifying the concentrations of elements to higher levels of accuracy and/or with greater precision, old methods of analysis are refined and new ones are developed. This paper traces the parallel histories of the issue of geochemical reference materials and the development of today's principal methods for geoanalysis, showing the relationships between the two.

These methods were compared using the Great Lakes amphipod Diporeia spp. and [C-14]benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) sorbed to Florissant sediment (< 63 mum). The first approach, the direct measurement method, uses total organic carbon as a tracer and yielded AE values ranging from 45.9-60.4%. The second approach, the dual-labeled method, uses Cr-51 as a non-assimilated tracer and did not yield AE values for our data. The inability of the dual-labeled approach to estimate AEs was due, in part, to the selective feeding by Diporeia resulting in a failure of the non-assimilated tracer (Cr-51) to track with the assimilated tracer ([C-14]BaP). The failure of the dual-labeled approach was not a result of an uneven distribution of the labels among particle size classes, but more likely resulted from differential sorption of the two isotopically labeled materials to particles of differing composition. The [C-14]BaP apparently sorbs to organic particles that are selectively ingested, while the Cr-51 apparently sorbs to particles which are selectively excluded by Diporeia. The dual-labeled approach would be a viable and easier experimental approach for determining AE values if the characteristics that govern selective feeding can be determined.

This event was observed by many different instruments providing an unusual amount and variety of data: images at 1.4 GHz, 37 GHz, and Halpha, and spectra in hard X-ray, soft X-ray, and radio frequencies. This array of data allows us to explore the relationships between flare and eruptive prominence emissions at different wavelengths. VLA images at 1.4 GHz show changing sources in a set of high (approximately 10(10) cm) coronal loops associated with the erupting prominence. We use a full gyrosynchrotron code to model a 1.4 GHz source early in the flare as a large coronal loop. The model results lead us to conclude that the initial acceleration occurs in smaller, denser loops which also produce the flare's hard X-ray emission. We also present evidence that a source at 1.4 GHz later in the event is due to second-harmonic plasma emission. This source is adjacent to a leg of the prominence and comes from a dense column of material in the magnetic structure supporting the prominence. Finally, we investigate a source of microwaves and soft X-rays, occurring almost-equal-to 10 minutes after the hard X-ray peak, and calculate a lower limit for the density of the source.

For deciduous and coniferous forests, scaling relationships are used to account for canopy effects upon solar radiation, temperature, humidity and wind speed as a function of height through the canopy. Leaf temperature is calculated iteratively from a leaf energy balance as a function of height through the canopy. The predicted light and temperature levels are used with mean empirical emission rate factors and laboratory emission algorithms to predict hydrocarbon emission rates. For application to a U.S. inventory, diurnal emission fluxes of isoprene, alpha-pinene, other monoterpenes and other hydrocarbons are predicted for eight land cover classes by state climatic division by month. The total U.S. emissions range from 22 to 50 Tg yr-1 depending upon the formulation of different emission rate factors. In the case where the forest canopy model is not used, the isoprene emissions increase by 50% and terpene emissions increase by 6%. In case study analyses, the predicted leaf temperatures were within 1-2-degrees-C of observed for a deciduous forest, and predicted emissions were within a factor of two of observations. Further evaluation of the inventory using field measurements is required to determine the overall accuracy of the emission estimates.

Methanol emission originated within the leaf, was affected by leaf temperature, and closely followed changes in stomatal conductance. Observed methanol emission rates appear sufficient to be the source of greater-than-expected methanol concentrations recently measured in the rural troposphere. Plant methanol emission to the troposphere may be substantial and may contribute to tropospheric photochemistry and formaldehyde production. C1 UNIV COLORADO,DEPT CHEM & BIOCHEM,BOULDER,CO 80309.

The island is strongly influenced by two meteorological systems: the subtropical anticyclone and the westerlies, known as the roaring forties. Westerly surface winds dominate ground-level flow on the island, which receives an annual average precipitation of 1100 mm. A 10-year back air trajectory climatology at 850 hPa to the island showed the same predominant westerly-southwesterly flow (55% of the period). Special emphasis was placed on trajectories that had their origin on the African continent because this was the predominant nonmarine source of trace materials that could be transported to Amsterdam Island. This transport, most frequent in the winter and early spring, coincided with the winter peak of continental radon. A comparison of trajectories and 12-h precipitation amounts on the island showed that most of the rain coincided with southwesterly flow, but many large individual events were frequently associated with northerly and westerly flow regimes. Meteorological information about local conditions and flow climatology is necessary to aid in the interpretation of atmospheric chemistry measurements made at global stations such as Amsterdam Island.

Simulation studies, utilizing this compensatory model of the mackerel stock, suggest that expected yields and spawning stock sizes under conditions of constant harvest rate or constant catch would be quite disparate. Yields and spawning stock size would be less variable and slightly larger under a constant catch strategy for catches of mackerel up to approximately 200 000 t. However, a constant harvest rate strategy would provide higher long-term yields and a more stable spawning stock at catches greater than 200 000 t. A comparison of a constant catch policy with F-0.1, F-20, and F-max fishing strategies (constant F) suggests that the F-max and F-20 strategies would cause a long-term decline in the spawning stock below the current minimum spawning stock target and provide highly variable yields. A constant catch strategy could produce nearly the same level of yield with considerably less variability and maintain a larger mean spawning stock biomass than the F-0.1 strategy.

The results of these analyses permit us to estimate the apparent age of the megaplume by two independent methods. The age estimate based on excess Rn-222 is 20 +/- 9 days. Based on the partitioning of manganese between the dissolved and particulate phases the age is estimated to be between 6 and 60 days. Both techniques confirm that Megaplume 2 was a separate hydrothermal event and that it was not Megaplume 1 sampled 1 year after it was first discovered.

These 'approximate systems' are derived by slowing down the speed of the fast waves instead of increasing their speed to infinity as in the primitive equations. The approximate systems have a number of theoretical advantages over the traditional systems. The practical implications of some of these advantages have already been demonstrated for the oceanic case. There is another advantage of the new systems that has not been discussed extensively. A model based on either of the new systems can be used to describe different scales of motion, e.g. the large, medium, or small scale. In addition, a mechanism is provided for a smooth transition between these scales. The incorporation of topography into the approximate systems has also not been discussed. To demonstrate the multiscale nature of the transformed systems in the presence of topography, numerical results from a model based on the approximate system for meteorology are compared with analytic solutions for three topographic scales. Removing the horizontal means of the density and pressure, which was necessary to obtain the proper scaling of the equations in the original papers, reduces the truncation error associated with a transformed system near steep mountains. For example, in the atmospheric case a second-order method requires only approximately 10 points across the base of the mountain to achieve a 1% relative error for any of the three topographic solutions during the relevant time scale of the associated motion.

Such analyses require (1) the existence of genetic differences identified in base-line data from contributing populations, and (2) an adequate sampling of individuals from the mixture to characterize its composition. Genetic analyses of complex population mixtures of salmonids began around 1980 and subsequently have been increasing; applications have included estimates of geographic origins in marine and freshwater fisheries, and of ancestral origins in populations reestablished from multiple sources. The potential for applications of genetic analyses of population mixtures is more limited in most marine species because such species are typically less genetically subdivided than salmonid species. However genetic analyses are feasible in any species in areas of intermingling of genetically distinguishable populations. In addition, genetic marking by preferential breeding of genetically distinguishable individuals may be used to establish genetically distinct cultured populations within species amenable to artificial propagation.

The radiation source was a 3-MV potential drop accelerator designed to produce high electron beam currents for materials-processing applications. This accelerator is capable of producing a 25 milliampere swept electron beam that is scanned over a width of 112.5 cm and which emerges from the accelerator vacuum system through a titanium double window assembly. During maintenance on the lower window pressure plate, an operator placed his hands, head, and feet in the beam. This was done with the filament voltage of the electron source turned ''off,'' but with the full accelerating potential on the high voltage terminal. The operator's body, especially his extremities and head, were exposed to electron dark current. In an attempt to reconstruct the accident, radiochromic film and alanine measurements were made with the accelerator operated at two beam currents. Measured dose rates ranged from approximately 40 cGy s-1 inside the victim's shoe to 1,300 cGy s-1 at the hand position. Approximately 3 mo after the accident, it was necessary to amputate the four digits of the victim's right hand and most of the four digits of his left hand. Electron paramagnetic resonance spectrometry, which measures the concentration of radiation-induced paramagnetic centers in calcified tissues, was used to estimate the dose to the victim's extremities. A mean dose estimate of 55.0 +/- 3.5 Gy (95% confidence level) averaged over the mass of the bone was obtained for the victim's left middle ringer (middle phalanx).

The results are compared with those obtained previously using a singular integral equation (SIE) and with the theory that predicts that the fields near the edge of the wedge behave like static fields. The HIE produces more consistent results than the SIE, probably because the unknown boundary function tends to a constant near the edge instead of diverging. The two numerical methods agree reasonably well, and these results agree only in part with the static field behavior.

The pressure shift agrees well with theoretical predictions made using Anderson-Tsao-Curnutte theory. The self-broadening parameter shows the expected K depencence. However, the predictions are systematically too large for decreasing J. The influence of the TuFIR power spectrum on the derived experimental parameters was evaluated and a comparison was made between two-wave and three-wave mixing spectroscopy.

ANALYSES OF CONDORS FIELD EXPERIMENT DATA SO JOURNAL OF APPLIED METEOROLOGY LA English DT Article ID MIXED-LAYER; DIFFUSION; BUOYANT; MODEL AB Extensive analyses are performed on data from the CONDORS (convective diffusion observed with remote sensors) field experiment, described in detail by Eberhard et al. Convective scaling is used to facilitate comparisons with laboratory and numerical simulations and to give the results generality. Near-surface chi/Q from lidar-detected oil fog are generally in excellent agreement with nearby samples of coreleased SF6, considering the large spatial gradients found in the oil fog. Extrapolations to the surface of integral chidy/Q of radar-detected ''chaff'' agree reasonably well with most oil fog values after a mathematical compensation for the chaff's settling speed. Measured wind direction distributions compare favorably with integral chidy and integral chidz distributions of both tracers. The directly measured bulk variables sigma(y) and sigma(z) show little effect of source height or of tracer type except that surface-released sigma(y) are enhanced by up to 60% at X < 0.3 [X = (x/U)w*/z(i), where U is mean wind speed, w* is the convective scale velocity, and z(i) is mixing depth]. Generally, sigma(y) almost-equal-to 0.6z(i)X = 0.6w*x/U at X < 1, sigma(y) almost-equal-to 0.6z(i)X2/3 at X > 1, and sigma(z) almost-equal-to 0.6z(i)X until limited by reflections; sigma(y) systematically reduces for averaging times divided by z(i)/U less than 6. Also, for surface releases at small X, oil fog surface-extrapolated integral chidy/Q gives good agreement with Nieuwstadt; with the Gaussian assumption, this implies sigma(z) almost-equal-to 0.9z(i)X3/2. Composite patterns of C(y) = Uz(i) integral chidy/Q versus X and z/z(i) for surface releases are substantially in agreement with Willis and Deardorff's laboratory and Lamb's LES simulations. In the aggregate, the oil and chaff measurements support a (1 + 2z(s)/z(i)) enhancement factor in maximum surface values of integral chidy over Gaussian plume model predictions, with these maxima occurring mostly near x = 2z(s)U/w*, Where z(s) is source height. This agrees with most simulation results. Attention is focused on the effect of wBAR anomalies and persistence of C(y) patterns.

The motivation for this work was the prediction by Lucchese [J. Chem. Phys. 92, 4203 (1990)] that the sigma(u) shape resonance in the (4sigma(g))-1 C2SIGMA(g)+ ionization channel would influence the photoionization dynamics in the other valence-shell continua through continuum-continuum channel interaction, with the main effect occurring in the (3sigma(u))-1 B2SIGMA(u)+ channel. Indeed, clear evidence for this phenomenon is observed in this channel, the most prominent indication being a broad, shallow minimum in the asymmetry parameter at approximately 40 eV. Comparisons of the present results with theory and other measurements reflect good overall agreement and provide some guidance regarding the effectiveness of alternative approximations used in the theoretical calculations.

A trapped miscible state was obtained through fast solution casting of film specimens. Time dependence of the structure factor, S(q,t), was measured after the specimen temperature was quickly increased to a final temperature which is above its glass transition temperature, T(g). Thus, the early stage of spinodal decomposition kinetics has been observed starting from the dimension (q-1) comparable to the single chain radius of gyration, R(g), for a binary polymer mixture. The results provide an unequivocal quantitative measure of the virtual structure factor, S(q, infinity); the relationship of q(m) and q(c) through rate of growth, Cahn-plot analysis, and singularity in S(q, infinity); the growth of fluctuation of qR(g) < 1 and intrachain relaxation of qR(g) > 1; and also a clear proof of the Cahn-Hillard-Cook theory in the early stage of spinodal decomposition of a mean-field system.

The issues include long-term homogeneous time series of routine weather observations; time- and space-scale resolution of datasets derived from the observations; information about observing systems, data collection systems, and data reduction algorithms; and the enhancement of weather observing systems to serve as climate observing systems. Although much has been learned from existing weather networks and methods of data management, the system is far from perfect. There are several vital areas that have not received adequate attention. Particular improvements are needed in the interaction between network designers and climatologists; operational analyses that focus on detecting and documenting outliers and time-dependent biases within datasets; developing the means to cope with and minimize potential inhomogeneities in weather observing systems; and authoritative documentation of how various aspects of climate have or have not changed. In this last area, close attention must be given to the time and space resolution of the data. In many instances the time and space resolution requirements for understanding why the climate changed are not synonymous with understanding how, it has changed or varied. This is particularly true within the surface boundary layer. A standard global daily/monthly climate message should also be introduced to supplement current Global Telecommunication System's CLIMAT data. Overall, a call is made for improvements in routine weather observing, data management, and analysis systems. Routine observations have provided (and will continue to provide) most of the information regarding how the climate has changed during the last 100 years affecting where we live, work, and grow our food.

Rainfall in the deep tropics is particularly important as a forcing mechanism for the atmosphere's large-scale circulation and climate. Analysis of systematic space-based observations and surface marine data over the past three decades has vastly improved our understanding of tropical convective regimes and their relationship to surface conditions. The characteristics of the annual cycle of tropical convection and its relationship to sea surface temperature field and the general circulation of the tropics are reviewed. The hierarchal nature of tropical precipitation variability on time/space scales ranging from synoptic cloud clusters through the intraseasonal Madden-Julian Oscillation to multiyear El Nino-Southern Oscillation cycle is discussed. Links between tropical convection and extratropical precipitation on time scales ranging from synoptic to multiyear are examined, with emphasis on conditions over the North Pacific-North American sector during winter. Precipitation variability over a number of regions bordering the Atlantic basin are related to Atlantic sector modes of SST and circulation variability. Systematic modes of Atlantic variability and their relationship to regional precipitation variability are described with emphasis on the tropics. Changes in landscape characteristics (vegetative cover, soil moisture, surface roughness), whether natural or human induced, result in changes in the surface radiation balance and the fluxes of heat and moisture. Our current understanding of the role of land surface processes in sustaining or intensifying anomalous precipitation regimes is briefly discussed. Identification of an anthropogenic trend in the presence of decadal-scale natural variations in precipitation is a formidable challenge. Three examples of large-amplitude secular variations in regional precipitation regimes (Sahel, North American Great Plains, and India) are discussed in terms of possible forcing mechanisms. Continuous global monitoring of precipitation is a challenging task. Satellite-based observations, in conjunction with effective use of surface-based ''ground truth'' data and further development of four-dimensional data assimilation methodology, offer the only realistic prospects for significant improvement in the monitoring and quantification of global precipitation. Current methods for estimating precipitation from space-based observations are described and an overview of the upcoming Tropical Rainfall Measurement Mission is included.

This phenomenon, herein termed the ''Mexican monsoon,'' is described from analyses of monthly mean rainfall, geostationary satellite imagery, and rawinsonde data, In particular, the authors note the geographical extent and magnitude of the summer rains, the rapidity of their onset, and the timing of the month of maximum rainfall. Finally, the difficulty in explaining the observed precipitation distribution and its timing from monthly mean upper-air wind and moisture patterns is discussed.

Ca is coordinated to seven oxygen atoms and the coordination polyhedron is best described as pentagonal bipyramid. The coordinations of the two carboxylate groups in adipate ion are quite different. One carboxylate group binds three different Ca ions forming a four-membered chelate ring with one Ca ion and unidentate bridge bonds to two other Ca ions. The other carboxylate group links to two Ca ions through unidentate bonds. The structure is highly polymeric, but with a layer-type structure parallel to (001) with the hydrocarbon chains sandwiched between the polar regions consisting of Ca, carboxylate and water molecules.

Coordinations of the two independent Ca ions are quite similar, but the environments of HP2O7 and H2P2O7 ions are quite different, probably due to their locations in different layers. The general structural features are quite similar to those of Ca(NH4)HP2O7. C1 US FDA,BUR RADIOL HLTH,DIV BIOL EFFECTS,ROCKVILLE,MD 20857.

The cyclotron effective masses and Fermi energies have been computed for each subband density for 12 total densities between 0.1 to 5.0 X 10(12) cm-2. The agreement with Shubnikov-de Haas measurements is very good at lower densities with possible improvement if band-gap narrowing effects were to be included. At higher densities, larger differences occur. The simple 2D description is shown to break down as the density increases because the wave functions of the conduction and valence bands cannot be well separated by the narrow band gap of long-wavelength detectors. These results provide a basis for characterizing the passivation processes, which greatly affect device performance. C1 UNIV N TEXAS,DEPT PHYS,DENTON,TX 76203.

The effects were evaluated by measurements of permeability through dentin discs and by scanning electron microscopy. Precipitation kinetics were followed by pH changes in the solutions and products were determined by X-ray powder diffraction. The solutions were applied in two ways: (a) calcium and phosphate solutions were mixed before application and (b) one solution (calcium or phosphate) was applied first followed by the other solution. Three kinds of human dentin discs were used; one with smear layer and the other two with tubules exposed by sonication or etched by acid. The high concentration calcium phosphate solutions at pH = 9.5 rapidly precipitated amorphous calcium phosphates that obstructed the dentinal tubules and decreased dentin permeability by 85% or more. At pH = 5.6, the calcium phosphate solutions precipitated large crystals of dicalcium phosphate dihydrate. In this case, the effectiveness in obstructing dentinal tubules was found to be procedure sensitive. C1 CHILDRENS HOSP,VANCOUVER,BC,CANADA. MED COLL GEORGIA,SCH DENT,AUGUSTA,GA 30912.

The density and flow rate of the gas (input at the bottom of a V-shaped valley in otherwise homogeneous, flat terrain) were together sufficiently low to prevent pooling of the gas on the valley floor. In terms of the earlier and complimentary work of Briggs et al. (J. Hazardous Mater., 24 (1990) 1-33), who considered only pooling cases, the present work concentrates on cases for which the relevant Richardson numbers (Ri0 = gHDELTArho/(rhoU-0(2)) are relatively low. A simple theory is described, based on assumptions about the way in which the (slightly) heavy gas is removed by turbulent entrainment from the separated flow in the valley. For the steady state case, the theoretical result C0/C(s) = epsilonV0(1 + alphaRi0n) is shown to fit the data quite well, where C0/C(s) is the ratio of the average valley concentration to the source gas concentration, V0 is the dimensionless source flow rate and epsilon, alpha and n are constants. For the transient experiments, in which the source was suddenly removed and the decay of valley concentration was measured, the data are shown to be reasonably consistent with the theory, for both neutral and heavy gas releases: -ln(C') + alphaRi0n (1 - C'n)/n = t'/tau, where C' = C(t)/C(s) and tau is a decay time constant. Although Reynolds number effects are shown to be significant in certain cases, the results provide a framework for estimating how long a heavy gas spill will take to disperse from depressions which are sufficiently steep-sided to embody regions of separation in windy conditions aloft.

Presence of the Alaskan Stream was indicated by temperatures > 4-degrees-C to depths in excess of 200 m. Geopotential topography showed the Alaskan Stream flowing through Near Strait into the Bering Sea, with branches also flowing northward through Amchitka and Buldir passes. Satellite-tracked drifter paths were in general agreement with these features. Transport through Near Strait was approximately 5 X 10(6) m3 S-1. Previous research indicated that the Stream had been absent from the Strait for more than a year. Data from three current moorings (13-mo duration), however, suggested that the Alaskan Stream started flowing through Near Strait in October 1991 and continued into September 1992. This inflow had periods of both steady and variable flow. RP REED, RK (reprint author), NOAA,PACIFIC MARINE ENVIRONM LAB,7600 SAND POINT WAY NE,SEATTLE,WA 98115, USA.

T. longicornis usually performed diel vertical migration characterized by deep residence during the day and ascent to near-surface waters at night for variable periods. The pattern of diel migration was independent of either the vertical distribution or relative abundance of chlorophyll in the water column. There was no clear evidence linking the amplitude of vertical migration to food concentration. Rather, the amplitude of migration decreased toward the end of the season probably due to animals avoiding warm waters (> 17-degrees-C) near the surface. Gut pigment content showed diel variation characterized by maximum values during, the nighttime. However, the estimated mean ingestion rate from the nighttime period was significantly greater than that of the daytime period in only 2 of 11 comparisons indicating that this copepod usually fed throughout the day at about the same rate. The shape of the diel curve was usually similar for females at 5 and 20 m. Usually there was no difference in gut content of females with depth even when differences in chlorophyll with depth were pronounced. Therefore, the diel variability in gut content was unlikely to result from continuous feeding in a vertically stratified food environment. Short-term (hourly) changes in chlorophyll concentration could not entirely account for changes in gut content over a diel cycle. We estimate that female T. longicornis removed daily < 1-34% of the phytoplankton stock and < 1-49% of the primary production in Long Island Sound. Estimates of daily carbon rations indicate that a herbivorous diet can satisfy the metabolic requirements and support egg production of T. longicornis throughout most of its season.

Four structurally similar chlorophenoxy acid herbicides were tested. 2-Methyl-4 chlorophenoxyacetic acid at 0.1 mM had no effect on PAH transport. 2-(2,4-Dichlorophenoxy)propionic acid, 2-(2-methyl,4 chlorophenoxy)propionic acid and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid inhibited PAH secretion with IC50 values (median inhibitory concentrations) of 0.09, 0.2 and 0.2 mM, respectively. At 2-(2-methyl,4-chlorophenoxy)propionic acid concentrations of 10(-7) to 10(-6) M, PAH secretion was stimulated to 132 and 139% of controls, respectively, at 2 hr. 2,2-bis-p-chlorophenylacetic acid was tested at concentrations of 10(-7) to 10(-3) M and inhibited with an IC50 of 0.02 mM. At 10(-7) M 2,2-bis-p-chlorophenylacetic acid, a delayed increase was again seen in which PAH secretion increased to 154% of control at 2 hr. The anticholinesterase insecticide phosphothioic acid O,O-diethyl-O-(3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinyl ester), its more active metabolite O,O-diethyl-O-(3,5,6 trichloro-2-pyridyl)phosphate and its dimethyl analog, phosphothioic acid O,O-dimethyl-O-(3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinyl ester) were tested at 0.1 mM. Phosphothioic acid O,O-diethyl-O-(3,5,6-trich-loro-2-pyridinyl ester) increased PAH secretion significantly to 115% of control whereas the O,O-diethyl-O-(3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridyl)phosphate inhibited by 28%. The biphasic effects exhibited in the dose-response curves of several pesticides are similar to those noted with respect to a-ketoglutarate and may reflect time-dependent trans and cis interactions on the basolateral PAH:alpha-ketoglutarate anion exchanger.

At atmospheric pressures, the Q branches of these bands exhibit significant rotational narrowing or line mixing. The broadening coefficients have been fit with empirical rotationally inelastic collision rate laws, which are then used to model the line mixing in the overlapped Q-branch profiles. Simple energy gap fitting laws appear to be suitable for the shorter-range intermolecular quadrupole-quadrupole and induction forces, whereas an energy-corrected-sudden scaling law works better for the longer-range dipole-dipole and dipole-quadrupole collision partners. In all cases, the line-coupling coefficients are substantially reduced from the rotationally inelastic rates fit to the broadening coefficients, indicating that 35-70% of the broadening may be due to other collisional mechanisms such as cross-relaxation to the degenerate PI state vibrational level.

Water, paraffin oil, and a formulated oil were used as lubricants. Different wear regions were identified as a function of load, speed, and lubrication environment. Sudden increases in wear, identified as wear transitions, were found at certain loads and speeds. The onset of wear transitions was moderated by the presence of a lubricant. Below the wear transitions, the wear was mild and the wear mechanism was predominantly plastic deformation and microfracture. Above the wear transitions, the wear was severe, dominated by brittle fracture and third-body abrasion. Different fluids had different effects on wear. Water had a deleterious effect on wear for this material. The presence of oil lubricants effectively reduced friction and moderated wear. Under high load and high speed, additional stress induced by a thermal gradient within a small area contributed significantly to wear. A critical velocity model was found to describe the locations of the wear transition zones successfully. RP LEE, SW (reprint author), NATL INST STAND & TECHNOL,DIV CERAM,GAITHERSBURG,MD 20899, USA.

The numerical simulations demonstrate significant effects due to the differences in the incident flow. The addition of upstream turbulence and shear results in a reduced size of the cavity directly behind the building. The accuracy of numerical simulations is verified by comparing the predicted mean flow fields with the available wind-tunnel measurements of Castro and Robins (1977). Comparing our results with experimental data, we show that the TEMPEST model can reasonably simulate the mean flow. C1 NOAA,AIR RESOURCES LAB,DIV ATMOSPHER SCI MODELING,RES TRIANGLE PK,NC 27711.

Four dihydroxysterols were detected in amounts greater than 1% of total sterol by gas chromatography and were analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. The two principal sterols were isolated by chromatography on alumina followed by hydrophobic Sephadex column chromatography. The two sterols appeared to differ by having either a methyl or an ethyl group at C-24; they were termed ''methylpavlovol'' and ''ethylpavlovol.'' Analysis by 400 MHz nuclear magnetic resonance showed that methylpavlovol is 4alpha,24beta-dimethylcholestan-3beta,4beta-diol and ethylpavlovol is 4alpha-methyl,24beta-ethylcholestan-3beta,4beta-diol. The 4alpha-methyl, 4beta-hydroxy configuration has not been observed previously in a natural sterol. Dihydroxysterols make up approximately one-third of the total sterols in these Pavlova species. Neither the biosynthetic origin of these dihydroxysterols nor their role in the biochemistry of Pavlova is known. C1 LINDSEY WILSON COLL,DEPT BIOL,COLUMBIA,KY 42728.

Two surveys of the area of larval distribution were done 12 d apart and daily mortality rates estimated from changes in abundance of each cohort. This study was designed to minimize potential sources of bias to mortality estimates, such as larval extrusion or escapement from sampling gear, advective or diffusive gain or loss of larvae into or out of the sampling area, the uncertainty incurred by the use of length as a proxy for age, and the often erroneous assumption of constant production and mortality rates. The age-specific mortality rates from this study were low compared to rates previously estimated for larval wall-eye pollock. Four significant mortality estimates, ranging from 0.041 to 0.076 d-1, came from among the youngest cohorts. The low larval mortality rates in 1988 coincided with very calm ocean conditions. Larval drift rates estimated in this study were coherent with the movement of a satellite-tracked drift buoy and averaged 3.1 to 3.9 cm s-1, which is comparable to rates reported from other studies.

Environmental SEM (also referred to as high pressure or low vacuum SEM) can address uncoated samples that are known to be difficult to image. Most of these specimens are difficult to image by conventional SEM even when coated with a conductive layer. Another area where environmental SEM is particularly applicable is for specimens not compatible with high vacuum, such as volatile specimens. Samples from which images were obtained that otherwise may not have been possible by conventional methods included fly ash particles on an oiled plastic membrane impactor substrate, a one micrometer diameter fiber mounted on the end of a wire, uranium oxide particles embedded in oil-bearing cellulose nitrate, teflon and polycarbonate filter materials with collected air particulate matter, polystryene latex spheres on cellulosic filter paper, polystyrene latex spheres ''loosely'' sitting on a glass slide, and subsurface tracks in an etched nuclear track-etch detector. Surface charging problems experienced in high vacuum SEMs are virtually eliminated in the low vacuum SEM, extending imaging capabilities to samples previously difficult to use or incompatible with conventional methods.

FRONTAL-CYCLONE EVOLUTION AND THERMODYNAMIC AIR-SEA INTERACTION SO MONTHLY WEATHER REVIEW LA English DT Article ID 18-19 FEBRUARY 1979; ATMOSPHERIC BOUNDARY-LAYER; PRESIDENTS DAY CYCLONE; SURFACE-ENERGY FLUXES; EXPLOSIVE CYCLOGENESIS; BAROCLINIC WAVES; EASTERN PACIFIC; NORTH-ATLANTIC; UNITED-STATES; SCALE MODEL AB The Experiment on Rapidly Intensifying Cyclones over the Atlantic was carried out over the western North Atlantic Ocean to provide temporally continuous comprehensive datasets from which to document the life cycle of extratropical marine cyclones. The most intense cyclogenetic event occurred on 4-5 January 1989 over the warm (>20-degrees-C) Gulf Stream current; the cyclone's central sea level pressure decreased by 60 mb in 24 h, from 996 to 936 mb. This study presents the synoptic-scale and mesoscale life cycle of this cyclone in two parts. Part I, presented here, describes the 24-h frontal-cyclone evolution through 6-h analyses of observations taken by specially deployed observing systems from air, land, and sea. The analyses of temperature, wind, and pressure about the incipient cyclone first illustrate the precursor signatures to cyclogenesis. The 850- and 500-mb temperature evolutions show a significant departure from the Norwegian frontal-cyclone model. In particular, the 850-mb analyses document 1) a storm-relative westward development of the warm front as a bent-back front into the polar airstream, and 2) the formation of a warm-core frontal seclusion in the post-cold-frontal coot air at the southwestern tip of the bent-back front. Analyses of sea level pressure provide a detailed account of cyclone intensification along the bent-back front. Infrared satellite imagery shows the evolution and immense size (approximately 5000 km) of the cyclone's cloud signature, and a 250-km-scale comma-cloud system in the vicinity of the warm-core seclusion situated at the southwestern tip of the large-scale comma head. Thermodynamic air-sea interaction diagnostics reveal large upward fluxes of heat and moisture from the sea surface into the marine boundary layer of the evolving cyclone. The maximum of combined upward flux approached 3000 W m-2, several times larger than that typically observed in both extratropical and tropical cyclones. These fluxes exhibited extreme spatial variability, reflecting the mesoscale characteristics of the cyclone circulation.

Part I describes the 24-h frontal-cyclone evolution through 6-h horizontal analyses of observations taken by specially deployed observing systems from air, land, and sea. Part II presents frontal-scale and precipitation structures and physical processes from analyses based primarily on research aircraft observations taken during three phases of the cyclone's life cycle. Horizontal analyses at 350 m above ground level describe the cyclone's mesoscale frontal baroclinic structure and associated flow patterns. The vertical structure and evolution of the cyclone's cold front, warm front, and bent-back front are illustrated in cross-sectional analyses of potential temperature, wind velocity, potential vorticity (PV), front-relative transverse flow vectors, diabatic heating, and PV tendencies. Of particular interest are the lower-tropospheric positive PV anomalies within the warm front and within its bent-back extension westward into the polar airstream. Airborne radar reflectivities and Doppler velocities provide a detailed account of the precipitation elements and associated wind flow patterns in the vicinity of the fronts, including mesoconvective radar reflectivities of greater than 50 dBZ and cross-frontal convergent flow exceeding -20 X 10(-4) s-1. Time series traces of the 1-s aircraft observations show large and rapid changes in meteorological variables as the aircraft crossed the narrow frontal zones.

In particular, we examine the specific differential phase, the backscatter differential phase, the correlation coefficient between vertically and horizontally polarized waves, and the differential reflectivity, collected from a storm at close range. Three range-height cross sections are analyzed together with complementary data from a prototype WSR-88D radar. The case is interesting because it demonstrates the complementary nature of these polarimetric measurands. Self-consistency among them allows qualitative and some quantitative discrimination between hydrometeors. C1 NATL SEVERE STORMS LAB,NORMAN,OK 73069.

The method is applied to the National Meteorological Center analyses of Northern Hemisphere 700-mb geopotential height anomalies, which have been filtered to eliminate periods shorter than 10 days. Empirically derived normal modes of the randomly forced linear system are usually correlated, even at zero lag, suggesting that combinations of modes should be used in predictions. Due to nonlinearities in the dynamics and the neglect of interactions with other pressure levels, the lag at which the analysis is performed is crucial; best predictions obtain when the autocovariances involved in the analysis are calculated at a lag comparable to the exponential decay times of the modes. Errors in prediction have a significant seasonal dependence, indicating that the annual cycle affects the higher-order statistics of the field. Optimized linear predictions using this method are useful for about half a day longer than predictions made by persistence. Conditional probabilities are much more efficiently calculated using normal-mode parameters than from histograms, and yield similar results. Maps of the model's Fourier spectra-integrated over specified frequency intervals and consistent with the assumptions made in a linear analysis-agree with maps obtained from fast Fourier transforms of the data.

Little is known about the ecology of white sturgeon, and the feeding ecology in particular has received only limited investigation. From April through October 1988, the feeding ecology of juvenile white sturgeon was studied in two areas of the lower Columbia River. Overall, the tube-dwelling amphipod Corophium salmonis was the most important prey for the two size classes of juvenile white sturgeon studied. However, during all sampling periods and at both areas (River Kilometers [RKm] 153 and 21 1), Size Class I white sturgeon (144-350 mm fork length) preyed more heavily on C. salmonis than did Size Class II white sturgeon (351 to 724 mm). Other temporally important prey for Size Class I white sturgeon included Corophium spinicorne, Neomysis sp., Chironomidae larvae, and eulachon (Thaleichthys pacificus) eggs; other temporally important prey for Size Class Il white sturgeon included the bivalve Corbicula fluminea, Corophium spinicorne, Chironomidae larvae, and eulachon eggs. Index of Feeding analysis indicated that juvenile white sturgeon in both areas contained less food in September-October than in either May-June or July-August. Generally, the relationships between densities (abundances) of specific benthic organisms and white sturgeon diets were poor at RKm 153 and 21 1. Despite the importance of Corophium salmonis in the diets of juvenile white sturgeon, it was not abundant in the benthos (mean density, < 185 organisms/m2 in April and September).

Information that is normally inaccessible, e.g., sublevel partial cross sections in charge-transfer experiments, can be obtained when aligned targets are used. The calculations of orbital alignment must carefully allow for fine and hyperfine structure, laser linewidths, pulse widths and delays, sublevel coherences, and other factors. In this paper we derive the orbital alignments and time-averaged d-state sublevel populations for 3 S-2(1/2)-->3 P-2J1-->n 2D excitations in Na using angular-momentum and density-matrix methods. We consider both quadrupole alignment A(2) and hexadecapole alignment A(4), with excitation through either J1=1/2 or 3/2 intermediate states considered on the same footing. We show sublevel populations for \M(L)\=0,1, and 2 analytically and graphically. Finally, we formulate the experimental design problem quantitatively in order to ascertain how to optimize the choice of polarizer angles for extraction of sublevel partial cross sections. Although perhaps the commonest instance, two-step excitation of Na(nd) is but one of a large number of interesting cases, and this study is further intended to illustrate and guide the application of these methods to other light atoms.

Using the Zeeman slowing method to decelerate a beam of xenon atoms in the metastable 6s 3/2 [3/2]2 state (notation representing nl J(core) [K=J(core) + l]J), we load our trap to a collisionally limited density of more than 10(10) atoms/cm3. The two odd isotopes are trapped without a repumping frequency, even though they have hyperfine structure. The sensitivity of the trapping process to the laser frequency is exploited to make accurate measurements of the isotope shifts for the 6s 3/2 [3/2]2-->6p 3/2 [5/2]3 laser-cooling transition and of the hyperfine constants for Xe-131.

Both experimentally and in numerical calculations it is found that the two-phase system is significantly less stable than the analogous rigid-walled system for materials with moderately large Prandtl numbers. A numerical treatment based on Floquet theory is described, which gives results that are in good agreement with preliminary experimental findings. In addition, this instability is further examined by carrying out a formal asymptotic expansion of the solution in the limit of large Prandtl number. In this limit the Floquet analysis is considerably simplified, and the linear stability of the modulated system can be determined to leading order through a conventional stability analysis, without recourse to Floquet theory. The resulting simplified problem is then studied for both the narrow gap geometry and for the case of a finite gap. It is surprising that the determination of the linear stability of the two-phase system is considerably simpler than that of the rigid-walled system, despite the complications introduced by the presence of the crystal-melt interface.

These effects had previously been largely ignored. We review here the effects of elastic scattering in the formalism of quantitative surface analysis by AES and XPS and discuss the various definitions of terms (inelastic mean free path, attenuation length and escape depth) that have been used to describe inelastic scattering and the surface sensitivities of various electron spectroscopies. We show how a realistic theoretical model of electron transport that includes elastic electron scattering can be related, for some analytical situations, to the common simple formalism of AES and XPS in which elastic scattering is neglected. We consider specifically measurements of overlayer thickness, determination of surface composition for a homogeneous surface region and estimation of the average depth of analysis and we indicate which parameter describing inelastic scattering can be utilized in the simple formalism for these applications. Information is given on sources of data for the inelastic mean free path and the attenuation length. Finally, we point out that the definitions of some terms are undergoing revision as a result of recent scientific developments and to avoid inconsistencies with established usage in other fields.

Transitions from the 2PI1/2 PbO- ground state anion to the X1SIGMA+ neutral ground state and three excited states (a 1, b 0, and A 0+) are observed. The adiabatic electron affinity of PbO is determined to be 0.722(6) eV. From a Franck-Condon simulation of the spectrum we obtain r(e)(PbO-) = 1.995(15) angstrom, and observation of vibrational hot bands enables measurement of omega(e)(PbO-) = 588(15) cm-1. Electronic energies of the excited states are reported, and our results identify a new excited state while suggesting a corrected term energy for the b 0- state.

The shock occurred just north of the Mendocino Triple Junction and caused strong ground motion and moderate damage in the immediate area. Rupture initiated onshore at a depth of 10.5 kilometers and propagated up-dip and seaward. Slip on steep faults in the Gorda plate generated two magnitude 6.6 aftershocks on 26 April. The main shock did not produce surface rupture on land but caused coastal uplift and a tsunami. The emerging picture of seismicity and faulting at the triple junction suggests that the region is likely to continue experiencing significant seismicity.

The rate coefficients were measured using both a conventional monochromator/photomultiplier (PMT) system and a diode array spectrometer system. The overall rate coefficient for this reaction was found to be (2.75 +/- 0.50) X 10(-12) cm3 molecule-1 s-1, independent of pressure at 298 K but dependent on pressure at 220 K, ranging from (2.00 +/- 0.41) x 10(-12) at 100 Torr to (3.10 +/- 0.30) x 10(-12) cm3 molecule-1 s-1 at 400 Torr. The relative rate coefficients for the two branches, BrO + BrO --> 2Br + O2 (1a) and BrO + BrO --> Br2 + O2 (1b), were determined at 298 and 220 K. The branching ratio, k1a/k1, was determined to be 0.84 at 298 K and 0.68 at 220 K, independent of pressure. An additional absorption feature with a peak absorption at 312 nm was observed at 220 K and was tentatively attributed to Br2O2. The additional absorption interferes with measurements of k1b using the monochromator/PMT method; however, use of the diode array spectrometer overcomes this problem. A mechanism for reaction 1, based on the formation of a short-lived intermediate, is proposed. An upper limit of 5 X 10(-17) cm3 molecule-1 s-1 at 298 K for the reaction BrO + O3 --> Br + 2 O2 was derived from the analysis of BrO temporal profiles. The atmospheric significance of these findings are discussed. C1 NOAA,ERL,AERON LAB,REAL2,325 BROADWAY,BOULDER,CO 80303. UNIV COLORADO,NOAA,COOPERAT INST RES ENVIRONM SCI,BOULDER,CO 80309.

Cl2O3 was produced following 193-nm pulsed laser photolysis of N2O/Cl2/OClO/He or Cl2-Cl2/OClO/N2 gas mixtures by reaction 1: ClO + OClO + M --> Cl2O3 + M. The absorption spectrum peaks at 267 nm with a cross section of (1.60(-0.22)+0.35) X 10(-17) cm2 (2sigma error limits including estimated systematic errors). The rate coefficient for the forward reaction 1, k1, was measured at temperatures between 200 and 260 K at N2 number densities over the range (1.1-10.9) x 10(18) molecules cm-3. The data were fit using the Troe formalism, with an F(c) fixed at 0.6, to yield k0(300) = (6.2 +/- 1.0) X 10(-32) cm6 molecule-2 s-1, k(infinity) = (2.4 +/- 1.2) X 10(-11) cm3 molecule-1 s-1, and n = 4.7 +/- 0.6 (2sigma error limits). The equilibrium constant for reaction 1, K(eq), was measured at five temperatures over the range 232-258 K. A second law analysis of this data along with data reported by Hayman and Cox [Chem. Phys. Lett. 1989,155, 11 yielded DELTAS-degrees = -21.2 +/- 4.5 cal mol-1 K-1 and DELTAH-degrees = -11.1 +/- 1.2 kcal mol-1 (2sigma error limits of the fit). These photochemical and kinetic results are compared with previously reported values. The kinetic, equilibrium, and photochemical data were included in a photochemical box model of the polar stratosphere to assess the role of Cl2O3 in stratospheric chemistry. On the basis of the results of the model, it is concluded that Cl2O3 does not play a significant role in the polar stratosphere. C1 UNIV COLORADO,NOAA,COOPERAT INST RES ENVIRONM SCI,BOULDER,CO 80309.

The vegetation index and surface temperature values were computed for locations of weather observation stations within the region and compared to observed minimum air temperatures. These comparisons were used to evaluate the use of AVHRR data to assess the influence of the urban environment on observed minimum air temperatures (the urban heat island effect). AVHRR derived normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and radiant surface temperature data from a one week composite product were both related significantly to observed minimum temperatures, however, the vegetation index accounted for a greater amount of the spatial variation observed in mean minimum temperatures. The difference in the NDVI between urban and rural regions appears to be an indicator of the difference in surface properties (i.e., evaporation and heat storage capacity) between the two environments that are responsible for differences in urban and rural minimum temperatures.

In this study we show that the eddy correlation method can be applied within a canopy. Direct measurements of SO2 and O3 deposition to the forest floor of two deciduous forests were made with the eddy correlation method. For dry periods the surface uptake resistance for SO2 was of the order of 700 s m-1. When the soil and litter were moist, the SO2 surface uptake resistance was small, resulting in deposition velocities at the forest floor that were about 2 times greater than during dry periods. SO2 deposition to the forest floor constitutes between 20 and 30% of total uptake to the forest ecosystem when the surface is moist. Soil surface uptake resistances for O3 were about 2000 s m-1 for both wet and dry periods.

Well-defined logarithmic gradients of temperature and HNO3 vapor were measured throughout the experiment, indicating rapid HNO3 vapor deposition to the ground. Measured dry deposition velocities for HNO3 vapor ranged from 0.27 to 4 cm s-1. The collection efficiency for HNO3 vapor varied with sampler location and orientation on the sampling tower, due to concentration depletion by the tower or the sampler itself. We found that our long-term samplers at 8 m may underestimate free tropospheric HNO3 mixing ratios by about 20% due to dry deposition. C1 UNIV HAWAII,DEPT OCEANOG,HONOLULU,HI 96822.

This instrument produces aerosol profiles similar to those obtained with a ground-based lidar system but with higher vertical resolution. In one sounding, depolarization of the PSCs was also measured. The backscattersondes were supplemented with occasional frost point soundings. The measurements made before the appearance of PSCs do not show clear evidence of particle deliquescence, suggesting that the background sulfate particles may be frozen solids rather than liquids. PSCs began appearing at approximately 20 km when the temperature at that altitude dropped to -80-degrees-C (193 K). Initially, there was apparent evidence of supersaturation (with respect to nitric acid trihydrate) associated with some type I PSCs, while other examples indicated that the condensation of nitric acid was in quantitative agreement with that expected from the saturation vapor pressure and available nitric acid vapor. The apparent supersaturated layers (which occurred within the first 2 weeks of the onset of PSCs) can alternatively be interpreted as denitrified regions. The wavelength dependence of the backscatter is used to deduce rough particle sizes, and in particular, type Ia and Ib population types can be readily identified by the backscattersonde when not occurring as mixed systems. The mode radius of the first observed PSCs of the season was approximately 0.5 mum. In the polarization sensitive sounding, two varieties of type I PSCs were observed, one of which exhibited significant depolarization and another which produced very little depolarization. This observation would be consistent with the classification of types Ia and Ib, respectively. At the precise time that sunlight was returning to the stratosphere near South Pole Station, a strong inverse correlation in the structure of PSCs and ozone mixing ratio was observed. Using trajectory analysis, it is argued that the effect is probably the result of chemical depletion rather than transport processes. This chance observation is consistent with enhanced ozone depletion occurring in association with sunlit PSCs during the early spring. C1 NOAA,CLIMATE MONITORING & DIAGNOST LAB,BOULDER,CO 80303.

The tropospheric aerosol record obtained at this background continental site is examined here. All aerosol particle size ranges display pronounced seasonal variations, with the condensation nuclei concentration and the optically active (r greater-than-or-equal-to 0.15 mum) component showing a summer maximum throughout the troposphere. The dominant sources of this aerosol is believed to be photochemically driven gas to particle conversion. Larger particles (r > 1 mum) peak in spring and are probably the result of long range transport of Asian desert dust although there is evidence that sulfate aerosol is also present in these air masses. Mass estimates, assuming spherical sulfate particles, indicate an average column mass between altitudes of 2.5 km (33 m above the surface) and 10 km of about 4 and 16 mg m-2 in winter and summer, respectively. The annual average of about 10 mg m-2 is somewhat larger than estimated with model calculations for sulfate aerosol in this region but is within the uncertainties of model and measurements. Calculated optical depths vary between 0.01 and 0.04 from winter to summer, the estimated mass scattering cross section is about 3 m2 g-1 throughout the troposphere. A distinct anticorrelation exists between the optically active and the condensation nuclei components, resulting in a maximum in the mixing ratio of the latter just below the tropopause where the larger particles generally show a minimum. This relation is due to coagulation of the small, newly nucleated particles with the existing larger particles and to the coagulation for available condensable vapors presented by the larger particles, resulting in an effective new particle source and reservoir region occurring in the upper troposphere. There is evidence for a decreasing trend of 1.6-1.8% per year in the optically active tropospheric aerosol over the past 20 years which may be related to a similar reduction in SO2 emissions in the United States over this period.

The goals of the study are to describe the trends in Arctic tropospheric temperatures and to provide verification data for model simulations of Arctic and global climate. This analysis extends the work of previous researchers by examining rawinsonde time series from a much denser distribution of stations than was previously available and by resolving the vertical distribution of tropospheric temperatures as well. Absolute trends of 3-degrees-C/30yr or larger were found, with both cooling and warming tendencies observed in all layers. The majority of the trends, however, are not statistically significant. Considerable regional and seasonal variability is observed. Trends at many stations in Eurasia and Greenland are highly sensitive to large positive anomalies during the period 1958-1963, which may be artifacts of the data. On the basis of our analysis, we conclude that greenhouse-induced warming is not detectable in the Arctic troposphere for the 1958-1986 period.

The flux measurements were made using new instrument systems, including new CO2 and H2O sensors, low-flow distortion packages, and careful sensor motion correction systems. The flux tower was operated on the windward beach of Florida's Bahia Honda Key, while the boat was stationed upwind between 1 and 15 km offshore. The air-plane flew transects 10 to 20 m above the ocean surface, along flight paths extending from the tower to 40 km offshore. Dissolved CO2 in the coastal waters and atmospheric CO2 concentrations were continuously measured throughout the experiment. The results indicate good agreement among the different sensing systems and demonstrate that air-to-sea trace gas, momentum, and energy flux density measurements are achievable from both a boat and an aircraft. Further, the observations emphasize the complex temporal and spatial trends possible in a coastal region. Due to the nonequilibrated boundary layer, generated by spatial trends, nearshore measurements are not representative of either the entire coastal region or of the open ocean. The observed 10 W m-2 sensible heat flux was time-invariant but did vary spatially with surface temperature, which was strongly cor-related with ocean depth. The 100 to 200 W m-2 evaporative moisture flux dominated energy exchange and varied both in space and in time. No consistent diurnal variation was observed, but the spatial trend also followed surface temperature. As expected, momentum flux scaled with wind speed. CO2 exchange showed large spatial and temporal variance. Spatially, the surface temperature warmed as the shore was approached and CO2 was apparently driven off. Temporally, CO2 exchange varied greatly, as did DETLApCO2 which ranged from +50 to -100 ppm. This large variability in DELTApCO2 is thought to illustrate the importance of biological and physical processes and to explain the large CO2 fluxes observed (not always in the same direction) in this and other flux studies in nearshore conditions. Ten kilometers from shore, where the spatial and temporal variability was less, CO2 transfer velocities were of the order of 0.1 cm s-1. C1 NOAA,AIR RESOURCES LAB,SILVER SPRING,MD 20910.

By applying an electrostatic model of bidirectional, uncharged and monopolar, charged leaders, the main Physical principles are defined for interpretation of common lighting processes. These principles focus on lightning initiation charges on the leader, the leader's electrical potential, the electrical break-down at the leader tip, leader branching and current cutoff, the occurrence of recoil streamers, and the conclusion of lightning Propagation. The bidirectional, uncharged leader model is compared, on both physical grounds and by analyzing the electric field changes, with the conventional model of a unidirectional, uniformly charged leader which originates from a space charge source. These two models are also tested against experimental data obtained with a VHF mapping system and in situ measurements of electric fields in storms on the heights of lightning origins in cloud-to-ground flashes.

The models considered allow the study of the influence of localized surface vibrational modes on the tunnel current observed in scanning tunnelling microscopy. Non-resonant and resonant processes are considered. In the former case, we focus on the behaviour of the total tunnel current when the energy sweeps through an inelastic threshold. In the resonant case, we make contact with analytic theory and consider in detail, using a two-channel Breit-Wigner model, the physics underlying the resonant process, the physical origin of sum-rules obeyed by the tunnelling characteristic, and the conditions under which simple analytic theoretical results can be applied in general.

We report values of mean-sauare end-to-end length [l2] and apparent power-law exponents 2nu = partial derivative ln[l2]/partial derivative ln(N-1) for chains of N beads, for eight values of d from 0.30 to 0.93. For the range of chain lengths reported here, the apparent power-law exponent 2nu is not independent of d but rather shows a smooth, gradual transition from the well-known result for d = 0 to the previously-reported value for d = 1. The variation of 2nu with bead size is remarkably similar to its variation with short-range attractive energy in other models. The results reported here are compared with those obtained by other workers on and off lattices, for hard-sphere and Lennard-Jones potentials, and with predictions of two-parameter and scaling theories.

Analytical time and costs can be greatly reduced by first employing methods that screen for contaminants before selecting samples for rigorous analyses. In this paper, we review the applications of rapid high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) methods to screen for aromatic compounds in sediment, bile and tissue samples. These methods have been used to assess damage to natural resources after the Exxon Valdez oil spill. In addition, the bile screening method has also been used to evaluate contaminants in fish sampled for a national monitoring program. The rapid screening of sediment or bile provides an estimate of contaminant concentrations that can then be confirmed in selected samples by more complicated and expensive analyses by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Furthermore, HPLC and GC-MS chromatographic patterns from sediment and bile can provide information about the source of contamination, e.g., crude oil, diesel fuel or pyrogenic contaminants. We also discuss the important role screening methods will play in the future in assessing the quality of aquatic habitats, the safety of seafood, and other important issues related to anthropogenic contamination.

They will initially have very low concentrations, on the order of a ppt (v/v), in the global atmosphere. Neither gas chromatography-electron-capture detection, nor gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, have adequate sensitivity to measure such concentrations directly from air samples; concentration techniques are required to achieve this. We have examined a range of commercially-available adsorbents, including activated charcoals, carbon molecular sieves, porous polymers, and graphitized carbons, for their suitability as ambient temperature concentrating traps for a range of man-made halocarbons and hydrohalocarbons (CFC-12, CFC-11, CFC-13, HCFC-22, HCFC-123 and HFC-134a). From our measurements of specific retention and desorption volumes it was found that no one adsorbent could both collect all of the target compounds with high efficiency, and also allow efficient recovery by thermal desorption. A sequence of adsorbents is required. We designed a 30 cm long x 0.64 cm O.D. trap containing HayeSep D(B) (a porous polymer), Carboxen 1000 and Carbosieve S-II (both carbon molecular sieves) to collect all of the target compounds from a 5 1 air sample at 25-degrees-C and allow efficient recovery with 500 ml of nitrogen carrier gas at 200-degrees-C. Good comparability was demonstrated between the adsorbent trapping system and direct loop injection analysis for CFC-12 in ambient air. Precision for all of the compounds analyzed with the adsorbent trap was better than 4%, and improved to better than 1% when ratioed to CFC-12.

Tsunamigenic earthquakes have larger seismic moments and T-phase spectral strengths than nontsunamigenic earthquakes. Pacific-wide tsunamigenic earthquakes had well-recorded water waves on the deep-ocean pressure gauges, while water waves for the regional tsunamis could be found only on coastal tide gauges in close proximity to the earthquake epicenters. Thresholds of T-phase spectral strengths required for tsunamigenesis are estimated for each of the areas investigated. On comparing tsunami heights, seismic moments, and spectral strengths for two Pacific-wide tsunamis generated by earthquakes with similar source locations, we note that the earthquake with the larger tsunami has the larger T-phase spectral strength but smaller seismic moment. We conclude that T-phase spectral strengths may be useful in estimating tsunami energy. C1 NOAA,PACIFIC MARINE ENVIRONM LAB,SEATTLE,WA 98115.

The rate constants were found to vary over two orders of magnitude (10(7)-10(9) L mol-1 s-1) and to correlate with the Hildebrand solubility parameter (cohesive energy density) of the solvent better than with any other single solvent parameter. The correlation was satisfactory for ClPz and did not improve significantly by including additional parameters. For trolox, however, the correlation was relatively poor but was improved considerably by taking into account the basicity of the solvent. This effect is due to the transfer of a proton upon the oxidation of trolox. C1 NATL INST STAND & TECHNOL,DIV CHEM KINET & THERMODYNAM,GAITHERSBURG,MD 20899.

Twenty-level quasigeostrophic and primitive equation models with channel geometry are numerically integrated with the most unstable linear normal mode as an initial condition. The flows are inviscid except for weak second-order horizontal diffusion. It is found that the finite-amplitude baroclinic waves are sensitively influenced by the vertically integrated eddy momentum flux of the normal mode via the large barotropic shear it spins up in the mean flow. This ''barotropic governor'' mechanism prevents the eddy from attaining all the available potential energy stored in the domain, leading to irreversible barotropic decay. Only in the purely baroclinic, f-plane, quasigeostrophic problem, where the vertically integrated eddy momentum flux identically vanishes due to symmetry, is the growth of baroclinic waves unaffected by the barotropic governor and bounded solely by the total available potential energy. Barotropic shear in the basic flow, the earth's spherical geometry, and nonquasigeostrophic motion all introduce spatial asymmetry into the normal mode. whose nonlinear evolution therefore rapidly departs from the purely baroclinic solution. The details of the departure depend sensitively on the shape of the initial asymmetry, however.

The basic state of the linear model is time dependent and is derived from the mean zonal wind and temperature obtained from a simulation with the full SKYHI model. The latent and convective heating fields of this SKYHI integration are used as the forcing for the linear model in a parallel simulation. The wavelength and frequency characteristics of the prominent vertically propagating equatorial Kelvin and Rossby-gravity waves are remarkably similar in the linear model and in SKYHI. Amplitudes are also similar in the lower stratosphere, indicating that the latent and convective heating is the dominant mechanism producing equatorial wave activity in the GCM. The amplitude of these waves in the upper stratosphere and mesosphere is larger in the linear model than in SKYHI. Given that the linear and SKYHI models have comparable radiative damping and horizontal subgrid scale diffusion, it appears that the wave amplitudes in SKYHI are limited by some nonlinear saturation, possibly involving the subgrid-scale vertical mixing. At low latitudes the linear model reproduces the flux of upward-propagating inertia-gravity waves seen in the full model. The results also show that a significant fraction of the inertia-gravity wave activity found in the midlatitude mesosphere of the SKYHI model can be accounted for by tropical convective heating. The global-scale Rossby normal modes seen in observations were also identified in the analyses of westward-propagating planetary waves in both models. They are of realistic amplitude in the SKYHI simulation but are much weaker in the linear model. Thus, it appears that latent and convective heating is not the main source of excitation for the Rossby normal modes.

EMLs can be considered a subset of a larger class, called residual layers, since the mean state variables are the same, at least initially, as those of the boundary layers in which EMLs are formed. It is possible, however, for boundary or residual layers that are not necessarily well mixed to be advected off regions of elevated terrain and overrun boundary layers forming over lower terrain. These layers are called elevated residual layers (ERLs); ERLs may form frequently in regions near mountains where terrain gradients exist. A simple slab mixed-layer model is used to examine how idealized ERL potential temperature profiles influence surface boundary-layer development. In addition, several regionally generated ERLs were observed over Phoenix, Arizona, during the Southwest Area Monsoon Project. These ERLs appear to have produced a change from moistening to entrainment-drying surface boundary-layer regimes. The thermodynamic structure of an ERL is determined by the processes that form the boundary layer, the timing and vertical extent of boundary-layer detachment from the elevated terrain relative to the diurnal heating cycle, and the vertical motion field (if any) accompanying the horizontal advection of the ERL away from the elevated terrain. Results suggest that the creation and evolution of ERLs may be important aspects of surface boundary-layer development in regions near and downstream of elevated terrain.

Yet these effects could be very significant, as persistent increases in global mean temperatures may ultimately influence the large-scale processes in the coupled ocean-atmosphere system that are thought to play a central part in determining global climate. The thermohaline circulation is one such process - Broecker has argued11 that it may have undergone abrupt changes in response to rising temperatures and ice-sheet melting at the end of the last glacial period. Here we use a coupled ocean-atmosphere climate model to study the evolution of the world's climate over the next few centuries, driven by doubling and quadrupling of the concentration of atmospheric CO2. We find that the global mean surface air temperature increases by about 3.5 and 7-degrees-C, respectively, over 500 years, and that sea-level rise owing to thermal expansion alone is about 1 and 2 m respectively (ice-sheet melting could make these values much larger). The thermal and dynamical structure of the oceans changes markedly in the quadrupled-CO2 climate - in particular, the ocean settles into a new stable state in which the thermohaline circulation has ceased entirely and the thermocline deepens substantially. These changes prevent the ventilation of the deep ocean and could have a profound impact on the carbon cycle and biogeochemistry of the coupled system.

Many smaller, rapid flares are superposed on a general doubling of the intensity. During the 5d period when sampling was roughly continuous, the rapid flaring had an apparent quasi-periodic nature, with peaks repeating every approximately 0.d7. The short- and long-wavelength ultraviolet light curves are well correlated with each other, and with the optical light curve deduced from the Fine Error Sensor (FES) on IUE. The formal lag is zero, but the cross-correlation is asymmetric in the sense that the shorter wavelength emission leads the longer. The ultraviolet spectral shape varies a small but significant amount. The correlation between spectral shape and intensity is complicated; an increase in intensity is associated with spectral hardening, but lags behind the spectral change by approximately 1 day. The sign of the correlation is consistent with the nonthermal acceleration processes expected in relativistic plasmas, so that the present results are consistent with relativistic jet models, which can also account for quasi-periodic flaring. In contrast, currently proposed accretion disk models are strongly ruled out by the simultaneous optical and ultraviolet variability. C1 UNIV MILAN,DEPT PHYS,I-20133 MILAN,ITALY.

As the typical lifetime of a pulsar greatly exceeds that of the remnant of the supernova explosion in which it was born, the relativistic wind from older pulsars should interact directly with the interstellar medium; this can give rise to observable pulsar-wind nebulae3. Here we report the detection by the X-ray satellite Rosat of a different type of nebula, associated with the nearby pulsar PSR1929 + 10. The nebula appears as a linear diffuse X-ray feature in the direction opposite to the pulsar's proper motion. In this case, the pulsar wind appears to be confined by the ram-pressure arising from the high velocity of the pulsar through the interstellar medium, resulting in a trail of relativistic electrons with enhanced emissions of synchrotron radiation. Many such nebulae may exist in the solar neighbourhood, but they will be difficult to detect except in those relatively rare cases where the traits point nearly towards us.

The graft copolymer consists of a polydisperse elastomeric poly(ethyl acrylate) (PEA) backbone onto which monodisperse thermoplastic polystyrene (PS) chains are grafted. The homopolymer poly(ethyl acrylate) is produced in situ since grafts are not incorporated into every chain. The 'quasi-equilibrium'' structure of the graft copolymer blend cast from a good solvent exhibits isotropic scattering (i.e., appearance of a spinodal ring) with an inverse characteristic length q(m) almost-equal-to 4 mum-1. When the blend is subject to a quasi-static elongation ratio lambda (=final length/initial length), three regimes are observed: (i) A transition regime at very low elongation ratios where the system behaves reversibly. (ii) A hyperelastic regime where the spinodal ring deforms in an anisotropic manner, i.e., ellipsoid-shaped scattering elongated in the direction perpendicular to the applied strain. The intensity I(parallel-to) (q(z)) parallel to the elongation increases in an exponential manner due to cooperative alignment of the hard PS-rich phase, and its peak position shifts in an affine manner to smaller values (i.e., q(zm) approximately lambda-1). Moreover, the scattered light perpendicular to the elongation, I(perpendicular-to) (q(y)), decreases in intensity as its peak position q(ym) diverges to infinity. (iii) A plastic regime where I(parallel-to)(q(z)) remains nearly constant as its position q(zm) converges to a finite value at q(zm) almost-equal-to 0.9 mum-1. In the three regimes, the structure factor parallel to the elongation, S(parallel-to)(q(z)), remains self-similar. The underlying mechanism of the deformation will be discussed within the framework of concentration fluctuations in ''soft'' elastic two-component solids. C1 ARGONNE NATL LAB,ARGONNE,IL 60439.

Using a square-wave shape for the resolution function perpendicular to the scattering plane but an arbitrary in-plane shape, it is calculated how the resolution affects line shapes when the scattering vector is scanned parallel to the surface (Q(parallel-to) scans). The approach used is to measure the line shape in Q(parallel-to) scans at small Q(z) and from this to determine how the Q(parallel-to) line shapes depend on Q(z). Line shapes calculated in this manner are compared with data from an Ag(111) surface with excellent agreement, confirming the treatment. A similar approach is used to calculate the resolution correction that is needed to convert the measured diffraction-rod intensities into structure factors. Measurements of both peak intensity and integrated intensities in rocking scans are treated and the results are compared with those of previous treatments. Finally, the active sample area for an incident beam that is spatially nonuniform is calculated, as appropriate for experiments using focusing optics and wide incident slits. This approach accounts for the active area more accurately than the usual calculation assuming a uniform rectangular beam. The results described in this paper permit a better understanding of the effects of instrumental resolution on the line shapes of surface diffraction rods, enable more accurate determination of structure factors along these rods and are valid for nearly all Q(z).

For generally quiet conditions a global network of ionosonde data, supported by topside sounder observations of the Intercosmos 1806 satellite, were compared with the International Reference Ionosphere (IRI). The comparisons included F-region peak characteristics, N(m) F2 (i.e., f0 F2) and h(m) F2, as well as topside height profiles N(e) (z). Overall, the IRI specification of f0 F2 was found to be higher than the observations. The difference in the daytime hemispheres was nearly twice that in the night-time hemispheres, with no obvious bias in universal time nor in phenomenological domains (e.g., equatorial anomaly, mid-to-high latitudes, etc.). With regard to h(m) F2 and topside profiles, a small data sample shows relatively good agreement with the IRI. In the topside N(e) (z) comparisons there was good qualitative agreement in shape; but there were quantitative differences resulting from differences in N(m) F2. To improve IRI specifications at high latitudes comparisons also included Feldstein, DMSP, and NOAA/TIROS auroral oval models and their relative agreements with satellite-borne particle measurements of oval boundaries. The NOAA/TIROS model demonstrates the largest range in dynamic oval boundary responses to magnetic activity. It was also found to be in the best agreement with observations and appears to offer highest promise for a proper high-latitude adjunct to the IRI and an improved empirical specification of ionospheric distributions in auroral zones.

We identify several regimes that permit measurement of different surface parameters and functions, and we establish approximate limits for each regime. Using a straightforward criterion, we calculate that the smooth-surface regime, in which the angular distribution of scattered light is closely related to the power spectral density of the roughness, ranges over 0 < sigma/lambda less than or similar to 0.05, where sigma is the rms roughness and lambda is the opitcal wavelength. Above that the surface autocorrelation function may be calculated from a Fourier transform of the angular distribution over 0 < sigma/lambda less than or similar to 0.14. Then comes the specular regime where the specular beam can still be identified and measured over 0 < sigma/lambda less than or similar to 0.3. For all these regimes and for rougher surfaces too, the rms width of the scatter distribution is proportional to the rms slope of the surface.

We have considered noncontact ultrasonic techniques as complementary to optical techniques in several ways: (a) for specific applications such as wet surfaces, (b) for rougher surfaces with average roughness, R(a) greater-than-or-equal-to 0.1 mum, and (c) for (simultaneous) profilometry by time-of-flight measurements. Stylus and ultrasonic data are compared. An example of application to the manufacturing environment is for on-line, real-time sensor feedback and process control in the cutting or grinding of metals and ceramics.

Previous reports of H. wrightii in North Carolina have been limited to observations of sterile plants. During June through August 1990, and in May 1991, we observed and photographed male and female flowers of H. wrightii collected between Cape Lookout and Oregon Inlet, North Carolina. Although we did not find seeds of H. wrightii in the sediment of that region, seeds were found south of Cape Lookout in Bogue Sound in 1991. Our observations confirm that Dare County, North Carolina, is the northern limit for occurrence of H. wrightii along the Atlantic coast of North America.

Twelve stars (=21%) were detected at the primary observing wavelength of 3.6 cm, on the basis that greater-than-or-equal-to 4 sigma radio sources lie within 1'' of the optical positions. Four additional stars show greater-than-or-equal-to 4 sigma radio sources within 1''-2'' of the optical positions and are classified as possible detections. Upper limits for undetected stars are typically less-than-or-equal-to 0.1 mJy (3 sigma) at 3.6 cm, making this one of the most sensitive stellar radio surveys yet conducted. Multiwavelength (2-20 cm) follow-up observations yielded estimates of the spectral index alpha (S(epsilon) is-proportional-to epsilon(alpha)) for nine stars and served as a cursory check for radio variability. Several lines of evidence suggest that the radio emission is predominantly thermal and in many cases wind-related. This evidence includes (1) the failure to detect circular polarization, (2) the failure to detect significant short-term (less-than-or-equal-to days) flux variability in a limited monitoring program, (3) partially resolved radio emission in at least five stars, indicating brightness temperatures less-than-or-equal-to 10(4) K, (4) the presence of mass-loss signatures in 9 of 12 detections, and (5) spectral indices for three stars which are in good agreement with the value alpha = +0.6 expected for free-free wind emission. The unusual eclipsing binary TY CrA is an exception and is classified as a nonthermal radio source on the basis of its decidedly negative spectral index (alpha = - 1.2). Nonthermal emission also remains a possibility for MWC 137, whose radio flux decreased significantly on a time scale of less-than-or-equal-to 5 months. However, the classification of these two objects as Herbig Ae/Be stars is in doubt. Although the number of detections is small, the available data suggest a correlation between 3.6 cm luminosity and bolometric luminosity, with a near-linear power-law dependence of the form L3.6 cm is-proportional-to L(bol)+0.9+/-0.1. Furthermore, ionized mass-loss rates obey the relation M(ion) is-proportional-to L(bol)+0.6+/-0.15, which is in good agreement with previous results for pre-main-sequence stars. There is a paucity of detections later than spectral type almost-equal-to A2, and a similar trend has also been noticed in a recent VIA survey of magnetic Ap/Bp stars. In both cases, the inability to detect later A-type stars is attributed to the rapid decrease in wind ionization toward lower effective temperatures. It has been proposed that a large fraction of Herbig Ae/Be stars are surrounded by accretion disks and are accreting at rates of approximately 10(-6) to 10(-5) M. yr-1. Using a simple, spherically symmetric, free-fall accretion model, the predicted radio fluxes due to accretion at these rates are found to be one to four orders of magnitude larger than observed. This implies that the accretion rates have been overestimated, or that the accretion process is sufficiently complex that spherical, free-fall theory does not apply.

Thus, it is possible for identical measured values to result in different reported dewpoints. On the basis of a sample of conversion methods, we calculate the possible differences among the national practices. In general, the discrepancies are not large and would often be lost in the usual round-off procedures associated with transmission over the Global Telecommunications System, but in cold, dry conditions dewpoints different by more than 1-degrees-C could be reported for identical conditions. Some of the methods have been changed over time, so there is also the possibility of inhomogeneities in climate records.

Oral histories and letters of reminiscence from these scientists are used with standard source material to reconstruct the conditions of postwar Japan. The principal results of the study are that 1) these scientists were among the intellectual elite, because of the rigorous screening process in the Japanese educational system; 2) their scientific education was fundamentally grounded in traditional physics and a wide range of geophysical sciences; 3) they all experienced austere living conditions and poor job prospects in the war-torn Japanese economy; and 4) they made a strong scientific connection with U.S. researchers in the areas of numerical experimentation and numerical weather prediction, which faciliated their move to the United States.

Pubescent females were restricted to shallow water; males grasping them were significantly smaller than those grasping oldshell multiparous females with eyed embryos in a large, deepwater mating aggregation. Males appeared to select for large sizes among pubescent females, but not among multiparous females, which were limited in size range. Grasping males were 82.6-166.2 mm carapace width (CW) (xBAR = 114.8) and represented at least three different width frequency modes; all were larger than their female partners. Paired females represented two modes with mean CW almost-equal-to 77 mm for pubescent and 99 mm for multiparous individuals. Only one to three of 176 male graspers were small-clawed (morphometrically immature), a statistically nonsignificant proportion; several others had partially regenerated claws but were otherwise morphometrically mature, as evidenced by the second right merus. These data support the hypothesis that the attainment of morphometric maturity, evidenced by a relatively large chela to body size ratio, is a prerequisite for functional maturity, the ability to mate competitively in wild populations.

BaP is a putative hepatocarcinogen in English sole based on its ability to induce formation of preneoplastic foci, while DBC is a hepatocarcinogen in mammals but whose carcinogenicity in fish is not known. English sole liver was sampled from 2 h through 84 days after a single intermuscular injection of a BaP and DBC mixture (100 mumol of each/kg body wt.), and DNA adduct levels were measured by the nuclease Pl version of the P-32-postlabeling assay. The major BaP adducts detected were from binding of BaP-7,8-diol-9,10-epoxide to DNA, whereas multiple uncharacterized DBC-DNA adducts were detected. Total adduct levels for both BaP and DBC reached a maximum at 2 days post exposure. The levels of DBC-DNA adducts were greater than the levels of BaP adducts at all time points and increased more rapidly than did the levels of BaP-DNA adducts. The DBC to BaP adduct ratio was 33 +/- 8.8 at 2 h and declined to 4.2 +/- 0.48 by 12 h post exposure. From 2 to 28 days, the levels of both BaP and DBC adducts declined with apparent half-lives of 11 and 13 days, respectively. There was no apparent decline from 28 to 84 days in the levels of the remaining BaP or DBC adducts; these persistent adducts represented 32 and 36% of maximum levels, respectively. These results provide the first data on the kinetics of adduct formation and removal of a carcinogenic nitrogen-containing polycyclic aromatic compound in fish. The results showing greater binding and similar persistence of DBC-DNA adducts compared to BaP-DNA adducts suggest that DBC may be hepatotoxic and potentially carcinogenic in English sole. In a separate experiment, the effect of multiple doses of BaP (30 mumol/kg body wt.) on the levels of hepatic BaP-DNA adducts showed that adduct levels increased linearly (r = 0.815, P = 0.0007) with 5 successive doses administered at 2 day-intervals and sampled 2 days after the last dose. The persistence of both BaP-DNA and DBC-DNA adducts in liver, together with the increase in BaP-DNA adducts in English sole exposed to successive doses of BaP, suggest that hepatic xenobiotic-DNA adducts in English sole are molecular dosimeters of relatively longterm environmental exposure to genotoxic polycyclic aromatic compounds.

Thanks to tremendous technical advances and many industrial applications in Japan, fuzzy logic enjoys an unprecedented popularity. An equally important issue is the educational need for training the students of engineering and science for both theory and experiments with fuzzy logic. In this paper one such educational experience is described. The paper is organized as follows: Section 2 will provide some computational and simulation experience, while the experimental experiences for real-time fuzzy control will be given in the next section. Conclusions and future work will be given next. A number of examples will be given to illustrate the efforts.

The Florida Reef Tract included some of the first documented cases, with widespread bleaching of the massive coral Montastrea annularis beginning in late August. Phototransects at Carysfort Reef showed discoloration of >90% of colonies of this species in March 1988 compared to 0% in July 1986; however no mortality was observed between 1986 and 1988. Samples of corals collected in February and June 1988 had zooxanthellae densities ranging from 0.1 in the most lightly colored corals, to 1.6 x 10(6) cells/cm2 in the darker corals. Minimum densities increased to 0.5 x 10(6) cells/cm2 by August 1989. Chlorophyll-a content of zooxanthellae and zooxanthellar mitotic indices were significantly higher in corals with lower densities of zooxanthellae, suggesting that zooxanthellae at low densities may be more nutrient-sufficient than those in unbleached corals. Ash-free dry weight of coral tissue was positively correlated with zooxanthellae density at all sample times and was significantly lower in June 1988 compared to August 1989. Proteins and lipids per cm2 were significantly higher in August 1989 than in February or June, 1988. Although recovery of zooxanthellae density and coral pigmentation to normal levels may occur in less than one year, regrowth of tissue biomass and energy stores lost during the period of low symbiont densities may take significantly longer.

The host crab died subsequent to hatching of the fish eggs in one incident, but not in another. Because of gill damage caused by the egg mass, the fish-crab relationship is properly termed parasitism rather than commensalism. Two of 14 ovigerous females were parasitized, while no infected males were found in 824 examined, although evidence of parasitism of male crabs was found.

The equilibrium magnetization and surface barrier are modelled by an applied field dependent surface supercurrent density j(s)(H), whose presence changes the boundary field of the bulk. The volume supercurrents flow with a density equal to the internal field dependent critical current density J(c)(H(i)). The magnetization M is produced by both supercurrents. For the M(H) curve computation, exponential-type Jc(H(i)) and j(s)(H) values are used for the general case of an infinite sample of rectangular cross-section. A comparison between the experimental magnetization curves of a sintered YBa2Cu3O7 superconductor at 76 K and the model fit shows that j(s)(H) is null for the coupling matrix, whereas a non-zero j(s)(H) is needed for the grains. The model fit for the irreversible magnetization of the grains is improved by including a surface barrier to the entry and exit of flux.

Off-axis temperature-salinity characteristics and water-property maps suggest a history of variability in hydrothermal activity on the ridge. Distinctive bulges in theta-S curves from stations several hundred kilometers westward have characteristics very similar to those near and over the ridge, possibly representing plume remnants from prior venting which detached from the source and drifted with the regional circulation. If they were advected from the ridge at about 1 cm s-1, they would represent venting events which occurred 2-3 years earlier. Although not conclusive, currents observed on the ridge in 1984-1985 showed a 6-month winter interval of continuous off-axis flow to the west, but, unfortunately, it occurred between annual shipboard observations. Year-to-year variations are shown by relatively large increases in the near-ridge potential temperatures from 1987 to 1988, possibly suggesting another event that may propagate westward. The thermal observations here are consistent with simultaneous distributions of silica, suspended particulates and helium described by others. The variations in temperature, as well as flow variability near the ridge, are sufficiently large that they need to be considered when interpreting other water column observations, not only near hydrothermally active ridges but also at least several hundred kilometers away from the venting sites.

Estimates of the relative contribution of each discharge type, which are important for the accurate determination of local and global hydrothermal budgets, are difficult to obtain directly. In this paper we describe a new method of using measurements of hydrothermal tracers such as Fe/Mn, Fe/heat, and Mn/heat in high-temperature fluids, low-temperature fluids, and the neutrally buoyant plume to deduce the relative contribution of each discharge type. We sampled vent fluids from the north Cleft vent field on the Juan de Fuca Ridge in 1988, 1989 and 1991, and plume samples every year from 1986 to 1991. The tracers were, on average, 3 to 90 times greater in high-temperature than in low-temperature fluids, with plume values intermediate. A mixing model calculates that high-temperature fluids contribute only approximately 3% of the fluid mass flux but > 90% of the hydrothermal Fe and > 60% of the hydrothermal Mn to the overlying plume. Three years of extensive camera-CTD sled tows through the vent field show that diffuse venting is restricted to a narrow fissure zone extending for 18 km along the axial strike. Linear plume theory applied to the temperature plumes detected when the sled crossed this zone yields a maximum likelihood estimate for the diffuse heat flux of 8.9 X 10(4) W/m, for a total flux of 534 MW, considering that diffuse venting is active along only one-third of the fissure system. For mean low- and high-temperature discharge of 25-degrees-C and 319-degrees-C, respectively, the discrete heat flux must be 266 MW to satisfy the mass flux partitioning. If the north Cleft vent field is globally representative, the assumption that high-temperature discharge dominates the mass flux in axial vent fields leads to an overestimation of the flux of many non-conservative hydrothermal species by about an order of magnitude.

It has been suggested that the structure of such groups may influence the vital rates, and hence the fitness, of their members. To test this suggestion we used data from a long-term study of killer whales in the Pacific Northwest (Bigg et al. 1990). We constructed stage-classified matrix population models for the entire population, two sub-populations, and individuals pods. The population growth rate for the entire population is lambda = 1.0254, with 90% bootstrap confidence interval from 1.0178 to 1.0322. The mean female population stage distribution is not significantly different from the predicted stable stage distribution. Population growth rate is most sensitive to changes in adult and juvenile survival, followed by fertility. Factors that cause even small changes in survival will thus have a large impact on population growth. Pod-specific growth rates range from lambda = 0.9949 to lambda = 1.0498. Most of the interpod variance in growth rate is due to variance in adult reproductive output. Randomization tests show that this variance is not significantly greater than expected on the basis of variation in individual life histories within the population. We conclude that there is no evidence for an effect of social structure on pod-specific population growth rate. The restriction of population growth rates to such a narrow range suggests, but does not prove, a possible role for density-dependent processes.

Five molecular descriptors (molecular volume, Henry's law constant, n-octanol/water partition coefficient (K(ow)), molecular connectivity, and linear solvation energy) were used in regression analysis as potential predictors of insecticidal activity. The regressions were conducted for each descriptor against toxicity values for the series of chemicals. Molecular volume and Henry's law constant showed no relationship with toxicity. However, log K(ow) was moderately successful in describing the effect of sediment on toxicity (r2 = 0.508). Prediction of toxicity was substantially improved when a linear solvation energy (LSE) or molecular connectivity (MC) model was used in regressions. In multiple regressions conducted on carbamates and OPs separately, use of MC or LSE parameters explained up to 95.8% of the variability in toxicity. Based on the results of regression analyses, sorptive interactions between these insecticides and sediment apparently dominate the processes affecting the toxicity of these compounds when sediment is present. In the absence of sediment, the regressions suggest that the molecular structure of the insecticides is more important than solubility or partitioning for determining toxicity.

Structural analyses have shown that SL belongs to the growth hormone/prolactin family, and that it is a highly conserved protein. SL is synthesized by the periodic acid/Schiff-positive cells in the pars intermedia, but has an as yet unidentified function(s). We have recently developed a homologous radioimmunoassay for coho salmon SL and measured plasma levels of SL during two stages of the coho salmon life cycle, smoltification and sexual maturation. During smoltification, plasma levels of SL changed almost in parallel with plasma levels of thyroxine; levels increased as morphological indices of smoltification appeared and decreased as smoltification was completed. Following this period, SL levels remained low until the spring prior to spawning. In a separate study, plasma levels of SL were measured in sexually maturing coho salmon that remained in fresh water throughout their life cycle. During the year of sexual maturation, plasma levels of SL gradually increased from the spring onward, reaching peak levels at the time of spawning in November and December. These data are similar to those previously reported for sexually maturing coho salmon that were maintained in seawater prior to spawning (Rand-Weaver et al. 1992). Therefore, increases in plasma SL levels occurred in sexually maturing fish irrespective of whether they were maintained in fresh water or seawater. Peak levels at spawning were higher than those observed during smoltification. Possible roles for SL in metabolism and reproduction are discussed. C1 NW FISHERIES SCI CTR,SEATTLE,WA 98112.

Ultrastructural characteristics of GTHI- and GTHII-producing cells were studied in the trout pituitary with electron-microscopic immunocytochemistry using antisera against salmon GTHIbeta- and IIbeta-subunits. In pituitaries from vitellogenic fish, GTHI-cells were characterized by numerous dilated cisternae of the granular endoplasmic reticulum (GER) and a small number of Ibeta-positive granules (diameter, 100-300 nm), whereas GTHIIbeta-immunoreactivity was found on granules (diameter, 200-400 nm) and large globules (diameter, 500-4000 nm) in apparently different cells (GTHII-cells). Distinct cellular distributions of GTHI and GTHII were maintained during gametogenesis, although morphological characteristics of GTHI- and GTHII-cells over-lapped each other due to changes in number and size of the granules, globules and cisternae of the GER. Interestingly, the globules in the GTHI-cells were immunonegative for GTHIbeta, although in the GTHII-cells they were always stained with GTHIIbeta-antiserum. These results confirm that GTHIbeta and GTHIIbeta are synthesized in distinctly different cell-types in the salmonid pituitary and indicate that morphological characteristics cannot be used to distinguish these two cell-types.

External morphology, pigmentation, and meristic features are described which distinguish larvae of these species from other agonids occurring in these waters. Postanal pigment patterns, particularly on the caudal finfold, distinguish preflexion larvae. Odontopyxis trispinosa larvae possess a semicircular patch of melanophores that covers nearly the entire caudal finfold. The caudal finfold of preflexion X. latifrons larvae are void of pigment with the exception of a small patch of melanophores near the ventral margin of the notochord tip. Flexion and postflexion larvae can be distinguished by caudal and anal fin pigmentation, head spination, and adult meristic features.

The effects of year-round fishery closures on harvests in adjacent, exploited areas were evaluated. Potential changes in spawning stock biomass per recruit (SSB/R) and yield per recruit (Y/R), when varying fractions of exploitable reef area were closed to fishing, were estimated from published data, approximated natural and fishing mortality rates, size- and maturity-at-age distributions, and ''transfer'' (emigration and immigration) rates. For select cases, fundamental transfer rates were adjusted for possible density-dependent emigration from closed areas as relative densities decreased in surrounding non-closed areas because of continued fishing. Three hypothetical ''fish types'' were constructed, bracketing the likely extremes in fundamental transfer rates and related life-history parameters of Pacific coral reef fishes: a small-bodied, fast-growing and short-lived, strongly philopatric species of damselfish was contrasted with a large-bodied, relatively slow-growing, long-lived, vagile species of jack. A ''surgeonfish'' type was used to represent intermediate parameter values. Simulations corroborate previous observations that MFRs contribute little, if anything, towards increasing Y/R. Results for the highly vagile jack confirm that rapid transfer rates will negate potential gains in SSB/R resulting from closures. At the opposite extreme, small reef philopatriots like damselfishes would almost never be harvested, because of negligible transfer rates, unless the MFR was periodically opened to fishing. The simulations suggest that the SSB/R of the surgeonfish type is the most likely to benefit from MFRs, because moderate vagility allows biomass to accumulate within the closure despite harvesting in the non-closed area. Results further suggest that growth rate, fishing effort in the non-closed (open) area, natural mortality, and maturity and harvesting schedules importantly influence the potential of MFRs to augment SSB when transfer rates are low to moderate.

Testing for the presence of allometric trends with size in the parameters used to estimate these energy fluxes is important because if such trends exist and are large, it will be inappropriate to apply measurements derived from one size of animal to animals of other sizes, in any given population. To test for (and to measure, if present) allometric effects in a population of small cetaceans, morphological measurements (energetics parameters) related to estimating energy flux were taken from 35 spotted dolphins (Stenella attenuata) ranging in size from 77 to 210 cm total length, captured incidental to fishing operations in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean. Significant allometric (nonlinear) changes with size were observed in 23 of the 25 parameters measured; no trends were isometric (linear). Most of the significant trends were expressed primarily during the first two or three years of life (5-30 kg wet weight). Thus, parameter estimates for small dolphins (less than about 30 kg wet weight) should be derived from measurements on animals near the specific size of interest. Estimates for larger animals, with the exception of several surface area measurements, could be estimated reasonably well from any specimens greater than about 30 kg wet. Although the energy fluxes and standing stock of energy represented by animals younger than 2-3 years are relatively small compared with the total population, constraints resulting from the energy characteristics of the smaller animals may exert significant control over population energy flux, implying that the rapid changes in energetics parameters of the younger animals should not be ignored.

Reliance on this index was dictated by the peculiarity of the sea-mount life history stage in which armorhead cease somatic growth soon after recruitment to the seamount and FI declines during seamount residence until death. Limited sampling opportunities and variability in FI at the time of recruitment preclude the exclusive use of FI as a means of identifying newly arrived recruits among recruits-of-the-year and hence the timing of annual recruitment. Settlement and recruitment to the seamount population are synonymous. Efforts to develop a method of identifying new recruits were initiated by an examination of epipelagic and seamount (SE Hancock) armorhead for differences in macroparasites as well as hepatosomatic and visceral fat-somatic indices. Of the two condition indices, the hepatosomatic index held the most potential but was considered too labile because pre-recruits probably experience decreases that vary according to energetic demands during seamount migration. The monogenean gill parasite Microcotyle macropharynx was highly prevalent among seamount individuals in all sampling periods but absent from epipelagics. Based on probable rapid infection and maturation, identification of new recruits was based on the absence of mature M. macrophaynx. Results indicate that significant new recruitment occurred only during the late spring to midsummer sampling periods, and the mean FI of new seamount recruits was lower than that of comparable size epipelagics.

Data were obtained from plankton samples collected bimonthly with a 0.333-mm mesh net throughout a ten-year period: 1977-86. Biomass was measured by displacement volume and the dominant species analyzed were the copepods Calanus finmarchicus, Pseudocalanus minutus, Centropages typicus, Centropages hamatus, and Metridia lucens. Biomass levels were high in 1977 through 1979, low in 1982 through 1984. Biomass and copepod abundance in the spring of 1977 were extraordinary. Measurements over the entire bank were two to three times above a ten-year median. Unlike the first five years of monitoring, the average seasonal biomass cycle was not coherent from 1982 through 1986. Departures from the average seasonal cycle occurred several times during the second half of the time series, Calanus finmarchicus and Pseudocalanus minutus abundance trends were nearly identical, suggesting that their populations may be affected by similar factors. Centropages hamatus abundance in the central shoal depth zone (<61 m) was related to surface temperature variability and its spring abundance estimates were indirectly proportional to the abundance of other dominant copepods. Centropages typicus counts in autumn 1985 were nearly double all other years, and Metridia lucens abundance surged in late spring 1979 but was low from 1983 through 1986.

Acceptance of analytic assessment results for bluefish has been hindered by the lack of a consistent time series of geographically comprehensive age-length keys for converting bluefish lengths to age. We used bluefish length-age data from North Carolina commercial fisheries during 1986 to 1989 to compare the utility of two simple methods for estimating age from length-frequency data with two more rigorous statistical methods. The simple methods were cohort slicing using von Bertalanffy growth parameters for bluefish and the application of a pooled age-length key compiled with data from different times and fishing areas. The two statistical approaches were the iterated age-length key method and MULTIFAN. Combined 1986-1989 proportions at age estimated by cohort slicing, pooled age-length key, and iterated age-length key methods were significantly different from those in the test data, based on a quantitative comparison using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov cumulative distribution test. Proportions at age estimated by MUTLTIFAN were not significantly different from the test data. Our work suggests that MULTIFAN is the best alternative to a time series of fishery-specific age-length keys for the estimation of Atlantic coast bluefish ages from length data.

We show the ability of these methods to resolve weather signals from ground clutter in unfavorable conditions, i.e., when the clutter is stronger and its spectrum is narrower than that of the signal. Given a priori information about the ground clutter, Prony's method can be applied and simplified to derive a convenient formula for mean Doppler frequency estimation. This estimator may be considered as a generalization of the pulse-pair (PP) estimator and it can give satisfactory results in resolving weather signals from ground clutter for signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) above 20 dB. The eigende composition-based minimum (MN) method is applied to lower the SNR threshold to 10 dB. The performance of these estimators is compared with the signal-only lower bound and with a processor consisting of various ground clutter filters and the PP estimator.

However, depending on the relative clamping voltages of the two devices, their separation distance, and the waveform of the impinging surges, the coordination may or may not be effective. The paper provides computations with experimental verification of the energy deposited in the devices for a matrix of combinations of these three parameters. Results show coordination to be effective for some combinations and ineffective for some others, which is a finding that should reconcile contradictory conclusions reported by different authors making different assumptions. From these results, improved coordination can be developed by application standards writers and system designers. C1 ELECTR POWER RES INST,CTR POWER ELECTR APPLICAT,KNOXVILLE,TN 37932.

Multi-criteria decision tools that include nonfinancial impacts avoid this bias. One such tool, the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), has been modified for the manufacturing environment and incorporated into AutoMan, decision support software for microcomputers. The modified AHP is used here to decide on the best way to automate a machine shop. The four steps are: (1) specify criteria and alternatives; (2) weight criteria using pairwise comparison judgments; (3) rate alternatives with respect to criteria; and (4) compute the overall weighted score for each alternative. This approach preserves existing reliable financial information and integrates it with both nonfinancial quantitative performance data and qualitative informed judgments. Judgments are made explicit and checked for consistency. Over 800 industrial managers have purchased AutoMan to improve their automation decisions.

We have used our own measurements of diffusion of benzene and toluene in supercritical carbon dioxide, along with measurements from several other sources, to illustrate some of the experimental challenges. Special attention is given to the peak shape. The intercomparisons are greatly simplified by comparing the experimental data as functions of density, rather than pressure. We find large and unexplained discrepancies between the various experimental sources. We discuss the theoretical predictions for the relationships between the diffusion coefficients and diffusivities obtained from Taylor dispersion and dynamic light scattering in fluids near critical points. We conclude that there is no strong reason to press for Taylor dispersion measurements near the gas-liquid critical point of the carrier gas.

They were obtained through a theoretically based, critical evaluation of the available experimental data, which showed considerable inconsistencies between data sets, in particular in the vapor phase. In the critical region the observed enhancement in the thermal conductivity is well represented by a crossover model for the transport properties of fluids. Since thermodynamic properties enter into the calculation of the critical enhancement of the transport properties, a new fundamental equation for the critical region was developed also.

The substrates were atomically flat, oxide-free, single-crystal silicon or gallium arsenide. No evidence for island formation or nanoscale irregularities was seen in studies of 100-angstrom-thick films on either silicon or gallium arsenide. The topography of 1000- and 4000-angstrom-thick films has much variation; many regions can be characterized as ''rolling hills,'' but atomically flat areas have also been observed nearby. Generally, it appears that surface diffusion plays a role in smoothing the film topography. In most regions, the observed slopes were 10% or less from horizontal, but some steep-sided valleys, indicating incipient voids, were observed. The effect of the finite size of the scanning tunneling microscope probe tip is considered, this has an effect on the observed images in some cases.

The data (when scaled by the refractive index difference DELTAn and the correlation length xi) are in agreement with other ellipticity data for binary and pseudobinary mixtures at low pressures. Fully constrained theories of the interface correctly predict the temperature dependence and scaling of the thickness but systematically overestimate the thickness itself by 15%-20%. The theory can be brought into agreement with experiment when an intrinsic interfacial stiffness is added to the theory. A novel feature of the present measurements is that the effects from pressure-induced window strain were measured and mitigated by using a cylindrically-symmetric pressure cell with floating seals.

The standard deviations of random errors for these bins are estimated. A unique feature of this dataset is its ability to identify the dry regions in the middle and upper troposphere with unprecedented detail. Results agree with the known climatology in the tropics.

Annual snow cover extent over the last 19 years decreased up to 6 x 10(5) km2 relative to a 0.93-degrees-C (0.33-degrees-C) increase in North American (Northern Hemisphere) temperature. A strong correlation exists between snow cover and temperature where up to 78% of the variance in regional snow cover and snowfall is explained by the anomalies of monthly mean maximum temperature. Over the last two decades the decrease in snow cover during winter (December-March) has largely occurred through reduced frequency of snow cover in areas that typically have a high probability of snow on the ground with little change in the frequency of snow cover in other areas. Similar characteristics were observed during spring (April-May) in areas with high snow cover probability except for an expansion of the snow-free regions. Anomalies in these two seasons dominate the interannual variability (nearly three-fourths of the variance) of snow cover. The apparent unprecedented global warmth of the 1980s was accompanied by a retreat of the mean annual North American snow cover, a 10% increase in annual Alaskan precipitation, a significant decrease (-7%) in annual snowfall over southern Canada (while the total precipitation remained above normal), and a more than twofold increase in the variance of the ratio of frozen to total precipitation over the contiguous United States. An increase (4%-5% per decade) of both solid and total precipitation over northern Canada (zone 55-degrees-70-degrees-N) occurred during the last four decades. A century-scale increase (1% per decade) of precipitation was found over southern Canada, but the proportion of the precipitation that falls in frozen form over this area decreased over the last four decades. Precipitation over the contiguous United States has significantly (2%-3% per decade) increased during the last four decades, but on a century time scale the increasing trend is not yet statistically significant.

From the images, we deduce a coherent set of factors for the loss of crystalline order in layered semiconducting crystals. Lattice mismatch is demonstrated in each of the systems by warping after layer deposition. Nevertheless, local lattice orientation is maintained across each layer interface. In two of the systems, one severely mismatched while the other is not, no arrays of dislocations appear. Sets of mixed linear lattice mismatch dislocations, consistent with identification as 60-degrees dislocations, are found in two of the other systems with intermediate degrees of mismatch. A set of pure edge dislocations penetrating all layers is found in a system with a grid structure. These observations indicate that the formation of extensive arrays of dislocations during uniform one micrometer layer deposition depends not only on the extent of lattice mismatch and layer thickness but also on the degree of crystalline order of the substrate. Establishment of a nonpseudomorphic layer mismatched with the substrate by several tenths of a percent is an important factor, as previously determined. However, localized absence of crystalline order, e.g. in the form of scratches or dislocations in the substrate, appears also to be required for the formation of arrays of interface mismatch dislocations. Where these criteria are not fulfilled, the formation of dislocations in uniform layered systems is inhibited. Localized residual stress can initiate dislocation formation even where it would not appear in uniform layers. The images show also that crystalline disorder in state-of-the-art indium phosphide differs markedly from that in comparable gallium arsenide. Understanding of crystalline order in both monolithic materials is extended by this work. C1 RENSSELAER POLYTECH INST,TROY,NY 12181. NUCL RES CTR,NEGEV,ISRAEL.

The model can equally be applied to the plasma sheet boundary layer in tail or to the boundary of some plasma sheet cloud immersed in the central plasma sheet. With plasma parameters typical of the Earth's outer magnetosphere and plasma sheet, we obtain results bearing many features pertinent to magnetospheric processes, specifically the origin of discrete auroral arcs. Creation of a space-charge separation electrostatic potential in a direction normal to the magnetic field results from the contact of the two plasma populations. When the large-scale solar wind potential difference is further imposed across the transition layer, the potential gradients are locally much enhanced, to give rise to large electric fields (several hundreds millivolts per meter) appearing over small distances perpendicular to the magnetic field - just the situation needed for the creation of an auroral arc. The transition itself is characterized by two scale lengths of the plasma and fields variables: the average electron Larmor radius RHO(e) (or some multiple of RHO(e)) for thin embedded electron-dominated layers which generate the sharpest potential gradients, and the ion gyroradius rho(p) (or some multiple of rho(p)) for the broader ion-dominated layers located at the outer edges of the transition. The larger-scale sizes are appropriate to auroral arcs dimensions. The generated electric potential differences, consistent with the energy acquired by the precipitated electrons associated with discrete aurora, are identified with the source of the electromotive force (EMF) required for the auroral current circuit. Wave particle interactions are likely to scatter the electrons into the atmospheric loss cone, establishing the current system threading both the EMF and the ionosphere by means of field-aligned currents. The half lifetime of the transition is at least of the order of 1000 s. This is also the time interval during which dissipative processes will not alter significantly the available potential gradients of the initially unloaded EMF.

In all of the samples, the velocity deviated significantly from a linear temperature dependence at the highest temperatures. In commercially pure (1100) aluminum, this effect is found to be consistent with reported low-frequency damping and elastic modulus changes that are associated with dislocations or grain boundaries. In the four heat-treatable alloys studied, an additional contribution to the nonlinear temperature dependence arises from the dissolution of precipitates at elevated temperatures. Irreversible velocity changes occur during the first heating, as a result of the recovery from work-hardening and heat treatments which were performed during the production of the material. Small hysteretic changes above approximately 250-degrees-C are correlated with the precipitation and dissolution of alloying elements. The activation energy for the hysteretic changes in Al(1.8% Si) is found to be 0.82 eV, which is consistent with precipitation limited by silicon diffusion along grain boundaries.

The two liners had essentially identical texture at the 8 cm position (measured from the base of the cone) with strong sheet-type texture components, i.e. (111) [101BAR], (111) [110BAR] and (100) [011]. However, the dominant textures at the 3 cm positions were [111] and [100] fibre textures with the fibre axes oriented parallel to the normal direction in both liners. A strong cube texture was observed at the 3 cm position of the arc-cast liner but it was not observed for the powder-sintered liner. The arc-cast liner had a generally higher degree of texture than the powder-sintered liner. C1 NIST,MSEL,DIV REACTOR RADIAT,GAITHERSBURG,MD 20899.

Benson and coworkers for calculating the thermodynamic properties of organic compounds in the gas phase, has been extended to the liquid and solid phases for organic compounds at 298.15 K and 101,325 Pa. As with a previous paper dealing with hydrocarbon compounds, comparisons of estimated enthalpies of formation, heat capacities, and entropies with literature values show that extension of the Benson's group additivity approach to the condensed phase is easy to apply and gives satisfactory agreement. Corresponding values for the entropy of formation, Gibbs energy of formation and natural logarithm of the equilibrium constant for the formation reaction are also calculated provided necessary auxiliary data are available. This work covers 1512 compounds containing the elements: carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and halogens in the gas, liquid, and solid phases. About 1000 references are provided for the literature values which are cited. RP DOMALSKI, ES (reprint author), NBS,DIV CHEM KINET & THERMODYNAM,GAITHERSBURG,MD 20899, USA.

The reactions are carried out in a temperature variable flow cell. C2H radicals are produced by pulsed laser photolysis of C2H2, and a tunable infrared color-center laser is used to probe the transient removal of C2H in absorption to derive the rate coefficients. The results show that the rate coefficient is independent of temperature over the range 170-350 K and equal to (1.1 +/- 0.2) x 10(-10) exp[(28 +/- 20)/T] cm3 molecule-1 s-1. The reaction studied is of central importance for models of the photochemistry of the atmospheres of the outer planets, in particular for the satellite Titan, and the implications of the present results for these models are discussed.

Rate constants for the reactions of these radicals with unsaturated organic compounds were determined in methanol solutions by competition kinetics, using mainly chlorpromazine as a reference. The rate constants were in the range k = 104-107 L mol-1 s-1, and a good correlation was obtained between log k and the Taft substituent constants sigma*. Steric effects were also noticeable in some cases. The reactivities of the radicals were in the order CBr3O2. < CCl3O2. < C4F9O2., which is in contrast with the order observed in electron-transfer reactions. The rate constants for reaction of CCl3O2. with 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene (DMB) and cyclohexene (CH) were studied in 12 solvents. In all cases DMB is considerably more reactive than CH, indicating that at least in the case of DMB the reaction is predominantly via addition. The rate constant for addition of CCl3O2. to DMB varies by a factor of 7 in the different solvents. No correlation was found between these rate constants and thermodynamic or polarity parameters of the solvents, although viscosity appears to have an effect.

This characteristic can be used as an advantage in electron beam-based x-ray mask metrology since, depending upon the incident electron beam energies, substrate composition and substrate thickness, the membrane can also be essentially electron transparent. The areas of the mask where the absorber structures are located are essentially x-ray opaque, as well as electron opaque. This paper shows that excellent contrast and signal-to-noise levels can be obtained using the transmitted-electron signal for mask metrology rather than the more commonly collected secondary electron signal. Monte Carlo modeling of the transmitted electron signal was used to support this work in order to determine the optimum detector position and characteristics, as well as in determining the location of the edge in the image profile. The comparison between the data from the theoretically-modeled electron beam interaction and actual experimental data were shown to agree extremely well, particularly with regard to the wall slope characteristics of the structure. Therefore, the theory can be used to identify the location of the edge of the absorber line for linewidth measurement. This work provides one approach to improved x-ray mask linewidth metrology and a more precise edge location algorithm for measurement of feature sizes on x-ray masks in commercial instrumentation. This work also represents an initial step toward the first SEM-based accurate linewidth measurement standard from NIST, as well as providing a viable metrology for linewidth measurement instruments of x-ray masks for the lithography community.

This standard will be useful for all applications to which the SEM is currently being used, but it has been specifically tailored to meet many of the particular needs of the semiconductor industry. A small number of test samples with the pattern were prepared on silicon substrates using electron beam lithography at the National Nanofabrication Facility at Cornell University. The structures were patterned in titanium/palladium with maximum nominal pitch structures of approximately 3000 mum scaling down to structures with minimum nominal pitch of 0.4 mum. Eighteen of these samples were sent out to a total of 35 university, research, semiconductor and other industrial laboratories in an interlaboratory study. The purpose of the study was to test the SEM instrumentation and to review the suitability of the sample design. The laboratories were asked to take a series of micrographs at various magnifications and accelerating voltages designed to test several of the aspects of instrument performance related to general SEM operation and metrology. If the instrument in the laboratory was used for metrology, the laboratory was also asked to make specific measurements of the sample. In the first round of the study (representing 18 laboratories), data from 35 instruments from several manufacturers were obtained and the second round yielded information from 14 more instruments. The results of the analysis of the data obtained in this study are presented in this paper.

These concepts utilize the basic idea of the Stewart platform parallel link manipulator. The unique feature of the NIST approach is to use cables as the parallel links and to use winches as the actuators. As long as the cables are all in tension, the load is kinematically constrained and the cables resist perturbing forces and moments with equal stiffness to both positive and negative loads. The result is that the suspended load is constrained with a mechanical stiffness determined by the elasticity of the cables, the suspended weight, and the geometry of the mechanism. Based on these concepts, a revolutionary new type of robot crane, the NIST ROBOCRANE, has been developed that can control the position, velocity, and force of tools and heavy machinery in all six degrees of freedom (x, y, z, roll, pitch, and yaw). Depending on what is suspended from its work platform, the ROBOCRANE can perform a variety of tasks. Examples are: cutting, excavating and grading, shaping and finishing, lifting, and positioning. A 6-m version of the ROBOCRANE has been built and critical performance characteristics analyzed. RP ALBUS, J (reprint author), NATL INST STAND & TECHNOL,DIV ROBOT SYST,GAITHERSBURG,MD 20899, USA.

Model results compare reasonably well with salinity data sets for the Amazon plume. Model results on distribution of bottom currents and bottom shear stresses help explain some of the observed sedimentological features of the Amazon continental shelf. High concentrations of suspended sediment in the Amazon River are transported outward over the continental shelf and northward by the North Brazil Coastal Current. As this sediment settles out of the water column, it forms the prograding, subaqueous delta described by Nittrouer et al. (1986). Accumulation rates are greatest shoreward of the 40-m isobath due to a zone of convergent, cross-shelf residual tidal velocities. little sediment is deposited in the shallow parts of the shelf, where bottom shear stress exceeds 10 dynes/cm2 over a diurnal tidal cycle. Zones of laminated sand and mud on the Amazon continental shelf coincide with areas of high interseasonal differences in bottom shear stress. Our results suggest that our model may be useful in interpreting sedimentation in ancient sedimentary basins as well. C1 US GEOL SURVEY,DENVER,CO 80225.

In samples subjected to load the amplitude of polarized waves varies with the applied stress. The broad range of wavelengths applicable in acoustic imaging makes this technique feasible to many practical applications in metals ceramics, polymers, and other materials. A few examples: a disc under diametral concentrated load, a disc with a circular hole under diametral compression, polymer and aluminum samples under compression, and metal and ceramic samples with residual stresses will illustrate the advantages and limitations of this technique. The acoustic images show significant patterns caused by the differences of the amplitude values in the stressed and stress free areas, often enhanced by interference effects. Observed intensity variations are related to acoustic trirefringence and birefringence. RP DRESCHERKRASICKA, E (reprint author), NATL INST STAND & TECHNOL,GAITHERSBURG,MD 20899, USA.

With the use of unfiltered time series of normalized 300-mb meridional wind perturbations at a grid point in the Pacific storm track as the reference time series, regression statistics for perturbations in the horizontal wind, geopotential height, temperature, and vertical velocity are derived. The resulting perturbation fields exhibit characteristics of mid-latitude baroclinic waves, such as a westward tilt with height in the velocity and height fields and eastward tilt in the temperature field, with typical wavelengths of 4000 km and periods of around 4 days. The main difference between the results of this work and previous similar analyses is in the propagation characteristics of the baroclinic wave trains. The wave trains found here exhibit characteristics of downstream development, with successive perturbations developing toward the downstream side of existing perturbations. An analysis of the eddy kinetic energy budget of the wave train indicates that downstream radiation of ageostrophic geopotential fluxes by existing perturbations triggers the development of new eddies downwind, with conversion becoming important only during the later part of the life cycle of a downstream developed wave. The Appendix suggests that the difference between these results and those of previous works is mainly due to time filtering obscuring the delicate signal of downstream development.

Several elements of our design are unique to this application. The STM, which resides in a vacuum chamber, can be positioned anywhere on a 1 cm X 1 cm sample. This is accomplished by using three piezoelectric motors (Burleigh Inchworms) and locating the tip position with a long working distance optical microscope (Questar). One piezoelectric motor is used for the coarse Z approach while the other two adjust the X, Y tip position. The tip is attached to a tube-type piezoelectric scanner. The piezo tube's x-y scan range is 12 mum X 12 mum. The tube's mechanical and electrical response are linear to 6 kHz and allow rapid scanning. Both tip and sample are attached to the microscope magnetically to facilitate rapid self-aligned exchange under vacuum. A computer controlled pattern generation system allows arbitrary patterns to be drawn on the sample. The critical electromechanical issues involved in the construction and operation of such a system are discussed in detail. RP SCHNEIR, J (reprint author), NBS,GAITHERSBURG,MD 20899, USA.

As layer thicknesses are reduced, the role of heterostructure interface sharpness becomes more critical to ensuring high quality two-dimensional growth. In this work, short-period (less than 1 nm) superlattices with active layer thicknesses of 31 nm were investigated to assess interface roughness in the initial stages of growth. X-ray diffraction was used to evaluate interface roughness and to calculate superlattice periodicity. Results suggest that surface roughening by islanding may be promoted by GaAs buffer layers that are 10-100 nm thick. Smoother interfaces were obtained in samples with buffer layers 250 nm and greater. C1 USN,RES LAB,DIV CONDENSED MATTER,WASHINGTON,DC 20375.

The passivation technique has been used to obtain stable images of cleaved, molecular-beam epitaxy grown GaAs pn junctions in air as well. The results of this study demonstrate that quantitative doping information over the range of 10(15) < N(A),N(D) < 10(19) cm-3 can be extracted from scanning tunneling microscopy data on passivated GaAs surfaces under ambient conditions.

DyBaCuO thin films are prepared by molecular beam reactive coevaporation on both annealed and unannealed MgO(100). While predeposition annealing has led to improved film quality for some groups, under our conditions just the opposite occurs. We point out the existence of Ca segregation to the MgO surface as a factor that needs investigation because Ca is a common contaminant in commercially supplied MgO. Atomic force microscope images show decoration of annealed substrates with submicron size particles that may be composed of the segregated Ca. These particles seem to underlie the distinct differences seen in the surface microstructure of films on annealed and unannealed substrates. In the case of annealed substrates a more random microstructure is promoted. Under identical growth conditions, outgrowths present in films on unannealed (mechanically polished) substrates are oriented in an ordered pattern. These findings suggest that the expected benefits from predeposition annealing can be negated when significant surface segregation of bulk contaminants occurs.

The structural, chemical, and electrical properties were investigated by low-energy electron diffraction (LEED), x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and four-point conductance measurements. The SnO2 films grown on sapphire (1102BAR) were crystalline with the [101] axis parallel to the growth direction. In contrast, for films up to 8.0 nm thickness grown on sapphire (0001), no long-range order was evident in LEED images. The film resistance depended on the growth substrate, film thickness, and thermal history. Gas sensing measurements were carried out on palladium-activated films and showed a response for all the thicknesses studied.

These capabilities have permitted measurements never before possible, such as the instantaneous temperature measurements of the inside surfaces of a diesel engine cylinder during operation. Although these type S platinum plus platinum 10% rhodium thermocouples are stable at the 900-1100-degrees-C range, oxidation of rhodium can take place in the 600-800-degrees-C range in air which lessens the thermoelectric potential of the positive element. We evaluated the effect of air exposures to high temperature thin film thermocouples and attempted to find solutions to the problem. We found that after 50 h at 750-degrees-C the Seebeck coefficient of a platinum 10% rhodium element was reduced 50% compared to the as-sputtered condition. The reduction of Seebeck coefficient at 700 and 800-degrees-C was also substantial. This reduction in Seebeck coefficient could be recovered by annealing the thin film at 900-degrees-C. The degradation after 750-degrees-C could be suppressed using a 1 mum sputtered aluminum oxide coating. The reversible behavior suggests the formation of Rh2O3 at 700-800-degrees-C and its subsequent reduction at temperatures at which the free energy of formation is zero or positive. Microstructural evidence confirm these conclusions. RP KREIDER, KG (reprint author), NBS,CHEM SCI & TECHNOL LAB,GAITHERSBURG,MD 20899, USA.

Deposition of 6 monolayers of Fe at 300 K covers only approximately 90% of the substrate. However, deposition of 3 monolayers of Fe at 80 K covers approximately 95% of the substrate. The changing film morphology is reflected in the epitaxial phase of the Fe film. Fe deposited on Cu (111) at a substrate temperature of 80 K grows body-centered-cubic (bcc), but Fe deposited at a substrate temperature of 300 K initially grows face-centered-cubic and relaxes to bcc with increasing thickness. The changing epitaxial crystalline phase is discussed in terms of the intrafilm interaction strength relative to the film-substrate bond strength.

Phase analysis of the SEXAFS data taken over the Sb L3 edge using bulk Sb and GaSb as standards determines the bond lengths within the first Sb shell to be 2.87 +/- 0.03 angstrom and 2.67 +/- 0.03 angstrom for the Sb-Sb and Sb-Ge bonds, respectively. The XSW data for (111) planes, taken in the backreflection diffraction geometry, place the Sb layer 2.60 +/- 0.05 angstrom above the Ge(111) surface. A relatively high coherent fraction (0.85) indicates small disorder or buckling in the Sb overlayer. The Sb overlayer is found to quench the clean surface shifted components of the Ge 3d core-level spectrum, which indicates an ideal termination of the Ge (111) surface with all dangling bonds saturated by the Sb adatoms. Lack of chemically shifted components in both the Ge 3d and the Sb 4d core level spectra indicates a single bonding site for the Sb atoms. Although it is not possible to differentiate between Sb trimers [as found for the Sb/Si(111) interface] or zigzag chains (common for Sb/III-V interfaces) on the Ge surface, substitutional geometries, in which Sb replaces the topmost layer of the Ge surface bilayer [as found for As/Ge (111)], can be ruled out.

Under these conditions, the penetration depth of the x rays can become comparable to photoelectron escape depths and the photoelectron yields from the surface are enhanced. As the incidence angle of the x rays is increased, the x-ray penetration depth increases and the photoelectron yields contain a larger contribution from deeper layers within the sample. By exploiting this depth-dependence of photoelectron yields as a function of incident x-ray beam angle, it is possible to obtain information about the depth distribution of the photoelectron emitting atoms. We have used this novel application of grazing-incidence x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (GIXPS) to study the ultraviolet oxidized GaAs(100) surface. This oxide/GaAs surface is particularly well suited for study with GIXPS because a variety of oxide phases are formed during oxidation and questions concerning stratification of these phases can be addressed. Much insight into the composition and depth-dependence of these oxide phases can be obtained by directly comparing the spectra collected at different x-ray incidence angles.

Deviations from the dissolved oxygen:nutrient linear relationships are manifestations of several chemical and biological processes. The low dissolved oxygen concentrations (50 mumol) result in the redistributions of Fe in the sediment column while Mn is redistributed within the water column. Trace metals are also taken up by organisms in the surface layer and regenerated in the deep layer in the order Zn > > Cd > Cu = Ni Regenerated Zn is adsorbed on to resuspended bottom sediments that are enriched in Fe oxyhydroxides while Cd is adsorbed throughout the water column. Particulate distributions of Cu and Ni indicate these metals are also participating in biogeochemical cycles, albeit to a lesser extent. C1 NOAA,PACIFIC MARINE ENVIRONM LAB,SEATTLE,WA 98115.

By comparing areas of differing snow cover, and thus light history, we showed that light was initially limiting to algal production. Where snow cover was relatively thin (0 to 5 cm), light apparently ceased to be limiting to biomass accumulation in the ice as the bloom neared its peak. Compositional ratios, such as C:chlorophyll a and C:N, were consistent with a physiological response of the algae to light-sufficient and, possibly, nutrient-limited conditions following the peak of the bloom. The transition from early to late bloom conditions was accompanied by a shift in lipid composition, from a predominance of polar lipids (glycolipids and phospholipids) and pigments to a predominance of neutral lipids (triacylglycerols and free fatty acids). Neutral lipids varied directly, as a proportion of total lipid, with the light available to the algae under the different snow covers. Similar changes of lipid composition were only partially reproduced in a short-term (less-than-or-equal-to 2 wk) manipulation of light availability to the natural communities, however, indicating that factors other than the immediate availability of light were important to lipid synthesis by the ice algae.

The double count data are modeled using iterative logistic regression to allow for the effects of various covariates on probability of detection, and a correction factor is introduced for night rate of travel. The revised absolute population size estimate is 20,869 animals, with CV = 4.37% and 95% confidence interval (19,200, 22,700). In addition the series of relative population size estimates from 1967-1968 to 1987-1988 is scaled to pass through this estimate and modeled to provide variance estimates from interannual variation in population size estimates. This method yields an alternative population size estimate for 1987-1988 of 21,296 animals, with CV = 6.05% and 95% confidence interval (18,900, 24,000).

However, bacteriological analysis of the nearshore waters indicated low and legally acceptable levels of faecal coliforms and enterococci. Similar diminished levels were also found in direct cultures of the fresh pellets.

The detective quantum efficiency of the screens at each x-ray energy has been determined by separate measurements of the x-ray absorption efficiency and the statistical factor associated with the emission of optical photons upon absorption of an incident x ray. Data have been recorded for both rare-earth phosphor screens and calcium tungstate screens. The value of the statistical factor for optical photon emission tends toward a constant value as the incident energy increases. Comparisons of the image information transfer properties are presented for several screens, which have been measured over a ten year interval. The utility of the screens for high-energy radiography is discussed. C1 US TECHNOL ADM,NATL INST STAND & TECHNOL,PHYS LAB,GAITHERSBURG,MD 20899.

An improved fabrication method is to mix a polysiloxane-metal composite, which is readily cast at room temperature by combining a metal-powder/polysiloxane resin mixture with a hardening catalyst. The purpose of the present study is to compare the shielding effectiveness of two different metal-polysiloxane composites with that of conventional cast Lipowitz metal (50.1% Bi, 26.6% Pb, 13.3% Sn, 10% Cd). Also, a 2(3) factorial experiment was run to investigate the effects and interactions of metal particle size (20-mum vs 100-mum diameter), the atomic weight of the metal (304 stainless steel vs 70% Ag, 30% Cu alloy), and the presence or absence of a layer of unfilled polymer added to the forward-watter side of the shield. The composites of different thicknesses were made by blending 90% (w/w) metal powder separately with 10% polysiloxane base and catalyst. A thin GafChromic(TM) dosimeter film was placed between the shielding material and a polystyrene base to measure the radiation shielding effect of composite disc samples irradiated with a 6-MeV electron beam normal to the flat surface of the disc. The results show that composite shields with the metal of higher atomic weight and density (Ag-Cu) combined with an additional unfilled layer are more effective than the stainless-steel composite with a similar additional unfilled layer, in terms of diminishing the dose at the surface of the polystyrene backing material. In general, the unfilled layer on the side of the shield away from the radiation source helps attenuate secondary forward-scattered electrons from the higher-density composite shielding layer. Although the Ag-Cu composite shield requires about double the thickness (approximately 7 mm) to achieve the same shielding effectiveness as the Lipowitz metal stent (approximately 3 mm) for 6-MeV electrons, the polymer-metal composite will be more comfortable for the patient and more easily and quickly cast to custom shapes and sizes.

The primary sources of data were radar microfilm and manually digitized radar (MDR) reports from the operational National Weather Service (NWS) radars at Cape Hatteras (HAT) and Wilmington (ILM), North Carolina. The dataset also included cloud-to-ground lightning flashes that were recorded by the network operated by the State University of New York at Albany. The analyses included rainbands of at least 90-km length with lifetimes of at least 2 h. Nearly all of the rainbands were within 400 km of synoptic-scale or coastal fronts. Warm-sector rainbands predominated. Rainbands were classified by the location of their initial detection relative to the land, coastal shelf, and Gulf Stream. Rainbands were initially identified more frequently over the Gulf Stream and less often over the coastal shelf than the corresponding fractional areas monitored by the radars. Statistical tests determined significant differences in the sample means of the MDR and lightning data between the Gulf Stream and land regions that were largely a consequence of many more hours with MDR and lightning over the Gulf Stream. Composites relative to the beginning and ending of the rainband cases indicated that differences between the Gulf Stream and land were small shortly after the initial detection of rainbands and large just before the final detection of rainbands. The largest Gulf Stream-land disparities occurred, on the average, during low-level cold and dry advection at HAT. Trunk and Bosart reported a convective echo maximum over the Gulf Stream near HAT and discussed physical processes that can account for the convective maximum. Analysis of one idealized distribution of convection, however, supports the likely role of sampling limitations of the NWS radar network in determining the location of the convective echo maximum near HAT.

Eleven numerical simulations are made in which the depth and turning angle of the ambient vertical shear vector are varied systematically while maintaining a constant magnitude of the shear in the shear layer. In this manner, an attempt is made to isolate the effects of different environmental helicities on storm morphology and show that the SREH and bulk Richardson number, rather than the mean shear in the low levels, determine the rotational characteristics and morphology of deep convection. The results demonstrate that storms forming in environments characterized by large SREH are longer-lived than those in less helical surroundings. Further, it appears that the storm-relative winds in the layer 0-3 km must, on average, exceed 10 m s-1 over most of the lifetime of a convective event to obtain supercell storms. The correlation coefficient between vertical vorticity zeta and vertical velocity w, which (according to linear theory of dry convection) should be proportional to the product of the normalized helicity density, NHD (i.e., relative helicity), and a function involving the storm-relative wind speed, has the largest peak values (in time) in those simulated storms exhibiting large SREH and strong storm-relative winds in the low levels. Even when the vorticity is predominantly streamwise in the storm-relative framework, giving a normalized helicity density near unity (as is the case in many of these simulations), significant updraft rotation and large w-zeta correlation coefficients do not develop and persist unless the storm-relative winds are sufficiently strong. The correlation coefficient between w and zeta based on linear theory is found to be a significantly better predictor of net updraft rotation than the bulk Richardson number (BRN) or the BRN shear, and slightly better than the 0-3-km SREH. Both the theoretical correlation coefficient and the SREH are based on the motion of the initial storm after its initially rapid growth. Linear theory also predicts correctly the relative locations of the buoyancy, vertical velocity, and vertical vorticity extrema within the storms after allowance is made for the effects of vertical advection. In predicting the maximum vertical vorticity both above and below 1.14 km, rather than the actual w-zeta correlation, the 0-3-km SREH performs slightly worse than the BRN. The correlation coefficient, SREH, and BRN all do a credible job of predicting storm type. Thus, it is recommended that operational forecasters use the BRN to predict storm type because it is independent of storm motion, and the SREH to characterize the rotational properties of storms once their motions can be established. Finally, the ability of the NHD to characterize storm type and rotational properties is examined. Computed using the storm-relative winds, the NHD shows little ability to predict storm rotation (i.e., maximum w-zeta correlation and maximum vertical vorticity), because it neglects the magnitudes of the vorticity and storm-relative wind vectors. Histograms of the disturbance NHD show a distinct bias toward positive values near unity for supercell storms, indicating an extraction of helicity from the mean flow by the disturbance, and only a slight bias for multicell storms.

In the proposed method, a crudely resolved tropical cyclone in the large-scale analysis is replaced by a vortex that is properly specified for use in the prediction model. Appropriate filters are used to remove the vortex from the large-scale analysis so that a smooth environmental field remains. The new specified bogus vortex takes the form of a deviation from this environmental field so that it can be easily merged with the latter field at the correct position. The specified vortex consists of both axisymmetric and asymmetric components. The symmetric component is generated by the time integration of an axisymmetric version of the hurricane prediction model. This ensures dynamical and thermodynamical consistency in the vortex structure, including the moisture field, and also compatibility of the vortex with the resolution and physics of the hurricane model. In the course of the integration of the axisymmetric model, the tangential wind component is gradually forced to a target wind profile determined from observational information and empirical knowledge. This makes the symmetric vortex a good approximation to the corresponding real tropical cyclone. The symmetric flow thus produced is used to generate an asymmetric wind field by the time integration of a simplified barotropic vorticity equation, including the beta effect. The asymmetric wind field, which can make a significant contribution to the vortex motion, is then added to the symmetric flow. After merging the specified vortex with the environmental flow, the mass field is diagnosed from the divergence equation with an appropriately controlled time tendency. The wind field remains unchanged at this step of initialization. Since the vortex specified by the proposed method is well adapted to the hurricane prediction model, problems of initial adjustment and false spinup of the model vortex, a long-standing difficulty in the dynamical prediction of tropical cyclones, are alleviated. It is anticipated that the improvement of the initial conditions can reduce the error in hurricane track forecasting and extend the feasibility of tropical cyclone forecasting to intensity change.

Three of the test cases involved Hurricane Gloria ( 1985) in the Atlantic basin; the fourth involved Hurricane Gilbert (1988) in the Gulf of Mexico. The initialization scheme produced an initial vortex that was well adapted to the forecast model and was much more realistic in size and intensity than the storm structure obtained from the NMC T80 global analysis. As a result, the erratic storm motion seen in previous integrations of the GFDL model has been nearly eliminated with dramatic improvements in track forecasts during the first 48 h of the prediction. Using the new scheme, the average 24-h and 48-h forecast error for the four test cases was 58 and 94 km, respectively, compared with 143 and 191 km for the noninitialized forecasts starting from the global analysis. The average National Hurricane Center operational forecast error at 24 and 48 h was 1 18 and 212 km for the same four cases. After 48 h the difference in the average track error became small between the integrations starting from the global analysis and the forecasts starting from the fields obtained by the initialization scheme. With accurate specification of the initial vortex structure, changes in the storm intensity were also well predicted in these cases. The model correctly forecasted the rapid intensification of Hurricane Gloria just after the system was first upgraded to a hurricane. The model storm intensification also ceased at approximately the same time as observed, with gradual weakening as the storm moved north and approached the east coast of the United States. In the forecast of Hurricane Gilbert, the model storm initially weakened as it moved over the Yucatan Peninsula and underwent only moderate reintensification after moving over the Gulf of Mexico, in good agreement with observations. Finally, in the case where the track of Hurricane Gloria was well forecast, the distribution of the maximum low-level winds was accurately predicted as the storm moved up the east coast of the United States. During this period the model successfully reproduced many observed features such as large asymmetries in the wind field, with strongest winds occurring well east of the storm center, and a sharp decrease of the wind speed at the coast. Although the asymmetry in the wind distribution was reproduced to a first order in the forecast starting with the global analysis, the agreement with observations was much better with the specified vortex, primarily due to a more realistic radius of maximum wind and storm intensity.

With few exceptions (Guaymas basin being the most notable), the vent systems studied so far are free of sedimentary influence and the chemistry of the fluids can be explained on the basis of interactions between sea water and basalt. Such fluids typically contain low methane concentrations, ranging from 50 to 120 muM (refs 1-7), and ammonium concentrations less than 10 muM (ref. 8). Here we report CH4 and NH4+ concentrations from the Endeavour segment of the Juan de Fuca Ridge which are many times greater than those measured previously at any unsedimented mid-ocean ridge. The C-13/C-12 ratio of this CH4 is the lowest yet found in any hydrothermal environment, implying an unusual source. We attribute these high CH4 and NH4+ concentrations to the decomposition of sub-sea-floor organic matter associated with sediments buried at an earlier stage of the ridge's evolution. These data illustrate that the organic geochemistry of unsedimented ridges may be more complex than suspected hitherto. C1 NOAA,PACIFIC MARINE ENVIRONM LAB,SEATTLE,WA 98115.

In this limit the plasma shape is spheroidal and analytic solutions exist for all of the modes. The solutions for the modes of a Paul-trap plasma are a special case of the modes of a Penning-trap plasma. A simple derivation of some of the low-order quadrupole modes is given. Experimental measurements of these mode frequencies on plasmas of laser-cooled Be+ ions in a Penning trap agree well with the calculations. A general discussion of the higher-order modes is given. The modes provide a nondestructive method for obtaining information on the plasma density and shape. In addition, they may provide a practical limit to the density and number of charged particles that can be stored in a Penning trap. C1 UNIV CALIF SAN DIEGO,DEPT PHYS,LA JOLLA,CA 92093.

A measurement of the GDOS for the insulating Pr2CuO4 was also done for comparison with that of Pr1.85Ce0.15CuO4, while a more limited set of data was obtained for Nd2CuO4. Comparison between the GDOS spectrum of the Nd1.85Ce0.15CuO4 with that of Pr1.85Ce0.15CuO4 shows differences in the shape of some structures in the GDOS spectrum. Furthermore, there are substantial changes in the GDOS spectrum of Pr1.85Ce0.15CuO4 as compared to that of Pr2CuO4, particularly in the energy regime between 33 and 63 meV. In the Nd1.85Ce0.15CuO4 system, where electron-tunneling measurements have been performed, there are similarities between the GDOS spectrum and the Eliashberg-coupling function alpha2F(omega) obtained from the tunneling data in the energy regions where comparisons can be made. To the extent that this comparison is valid, it suggests that phonons are to some extent involved in the electron-pairing mechanism in these electron-doped superconductor systems. We have also determined the ground-state crystal-field excitations associated with the rare-earth ions (Nd3+, Pr3+). The Nd3+ crystal-field levels are observed at energies of 13, 20.7, 26.4, and 93 meV in superconducting Nd1.85Ce0.15CuO4. For the Pr2CuO4 system, the Pr3+ crystal-field excitations are found at 18.6 and 87.9 meV. These peaks broaden and split when doped to form superconducting Pr1.85Ce0.15CuO4. The observed crystal-field levels in the above systems are in good agreement with those reported by other groups. C1 NATL INST STAND & TECHNOL,DIV REACTOR RADIAT,GAITHERSBURG,MD 20899.

In this Zn-doped system, where 15 at.% of the Cu atoms located in the CuO2-plane layers have been replaced by Zn atoms, the magnetic structure of Pr is different from that found in the undoped system. The basic magnetic structure of Pr in the present Zn-doped compound consists of a simple antiferromagnetic arrangement in the tetragonal ab plane with nearest-neighbor spins along the c axis aligned parallel (ferromagnetic). This contrasts with the structure found in PrBa2Cu3O7, where Pr spins are arranged antiferromagnetically along all three crystallographic directions. The ordering temperature is almost-equal-to 17 K, with a moment of 0.70+/-0.07mu(B) directed along the c axis. Although the doping of Zn changes the magnetic structure of Pr, its Neel temperature and moment remain unaltered. Our order-parameter measurements give a value of 0.49+/-0.09 for the critical exponent beta of the staggered magnetization, suggesting that the magnetic phase transition observed is three dimensional in nature.

Substitution of formally R3+ ions for Ba2+ leads to the introduction of filled states in the band gap that are shown by resonant-photoemission measurements to have significant Ti 3d character, consistent with a Mott-Hubbard-insulator description for these oxides. Various contributions to the binding energy and width of these states are considered. It is suggested that the dominant factor is electron-electron correlation and this leads to the estimates U approximately DELTA approximately 3 eV for this system, where U is the correlation energy for the 3d electrons and DELTA is the charge-transfer energy.

There is a clear distinction in magnetization between field-cooled meaured-upon-cooling (FCC) and field-cooled measured-upon-warming (FCW) results. This thermal hysteresis, predicted in the temperature-dependent critical-state model at low fields by Clem and Hao, was observed for measuring fields up to about 0.5 T. The model explains the observation of increases in diamagnetism after field cooling and thermal cycling. The thermal hysteresis, together with weak links, accounts for the occurrence of a negative peak in FCW magnetization. The FCC-FCW bifurcation observed for a 0.1 mT field down to 5 K might imply that flux lines are not completely frozen below T(c1), the temperature at which the lower critical field is equal to the measuring field, but are expelled from the sample even in the Meissner state.

The ROZ equations, which apply to the general class of partly quenched systems, are here applied to a class of models for porous media. These models involve two species of particles: an annealed or equilibrated species, which is used to model the fluid phase, and a quenched or frozen species, whose excluded-volume interactions constitute the matrix in which the fluid is adsorbed. We study two models for the quenched species of particles: a hard-sphere matrix, for which the fluid-fluid, matrix-matrix, axid matrix-fluid sphere diameters sigma11, sigma00, and sigma01 are additive, and a matrix of randomly overlapping particles (which still interact with the fluid particle as hard spheres) that gives a ''random'' matrix with interconnected pore structure. For the random-matrix case we study a ratio sigma01/sigma11 of 2.5, which is a demanding one for the theories. The HNC and RPY results represent significant improvements over the PY result when compared with the Monte Carlo simulations we have generated for this study, with the HNC result yielding the best results overall among those studied. A phenomenological percolating-fluid approximation is also found to be of comparable accuracy to the HNC results over a significant range of matrix and fluid densities. In the hard-sphere matrix case, the RPY is the best of the theories that we have considered. C1 CSIC,INST QUIM FIS ROCASOLANO,E-28006 MADRID,SPAIN.

Diet was changed 12 months before spawning from a basic formulated commercial diet to a commercial brood-fish diet. The average egg viability to the eyed stage (72% for the progeny of nine females, each crossed with a single male) compared favorably with that of anadromous fish produced at the same facility.

This difference is often expressed in terms of an asymmetry statistic, that is, the difference normalized to the sum of the two signals, corrected for an additive background contribution. Typically, a propagation of errors approach is used to compute confidence intervals for asymmetry. However, these confidence intervals are not reliable in general. In this work, generally accurate confidence intervals for asymmetry are obtained using a parametric bootstrap approach. Based on the observed data, data are simulated using a Monte Carlo resampling scheme. The resampled data sets satisfy a constraint that ensures that background-corrected count rates are not negative.

Typically, an additive background signal contributes to measurements of each signal. Background is measured in a third experiment. Data are corrected by subtracting measured background. When the measured background is larger than one of the other measurements, background-corrected counts are negative. For this case, it would seem that no useful information can be extracted from the experiment.

The modification permits automatic filament saturation and monitoring. Using this system, variations and drifts in the emission current over time can be adjusted and compensated automatically with a feedback loop in the computer-controlled system. This change also enables the accurate determination and setting of the primary electron beam energy. Therefore, the accelerating voltage is known for comparison to Monte Carlo computer modeling of the electron beam specimen interaction.

We employ it to compute growth into an undercooled liquid for a one-dimensional spherically symmetric geometry and a planar two-dimensional rectangular region. The phase field model equations are solved using finite difference techniques on a uniform mesh. For the growth of a sphere, the solutions from the phase field equations for sufficiently small interface widths are in good agreement with a numerical solution to the classical sharp interface model obtained using a Green's function approach. In two dimensions, we simulate dendritic growth of nickel with four-fold anisotropy and investigate the effect of the level of anisotropy on the growth of a dendrite. The quantitative behavior of the phase field model is evaluated for varying interface thickness and spatial and temporal resolution. We find quantitatively that the results depend on the interface thickness and with the simple numerical scheme employed it is not practical to do computations with an interface that is sufficiently thin for the numerical solution to accurately represent a sharp interface model. However, even with a relatively thick interface the results from the phase field model show many of the features of dendritic growth and they are in surprisingly good quantitative agreement with the Ivantsov solution and microscopic solvability theory.

Applications of the Kubelka-Munk theory to calculate the infrared spectrum from diffuse reflectance data assumes that the sample is a continuous medium. Particle size is not accounted for in the transformation. However, powdered samples of the same concentrations but with different particle sizes give different diffuse reflectance spectra. A qualitative interpretation of the effects of particle size on the diffuse reflectance spectra was made by measuring different concentrations of mixtures of potassium bromide and polystyrene spheres with defined diameters. Principal component analysis was used to show the differences in the intensities of absorption with particle size variation. Spectral similarity (or dissimilarity) of the polystyrene spheres as a function of diameter was easy to compare using the score plots of the multivariate data. Additionally, the linearity of the Kubelka-Munk function was tested for three different particle sizes and concentrations. The Kubelka-Munk seems to be linear for lower concentrations. Deviation from Kubelka-Munk function starts at an early stage for the smaller particles. C1 NATL INST STAND & TECHNOL,GAITHERSBURG,MD 20899.

A 60 cm x 50 mum I.D. fused-silica capillary was used for the separation, and the polymer coating was burned off 20 cm from the cathodic end to form a detection window. The buffer system consisted of 50 mM sodium phosphate plus 10 mM sodium chloride at pH 7.8. A helium-cadmium laser set at 325 nm was used for excitation, and the fluorescence of the vitamin A-retinol-binding protein complex was monitored at 465 nm using a photodiode. The stray and scattered radiation were removed by two special filters. Using this system, about 8 nl of serum sample were injected for direct analysis without any sample preparation. The analysis time for each sample was less than 6 min, and subfemtomole levels of vitamin A in human or animal blood could be easily detected. Therefore, the method is potentially useful for finger-prick vitamin A analysis, especially for babies and young children. C1 UNIV CONNECTICUT,DEPT NUTR SCI,STORRS,CT 06269.

In addition to the usual Shapiro steps resulting from the ac Josephson effect, constant voltage steps with voltages halfway between the voltages of the Shapiro steps were present. The widths of these ''half-integral'' steps were measured as a function of microwave power, and the influence of a magnetic field was investigated. From previous results on high-T(c) grain boundary junctions and a comparison of the results presented here with single- and multiple-junction effects in low-T(c) materials, we conclude that the half-integral steps are likely to be a result of grain boundaries being composed of multiple junctions in parallel.

A simple single scattering model and a Monte Carlo radiative transfer scheme have been developed to study the effects of multiple scattering, aerosol scattering, surface albedo and refraction on air mass factors for scattered light observations. At fairly short visible wavelengths (less than about 450 nm), stratospheric air mass factors are found to be relatively insensitive to multiple scattering, surface albedo and refraction, as well as aerosol scattering by background aerosols. Longer wavelengths display greater sensitivity to refraction and aerosol scattering. Tropospheric air mass factors are found to be highly dependent on aerosol scattering, surface albedo and, at long visible wavelengths (about 650 nm), refraction. Absorption measurements of NO2 and O4 are shown to support these conclusions. C1 NOAA,GEOPHYS FLUID DYNAM LAB,PRINCETON,NJ 08542. NOAA,AERON LAB,BOULDER,CO 80303.

To characterize and quantify relationships within the DMS/CCN/climate system, simultaneous measurements were made over the northeastern Pacific Ocean in April and May 1991 of particulate non-sea-salt sulfate, methanesulfonate, and ammonium mass size distributions, number size distributions of particles having diameters between 0.02 and 9.6 mum, CCN concentrations at 0.3% supersaturation, relative humidity, and temperature. Comparisons between particle mass and surface area indicate that non-sea-salt sulfate, methanesulfonate, and ammonium were not involved in new particle production on the 12- to 24-hour time scale of the measurements. Instead, high levels of available particulate surface area resulted in the condensation of the gas phase precursors onto existing aerosol. A doubling of non-sea-salt sulfate, methanesulfonate, and ammonium mass corresponded to a 40 to 50% increase in number in the accumulation mode size range. Likewise, a doubling of the non-sea-salt sulfate mass corresponded to a 40% increase in the CCN number concentration. As methanesulfonate made up a very small fraction of the soluble particulate mass, no correlations were found between methanesulfonate mass and CCN number. In a separate experiment, measurements were made of particulate non-sea-salt sulfate, methanesulfonate, and ammonium mass size distributions over the central Pacific Ocean during February 1991. The percent of methanesulfonate in the supermicrometer particle size fraction was greater in these samples than in those collected over coastal waters of the northeastern Pacific. In both regions the non-sea-salt sulfate mass size distributions were bimodal, while ammonium was found to be concentrated in larger accumulation mode particles.

Upon photolysis of the O3 or O2, significant amounts of chemical potential energy and atomic and molecular internal energy are generated. The disposition of the internal energy largely determines the rate at which the atmosphere is heated. In addition, the chemical energy is released subsequent to exothermic chemical reactions which may occur long after and far away from the location of photon deposition. Energy may be lost from the atmosphere by airglow from excited photolysis products or by chemiluminescent emission from product species of exothermic chemical reactions. In this paper we examine the role of airglow losses in reducing the efficiency of solar heating in the Hartley, Huggins, and Chappuis bands of ozone and in the Herzberg, Ly alpha, Schumann-Runge continuum, and Schumann-Runge bands of molecular oxygen. We also examine the role of heating due to seven chemical reactions and calculate the efficiencies for those reactions with significant chemiluminescent loss. Parameterizations of the heating efficiency that are readily applicable to numerical models are given for those processes with nonunit efficiencies. Results from the calculation of heating rates for individual processes indicate that the reaction of atomic hydrogen and ozone is potentially the largest single source of heat in the vicinity of the mesopause. However, significant improvement is still needed in the knowledge of the quenching and chemical reaction rates of vibrationally excited OH before the efficiency of this reaction can be confidently calculated. Our calculations also indicate that even under strong quenching, most of the OH is in vibrationally excited form above 85-90 km. Finally, the bulk heating efficiency due to the combination of solar and chemical heating is calculated. The calculated bulk efficiencies demonstrate that airglow and chemiluminescent emission significantly reduce the amount of energy available for heat throughout the mesosphere and lower thermosphere.

PEM consists of four instruments: the atmospheric X ray imaging spectrometer (AXIS), the high-energy particle spectrometer (HEPS), the medium-energy particle spectrometer (MEPS), and the vector magnetometer (VMAG). AXIS provides global scale images and energy spectra of 3- to 100-keV bremsstrahlung X rays produced by electron precipitation into the atmosphere. HEPS and MEPS provide in situ measurements of precipitating electrons in the energy range from 1 eV to 5 MeV and protons in the energy range from 1 eV to 150 MeV. Particles in this energy range deposit their energy in the atmosphere at altitudes extending from several hundred kilometers down to as low as approximately 30 km. VMAG provides the magnetic field direction needed to indicate and interpret the locations and intensities of ionospheric and field-aligned currents as well as providing a reference for the particle measurements. This paper describes each instrument separately and also in the context of the PEM objectives which include the determination of energy deposition and ionization production rates as functions of altitude. Examples of data acquired early in the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) mission are presented. C1 JOHNS HOPKINS UNIV,APPL PHYS LAB,LAUREL,MD 20707. UNIV MICHIGAN,ANN ARBOR,MI 48109.

The experiment uses solar occultation to measure vertical profiles of O3, HCl, HF, CH4, H2O, NO, NO2, aerosol extinction, and temperature versus pressure with an instantaneous vertical field of view of 1.6 km at the Earth limb. Latitudinal coverage is from 80-degrees-S to 80-degrees-N over the course of 1 year and includes extensive observations of the Antarctic region during spring. The altitude range of the measurements extends from about 15 km to almost-equal-to 60-130 km, depending on channel. Experiment operations have been essentially flawless, and all performance criteria either meet or exceed specifications. Internal data consistency checks, comparisons with correlative measurements, and qualitative comparisons with 1985 atmospheric trace molecule spectroscopy (ATMOS) results are in good agreement. Examples of pressure versus latitude cross sections and a global orthographic projection for the September 21 to October 15, 1992, period show the utility of CH4, HF, and H2O as tracers, the occurrence of dehydration in the Antarctic lower stratosphere, the presence of the water vapor hygropause in the tropics, evidence of Antarctic air in the tropics, the influence of Hadley tropical upwelling, and the first global distribution of HCl, HF, and NO throughout the stratosphere. Nitric oxide measurements extend through the lower thermosphere. C1 GATS INC,HAMPTON,VA. UNIV MICHIGAN,ANN ARBOR,MI 48105. SPACE TEC VENTURES INC,HAMPTON,VA. UNIV CALIF IRVINE,IRVINE,CA 92717.

The method, based on Galerkin's formalism using Hermite-Gaussian basis functions, allows a nonuniform and complex refractive index profile. The real and imaginary parts of the index are allowed to vary independently and arbitrarily as a function of position. The planar waveguide is used so the results can be compared with exact solutions. The method is more general than this, however, and can be used with any geometry. The results are inherently stationary. RP GALLAWA, RL (reprint author), NATL INST STAND & TECHNOL,DIV ELECTROMAGNET TECHNOL,BOULDER,CO 80303, USA.

Transitions have been detected for all five isotopes of nickel and within both the lower 2DELTA5/2 and upper 2DELTA3/2 spin components. The nuclear hyperfine splittings for the Ni-61 isotope (I = 3/2) have been resolved. An effective Hamiltonian has been used to fit the data which include the known vibration-rotational transitions within the 2DELTA5/2(v = 1 <-- v = 0) subsystem and a fine structure transition in the v = 0 level of the 2DELTA ground state, recently measured by CO2 LMR. From a parity splitting of the rotational transition within the X 2DELTA3/2 spin component we have determined the first LAMBDA-type doubling parameter for the X 2DELTA ground state. A set of molecular parameters for NiD in the 2DELTA ground state of NiD is given which allows a comparison with the parameter set for the well known NiH radical.

As a first approximation, the climatic changes observed after those earlier eruptions can be used to predict the changes to be expected from the more recent eruption. Ideally this intercomparison should be done with a common measurement system. Data from the advanced very high resolution radiometer (AVHRR) onboard the NOAA polar orbiting environmental satellite can be used to compare the optical properties of the aerosol layer produced by the two most recent major volcanic eruptions, El Chichon, early-April 1982, and Mount Pinatubo, mid-June 1991. In this paper, we use the error introduced into the multi-channel sea surface temperature (MCSST) fields by the volcanically-produced stratospheric aerosol layer to make a relative comparison of the size of the two eruptions. We also use aerosol optical thickness (AOT) estimates from the visible reflectance channel of the AVHRR to verify that the MCSST errors are indeed related to aerosol particle concentration in the stratosphere. During the first three months following both eruptions, these comparisons reveal that Mount Pinatubo introduced slightly less than twice (1.6 to 1.9) the amount of aerosol into the stratosphere as El Chichon.

During this period, large aerosol amounts due to the volcanic material injected into the stratosphere by Mt. Pinatubo were observed over Colorado. The observed NO2 column displays a strong anti-correlation with increasing amounts of stratospheric aerosol near 25-30 km for relatively low aerosol loadings. At higher aerosol loadings, the NO2 response appears to saturate, displaying little further reduction. The reasons for the altitude dependence of this relationship are probed with a one-dimensional stratospheric model, and it is shown that such a saturation response is to be expected for conditions where the heterogeneous reaction between N2O5 and H2O dominates the NO(x) chemistry, as in Prather [1992). The results therefore provide evidence that heterogeneous reactions influence the chemical composition of the mid-latitude stratosphere, and in the general manner predicted by theory.

Zonal mean cross-sections of [2 CH4 + H2O] show the probability of transport of Antarctic type dryness to latitudes as distant as 20-degrees-N, with major water vapor deficits evident between 10 and 100 mb to 10-degrees-S. Examination of monthly mean tropical 100 mb temperatures and of Antarctic temperatures suggests that the observations are consistent with stratospheric dryness being achieved by the combined effects of tropopause freeze-drying over the Micronesia region during northern winter and drying through the influence of the very low temperatures over Antarctica during southern winter. This paper presents these intriguing new results, and offers a possible explanation. C1 NASA,LANGLEY RES CTR,HAMPTON,VA 23665. RUTHERFORD APPLETON LAB,DIDCOT OX11 0QX,OXON,ENGLAND.

The temporal coincidence is within 4 hours. The version 9 retrievals of HALOE profiles are used, since they contain a self-consistent aerosol correction. The results reveal the limitations of comparing high resolution in situ aircraft data with a remote sounding limb scanner. Of the 5 comparison dates, 3 had HALOE/ER-2 coincidences which occurred near the edge of the Arctic vortex (911208, 920108, 920217); the vertical variability in the HALOE results and the horizontal variability in the ER-2 observations on these days show that the vortex edge is not a region where exact agreement can be expected except by chance. On a 4th comparison date, there was substantial overlap away from the vortex edge, although for some species the aircraft data show considerable variability near the coincidence point. On the 5th comparison date, the ER-2 had no overlap in altitude with the lowest HALOE observations; however, a short linear interpolation over approximately 1 km altitude results in smooth composite profiles. Generally speaking the agreement between HALOE and the ER-2 at overlap altitudes is about 12% in the case of water vapor, which shows low horizontal and vertical variability. The difference was shown to contain atmospheric variability in one case by using the HALOE viewpath superimposed on a potential vorticity map to to examine a pair of HALOE observations straddling the coincidence point in longitude. The agreement for methane, with limited data having altitude overlap, is better than 6%. C1 UNIV COLORADO,NOAA,COOPERAT INST RES ENVIRONM SCI,BOULDER,CO 80309. NOAA,AERON LAB,BOULDER,CO 80303.

Monolayer coverage of cytochrome c in a stable, functional, electroactive state was obtained in neutral phosphate buffer of low ionic strength for the thickest film (n = 15). Somewhat lower electroactive coverages were generally observed with the thinner SA monolayers (n = 5, 10). XPS revealed similar total coverage of adsorbed cytochrome c on all of the monolayers, however, suggesting the presence of some cytochrome c in a nonelectroactive conformation on the two thinner monolayers. The voltammetric responses were well-behaved and reasonably ideal although evidence for some dispersion of the formal potential value was apparent that is attributed in part to defect sites in the SA monolayer. The surface formal potential of cytochrome c, +215 mV vs NHE, is nearly identical to values previously reported for cytochrome c bound to physiological membranes. Electron transfer within the cyt c/HOOC(CH2)15S/Au structure appears to be strongly nonadiabatic, with a rate constant (k(et)-degrees) of 0.4 s-1, a postulated electron-transfer distance of ca. 28 angstrom, and a tunneling decay factor (beta) of 1.0 angstrom-1. The reorganization energy for electron transfer was estimated to be 0.35 (+/-0.15) eV. The potential usefulness of these composite monolayers for investigating biological electron transfer is highlighted. C1 N CAROLINA STATE UNIV, DEPT CHEM, RALEIGH, NC 27695 USA.

The synchrotron radiation of X24A at the national synchrotron light source was utilized to set up backreflection XSW, an experimental geometry which drastically relaxes the otherwise stringent requirement on the lattice perfection. Specifically, the lattice sites were determined with respect to the [311] reflection planes which differentiate a Ga site from an As site. With the aid of an appropriate choice of the x-ray fluorescence filter, we were able to study GaAs(100) samples with very low levels of Si impurities. On a sample doped with 4 X 10(18) cm-3 Si during the molecular-beam epitaxy growth, we found that the Si atoms predominantly occupied the Ga sites. On both an ion-implanted sample after annealing and a sample with Si impurities introduced by thermal diffusion, about 30% of the Si atoms occupied the Ga sites, and the rest occupied random sites. The As site occupation was less than 6%. Suggestions are made for further experiments with improved sensitivity. C1 NATL INST STAND & TECHNOL,GAITHERSBURG,MD. USA,ELECTR COMMAND,FT MONMOUTH,NJ 07703.

Advantages of the present method are mainly due to the inclusion of both the longitudinal and transverse components of the conductivity tensor and normalization of these quantities with respect to the zero-field longitudinal component of the conductivity tensor. This method also provides a simple, direct criterion by which one can easily determine whether the material under test is associated with a one-carrier or multicarrier conduction. The method is demonstrated for a simple one-carrier system [GaAs single-channel high-electron-mobility-transistor (HEMT) structure] and two multicarrier systems (an InGaAs-GaAs double-channel HEMT structure and two types of carriers present in an InGaAs single-channel HEMT structure). The analysis of the experimental data obtained on these samples demonstrates the utility of the method presented here for extracting carrier concentrations and mobilities in advanced semiconductor structures.

Films were fabricated using two methods: reactive sputtering and chemical vapor deposition. Film orientation and crystal structure were determined by x-ray diffraction, while surface morphology was characterized using atomic force microscopy. Conductance changes were measured continuously on film surfaces during alternating exposure and evacuation cycles to partial pressures of H-2, O2, and CO in a vacuum chamber. The conductance change was found to be proportional to the square root of the initial film conductance and was interpreted in terms of gas-induced changes in the width of a near-surface space-charge layer. The variation of conductance as a function of gas pressure during alternating exposure and evacuation cycles of H-2 and O2 is consistent with a model that involves surface reactions between coadsorbates.

A beam of dications is generated using electron impact ionization and mass selection by a quadrupole mass spectrometer. The dication beam is focused into a collision region and reaction products are monitored using a time-of-flight mass spectrometer. In addition to rare gas ions, we observe S+, CO+, and OCS+ as products from the reaCtionS of OCS2+; O+, CO+, and CO2+ are detected as products from reactions of CO22+. The relative yields of these product ions are measured directly. For both dications, the total reaction cross section increases dramatically as the collision partner is varied from He to Xe. OCS2+ reacts with He and Ne almost exclusively by collision-induced dissociation, while Ar, Kr, and Xe react predominantly by charge transfer. The charge transfer reaction of OCS2+ with Ar populates the stable ground state of the OCS+ ion, while reactions with Kr and Xe populate dissociative electronic states of OCS+ resulting in the formation of S+ ions. CO22+ reacts with He principally by collision-induced dissociation. Charge transfer reactions occur when CO22+ reacts with Ne and Ar, and these reactions populate stable states of CO2+. Kr and Xe react with CO22+ principally by charge transfer, forming unstable states of CO2+ ion which dissociate to give O+ or CO+ ions. The variations in charge transfer reactivity are modeled successfully using Landau-Zener theory. C1 UNIV COLORADO,DEPT CHEM & BIOCHEM,BOULDER,CO 80309.

The corresponding negative-ion fragments were identified in a separate mass spectrometric measurement. For S2F10, the attachment of thermal electrons (energy less than 0.1 eV) appears to result primarily in the formation of F- and SF5- with possibly a small fraction of SF4- and SF6-. The ions F-and SF5- are also produced from two attachment resonances at electron energies of about 4.5 and 9.5 eV. Both S2OF10 and S2O2F10 have unusually large dissociative attachment am sections (on the order of 10(-12) cm2) at energies near 0.1 eV. Electron attachment to S2OF10 yields primarily SOF5-, while S2O2F10 yields both SF5- an SOF5- with possible minor fractions of F-and SOF3-. Self-consistent-field calculations have been carried out on the neutral molecules and the corresponding anions to aid in the description of the observed dissociative attachment.

Values for the reduced mobility, translational temperatures (second central moments), skewness (third central moment), and excess (fourth central moment) are presented as a function of field strength up to E/N values of 201 Td, which corresponds to a mean Ba+/Ar center-of-mass collision energy of 0.371 +/- 0.038 eV. Maxima are observed in both the reduced mobility, 2.40 +/- 0.05 cm 2 V - 1 s -1 at 160 Td, and in the skewness, 0. 95 +/- 0.03 at 11 9 Td. The dimensionless skewness parameter characterizes the asymmetry of the velocity distributions and is the ratio of the cube root of the third central moment to the square root of the second central moment. A comparison of the moments of the measured 45-degrees velocity distribution to a distribution synthesized without correlation from the 0-degrees and 90-degrees distributions shows that a positive correlation exists between velocity components parallel and perpendicular to the electric field. This is the first experimental verification of velocity component correlation in drifting ions. C1 NATL INST STAND & TECHNOL,DIV QUANTUM PHYS,BOULDER,CO 80309.

The method is based on direct absorption of tunable, high-resolution infrared laser light by target molecules collisionally excited into final rotational states. The direct IR absorption approach offers high sensitivity, full quantum state resolution, a Doppler probe of final velocity components, and is applicable to any target molecule that absorbs in the near IR. Preliminary results are presented for Ar + CH4 scattering in crossed supersonic beams at a mean center-of-mass collision energy of 41 meV. Because of the high spectral resolution, the method can readily distinguish rotational fine structure states of A, F, and E symmetry in the tetrahedral group, as well as the much more energetically separated final j states. The results are compared with full quantum close-coupling calculations on two different Ar + CH4 potential energy surfaces. The state-to-state scattering results provide a sensitive measure of the potential anisotropy, and in particular probe the relative magnitudes of the different anisotropic terms in the potential (V3 and V4).

A spectrally broad decrease in reflectivity correlates with heating of the Pt lattice, and an observed shift in the CO(upsilon = 0 --> 1) transition is interpreted as heating of the 60 cm-1 in-plane frustrated translational mode. A phenomenological three temperature model that assumes the adsorbate vibrational temperature T(ads) exclusively couples to either the electronic temperature T(e) (with a time constant tau(e)) or to the lattice temperature T(lat) (with a time constant tau(lat)) describes the temporal response Of the adsorbate vibrations. The lattice phonon temperature T(lat)(z,t) and measured temperature dependence of the optical constants predict the observed spectrally broad reflectivity change. Density matrix methods model the infrared response Of the transiently heated molecule. Limits of tau(e) = 2 +/- 1 ps or tau(lat) < 1 ps are established by comparsion of predicted spectra and the data. RP GERMER, TA (reprint author), NATL INST STAND & TECHNOL,GAITHERSBURG,MD 20899, USA.

The observed mode has doubled temperature amplitudes relative to zonal velocity in the upper thermocline and shorter vertical scale structures in both zonal velocity and temperature. These departures are observed in the shallowest 200 m, where the mean currents are strong, and are related to interactions between these mean currents and the wave field. Modeled linear waves interacting with a zonally invariant zonal mean flow qualitatively explain some of the observed wave structures. However, the best quantitative assessment of wave variability is one that takes into account the full mean circulation and its gradients in all three dimensions. Specifically, by diagnosing the linearized budgets of temperature and zonal velocity for the observed and model waves we find that the observed doubling of wave temperature amplitudes is largely produced by the effects of mean vertical advection of wave temperatures. The increased wave temperature amplitudes lead to a wave pressure field which decays more rapidly with depth. Thus, for the same surface amplitudes the observed wave's pressure and velocity fluctuations in the deep ocean should be half the amplitude expected for a wave in the absence of mean flow. The effects of mean vertical advection are frequency dependent and will be stronger for longer-period waves. We conclude that models of low-frequency variability in the equatorial oceans must include the effects of a fully three-dimensional mean flow in order to realistically reproduce the structures of first vertical mode Kelvin waves.

The TaPA specimen is a commercial tantalum sheet with an unknown fabrication history. The TaG1 and TaG2 were fabricated from a powder metallurgical ingot by uniaxial compression, and the TaQ2 type samples were fabricated from commercial stock by similar uniaxial forging. TaQ2-S1 is the section closest to the centre of the forged disc, S2 is the intermediate section, and S4 is the section adjacent to the periphery. The texture of TaPA consisted of many components, including {014}[100], {111}[321BAR], {100}[010], and [111]/[100] double-fibre textures with the fibre axes oriented parallel to the normal direction. The two TaG-type specimens were dominated by the [111]/[100] double-fibre texture, accompanied by a weak {100}[010] cube texture. The three sections of TaQ2 had much higher degrees of texture than the TaG-type samples, with an extremely strong (111) peak, which consists of (111)[112BAR], (111)[112BAR], and [111] fibre texture. The average pole density of the three equivalent orientations of (111)[112BAR] was the strongest for the S1 with over 150 multiples of random distribution (mrd), and gradually decreased with increasing radial distance to about 100 mrd for the S4 section. On the other hand, the average intensity of (111)[112BAR] type orientations was increased from about 40 mrd at S1 to about 100 mrd for the S4 section.

Direct measurement of entrainment events is accomplished through conditional sampling based on ozone mixing ratio. This enables the identification of evaporatively cooled, negatively buoyant events that could otherwise only be inferred by thermodynamic jump conditions at cloud top. Evidence for evaporation cooling within entrainment events is obtained with aerosol and cloud droplet spectra. An increase in the entrainment of dry air into the cloud layer due to sinking of negatively buoyant downdrafts is offset by an increased flux of moisture through cloud base. The positive flux of moisture at cloud base is driven, in part, by the sinking of evaporatively cooled parcels through the entire cloud layer. Despite a minimum in buoyancy flux near cloud base, the cloud layer was not decoupled from the subcloud layer.

It is found that both SXE and SXA are sensitive to the crystal phase, suggesting their use as a structural probe. Comparison of the Al L2,3 SXE of alpha-Al2O3 and the Mg L2,3 SXE of MgO with local-density-approximation (LDA) density-of-states calculations shows that the agreement is good, and suggests that the final-state rule is valid for the SXE of these oxides. On the other hand, comparisons show that results of the SXA and LDA calculations are not in good agreement. A model based on atomiclike excitations explains a portion of the MgO SXA spectrum well. Evidence which suggests that the remaining features are due to band structure is given. C1 UNIV TENNESSEE, KNOXVILLE, TN 37996 USA. NATL INST STAND & TECHNOL, GAITHERSBURG, MD 20899 USA.

Slip-line field analysis of plastic deformation is used to analyze the processes of deformation and flow of the soft phase toward the sliding surface. As a result of this analysis, a general relationship for the deformation and flow of the soft phase is obtained. It is shown that the properties of both the hard matrix and the soft second-phase particles, as well as the shape and size of the particles, control the processes of deformation and flow of the soft phase. The results may be used to optimize the microstructure of self-lubricating composites to obtain the best tribological performance. C1 NATL INST STAND & TECHNOL,GAITHERSBURG,MD 20899.

The results obtained by this approach coincide with and extend those obtained by Stone and Holmes' application of the Fokker-Planck equation.

It appears that hydrothermal circulation at all spreading centers is an important exchange process between the ocean and the newly formed oceanic crust. This hydrothermal circulation may vary according to morphology and crustal composition and may also affect ridge constructional processes. The TAG (26-degrees-N) and Snake Pit (23-degrees-N) hydrothermal sites on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR) display Mn/CH4 ratios in overlying seawater similar to those of nonsedimented East Pacific Rise sites, i.e., about 0.2 mol/L. In contrast, large methane anomalies with very low Mn/CH4 ratios of 0.005 mol/L are associated with ultramafic topographic highs near 15-degrees-N, close to the axis and on ultramafic walls of the rift valley. The association of ultramafic bodies and CH4 anomalies in seawater indicates active serpentinization processes. CH4 is produced during serpentinization according to the Fisher Tropsch reaction (Charlou et al., 1991). Many ultramafic rock assemblages have been sampled on the MAR away from fracture zones, in particular by the Deep Sea Drilling Project. Changes of mechanical properties and of density of uplifted deep material in the accreting plate boundary zone caused by serpentinization may play an important role in the construction of slow spreading ridges.

At the TAG field, a Mn-oxide record, indicative of low temperature events, began at least 125,000 years and possibly 140,000 years ago with maximum intensities at 15,000, 7000 and 4000 years before present. High temperature events, giving rise to sulfide deposits, began about 100,000 years ago and have been intermittent to the present day. A presently active site has experienced intermittent pulses of activity every 4000 to 6000 years over the past 20,000 years. Decrease in activity is often marked by low temperature aragonite precipitation in chimney conduits at 4000, 7000 and 9000 years ago. After a period of quiescence lasting about 4000 years this site was reactivated about 50 years ago. The Snakepit field is much younger and no sulfides older than 4000 years have been recovered. Relict sulfide deposits are dated between 2000 and 4000 years old indicating this site was active during a quiescent period at TAG. Reactivation of Snakepit. took place about 80 years ago, and is presently concurrent with that of TAG. Comparison with hydrothermal sites on the East Pacific Rise suggests that on slow spreading ridges the major fracture systems focussing the hydrothermal discharge can be reactivated at intervals and new deposits precipitated on top of older ones, while on faster spreading ridges each pulse of activity is separated in space and time resulting in discrete deposits.

Named the North and MIR relict zones, they are located about 4 km and 2 km northeast. respectively, of the known active high-temperature sulfide mound between water depths of 3625 and 3670 m on the rift valley floor near the base of the east wall. The North zone extends about 2 km along the northern end of the lower east wall. The zone includes two moundlike features up to 30 m high by 200 m in diameter imaged by side scan sonar within a 2-km-long line of discontinuous hydrothermal deposits comprising inactive toppled and standing chimneys, layered material, and patchy dark stains on sediment photographed by the camera-temperature low. Several other moundlike features were imaged with the side scan sonar outside of the photographic coverage. The MIR relict hydrothermal zone 2 km south of the North zone, named after the MIR submersible used to investigate it, consists of three subzones: (1) a 200-m-wide area of diverse types of hydrothermal materials exposed by normal faulting at its western margin; (2) a 400-m-wide by 700-m-long central area of discrete groups of toppled and standing inactive sulfide chimneys up to 25 m high on a substrate of red metalliferous sediment and carbonate lutite; spires sampled on the highest chimneys are composed of coarse-grained, recrystallized sulfides dominated by pyrite and chalcopyrite which contain the first primary, free gold grains (2-3 mum diameter) found at a hydrothermal site on a mid-ocean ridge; and (3) a 150-m-wide hummocky area of layered hydrothermal material with the appearance of low temperature precipitates and carbonate lutite with patchy dark stains at its eastern margin. The active sulfide mound, the North zone, and the MIR zone are each located on the fractured western margins of gentle, dome-shaped areas of pillow flows typically 500 m in diameter interpreted as summits of volcanic centers that may have supplied heat to drive adjacent hydrothermal activity. The distribution and size of the active and inactive hydrothermal zones of the TAG field, the chronology, and the characteristics of relict samples recovered indicate a history of at least 100 X 10(3) years of high-temperature hydrothermal episodes with multiple over-printing stages of mineralization accompanied by alteration.

This makes mid-latitude stratospheric ozone less vulnerable to active nitrogen and more vulnerable to chlorine species. The effect of aerosol reactions on active nitrogen depends on gas phase reaction rates, so that increases in aerosol concentration following volcanic eruptions will have only a limited effect on ozone depletion at these latitudes.

Four components of the Si2p levels are observed for this system. Their relative positions are found to be independent with respect to sample preparation, suggesting no net change in the local atomic order of the square-root 3 domains. However, their relative intensities, measured for surfaces prepared at deposition temperatures of 350 and 530-degrees-C, show significant differences which are assigned to changes in the relative square-root 3 domain sizes.

Characterization was carried out by estimation of the epoxy equivalent and by IR and H-1-NMR spectroscopy. The MGE resin was cured by heating above 250-degrees-C. A decrease in the curing temperature was observed after the addition of a stoichiometric or non-stoichiometric amount of an aromatic diamine. The values of the curing temperature and the heat of the polymerization reaction (DELTAH) were independent of diamine concentration but depended on the structure of the diamine. The char yield of the cured resins at 800-degrees-C in a nitrogen atmosphere ranged from 25% to 40%, which is much higher than the values reported for epoxy resins.

This finding, if generally characteristic of the natural chemical species present in the atmosphere in forested areas, has important implications. First, the presence in large quantities of a reactive chemical compound at these high levels can significantly influence the local atmospheric chemistry. Secondly, this compound, although previously identified as a pheromone for Ips typographus (spruce bark beetle), an insect predator responsible for major forest die-backs in this region, is strongly correlated with isoprene. Since isoprene is known to be emitted by the local vegetation, the observed 2-methyl-3-buten-2-ol appears also to have a vegetative rather than entomological source.

The method is based on a rule-based pattern recognition/expert system approach which uses empirical linear corrections which are iteratively applied to two mass spectral features to yield estimates. This technique has been extensively evaluated with 400 spectra of volatile and nonvolatile compounds of pharmaceutical interest and with 31378 high quality NIST spectra of compounds of molecular weight 30-500. Subsets of the NIST spectra were evaluated including a 23989 spectra volatile set. The overall median and average absolute deviations from the true molecular weights of the 400 spectra were 1.5 and 13 daltons. For the large NIST set and volatile subset the overall median and average absolute deviations were 1.8-2.0 and 13-17 daltons. In both sets of spectra the best results were obtained with the nonhalobenzene and unknown classes. Due to misclassification errors better results were obtained by bypassing the classifier. Median errors with spectra with the molecular ion present were ca. twenty times lower than those without the molecular ion. The present system can rapidly produce molecular weight estimates with median absolute errors of 2 (average 15) daltons.

Tyrosine 115 is located in domain II of the protein (the xenobiotic substrate binding domain) and is the first residue in this domain to be shown to play a direct role in catalysis. The 1.8-angstrom structure of isoenzyme 3-3 in complex with (9S,10S-9-(S-glutathionyl)-10-hydroxy-9,10-dihydrophenanthrene, one of the diastereomeric products of the reaction of GSH with phenanthrene 9,10-oxide, indicates that the hydroxyl group of Tyr115 is within hydrogen-bonding distance of the 10-hydroxyl group of the bound product and, by implication, is proximal to the oxirane oxygen of the substrate in the Michaelis complex. Site-specific replacement of Tyr115 with phenylalanine has profoundly different effects on catalysis depending on the type of reaction and whether the rate-limiting step in catalysis is a chemical step or a physical step. Stopped flow measurements of the rate constants for product release and viscosity effects on the steady-state kinetics establish that the rate-limiting step in catalysis with phenanthrene 9,10-oxide (k(cat) = 0.4 s-1) is probably a chemical one, whereas the physical step of product dissociation (k(off)) is rate-limiting in the reaction of 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (k(cat) = 20 s-1). The Y115F mutant is severely impaired in catalyzing the addition of GSH to phenanthrene 9,10-oxide (k(cat) = 0.0044 s-1), evidence that the -OH of Tyr115 provides electrophilic assistance in the epoxide ring opening. In contrast, the Y115F mutant is a better catalyst toward 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (k(cat) = 72 s-1) than is the native enzyme. The enhanced rates of product release in the mutant are ascribed to the loss of hydrogen bonds between the -OH of Tyr115 and the side chain -OH and main chain NH of serine 209, interactions that block the channel to the active site or inhibit the segmental motion of the protein.

Rate coefficients for the reactions CH3S + 03 --> products (1) and CH3S + NO2 --> CH3SO + NO (2) were measured to be k1(T) = (1.98 +/- 0.38) X 10(-12) exp[(290 +/-40)/T] cm3 molecule-1 s-1 and k2(T) = (2.06 +/- 0.44) x 10(-11) exp[(320 +/- 40)/T] cm3 MolecUle-1 s-1. The reactions of the weakly bound CH3SOO adduct with O3, NO2, and NO were studied at low temperatures. The rate coefficients for the adduct reactions are as follows: CH3SOO + 03 --> products (4), k4 < 8 X 10(-13) CM3 molecule-1 s-1 at T = 227 K; CH3SOO + NO2 --> products (5), k5 = (2.2 +/- 0.6) X 10(-11) CM3 molecule-1 s-1 at T = 227-246 K; and CH3SOO + NO --> products (6), k6 = (1.1 +/- 0.4) x 10(-11) CM3 Molecule-1 s-1 from T = 227-256 K. The measured values of k5 and k6 were independent of temperature and pressure over the limited ranges employed. The atmospheric implications of these findings are discussed.

Since growth-retarded babies have a decreased chance of survival, intrauterine growth retardation would be expected to have been selected against in populations long resident at high altitude. We have previously reported that Tibetan babies born at 3,658 m weighed more than their North or South American altitude counterparts. This study sought to determine whether Tibetans were protected from altitude-associated intrauterine growth retardation. We compared birth weights in Tibetans living at low altitude in Kathmandu, Nepal (elevation 1,200 m), or at high altitude in Lhasa, Tibet Autonomous Region, China (elevation 3,658 m). Birth weights were similar in 45 low-altitude and 34 high-altitude Tibetan births regardless of whether all infants or only full-term births were considered, or whether birth weight was adjusted for variation in maternal parity, gestational age, and infant sex. In comparison with literature observations, the altitude-associated difference in birth weight was smallest in Tibetans, intermediate in South America, and greatest in North America. These data support the hypothesis that Tibetans are protected from altitude-associated intrauterine growth retardation and suggest that selection for optimization of birth weight at high altitude has occurred in Tibetans.

Mass spectrometric interferences from the sample matrices prevented the direct determination of Cd, Ag, Mo, and Ni in these materials. The ICP-MS was used in a semiquantitative survey mode to identify interferences and to develop customized separations. The fact that isotope dilution analysis requires neither 100% recovery nor absolute isolation of the element(s) of interest results in considerable flexibility in the design of separations. Separated analytical samples were introduced into the ICP-MS, and high accuracy quantitative results were based on precise isotope ratio measurements made in the peak jump mode. Four transition metals, Cd, Ag, Mo, and Ni, in the nanogram to microgram per gram range were determined in five different SRMs with an average bias uncertainty and imprecision of less than 1%.

The objective of this study is to compare the implications of these concepts with observations of the seafloor. The analyses are based on multibeam sonar bathymetric data from two areas in the Pacific Ocean: the East Pacific Rise at 13-degrees-N/104-degrees-W and the Juan de Fuca Ridge at 44.8-degrees-N/130-degrees-W Using methods from geostatistics - the theory of regionalized variables - the bathymetric data are considered a stochastic process satisfying the intrinsic hypothesis. The essential step in the analysis is the application of a variogram criterion to test for self-similarity and self-affinity. Variograms are calculated for a range of scales to analyse the spatial continuity of the process depending on resolution. This leads to the following results: (1) The seafloor is not self-similar nor self-affine. Instead, scale-dependent spatial structures are observed, which may be related to scale-specific geologic processes; (2) According to the definition of a fractal as an object of Hausdorff dimension strictly exceeding its topological dimension, the seafloor may be a fractal. However, at small scales the seafloor is smoother than mean-square differentiable; (3) Possible scaling behaviour would call for a more complex concept than self-similarity or self-affinity based on the sequence of scale-dependent models; (4) According to model parameters that are specific for each area, slow and fast spreading oceanic ridges can be distinguished. The variogram criterion provides an easy-to-use tool to test whether any studied geophysical field, and more generally, any spatially defined process, is indeed scaling.

Since that initial report, literally hundreds of laboratories have utilized this methodology for the immobilization of enzymes, antigens, antibodies, receptors, and other high and low mol wt compounds. Today silane coupling is one of the commonly used techniques in the arsenal of the biochemist for the binding of material of all sorts to inorganic surfaces. Inorganic materials come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and characteristics. Today silane coupling is one of the most used coupling methods for the preparation of biosensing devices. Sol-gel entrapped enzymes are also produced by the application of silane technology by the polymerization of the silane to form glass-like materials with entrapped protein. This review will discuss the general preparation and characterization of silane coupled proteins with special emphasis on enzymes and describe in detail the actual methods for the silanization and specific chemical coupling of proteins to the silanized carrier.

The autocorrelation function is used to determine the average spectral shape of pointlike sources that are still embedded in the background. We find that pointlike sources can account for 40%-60% of the observed background intensity in the 0.5-0.9 keV band (M band). The background spectrum is then decomposed into a pointlike source component characterized by a power law dI/dE almost-equal-to 9.5 E-0.7 keV s-1 cm-2 keV-1 sr-1 and a diffuse component represented by a two-temperature plasma. We find that whereas the 10(6) K gas in the Local Bubble dominates the background below about 0.3 keV, about 40% of the background radiation in the M band arises in a diffuse thermal component with a temperature of approximately 2.2 x 10(6) K. This component may represent an important constituent of the interstellar or intergalactic medium. C1 UNIV COLORADO,CTR ASTROPHYS & SPACE ASTRON,BOULDER,CO 80309.

Four of these samples were collected in early May, sixteen in mid-July, and the remaining ones in December 1989, during three segments of the ALIVE field initiative. Analytical electron microscope analyses of aerosol deposits and individual particles from these samples were performed to physically and chemically characterize the major particulate species present in the aerosol. Air-mass trajectories arriving at the sampling area in the May program were quite different from those calculated for the July period. In general, the May trajectories showed strong westerly winds, while the July winds were weaker and southerly, consistently passing over or very near the border cities of El Paso, Texas, and Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. Aerosol samples collected during the May period were predominantly fine (0.1-0.5 mum dia.), liquid H2SO4 droplets. Samples from the July experiment were comprised mostly of fine, solid (NH4)2SO4 or mostly neutralized sulfate particles. In both sampling periods, numerous other particle classes were observed, including many types with probable terrestrial or anthropogenic sources. The numbers of these particles, however, were small when compared with the sulfates. Composite particle types, including sulfate/crustal and sulfate/carbonaceous, were also found to be present. The major differences in aerosol composition between the May and July samples (i.e. the extensive neutralization of sulfates in the July samples) can be explained by considering the different aerosol transport pathways and the proximity of the July aerosol to the El Paso/Juarez urban plume. Winds during the December experiment were quite variable, and may have contributed to the widely varying aerosol compositions observed in these samples. When the aircraft sampled the El Paso/Juarez urban plume, high concentrations of carbonaceous particles were collected. These C-rich particles were of three distinct types, two of which showed combustion morphologies and the third an irregular morphology. Concurrent aethalometer measurements of aerosol black carbon concentration were well correlated (r = 0.83) with the total carbonaceous particle fraction in the aerosol samples. Carbonaceous particles were not observed in abundance in any of the May or July samples (even when the winds passed over El Paso), and we attribute the high concentrations in December to increased wintertime burning of wood, fossil fuels and other combustibles in the urban area.

Aerosol size distribution was measured from the surface up to 4500 m above sea level (asl) over the particle size range 0.1 approximately 32 mum, using two Particle Measuring Systems (PMS) probes mounted on the wings of the NOAA King Air research aircraft. Vertical profiles of aerosol number concentrations of both fine- (0.1-2.0 mum) and coarse- (> 2.0 mum) particle modes show seasonal differences, with higher number concentrations and higher mixed layer heights during summers. The measured aerosol size distribution data of each ALIVE intensive were averaged for boundary layer and free troposphere regions. These data mostly exhibit bi-modal distributions, typical for the continental atmospheric aerosols. Exceptions were the free troposphere size distributions measured during December 1989 (ALIVE III) and June 1990 (ALIVE IV), which resemble Junge's power-law distribution. Each of the averaged aerosol size distributions was approximated by the sum of two log-normal distributions. Different characteristics of aerosol size distribution were observed between the two summer measurements of 1989 and 1990. Back-trajectory analysis revealed that decreased aerosol concentrations were observed during June 1990 when the air mass was transported from the southwestern U.S.A.

The measurements were made over south-central New Mexico in February and July 1989. The winter measurements revealed a shallow, polluted planetary boundary layer with cleaner air above. The summer measurements showed a uniformly mixed planetary boundary layer extending from ground level to the operational ceiling of 4.5 km above ground. In both cases the total optical thickness values for the column were similar (0.03) and the fractional contribution of aerosol absorption to the extinction was between 5 and 10%. These results suggest that the aerosol extinction in summer and winter is similar, even though the planetary boundary layer thickness is quite different during the two seasons. They also demonstrate that a suitably instrumented light aircraft can profile the optical properties of the troposphere with high sensitivity and good spatial resolution.

These flocs were produced in a Couette-type flocculator under a variety of combinations of fluid shear and solid concentrations. In the calculation of floc porosities, a floc settling model was employed that can consider the effects of creeping flow through a floc on its settling speed. Results show that floc structure can be well described as a fractal with a fractal dimension of 1.53-1.64 for the floc size range tested. The effects of flocculation conditions, such as fluid shear and solid concentration, on floc porosity and structure were examined. It was found that floc porosity and fractal dimension were not influenced by solid concentration, but they increased as fluid shear decreased. Empirical expressions for the porosity of drilling mud flocs are obtained from both the floc settling model and Stokes' law. For solid volume fraction in flocs, the relative difference between these two expressions could be as much as 38%. However, the fractal dimensions estimated based on the two settling models are nearly the same.

Sterols were identified from 11 isolates of Tetraselmis, a unicellular Prasinophyte alp used frequently as food in mariculture. 2. The principal sterol in eight isolates was either 24-methylenecholesterol or 24-methylcholesterol; the latter was determined to be campesterol in all cases. 3. Campesterol is the first 24alpha sterol to be reported in the Prasinophyceae. 4. In the remaining three isolates, cholesterol was the principal sterol with smaller amounts of 24-methylenecholesterol and campesterol present; in two of these strains total sterol approached 3% of dry weight. 5. This is the first report of cholesterol as the principal sterol of a Prasinophyte; the C28 sterols found in Tetraselmis are the dominant sterols in most Prasinophyceae studied to date.

The same morphological abnormality occurred in Haemulon sciurus, H. parrai, H. plumieri, Lagodon rhomboides, Archosargus rhomboidalis, Diplodus argenteus, Lutjanus griseus, Kyphosus sectatrix, Sphoeroides testudineus, and Lactrophyrys quadricornis. Another morphological abnormality, scale disorientation, was found in six species: H. parrai, L. rhomboides, A. rhomboidalis, L. griseus, and Abudefduf saxatilis. Pugheadedness, jaw deformities, and other abnormalities also were observed. The occurrence of similar deformities across such a spectrum of fishes from the same location suggests the deformity was induced by something in the environment common to all these species. Although there could be other explanations for the unusual cluster of abnormalities, it is suspected that the same environmental contaminant or group of contaminants is adversely affecting a common developmental pathway of these fishes.

Application of PCA to the data matrix showed that the structure underlying a diversity of salinity distributions could be represented by only five Principal Components corresponding to five overlapping salinity zones: freshwater to 4 parts per thousand, 2-14 parts per thousand, 11-18 parts per thousand 16-27 parts per thousand, and 24 parts per thousand to marine. The derived salinity zonation showed both differences and similarities to the Venice System of estuarine zonation. However, unlike the static and essentially descriptive Venice System, the new method will allow researchers to establish biologically-relevant local salinity zones, and then develop hypotheses about the processes that give rise to the resulting patterns. Examples of this procedure are given for the mid-Atlantic region. The method used here may also be useful for studying distributions across other environmental gradients, such as temperature, pH, substrate, turbidity, vegetation, or latitude.

Modern lithographic techniques for producing custom moire gratings with a frequency up to 250 l/mm are described. On a probing station equipped with a video system, pseudo-color moire fringes are produced using the scanning lines of the color charge-coupled-device (CCD) camera. Fringe multiplication from 1 to 5 is possible with correct combinations of magnification and grating pitch. An analysis is given to show that strain sensitivity depends only on the number of scanning lines used to record the image. The grating pitch and the magnification are important because they reduce the gage length of the strain measurement. The high-magnification scanning moire was used to study plastic- strain fields in an aluminum tensile specimen. Local disturbances in the strain field were observed at 2 to 2.5 percent applied strain. These discontinuities became more significant at higher levels of applied strain.

The equations enable one to perform calculations directly with delta and epsilon quantities commonly reported in the literature. The main cause of the change occurring today is the combustion of fossil fuel carbon with lower deltaC-13 values. The course of this isotopic anomaly in atmosphere and oceans can provide new constraints on the carbon budgets of these reservoirs. Recently published deltaC-13 isotopic data of total inorganic carbon in the oceans [Quay et al., 1992] appear to lead to incompatible results with respect to the uptake of fossil fuel CO2 by the oceans if two different approaches Lo the data are taken. Consideration of the air-sea isotopic disequilibrium leads to an uptake estimate of only a few tenths of a gigaton C (Gt, for 10(15) g) per year, whereas the apparent change in the ocean deltaC-13 inventory leads to an estimate of more than 2 Gt C yr-1. Both results are very uncertain with presently available data. The isotopic ratio has the advantage that the signal-to-noise ratio for the measurement of the uptake of the isotopic signal by the oceans is better than for the uptake of total carbon. The drawback is that isotopic exchange with carbon reservoirs that are difficult to characterize introduces uncertainty into the isotopic budget. The accuracy requirements for the measurements are high, demanding careful standardization at all stages. C1 CARNEGIE INST WASHINGTON,DEPT PLANT BIOL,STANFORD,CA 94305.

The aim of this project is to improve our understanding of the role of upper ocean biological processes in controlling surface chemical distributions, and to develop approaches for assimilating large data sets relevant to this problem. A comparison of model predicted chlorophyll with satellite coastal zone color scanner observations shows that the ecosystem model is capable of responding realistically to a variety of physical forcing environments. Most of the discrepancies identified are due to problems with the GCM model. The new production predicted by the model is equivalent to 2 to 2.8 mol m-2 yr-1 of carbon uptake, or 8 to 12 GtC/yr on a global scale. The southern half of the subtropical gyre is the only major region of the model with almost complete surface nitrate removal (nitrate<0.1 mmol m-3). Despite this, almost the entire model is nitrate limited in the sense that any addition of nitrate supply would go predominantly into photosynthesis. The only exceptions are some coastal upwelling regions and the high latitudes during winter. where nitrate goes as high as approximately 10 mmol m-3.

The task that we have investigated is that of quantifying radioisotope uptake in regions-of-interest (ROI's). We first describe a robust methodology for the use of the MLE method with clinical data which contains only one adjustable parameter: the kernel size for a Gaussian filtering operation that determines final resolution and expected regional error. Simulation results are used to establish the fundamental characteristics of the reconstructions obtained by our methodology, corresponding to the case in which the transition matrix is perfectly known. Then, data from 72 independent human brain FDG scans from four patients are used to show that the results obtained from real data are consistent with the simulation, although the quality of the data and of the transition matrix have an effect on the final outcome. The most important results are that, for equal resolution, expected pixel-by-pixel error in the MLE and sieves reconstructions are lower in the regions of low counts than in the regions of high counts, the lowest being for the MLE. In contrast, FBP reconstructions show an expected error that is high and nearly independent of the number of counts in a region. As a consequence, the determination of radioisotope uptake in ROI's of high activity has approximately the same standard deviation in MLE, sieves, and FBP reconstructions, while the standard deviation in ROI's of low uptake is substantially lower for MLE, while sieves take an intermediate value. The use of a well-constructed Monte Carlo transition matrix improves all the results with real data in a measurable way. We conclude that our proposed MLE methodology and the method of sieves have a definite advantage over FBP. There is a tradeoff between shorter computation time, a slight bias but lower standard deviation for MLE and longer computation time, a basically unbiased estimation but higher standard deviation for sieves.

The reactions studied were (1) Cl2.- + N3-, (2) Br2.- + N3-, (3) Cl2.- + SCN-, (4) Br2.- + SCN-, (5) SO4.- + Cl-, (6) SO4.- + CO32-, and (7) N3. + I-. The rate constants were corrected for ionic strength and ranged from 10(6) to 10(9) L mol-1 s-1. The Arrhenius activation energies varied from 2 to 12 kJ mol-1 for the first 4 reactions, were higher for reaction 6, and negative for reaction 5. The pre-exponential factors also varied considerably with log A ranging from 5 to 14. The values of k298 decreased in most cases by more than an order of magnitude upon increasing the acetonitrile (ACN) fraction from 0 to 70%. For most reactions, this decrease in k298 was due to changes in log A with little regularity in the small changes observed in E(a). For reaction 7, k298 was practically unchanged due to compensating effects of the changes in E(a) and log A with ACN mol fraction, giving an isokinetic relationship. An isokinetic relationship was also observed in the case of reaction 6; E(a) and log A change in parallel while changing ACN mol fraction. Reaction 3 (Cl2.- + SCN-) was also studied in water/t-butanol and water/acetic acid mixtures. Linear correlation was found between log k and the dielectric constant of the medium for water/ACN and water/t-BuOH but the lines for the two solvent mixtures had different slopes, suggesting specific solvation effects in addition to the primary solvent polarity effects. With water/acetic acid k decreased and then increased upon addition of acetic acid. RP PADMAJA, S (reprint author), NATL INST STAND & TECHNOL,GAITHERSBURG,MD 20899, USA.

The branching ratios for the quenching of O(1D) to O(P))-P-3 by the above molecules were also determined. From these measurements, the rate coefficients for reactive and nonreactive loss of O(1D) were calculated. These results are discussed in terms of their atmospheric relevance and trends in reactivity of O(1D) with hydrocarbons upon halogen substitution.

Time-series measurements were made at 13, 35, and 95 m with a K(a)-band scatterometer aimed upwind at 30-degrees incidence angle and vertical polarization. Average normalized radar cross-section sigma0 values from all fetches follow a common trend for sigma0 as a function of u*, so the fetch dependence is negligible. An empirical power-law model yields a high correlation between sigma0 and u*, but because systematic anomalies arise, we re-examine a turbulence approach that delineates low and high regimes with a transition at u* of approximately 25 cm s-1. Using this criteria, the data are well represented by a two-section power-law relationship between sigma0 and u*. C1 INST MECAN STAT TURBULENCE,F-13303 MARSEILLE,FRANCE.

The data below the dip around 0.2 nm in the cross section have been fitted to a function that accounts for multiphonon scattering. Measurements performed on single crystals with increased lattice distortion (or mosaic spread) show an increase in the cross section at long wavelengths.

The difference in backscattered returns from instruments widely separated in wavelength holds information on the characteristic sizes of the scatterers. The method compares theoretically expected backscatter coefficients to observed backscatter returns from NOAA's 3.2-cm; and 8.6-mm radars and the 10.6-mum lidar. Measurements were taken during a two-phase cloud experiment held in northeastern Colorado from 6 September to 5 October 1989 and 15 February to 31 March 1991. It was found that the particle sizes estimated from the lidar-radar method agree closely with in situ aircraft measurements. Case studies are presented to demonstrate the method and the potential for multiwavelength remote sensing of cirrus cloud radiative properties. C1 COLORADO STATE UNIV,FT COLLINS,CO 80523.

When the PMM is applied to the disdrometer population of Z's and R's one finds that the Z-R relations differ significantly from those obtained by linear regression of their logarithms. Such regression relations are deceptive. When PMM is applied to the set of Z(e)'s and R's we get a family of Z(e)-R relations as a function of range which differ significantly from the traditional disdrometer-based Z-R relation for hurricanes by Jorgensen and Willis (JW). These new relations are approximate power laws with slope (exponent) which decrease with increasing range. At ranges less than about 35 km the reflectivity in the eyewall exceeds that in the outer bands and is consistent with the expectation from the disdrometer-based relations. At greater ranges the converse is true due to beamwidth averaging over a broader beam and different vertical profiles of reflectivity in the eyewall and outer bands. We also devise a method to obtain an ''effective zero-range'' Z(e)-R relation. This differs from the JW relation by -8.2 dBZ and reflects an error in the radar calibration. This approach is a novel way to calibrate an airborne meteorological radar. The methods may be used with any type of rainstorms and provide a means of using airborne radar and disdrometer systems for air-truthing rainfall measurements from space.

This method allows more detailed conclusions about the exchange coupling of magnetic layers across nonmagnetic interlayers and the magnetic in-plane anisotropy in such systems. We present a theoretical fit to the spin-flip and non-spin-flip data which leads to quantitative conclusions about the spin structure. These spin polarized neutron reflectivity results coincide well with the macroscopic magnetic properties which were measured using the magneto-optic Kerr effect revealing a newly discovered uniaxial anisotropy in this system.

The complex dielectric function and thickness of the whole superlattice and the thickness of the native oxide overlayer were simultaneously determined by an inversion technique from data in the 1.5-5.0 eV region. The main optical critical points E0, E0 + DELTA0, E1, E1 + DELTA1, and E2 were deduced by line-shape fitting of the second derivative of the complex dielectric function of the superlattice to the analytical line-shape expression. The interface roughness is found to shift the optical transitions, except E2, to higher energy and broaden their line shapes. A simple interpretation of the shift and broadening is given. The interface roughness and layer thicknesses obtained by SE are found to be consistent with the results of x-ray diffraction and Raman scattering studies previously reported. The results in this study demonstrate the capability of the post-growth nondestructive characterization by SE to provide useful information about the interface quality of superlattice structures, and consequently to optimize the MBE growth conditions in order to achieve the desired structural parameters.

The final results are restricted to times determined to be completely or nearly cloud-free. The irradiances from 367 such times range from 60 to 435 W m-2, and results indicate that the modeled irradiances and those measured directly using a pyrgeometer agree to within 5 W m-2 at individual sites and to within less than 0.2 W m-2 when averaged over all four sites, neglecting any site-specific biases. The standard deviations and standard errors associated with these results are roughly 10 and 1 W m-2, respectively. An unbiased estimate of the agreement between the model and observations results in a mean difference of 0.62 W m-2 with standard deviation of 5 W m-2 but an even larger 95% confidence interval because of the small sample size. The comparison variance can be logically ascribed to a number of different sources, including atmospheric variability and inhomogeneity, as well as to short-term instrument and LOWTRAN7 input variations. LOWTRAN7 and the observations agree better, in the mean, than the commonly accepted uncertainties for either would suggest. Maximum cloud radiative forcing at the surface for each site is quantified as a by-product of the comparison process.

Stretching is implemented here for the vertical coordinate of an oceanic model that employs Chebyshev polynomials to represent the vertical structure. A three-dimensional test demonstrates how, for a fixed number of vertical levels, the technique may permit greater accuracy in the simulation of linear internal waves, by allowing the placement of grid points closer to the regions of maximum curvature in the represented velocity fields. A one-dimensional test demonstrates enhanced resolution of mixed-layer dynamics by allowing the placement of more of the available grid points, evenly spaced, near the ocean surface, with broader spacing below. These improvements are achieved with negligible computational overhead. While the method cannot yield improved accuracy for all situations, in appropriate cases it permits reduced computation for an accurate result by reducing the number of basis functions necessary for adequate resolution of the modeled fields, Some guidelines are presented for its application, along with cautions as to where the technique is disadvantageous.

This project's primary objective is to promote international cooperation (among all ground-based and spacecraft-based observers as well as modelers, theoreticians and numerical simulators) to study interplanetary phenomena that are initiated at the Sun and then propagate through heliospheric space (in particular, toward Earth). Scientifically, this strategy will advance our understanding of the physical processes of the linkages between solar activity and the subsequent interplanetary activity and, in many cases, geomagnetic activity. Understanding the transfer of mass, energy, and momentum from the Sun to Earth under a variety of solar perturbations, therefore, is a major objective of this Project.

The results show that there is a maximum in low clouds over the equatorial front during the cold season of 1988 when the front and cross-isotherm winds were strong. The low-cloud maximum was reduced in the warm El Nino year of 1987, consistent with the weakening of the front. Instability waves along the equatorial front were pronounced during the summer and autumn of 1988. The results show a strong association between visible cloud and the SST waves, with enhanced (reduced) cloudiness in the warm troughs (cold crests) of the waves.

An El Nino episode was in progress. The 100-m-thick mixed layer depth, the mixed-layer temperature, and the depth-averaged temperature below the thermocline were similar in both data products. Considerable differences occurred in the representation of the 15-degrees-25-degrees-C thermocline, such as the depth-averaged temperatures above and below the 20-degrees-C isotherm, the east-west slope of the 20-degrees-C isotherm, and a 1000-km-wide depression. The longitudinal-averaged root-mean-square difference between the hindcast and observed depths of the center of the thermocline was 17 m. Most of the disparities could be attributed to a high wavenumber transient event that the model-based assimilation system was not intended to resolve.

The classification system is hierarchical, reflects ecological relationships, optimizes discrimination by satellite remote sensors, and is usable with Geographic Information Systems (GIS). It is compatible with other data bases, e.g., the National Wetland Inventory (NWI) and the USGS Land Use/Land Cover Classification System. The C-CAP classification system includes three major categories: uplands, wetlands, and water and submerged lands. While the latter two categories are the primary areas of interest for NOAA, uplands are also included because land use there may influence adjacent wetlands and water bodies. The C-CAP classification was designed for use with satellite imagery; it represents an adaptation of three earlier systems: ANDERSON et al. (1976), COWARDIN et al. (1979), and USGS (1992).

These electron-deficient ''N-compounds'' included: N-(4-chlorophenyl)-glycine (NCPG), N-methyl-N-(4-chlorphenyl)-glycine (NMNCPG), and N-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-glycine (NDCPG). An experimental three-step dentin-bonding protocol that consisted of sequential application of acidic ferric oxalate solution, an N-compound in acetone, and a surface-active comonomer in acetone was used. The first and third steps were held constant throughout the study. Each N-compound (NCPG, NMNCPG, NDCPG) was used in step two at ten concentrations ranging from 0.0 mol/L (pure acetone) to 5 x 10(-1) mol/L, depending on solubility. After overnight storage in distilled water, the dentin-to-composite bonds were broken in tension. The data were analyzed with ANOVA, and multiple comparisons were performed with Duncan's Multiple Range test. All statistical tests were controlled at alpha = 0.05. At 5 x 10(-3) mol/L, the relative effectiveness of the three N-compounds (as measured by tensile bond strengths) was NMNCPG > NCPG > NDCPG. Of all concentrations studied, the mean bond strengths produced with NMNCPG were statistically as-good as or better than those produced by the other two compounds, and NCPG was always as good as or better than NDCPG. Increased electron-withdrawing from the nitrogen of the amine group by the substituents narrowed the effective concentration range for dentin bonding and, in general, produced lower mean bond strengths between dentin and composite.

Evolution of a new cracking pattern of ''ortho-lateral'' cracks, originating at the intact corners of the Vickers indentation and running orthogonal to the classic-lateral cracks and parallel to the new fracture surface, has been observed. In some instances postfailure extension of the classic-lateral cracks toward the surface was also observed. Enhanced residual tensile stress from relaxation of constraints on the indentation-plastic cavity by the generation of a fracture surface is postulated to drive the subsidiary cracking. A simple qualitative model to explain this phenomenon is presented. Possible implications of such postfailure subsidiary cracking on residual-stress-driven flaws, postmortem fractography, and wear in ceramics are discussed.

The latter constitutes remote forcing, with eddy activity propagating westward from the coast into the California Current via Rossby wave dynamics. In this study, two wind-driven models are utilized to test the relative significance of these two sources. One is an eddy resolving quasigeostrophic (QG) model, with the ability to represent baroclinic instability but not the coastal response to winds. The other is a 1 1/2-layer primitive equation (PE) model with the ability to represent the coastal response to winds but not baroclinic instability. Both models have the same spatial grid (i.e., approximately 20 km) and are driven by the same coarse-grid wind-stress forcing fields over the same one-year time period (i.e., January 1987 to December 1987). This period is chosen because of the availability of Geosat altimetric sea-level observations with which to verify these models. Earlier, White and colleagues analyzed these same altimetric sea-level observations, finding dominant mesoscale eddy activity occurring on wavelength scales of 400-800 km and period scales of 6-12 months. This mesoscale variability propagates to the west at 2-5 cm s-1, faster at lower latitude, consistent with Rossby wave dynamics. Moreover, the eddy variance is largest next to the coast, maximum between Monterey and Cape Mendocino, and southwest of Point Conception. The PE model is able to simulate qualitatively this distribution of the eddy variance as it appears in altimetric sea level, yielding significant coherence and phase between model and observed sea-level residuals along longitude/time matrices at 30-degrees-N and 40-degrees-N. The QG model, on the other hand, is found incapable of simulating the main features of this distribution of eddy variance. The reason for the agreement between the PE model and the satellite altimetric sea-level observations is that the dominant source of mesoscale eddy activity on these time and space scales is the wind forcing adjacent to the coast, modified by both Rossby and Kelvin wave dynamics.

The observations have several characteristics suggestive of a vertically propagating, first meridional mode (l = 1) long-wavelength Rossby wave: phase lines that slope downward from east to west indicative of upward and westward phase propagation, amplitude maxima parallel to phase lines, and nearly symmetric off-equatorial maxima of annual amplitude. Estimates of zonal wavenumber, vertical wavenumber, and the location of maxima of isotherm displacements are consistent with those of the l = 1 Rossby wave. A solution to a linear continuously stratified model, driven by a version of the observed annual wind field, confirms this interpretation. The solution is dominated by a vertically propagating, l = 1 Rossby wave. The wave is generated primarily by the westward-propagating component of the equatorial zonal wind field; it carries energy along WKB ray paths into the deep ocean. Both amplitude and phase of the model density field agree well with the observations. There are, however, two prominent differences between the observations and the solution: first, in the solution a boundary-reflected l = 3 Rossby wave is present in the deep eastern Pacific but is apparently absent in the data; second, the model solution is nearly symmetric about the equator, while the observations are symmetric in phase but have larger amplitude in the Northern Hemisphere. Thus, efficient vertical propagation of Rossby wave energy through the thermocline into the deep ocean appears to be an important oceanic process. The lack of this process in single active-layer models may explain the unrealistically high amplitudes of off-equatorial variability that are produced in them, since such models necessarily trap all energy in the surface layer.

All measurements were performed at 35 K and in the 0-5 T field range. Hysteresis measurements revealed an irreversibility field of about 2 T. Existing models predict identical field-cooled (fc) and zero-field-cooled (zfc) magnetizations and vanishing time dependence above this field. Although the identical fc and zfc magnetizations are in fact observed, the time dependence vanishes only for flux penetration after zero-field cooling; a remanence is preserved after field cooling and decays with a finite relaxation rate. Activation energies calculated on the basis of the thermal activation model display a pronounced field dependence, and are lower for flux penetration than for flux expulsion in high fields (H greater-than-or-equal-to 3 T) for all orientations. This behavior of extreme layered superconductors contradicts classical theoretical models and questions the original definition of the irreversibility line as well. All of our results are consistent with the recent theory of lock-in transition, and can be well interpreted by using those principles. C1 UNIV COLORADO,DEPT PHYS,BOULDER,CO 80309.

Fluorescence energy transfer measurements were recorded for two comparative systems: (1) adsorbed fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) tagged IgG and tetramethylrhodamine isothiocyanate (TRITC) tagged nylon; (2) FITC labeled IgG and TRITC labeled anti-rabbit IgG (anti-IgG). These experiments were used to examine the nylon/IgG and IgG/solution interfaces, respectively, as a function of the surrounding buffer pH and washing conditions. Results were correlated with IgG mass loading measured by the bicinchoninic acid (BCA) method and anti-IgG binding activity assessed using TRITC-tagged anti-IgG. When washed with pH 6.9 phosphate buffer, the amount of adsorbed IgG increased with the concentration of IgG used in the adsorption step. Fluorescence data were consistent with an IgG bilayer model, where the upper layer did not interact with the TRITC labeled nylon surface but bound to and exchanged with solution borne anti-IgG. After washing with carbonate buffer at pH 8.7, only a tightly adsorbed, unexchangeable layer of IgG remained on the nylon surface, with mass corresponding to less than a monolayer. In a pH 8.7 buffer, no energy transfer took place between adsorbed FITC labeled IgG and the TRITC tagged anti-IgG although anti-IgG did adhere to the nylon, suggesting coadsorption of anti-IgG rather than immunochemical binding. When the buffer was replaced by a pH 6.9 phosphate buffer, energy transfer was observed, indicating that binding had occurred. C1 NATL INST STAND & TECHNOL,CARB,DIV BIOTECHNOL,ROCKVILLE,MD 20850.

When mortality (LC50) was the endpoint, the results indicated that R. abronius was almost-equal-to 20 times more tolerant to tributyltin than either haustoriid species; however, when mortality plus reburial behavior (EC50) was assessed, the difference was only about 10 times. The bioconcentration factor (BCF) was also consistently lower in R. abronius (11.1 to 16.5 times) than in the haustoriids; however, when the LD50 was calculated, the concentration in the tissues associated with 50% mortality for each species was not significantly different. The large disparity in species' response is attributed to reduced uptake and a potentially greater ability to metabolize this compound by R. abronius. An analysis of TBT uptake confirmed that R. abronius was able to accumulate less TBT and hence maintain a low body burden for a given water concentration. The results of a separate uptake study were used to formulate a hypothesis for observed differences in reburial behavior. Because the rate of TBT uptake was lower in R. abronius, we propose that the slower rise in toxicant body burden allowed for a gradual response in this species which included a sublethal effect (non reburial), compared to a rapid rise in the body burden for E. estuarius which caused the response to quickly proceed from no effect to death.

Concentrations of copper in fish collected from sites in Galveston Bay, Texas are used to illustrate bias in estimating mean concentrations when such relationships exist. Adjustment for bias and reduction in variance estimates are made by analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), both of which can improve the power to detect spatial and temporal trends. Other biological covariates can partly explain observed metal variations in fish livers. Further improvements in reducing bias and variance are possible by their inclusion in ANCOVA adjustment, but the generality of such adjustments will depend on a better understanding of the mechanisms by which they exert their influence.

The scientific motivations for these experiments are briefly reviewed, and the suite of observational platforms used in the data collection are noted. Special attention is directed toward the collection of upper-air data from the Loran-C in the ocean environment during late winter to early spring. Data from this upper-air system are examined not only with the intention of identifying logistical difficulties in obtaining the data but also to highlight the quality of the data and their value in both basic meteorological research and operational weather forecasting. The primary results of the study are (1) reliable upper-air data can be obtained from ships and oil platforms using the Loran-tracked system; (2) these data have exceptional vertical resolution that reveal the evolution of the mixed layer of air adjoining the sea surface; and (3) these observations can influence and help improve operational severe storm predictions.

ANALYSIS AND SIMULATION SO MONTHLY WEATHER REVIEW LA English DT Article AB The ERICA IOP 5 storm was the third strongest cyclone observed during the three-month Experiment on Rapidly Intensifying Cyclones over the Atlantic (ERICA) and the least successfully predicted by the operational models. This paper documents the storm development with use of nearly all available observational data and presents the results of a simulation of the storm carried out by the Pennsylvania State University-NCAR Mesoscale Model MM4. The observations reveal that the storm formed in two stages: a first stage in which a weak, eastward-moving upper-level trough over the Gulf states excited the growth of two disturbances over the Gulf Stream, and a second stage in which a rapidly moving, moderately intense short-wave trough from the north-central states interacted with the more northerly of the two disturbances, producing rapid intensification. Maximum deepening rates were 11 mb (6 h)-1 and 33 mb (24 h)-1. At the mature stage a thermal gradient of 7-degrees-C (35 km)-1 was observed near the surface by a low-flying research aircraft that traversed the occluded frontal zone. A full-physics simulation, carried out on a movable 30-km grid embedded within a 90-km fixed grid, closely reproduced the storm development, as verified by surface ship and buoy observations, flight level and dropsonde data from research aircraft, and satellite infrared and microwave imagery. Sensitivity tests reported in a companion paper revealed that the development was highly sensitive to condensation heating and moderately sensitive to surface energy fluxes, grid size, and the location of the Gulf Stream. The companion paper also addresses the question of why in this case the MM4 outperformed the operational models of the National Meteorological Center. C1 NOAA,BOULDER,CO 80303.

SENSITIVITY TESTS AND FURTHER DIAGNOSIS BASED ON MODEL OUTPUT SO MONTHLY WEATHER REVIEW LA English DT Article ID EXPLOSIVELY DEEPENING CYCLONE; SURFACE-ENERGY FLUXES; NUMERICAL-SIMULATION; SYMMETRIC INSTABILITY; DIABATIC PROCESSES; ATLANTIC AB This paper continues the study of the ERICA IOP 5 storm begun in a companion paper. The latter documented the storm development, utilizing both conventional and special observations, and presented the results of a successful simulation of the storm by the Pennsylvania State University-NCAR Mesoscale Model MM4. At 24 h into the simulation, the MM4 predicted a central pressure of 984 mb, close to the observed value, whereas the Nested Grid Model (NGM) of the National Meteorological Center forecasted a depth of only 997 mb for the same hour. Here the results of experiments designed to test the sensitivity of the development to latent heating, surface energy fluxes, Gulf Stream position, and grid size are first presented. A high sensitivity to latent heating and a moderate sensitivity to the other parameters are found. A comparison with other cases in the literature reveals that the sensitivity to latent heating, and to the fluxes, was unusually large. In view of this finding, further diagnosis is made of the behavior of a number of moisture-sensitive parameters in the model, namely, the potential vorticity (PV), the stability of the storm environment to vertical and slantwise ascent, and the surface energy fluxes. The diagnosis revealed that (i) large diabatically produced PV, capable of substantially impacting the storm intensity, appeared in the lower portion of the warm-frontal cloud mass, (ii) the storm environment was neutral or even unstable to vertical ascent (near and ahead of the cold front) and to slantwise ascent (in and above the warm-frontal zone), and (iii) the movement of the storm near and parallel to the Gulf Stream allowed heated and moistened air to be continuously ingested into the storm. In seeking clues to the cause of the superior performance of the MM4, additional experiments are carried out in which a Kuo-type convection scheme, such as employed in the NGM, replaces the Grell scheme used in the previous MM4 simulations. It is concluded that approximately 60% of the difference between the MM4 and NGM predictions can be accounted for by the utilization of the Grell scheme and a finer grid (30 km vs 85 km) and that the effects of grid size and convective parameterization are highly coupled in this case. The remaining difference is attributed to other elements of the predictions that are not further investigated. An experiment conducted on a slowly deepening ERICA storm (IOP 7) demonstrates that, in this case at least, the MM4 shows no tendency to produce excessive deepening of ocean storms.

The storm did not develop as a consequence of typical baroclinic wave development but instead developed in association with a previously cutoff cyclone. It posed a perplexing forecast problem to Denver area forecasters. It is discovered that at least 12 h before the onset of cyclogenesis there existed QG signatures (computed from rawinsonde data) of the thermally direct-indirect circulations associated with a jet-level wind maximum. These circulations are known to be associated with tropopause folding and the descent of stratospheric potential vorticity into the midtroposphere. It is verified that indeed such a process took place by tracking maxima of potential vorticity on an isentropic surface (295 K) that extended into the midtroposphere. Using analyses of lapse rate and mixing ratio near a ''dry slot'' in satellite water vapor imagery, our interpretation of the QG signatures are confirmed. The diagnostic scheme can be of value to forecasters who daily must adapt their knowledge of conceptual cyclone models to ascertain the dynamic potential of threatening storms.

The study examines 1) the precursor flow evolution prior to cutoff cyclone formation; 2) the wind, mass, and potential vorticity evolution during the 2-day period encompassing cutoff formation; and 3) the relative contribution of upper- versus lower-tropospheric forcing on the quasigeostrophic height tendency field prior to and during cutoff formation. The primary large-scale features prior to cutoff cyclone formation are an amplifying ridge over the western United States and eastern North Pacific and a diffluent trough over the central United States. The primary smaller-scale feature prior to cutoff formation is a short-wave trough-jet streak system that propagates through the longer-wave-amplifying ridge, and then intensifies upon arriving in northwesterly flow downstream of the ridge axis. The intensification of this shorter-wavelength system is associated with increases in stratospheric potential vorticity at levels considered to be well within the middle and upper troposphere. Major midtropospheric cyclogenesis then ensues as the jet propagates toward the base of the diffluent trough while further intensifying. The circulation then ''closes off'' at 500 hPa within the base of the amplifying trough as stratospheric potential vorticity values descend to near 620 hPa, and become increasingly confined to the base of the trough. The subsequent intensification of the cutoff circulation is accompanied by sustained potential vorticity and temperature increases well above the level of the extruded tropopause. This intensification phase is also accompanied by an increasingly isolated distribution of stratospheric potential vorticity, and by the formation of an isolated warm pool, in the mid- and upper troposphere above the circulation center. These features are consistent with calculations showing that the primary mass loss required to support the formation and subsequent intensification of the cutoff circulation is confined to the upper troposphere. A quasigeostrophic height tendency diagnosis suggests that the advection of potential vorticity at and above the 500-hPa level drives the process of upper-level trough amplification and cutoff cyclogenesis in this case. The quasigeostrophic height tendency patterns are also entirely consistent with the observed mass and wind-field tendencies, and with previous observational and theoretical analyses regarding the invertibility principle of potential vorticity.

The model vorticity field at the beginning of an assimilation period is adjusted to minimize a cost function that is defined as the squared difference between the model vorticity and the vorticity from a sequence of analyses separated by 12 h. After the cost function is minimized, the model vortex closely follows the observed storm track during the assimilation period, indicating that information about the past track of the storm is being included in the model solution. Track forecasts using the assimilation procedure are compared with control forecasts where the model is initialized with a single analysis at the end of the assimilation period. Results from a series of 18 forecasts for Hurricane Hugo (1989) show that with a 12-h assimilation period the average track forecast errors are smaller than those of the control forecasts out to about 48 h. The forecast errors using a 24-h assimilation period are larger than the errors with a 12-h assimilation period. The method described by Derber in which a forcing term that minimizes the cost function is added to the vorticity equation is applied to extend the length of the assimilation period. The forcing function has very localized extrema in the vicinity of the vortex because the scale of the vortex is comparable with the distance that the vortex moves during the assimilation period. This localized forcing interferes with the subsequent motion of the storm during the forecast period. The magnitude of the localized forcing is reduced if the vorticity at the beginning of the assimilation period is first adjusted, and then the forcing term is added to further reduce the cost function. When the combined procedure is used, the average track errors are smaller than the errors in the control simulations out to 72 h. Forecasts from four additional storms from the 1989 Atlantic hurricane season are also presented. In two of these cases, the assimilation degrades the control forecasts. The degradation appears to be related to errors in the operational estimates of the storm positions and to poor first-guess fields used in the analyses.

MODEL DESCRIPTION SO MONTHLY WEATHER REVIEW LA English DT Article ID NUMERICAL INVESTIGATIONS; VERTICAL COORDINATE; SIGMA MODEL AB A short-range numerical prediction model, which is part of a real-time 3-h data assimilation and forecast system, is described. The distinguishing feature of the model is the use of terrain-following (sigma) coordinate surfaces in the lower troposphere combined with isentropic (theta) surfaces aloft. Such a hybrid coordinate system allows modeling of processes in a convectively unstable boundary layer while retaining the advantages of theta coordinates in representing upper-tropospheric frontal and jet-stream structures. The hybrid approach used in this model represents a major departure from previous hybrid formulations in atmospheric models, even though it has been used for more than ten years in oceanic modeling. Part I of this two-part paper contains a thorough description of the model and the results of validation experiments. Results of North American case studies will be reported in Part II.

Sensitivity tests examines the effects of the model resolution, the magnitudes and formulation of the vertical and horizontal diffusion, and the Prandtl number on various aspects of the CSI circulations. Aspects of the circulations that are considered include the transverse velocity, the growth rate, and the updraft slope, as well as the existence of a CSI circulation. With the fairly unstable initial conditions used in these tests, unstable CSI modes are explicitly resolved with horizontal grid spacing of at most 30 km, using a fairly weak horizontal diffusion. The vertical grid spacing needs to be no greater than 340 m to be consistent with the horizontal grid spacing and the sloping thermal structures. To resolve the most unstable nonlinear CSI modes, horizontal resolutions of no more than 15 km and vertical resolutions less than 170 m are necessary. The magnitude of the horizontal diffusion, the magnitude and the formulation of the vertical diffusion, and the Prandtl number all affect the simulated CSI circulations. Comparisons to linear theory allow the generalization of the results. These generalizations suggest that the combined effects of model resolution, model diffusion, scale height of the instability, and environmental conditions (e.g., N2) determine whether CSI will be explicitly released in a numerical model, and also whether the resolved unstable modes include the desirable most unstable mode. Unstable CSI modes that do not correspond to the most unstable mode can be explicitly resolved with a grid spacing that is coarser than that necessary for the most unstable mode. If the resolved modes do not include the most unstable mode, the evolution of the CSI circulations will be substantially slower and the amplitudes reduced from what should be expected in the real atmosphere in which the most unstable mode should be present.

This method uses a copper activation measurement in a configuration that we have calibrated with fission ionization chambers from NIST. The absolute uncertainty in this calibration is less than +/- 7%. The copper activation method is insensitive to backgrounds from low energy scattered neutrons because it uses the (Cu(n,2n)Cu)-Cu-63-Cu-63 reaction which has a 12 MeV threshold. With this calibration method, measurements of absolute neutron output are possible under a variety of experimental conditions, including those simulating nuclear well logging. In addition, the configuration of the copper samples that we propose gives high counting rates so that the statistical precision of the measurement of neutron output, depending upon the generator voltage and beam current, is on the order of 1%.

The method constrains photography to optimize visualization of photic submerged land. It accentuates surface level training and verification of seagrass habitat observed in photographs to minimize classification errors due to variability of photographic signatures of benthic features. The method is unique in its registration of habitat data to concurrent shoreline manuscript base maps from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Ocean Service. Seagrass habitat is abundant in the study area - approximately 7,000 hectares or 35 percent of the subtidal land -with a high degree of overlap in 1985 and 1988. The overall net change was a 6 percent decrease in seagrass habitat. Locations of habitat loss from 1985 to 1988 were confirmed by site visit, and two of these could be attributed to specific anthropogenic activities.

As the bias voltage is lowered below the superconducting gap of this Coulomb blockade electrometer, the current changes from being e-periodic with gate charge to 2e-periodic. We interpret the 2e-periodic current at low voltages as a manifestation of a sequence of Andreev reflections which shuttles two electrons at a time through the island. This process can only exist if the island favors a state with a definite parity of the number of conduction electrons. C1 CEA SACLAY,SERV PHYS ETAT CONDENSE,F-91191 GIF SUR YVETTE,FRANCE.

An unresolved question has been the polarization direction of the SDW's. Neutron-diffraction satellites from an s-band conduction-electron SDW occur only at +/- Q. The fractional modulation of each SDW is approximately 0.01, a value derived from the observed 10(5)-fold enhancement in the electronic specific heat at 0.5 K. Neutron-diffraction satellites at {210} will then have intensities approximately 3 X 10(-5) times that of a (nuclear) Bragg reflection provided the (linear) SDW's have transverse polarization. SDW satellite intensities will be zero if the SDW's are longitudinally polarized. Measurements using a highly filtered neutron beam at NIST's BT-9 spectrometer on a pure lead crystal at 4.2 K revealed no (210) satellite at the 5 X 10(-8) level. Consequently, one may conclude that the SDW's in lead are longitudinally polarized. C1 NIST, GAITHERSBURG, MD 20899 USA. RP PURDUE UNIV, DEPT PHYS, W LAFAYETTE, IN 47907 USA.

These are systems similar to RBa2Cu3O6+, [R 1:2:3:(6+x)] for which the chain Cu-O layers have been fully replaced by layers of Nb-O octahedra. Powder profile refinements below 20 K show that both Nd 2:2:1:8 and Pr 2:2:1:8 are in space group I4/mcm, because the near-neighbor Nb-O octahedra are rotated about the c axis in opposite senses. The Cu moments are ordered below 375(10) K for Nd 2:2:1:8 and 340(15) K for Pr 2:2:1:8, with saturation moments in both cases of 0.5(1)mu(B). The near-neighbor Cu spins are aligned antiparallel, just as for the Cu ''plane'' ordering in R 1:2:3:(6+x). The rare-earth moments order at 1.69(5) and 12.6(1) K for Nd 2:2:1:8 and Pr 2:2:1:8, respectively, with saturated values of [mu(z)] =0.74(5)mu(B) and 1.2(1)mu(B). The near-neighbor R spins, both in the ab plane and along the c axis, are also aligned antiparallel. As in the case of Pr 1:2:3:(6+x), the Pr sublattice of Pr 2:2:1:8 has an ordering temperature that is much higher than other rare-earth moments in these layered perovskites, suggesting that the Pr in Pr 2:2:1:8 experiences the same f-electron hybridization as has been observed in Pr 1:2:3:(6+x). The rare-earth ordering of both Nd 2:2:1:8 and Pr 2:2:1:8 is not completely three-dimensional in nature: rather, the ordering within the a-b plane is two-dimensional with only short-range order along the c axis. The presence of oxygen defects appears to affect the c-axis correlation length. C1 UNIV MARYLAND,CTR SUPERCOND RES,DEPT PHYS,COLL PK,MD 20742. LAWRENCE LIVERMORE NATL LAB,LIVERMORE,CA 94550.

This protein and the corresponding version containing the calcium A site are described and compared. The deletion of residues 75-83 was made in the context of four site-specific replacements previously shown to stabilize subtilisin. The helix that in wild type is interrupted by the calcium binding loop, is continuous in the deletion mutant, with normal geometry. A few residues adjacent to the loop, principally those that were involved in calcium coordination, are repositioned and/or destabilized by the deletion. Because refolding is greatly facilitated by the absence of the Ca-loop, this protein offers a new vehicle for analysis and dissection of the folding reaction. This is among the largest internal changes to a protein to be described at atomic resolution. C1 NATL INST STAND & TECHNOL,ROCKVILLE,MD 20850.

The design, which is based on a self-scanning linear silicon array containing 1024 elements, enables the pyrometer to measure spectral radiance temperatures (nominally at 650 nm) at 1024 equally spaced points along a 25-mm target length. The elements of the array are sampled consecutively every 1 mus thereby permitting one cycle of measurements to be completed in approximately 1 ms. The pyrometer output is recorded digitally with a full-scale resolution of 0.025% every 1 mus. Procedures for calibration and temperature measurement as well as the characteristics and performance of the pyrometer are described.

Seventy-two characterization/measurement techniques were considered and thirty-five responses were received. This information was sought for a study on materials characterization and measurement techniques of parameters and properties necessary to improve the manufacturing capabilities of HgCdTe infrared detectors. The nature of materials characterization is defined, and an overview is given of how it is related to improving IR detector manufacturing. Finally, we present a description of the characterization survey and a summary of the survey results. Major aspects of the results include: (1) ranking the 72 techniques by their importance and frequency of use, (2) listing the parameters or properties determined by each technique, (3) enumerating the most important properties that need to be measured, (4) indicating the key measurement techniques that most need to be developed, enhanced or improved, and (5) giving key overall comments.

The basic design considerations and measurements possible with each class of test structure are discussed. The important experience of the Si and GaAs industries, applicable to IR detectors, is that significant yield improvement is possible with improved process control using test structures.

We have emphasized the prediction of the magnitude and distribution of residual stress and strain, as well as longitudinal and radial segregation within the boules and across wafers cut from the boules. Boule and wafer compositional distributions were mapped using photoreflectance, precision lattice parameter measurements and FTIR spectroscopy. Defect and strain distributions within the boules and wafers were imaged using synchrotron topography, synchrotron strain contour mapping, and double-crystal rocking-curve mapping Thermomechanical and thermosolutal models specifically addressing the seeded vertical Bridgman-Stockbarger growth of CdZnTe crystals were developed and empiricized. These models addressed solute redistribution and stress generation as a result of the interface shape, aspect ratio and growth parameters during the seeding, initial transient (including the shoulder), steady-state and terminal transient regions of the boule Finally, the stress and strain distributions on specific wafers 'cut' from the processed (modelled) boules were predicted and x-ray synchrotron strain contour, double-crystal rocking-curve, FTIR, and photoreflectance maps were generated on the real wafers for comparison.

We are developing several measurement techniques for characterizing Hg1-xCdxTe and other IR detector materials using this source. For example, the broadband IR pulses can be used to study transient photoconductive decay at various photon energies near the bandgap. A particularly novel technique we have developed is far-infrared photoinduced nanosecond spectroscopy (FIR-PINS). In this all-optical (contactless) measurement, a short laser pulse generates photocarriers which are subsequently sensed by a far-infrared pulse from the synchrotron. Spectroscopic analysis of the far-infrared yields the free carrier plasma frequency, providing information on the photocarrier density. By varying the delay time of the far-infrared pulse (relative to the laser pulse), the photocarrier relaxation is determined with nanosecond resolution. In addition to being contactless, the technique offers other potential advantages over electrical measurements. Results for MBE-grown Hg1-xCdxTe are presented.

The combination of fine-scale sampling and rapid sedimentation produces radionuclide distributions that can be used to estimate the detailed chronology of particle transport processes in the Oahe reservoir system. A self-consistent and quantitative treatment of the Cs-137 data suggests processes to which characteristic times may be associated. Times that characterize system-wide processes include (1) an integration time of several years reflecting retention of the sediment-bound tracer in regions within or external to the reservoir, (2) a relaxation time of approximately 15 years reflecting a decreasing rate of sediment accumulation ascribed to shoreline stabilization, (3) a time of a few months characterizing the breadth of riverine signatures in cores due to integration effects in the Cheyenne River system and deltaic deposits, and (4) times of a few years associated with propagation of riverine load signatures along the embayment. The distribution of total sedimentary arsenic confirms the validity of the variable sedimentation model. In 1977, a tailings retention facility was built at the Homestake Mine site, and the unrestricted input of As ceased. As a result of this remedial action, the concentration of sedimentary As decreased dramatically. In the upper section of the core, above the depth represented by the year 1976, the concentration of As decreases tenfold. In this same core the distribution of lithologically discriminating chemical elements, calcium and vanadium, relate to major flow events in the Cheyenne River basin. Because there is minimal diagenesis of chemical constituents in these rapidly accumulating sediments, stable element signatures, in addition to radiotracers, may be used to reconstruct hydrologic events in drainage basins that contribute sediment to lakes and reservoirs.

In the present study, unlubricated wear tests were conducted on a hot isostatically-pressed silicon nitride under various test conditions in self-mated sliding tests in air. Following the tests, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to elucidate the wear mechanisms and particularly to delineate the effects of load and temperature on wear. The results of the tests and observations were used to construct a wear transition diagram, with load and temperature as the two axes. This diagram is divided into five regions plus one transition zone. The controlling mechanism and tribological data, i.e. friction coefficient and wear coefficient, in each region are unique. At low loads and relatively low temperatures, the tribological behavior is controlled by tribochemical reactions between silicon nitride surface and water vapor in the environment. In the temperature range 400-700-degrees-C at low loads, selective oxidation of WC inclusions controls the wear behavior. Formation of crystalline precipitates from the amorphous magnesium silicate grain boundary phase controls the wear process from 700 to 900-degrees-C at low loads. At higher temperatures, oxidation of silicon nitride dominates the wear process. A transition to severe wear by micro-fracture is observed as the contact load is increased above a particular value. Detailed understanding of the fundamental mechanisms can provide guidelines for microstructural modifications to avoid severe wear under operating conditions.
