AB Two independent methods are presented for the nonperturbative calculation of the electronic coupling matrix element (H-ab) for electron transfer reactions using ab initio electronic structure theory. The first is based on the generalized Mulliken-Hush (GMH) model, a multistate generalization of the Mulliken Hush formalism for the electronic coupling. The second is based on the block diagonalization (ED) approach-of Cederbaum, Domcke, and co-workers. Detailed quantitative comparisons of the two methods are carried out based on results for (a) several states of the system Zn2OH2+ and (b) the low-lying states of the benzene-Cl atom complex and its contact ion pair. Generally good agreement between the two methods is obtained over a range of geometries. Either method can be applied at an arbitrary nuclear geometry and, as a result, may be used to test the validity of the Condon approximation. Examples of nonmonotonic behavior of the electronic coupling as a function of nuclear coordinates are observed for Zn2OH2+. Both methods also yield a natural definition of the effective distance (r(DA)) between donor (D) and acceptor (A) sites, in contrast to earlier approaches which required independent estimates of r(DA), generally based on molecular structure data.

TI Fluctuations and growth of a cubic network observed in a nonionic
surfactant system
SO JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL PHYSICS
LA English
DT Article
ID PHASE-TRANSFORMATIONS; WATER
AB We have investigated stability of a cubic lattice having a periodic-minimal surface in a nonionic surfactant system using a time resolved small-angle neutron scattering technique. The cubic lattice transformed from a lamellar phase showed polycrystalline scattering patterns and a strong fluctuation of the diffraction intensity as a function of time. The intensity distribution analysis indicates that the domain coarsening proceeds until 2000 min and then the coarsening is suppressed. At a critical temperature, such fluctuating peaks suddenly grow to a monocrystalline pattern showing no intensity fluctuations. On the contrary, in the case of the cubic lattice transformed from a hexagonal phase, the polycrystalline diffraction peaks also showed fluctuating behavior, but in this case, the domain coarsening is suppressed and the scattering intensity fluctuates around an equilibrium value. We consider that the fluctuations arise from the polycrystalline cubic network trapped in a metastable state. (C) 1997 American Institute of Physics.

ID PARTIAL OXIDATION; OXYGEN; CONVERSION
AB Certain perovskite-type oxides (ABO(3)) containing transition metals on the B-site shaw mixed (electronic/ionic) conductivity. These mixed-conductivity oxides are promising materials for oxygen-permeating membranes that can operate without electrodes or external electrical circuitry. Oxides in the system Sr-Fe-Co-O permeate large amounts of oxygen, and extruded tubes of these materials have been evaluated in a reactor operating at approximate to 850 degrees C for direct conversion of methane into syngas (CO + H-2) in the presence of a reforming catalyst. Methane conversion efficiencies of > 99% were observed, and some of the reactor tubes have been operated for more than 1000h. Membrane tubes were fabricated from calcined powders by a plastic extrusion technique. Ceramic powders in the Sr-Fe-Co-O system were made by solid-state reaction of the constituent carbonates, oxides, and/or nitrates. The chemical-phase behavior of the ceramic powders with varying stoichiometries were studied by high-temperature in-situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) as a function of oxygen partial pressure. The sintered extruded tubes were also characterized by XRD and scanning electron microscopy.

AB The room temperature dynamics of single fluorescent dye molecules adsorbed on dry surfaces was investigated with submillisecond time resolution. Rapid turn-on and off events that satisfy stochastic statistics of quantum jumps were observed. These jumps were most likely intersystem crossing transitions to the triplet state, individually resolved due to the extended triplet state lifetime tau(off) in the dry condition. Saturation study of such single molecules confirmed the extended tau(off). Distributions in intersystem crossing yield Y-ISC and in tau(off), probably due to different local environment, were measured. Moreover, individual molecules exhibited abrupt changes in tau(off) and Y-ISC, correlated with spectral changes of the molecular emission.

AB Measurements of ac Stark shifts and broadening have been made on several multiphoton resonant rotational-vibronic levels in nitric oxide (NO). The levels and laser wavelengths are carefully chosen so that the number of ions produced can be kept low and the complication due to space charge can be avoided. It is found that the ac Stark effects are independent of the pressure.

TI The photodissociation dynamics of hexafluoropropene examined at 193 nm
SO CHEMICAL PHYSICS LETTERS

DT Article
ID OXYGEN-ATOMS; TETRAFLUOROETHYLENE
AB The photodissociation of hexafluoropropene at 193 nm was studied using photofragment translational spectroscopy. One primary channel results in loss of a fluorine atom; from the maximum translational energy release, a value of 121 kcal/mol was determined to be the upper limit for the C-F bond dissociation energy. In addition, elimination of CF2 and CF3 competes with C-F bond cleavage. A branching fraction, CF2:F:CF3, of 0.42:0.41:0.17 was found among these three primary channels. A comparison of UV photolysis and infrared multiphoton dissociation experiments suggests that excitation and dissociation on an excited state surface competes with internal conversion and dissociation from the ground state.

AB The reporter bacterium, Pseudomonas fluorescens HK44 (HK44), was characterized in an immobilized state to investigate utility for deployment as a remote sensor in the subsurface. A packed-bed reactor with alginate-immobilized HK44 simulated hydrodynamic conditions such as might be found in a subsurface environment. The reporter bacterium, HK44, harbors a reporter plasmid, pUTK21, which contains a transcriptional fusion between the nahG gene in the lower pathway of the catabolic plasmic NAH7 and a luxCDABE gene cassette. The upper nah pathway and the lux pathway in pUTK21 are induced by salicylate. The lux enzymes catalyze the light reaction. HK44 demonstrated a quantitative relationship between salicylate concentration and degradation. Light intensity mimicked salicylate concentration, whereas degradation was first order in biomass and first order in salicylate concentration, with a degradation constant of 2.23 x 10(-2) dm(3) g(-1) min(-1).

AB The laser photolysis/infrared long path absorption technique has been used to study the reaction of Cl atoms with C2H4. The time-resolved population of HCl produced in the reaction is monitored by continuous infrared absorption after pulsed photolytic generation of Cl atoms. At room temperature, the reaction proceeds principally through addition to form a chloroethyl radical, and the HCl production at 10 Torr is almost exclusively via secondary reactions. Above 500 K the abstraction channel dominates the HCl production, allowing direct extraction of Arrhenius parameters for the hydrogen abstraction, The abstraction rates are extracted by correcting the total rate by the HCl yield, which is determined by comparison with the Cl + C3H8 reaction. The abstraction reaction is well-described between 500 and 800 K by the simple Arrhenius expression k(T) (6.2 +/- 1.4) x 10(-11)e(-(3400+/-450/T) cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1) (2 sigma). The activation energy determined in the present work would yield a heat of formation of the vinyl radical of Delta H degrees(f,298)(C2H3) = 71.3 +/- 1.3 kcal mol(-1) when combined with an extrapolation of published 298-495 K measurements of the HCl + C2H3 activation energy. A third-law analysis al 500 K yields Delta H degrees(f,298)(C2H3) = 71.6 +/- 0.3 kcal mol(-1).

AB Though ammonium bisulfate is one of the most common of atmospheric hygroscopic aerosols, knowledge of its interaction with water has, until now, been extremely limited. This paper presents our observations on single isolated ammonium bisulfate aerosol particles, as they interact with water vapor at temperatures ranging from -40 to 30 degrees C. The complete phase diagram in the temperature/composition as well as the pressure/temperature domains has been derived here for the first time, mapping out equilibrium and metastable to stable phase transitions. A new low-temperature crystalline hydrate phase that might have an important role in processes occurring in the upper troposphere has been discovered.

The BDEs are determined experimentally by analysis of the thresholds for collision-induced dissociation of the cation-ether complexes by xenon measured using guided ion beam mass spectrometry. in all cases, the primary and lowest energy dissociation channel observed experimentally is endothermic loss of one Ligand molecule. The cross section thresholds are interpreted to yield O and 298 K Bh)Es after accounting for the effects of multiple ion-molecule collisions, internal energy of the complexes, and unimolecular decay rates. Trends in the BDEs determined by experiment and recent theoretical nb initio calculations are in good agreement, with experimental values being systematically lower than the theoretical values by 5 +/- 3 kJ/mol per metal-oxygen interaction. Comparisons to trends in the BDEs for analogous Li+ and Na+ complexes reveal that Li+ is bound less strongly than expected when compared with analogous Na+ and K+ complexes.

AB A new sensitizing dye-semiconductor system comprised of perylene derivatives on SnO2 has been characterized. The tetracarboxylic acid form (''PTCA'') of the commercially available dye perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic dianhydride and the novel compound perylene-3,4-dicarboxylic acid-9,10-(5-phenanthroline)carboximide (''PPDCA'') adsorb strongly to the surface of colloidal films of SnO2 and inject electrons into the semiconductor film upon absorption of light. A Nm of PPDCA on SnO2 yields a short circuit photocurrent density of 3.26 mA/cm(2), a photovoltage of -0.45 V, and an overall cell efficiency of 0.89% at one sun Light intensity. Estimates of the oxidation potential of adsorbed PPDCA indicate that it may also be useful in a water-splitting configuration. The results presented here indicate that the perylene-SnO2 system is a promising dye-semiconductor combination and warrants further study.

AB Single layers of 40 mu m NaY crystals were prepared on a CaF2 support. These are sufficiently transparent to allow recording of reactants occluded in the zeolite pores by W-visible transmission spectroscopy for the first time. Spectra of 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene (DMB) and oxygen gas loaded into the zeolite revealed the true absorption profile of the DMB . O-2 charge-transfer contact complex. Visible-light-induced reaction was monitored by in situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Irradiation resulted in the same selective oxidation to 2,3-dimethyl-3-hydroperoxy-1-butene observed previously in highly scattering pellets of 1 mu m NaY particles.

AB The thermal stability of ultrathin chromium films on Pt(111) has been studied using low-energy He+ ion scattering spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, low-energy electron diffraction, and scanning tunneling microscopy. At room temperature, Cr grows on Pt(111) with a modified Stranski-Krastanov growth mode (almost complete wetting of the first two layers with subsequent three-dimensional island growth). Upon annealing, chromium diffuses into the Pt lattice. This causes a smoothening of the surface features. A flat Pt(111) surface, devoid of Cr, is regained after prolonged annealing above 770 K. Ar lower temperatures, metastable Cr-Pt surface alloys are formed. The apparent composition and stability of these surface alloys are dependent upon the amount of Cr deposited initially. Both the Cr adlayer and Pt surface atoms were found to be perturbed at the interface. Experimental and theoretical results indicate that a redistribution of charge between Pt and Cr occurs upon alloy formation with the greatest perturbation experienced by the Pt atoms.

AB We discuss issues concerning M(atrix) theory compactifications on curved spaces. We argue from the form of the graviton propagator on curved space that excited string states do not decouple from the annulus DO-brane v(4) amplitude, unlike the flat space case. This argument shows that a large class of quantum mechanical systems with a finite number of degrees of freedom cannot reproduce supergravity answers. We discuss the specific example of an ALE space and suggest sources of possible higher derivative terms that might help reproduce supergravity results. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.

AB The SL(2,R) invaraint ten dimensional type IIB superstring effective action is compactified on a torus to D spacetime dimensions. The transformation properties of scalar, vector and tensor fields, appearing after the dimensional reduction, are obtained in order to maintain the SL(2, R) invariance of the reduced effective action. The symmetry of the action enables one to generate new string vacua from known configurations. As illustrative examples, new black hole solutions are obtained in five and four dimensions from a given set of solutions of the equations of motion. (C) 1997 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.

AB We demonstrate that polarization measurements in exclusive semileptonic B decays are powerful tools for unraveling non-standard model sources of T-violation. Measurements of the transverse polarization of the tau lepton in the B --> D tau<(nu)over bar> and B --> D*tau<(nu)over bar> decays probe separately effective scalar and pseudoscalar CP-violating four-Fermi interactions, whereas the D* polarization in the B --> D*l<(nu)over bar> (l = e, mu) decay is sensitive to an effective right-handed quark current interaction. Two T-odd polarization structures exist involving the D* polarization and they can be isolated and studied separately. An estimate of these T-odd effects is also given in the context of supersymmetric theories. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.

AB The distribution of m(pi(+)pi(-)) in the decay eta' --> pi(+)pi(-)gamma has been measured with the Crystal Barrel detector. The results are based on a total of 7392 observed eta' decays. The box anomaly constant is extracted from this and its value is found to agree well with theoretical expectations. The pseudoscalar nonet parameters (f(1), f(8) and theta(PS)) are determined. Finally, we find that there is a problem of consistency between QCD and the standard VDM assumption. (C) 1997 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.

AB We have successfully substituted Pu-240(3+) for Ca2+ in the calcium-binding protein calmodulin and used neutron resonance scattering from the bound Pu-240 to demonstrate that the Pu binds specifically to the Ca2+ sites and also to measure the distance between the ion binding sites within individual domains of the protein. Pu-240 has a strong nuclear resonance at 0.278 Angstrom, and at this wavelength the coherent scattering from Pu-240 is > 1000 times that of any other nucleus present in a protein. The ionic radius of Pu3+ is very similar to that of Ca2+, and hence eve chose this species to substitute for Ca2+ in the protein. We identified solution conditions that stabilize Pu3+ in solution at near neutral pH for 6-7 h in order to form the Pu/calmodulin complex under conditions favorable for both complex formation and maintaining the structural integrity of the protein. We collected small-angle neutron scattering data from solutions of 4(Pu-240(3+)). calmodulin, which contain periodic terms that are directly related to the distances between the Ca2+-binding sites. The shorter Pu-Pu distance, i.e., the average distance between the two sites within each globular domain of calmodulin, is found to be 11.8 +/- 0.4 Angstrom, in excellent agreement with the value of 11.7 Angstrom from crystallographic determinations. This is the first use of neutron resonance scattering as a structural probe in a protein.

ID CRYSTALLIZATION; CANCRINITES
AB Hydrothermal conversion of zeolite LTA by LiCl(aq) is an efficient synthesis route for zeolite Li-A(BW), LiAlSiO4 . H2O, resulting in highly crystalline materials. In the present work hydrothermal crystallization of zeolite Li-A(BW) was followed in situ by time resolved synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction. These experiments were combined with ex situ scanning electron microscopy on partially converted samples. Fitting of the crystallization curves with rate expressions indicated limited nucleation and showed that intermediate amorphous or solute phases were not present in any significant amount. Partially converted samples were prepared in situ, making it possible to monitor the progress of crystallization and to determine the degree of conversion in each sample. Scanning electron microscope images of 40 and 60% converted samples showed that the parent zeolite LTA crystallites to a large degree serve as nucleation centers for the crystallization of zeolite Li-A(BW). The zeolite Li-A(BW) crystals grow radially from the nucleation site, forming clusters of flat needle-like crystals. The information obtained from the combined experiments clearly shows that the hydrothermal conversion of zeolite LTA into zeolite Li-A(BW) is a solution-mediated process.

ID ROOM-TEMPERATURE
AB We report on the band-edge stimulated emission in InGaN-GaN multiple quantum well light-emitting diodes with varying widths and barrier thicknesses of the quantum wells. In these devices, we observe that the stimulated emission peak wavelength shifts to shorter values with decreasing well thickness. From the comparison of the results of the quantum mechanical calculations of the subbands energies with the measured data, we estimate the effective conduction- and valence-band discontinuities at the GaN-In0.13Ga0.87N heterointerface to be approximately 130-155 and 245-220 meV, respectively. We also discuss the effect of stress on the estimated values of band discontinuities. (C) 1997 American Institute of Physics.

AB Interfacial degradation induced by hot-electron injection has been studied in n-channel metal oxide semiconductor transistors with channel lengths down to 0.2 mu m. The devices were annealed in either H-2 of D-2 containing atmospheres. The channel transconductance and threshold voltage variations. induced by hot-electron injection into the gate are consistent with interface state generation. Charge pumping experiments confirm this conclusion. The lifetime for a 10% reduction in the transconductance is enhanced by similar to 10 times for devices annealed in D-2 containing atmospheres as compared to those annealed in H-2.

AB The mitochondrial HMG-box transcription factor xl-mtTFA activates bidirectional transcription by binding to a site separating two core promoters in Xenopus laevis mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). Three independent approaches were used to study the higher order structure of xl-mtTFA binding to this site. First, coimmunoprecipitation of differentially tagged recombinant mtTFA derivatives established that the protein exists as a multimer. Second, in vitro chemical crosslinking experiments provided evidence of cross-linked dimers, trimers and tetramers of xl-mtTFA. Finally, high resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) established that xl-mtTFA binds to the specific promoter-proximal site predominantly as a tetramer. Computer analysis of several previously characterized binding sites for xl-mtTFA revealed a fine structure consisting of two half-sites in a symmetrical orientation. The predominant sequence of this dyad symmetry motif shows homology to binding sites of sequence-specific EMG-box-containing proteins such as Sry and Lef-1. We suggest that bidirectional activation of transcription results from the fact that binding of a tetramer of xl-mtTFA permits symmetrical interactions with other components of the transcription machinery at the adjacent core promoters.

AB Four new phosphazene polymers were synthesized using an esterification methodology. It was found that poly[bis(4-carboxylatophenoxy)phosphazene] reacts with neat alcohols and catalytic acid at reflux to form polymers with varying chemical and physical properties. Esters were prepared from the following alcohols; 2-methoxyethanol, 2,2'-methoxyethoxyethanol, 2-ethoxyethanol, and 1-butanol. The resulting new polymers were characterized using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and were found to have the expected ester pendant groups homogeneously substituted onto the phosphorus-nitrogen backbone. Laser light scattering (LLS) was used to determine that during the modification process molecular weight of the polymer is conserved, suggesting that under the conditions of the esterification process no chain scission occurs.

AB To understand the unusual composition and wave vector, q, dependent Flory interaction parameters, chi, obtained from small angle neutron scattering (SANS), we have calculated the three partial structure factors for symmetric binary polymer blends with relatively strong interactions between dissimilar monomers using molecular dynamics simulations. In agreement with past work we find that the radii of gyration of the chains are altered on blending. The following new results emerged from our simulations. The single-chain form factors in the blends follow Gaussian statistics at all distances larger than a monomer diameter, confirming the Flory-de Gennes conjecture that correlations in condensed polymer phases are screened over short length scales. The R-g's deduced from these form factors are in agreement with simulation-determined values and illustrate conclusively that the single chain term in the incompressible random-phase approximation (i-RPA) is altered on blending. The three partial structure factors obtained from the simulations, each of which follows an Ornstein-Zernike behavior, have different q dependences and extrapolate to different values in the thermodynamic limit. The different q dependences can be explained qualitatively by a compressible RPA formalism proposed by Tang and Freed. We then show that any form chosen to combine these partial structure factors into a single total scattering function will, in general, not have a q dependence that is describable by the incompressible RPA. This explains the experimentally observed q dependence of the chi parameter derived from the i-RPA. Finally, a thermodynamic analysis on the zero wave-vector limit of the partial structure factors shows that their absolute values are different from each other due to the effects of density fluctuations, as well as the different partial molar volumes of the two species in the blend. These results serve to emphasize the important role played by compressibility on the scattering obtained from simple polymer mixtures with large excess volumes on mixing.

AB We investigate the radiative decay of pseudoscalar (pi, K, eta, eta'), vector (rho, K*, omega, phi) and axial-vector (A(1)) mesons using a simple relativistic constituent quark model. For both simplicity and relativity, we take advantage of the distinguished features in the light-cone quantization method: (1) the Fock state expansion of meson wave functions are not contaminated by the vacuum fluctuation, (2) the problem of assigning quantum numbers J(PC) to mesons is circumvented by the Melosh transformation. Except the well-known constituent quark masses of (u, d, s) quarks and the spin-averaged meson masses, the only parameter in the model is the Gaussian parameter beta which determines the broadness (or sharpness) of the radial wave function, Our overall predictions of pseudoscalar, vector and axial-vector meson radiative decay processes are in remarkably good agreement with the experimental data.

AB Semiempirical potential calculations have been combined with a dynamical low-energy electron diffraction analysis to determine the complete structure of molecules physisorbed on an oxide surface, namely, acetylene (C2H2) adsorbed on MgO(100) at T = 88 K. This allows determination of the adsorption sites and the molecule-molecule and molecule-substrate distances. The results are consistent with molecules that lie almost parallel to the surface in a herringbone structure. Neither molecule nor substrate exhibits significant distortions, due to the weak physisorption.

AB We present scanning tunneling microscopy measurements of the (001) surface of a LuNi(2)B2C borocarbide single crystal at 4.2 K. In zero field, the conductance versus voltage characteristics recorded at various locations on the sample reproducibly provide a gap value of 2.2 meV. In a magnetic field of 1.5 and 0.375 T, the recordings of the conductance as a function of position reveal a regular square vortex lattice tilted by 45 degrees with respect to the crystalline a axis. This unusual result is correlated with an in-plane anisotropy of the upper critical field H(c2)parallel to(45 degrees)/H(p)arallel to(c2)(0) = 0.92 at 4.2 K and is analyzed within the framework of Ginzburg-Landau theory.

AB In low temperature studies of ultrapure erbium (and dysprosium) we have discovered unusual thermal effects at the first order magnetic transformation of erbium (congruent to 19 K). These include (1) superheating (i.e., the metal is colder after heat has been added to it than before the heat pulse), (2) supercooling, and (3) the existence of metastable intermediate phases during this phase transformation in erbium (four on heating and two on cooling). In comparison, dysprosium exhibits both superheating and supercooling, but no intermediate metastable phases are observed. Furthermore, none of these effects are observed in less pure metals.

AB An extensive conformational search of 15-crown-5 was performed with the MM3 force field yielding 3623 conformers ranging in steric energy from 21.40 to 56.24 kcal mol(-1). Free energies and conformer population are reported for the gas phase. A continuum dielectric model is used to estimate the conformer populations in a variety of solvents. The three conformers observed in crystal structures containing 15-crown-5 molecules that do not form inner sphere complexes with metal ions are predicted to be among the most populated conformations in condensed phases. Comparison of the structural features of the crystallographically observed conformers with those of the energy minimized MM3 structures demonstrates that the MM3 force field well reproduces that experimentally observed structural features. Predicted conformer populations are consistent with C-13 NMR and vibrational spectra. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.

AB The potential energy surface of C2H5S isomers has been studied with the G2 ab initio method. The structures and G2 heats of formation of the six stable isomers/conformers, CH3CH2S (1), syn-CH3CHSH (2), anti-CH3CHSH (3), CH3SCH2 (4), gauche-HSCH2CH2 (5), and anti-HSCH2CH2 (6), have been reported previously (Chem. Phys. Lett., 213 (1993) 250; J. Chem. Phys., 104 (1996) 130). Their structural properties upon change of conformation can be rationalized by the perturbative molecular orbital model. The C2H5S radicals are very flexible due to low-energy barriers for rotations and inversions.
Unimolecular rearrangements are exclusively 1,2- and 1,3-H shifts with large G2 activation energies at 0 K: E-a(1 --> 3) = 147.0 kJ mol(-1), E-a(1 --> 5) = 140.0 kJ mol(-1), E-a(2 --> 5) = 187.2 kJ mol(-1), E-a(3 --> 6) = 191.7 kJ mol(-1), and E-a(4 --> 4) = 176.9 kJ mol(-1).
The TS structures for the unimolecular decompositions: 5 --> C2H4 + SH (6), 1 --> CH3 + H2CS (7), acid 4 --> CH3 + H2CS (8) are loose and product-like. Their UHF determinant functions have considerable spin contamination ([S-2] approximate to 0.96-1.08). Energy barriers for the analogous reactions of 6 and 7 for the oxygen analogs were also computed and compared to the observed rate parameters. In general, it is found that the G2 method is still reliable to estimate the reaction barriers for systems with [S-2] less than or equal to 0.96. Correction with spin projection is required for systems with [S-2] > 1.0.
Among the reactions of C2H5S studied in this work, the pathway with the lowest energy is 6. The G2 E-a = 41.7 kJ mol(-1) for 6 at 700 K is in good agreement with Shum and Benson's (Int. J. Chem. Kinet., 17 (1985) 277, 749) estimated value (46 kJ mol(-1)). At the same temperature, the calculated E-a's for 7 and 8, after spin-projection corrections, are 158.9 kJ mol(-1) and 109.0 kJ mol(-1), respectively, in agreement with the estimated E-a's (145.5 kJ mol(-1) for 7 and 101.3 kJ mol(-1) for 8).
The addition reaction CH3 + H2CS --> 4 ((8) under bar) is predicted to be negative temperature dependent with an E-a of -3.0 kJ mol(-1) at 700 K. This is in line with the lower bound of the estimated E-a (ca. 11.7 kJ mol(-1) +/- 12.6 kJ mol(-1)) for (8) under bar at 644 K as reported by Shum and Benson. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.

AB Special challenges exist in writing reliable numerical library software for heterogeneous computing environments. Although a lot of software for distributed-memory parallel computers has been written, porting this software to a network of workstations requires careful consideration. The symptoms of heterogeneous computing failures can range from erroneous results without warning to deadlock. Some of the problems are straightforward to solve, but for others the solutions are not so obvious, or incur an unacceptable overhead. Making software robust on heterogeneous systems often requires additional communication. We describe and illustrate the problems encountered during the development of ScaLAPACK and the NAG Numerical PVM Library. Where possible, we suggest ways to avoid potential pitfalls, or if that is not possible, we recommend that the software not be used on heterogeneous networks.

AB This article describes a modular software package for solving systems of nonlinear equations and nonlinear least-squares problems, using a new class of methods called tensor methods. It is intended for small-to medium-sized problems, say with up to 100 equations and unknowns, in cases where it is reasonable to calculate the Jacobian matrix or to approximate it by finite differences at each iteration. The software allows the user to choose between a tensor method and a standard method based on a linear model. The tensor method approximates F(x) by a quadratic model, where the second-order term is chosen so that the model is hardly more expensive to form, store, or solve than the standard linear model. Moreover, the software provides two different global strategies: a line search approach and a two-dimensional trust region approach. Test results indicate that, in general, tensor methods are significantly more efficient and robust than standard methods on small-and medium-sized problems in iterations and function evaluations.

AB The hardness, ductility, and thermal processing of Cu/Zr and Cu/Cu-Zr multilayers were investigated by indenting, bending, and heating a series of Free-standing multilayer foils. The foils were deposited with alternate, nanoscale layers of Cu and Zr, and then thermally processed to produce three additional nanostructures: alternate layers of Cu and amorphous Cu-Zr(aCu-Zr); alternate layers of Cu and Cu51Zr14; and a non-layered structure with small Cu grains in large Cu9Zr2 grains. The hardness and ductility of the foils depended strongly on the degree of thermal processing and varied dramatically with the volume fraction of the Zr or Cu-Zr phases in each of the four nanostructures. The dependence of hardness on volume Fraction was stronger when the films were indented parallel to their layering than when the foils were indented perpendicular to their layering. This result demonstrates that plastic deformation is anisotropic in these multilayer samples.

TI On the asymmetric yield surface of plastically orthotropic materials: A
phenomenological study
SO ACTA MATERIALIA
LA English
DT Article
AB Hill's (1948) yield criterion for plastically orthotropic solids is extended to include materials whose tensile and compressive yield stresses, obtained from uniaxial loading tests, are different. First, we review and discuss the classic yield criteria in plasticity theory including plastically isotropic and anisotropic materials. Then, we present a yield criterion for plastic anisotropic solids whose initial yield surface may not be symmetric about the origin in stress space. The new criterion is based on the criterion given by Hill (Proc. Roy. Soc. London A, 1948, 193, 281) for anisotropic solids and the criterion proposed by Drucker and Prager (Q. Appl. Math., 1952, 10, 157) for soil whose tensile and compressive strengths are far apart. The coefficients that appear in the new criterion can be determined from uniaxial tension and compression, and simple shearing tests. The formulae for the determination of those coefficients are given. Specifically, the new criterion is applied to the yielding of thin sheets where a plane stress condition prevails. Finally, the prediction of the criterion is compared with the experimental data obtained by Lee and Backofen (Trans. Metall. Soc. AIME, 1966, 236, 1966) on titanium alloy sheets.

SO ACTA MATERIALIA
LA English
DT Article
ID BEHAVIOR
AB In this study, the uniform plastic strain behavior of a series of high-nitrogen (0.13 to 1.0 wt% N) austenitic stainless steels was modeled using the modified Ludwik equation proposed by Ludwigson:
sigma = K-1 epsilon(n1) + Delta, where Delta = e((K2+n2 epsilon).
The following comments can be made regarding the plastic flow behavior: (1) the strain hardening rate increases proportionally with nitrogen; (2) deviation of the flow curves From the Ludwik behavior (i.e. Delta) increases with nitrogen, (3) the strength coefficient (K-1) increases proportionally with nitrogen; (4) increasing nitrogen results in small decreases in the true-strain at ultimate load and therefore has a negative effect on the strain hardening exponent, n(1); (5) true yield stress [exp(K-2)] increases proportionally to nitrogen. correlating with the engineering yield stress. (6) n(2) becomes more negative, but changes only slightly with large increases in nitrogen; and (7) the transition strain epsilon(L) decreases only slightly with increasing nitrogen indicating that higher nitrogen levels; in the materials studied, extend the range whereby the Ludwik relation accurately describes the flow behavior. The effect of nitrogen on the transition strain observed is contradictory to the notion that stacking fault energy decreases with increasing nitrogen. However, the transition strain exhibited by these materials (higher than most f.c.c. materials) is consistent with very low stacking fault energy f.c.c. materials.

AB The virtual cyclone, a geometrically uncomplicated device that separates particles from a flow stream by nonimpact particle separation, is discussed. In contradistinction to a cyclone, the particle-laden flow is deflected from its original direction by a wall that curves away from the original flow direction, rather than into it. The computational fluid dynamics code FIDAP (Fluid Dynamics International) is used to perform two-dimensional fluid-flow and particle-motion calculations for a representative device geometry. Flow patterns are found to be insensitive to Reynolds number for values above 100 regardless of whether the how is laminar or turbulent. Particle-motion calculations for laminar-flow cases indicate that the virtual cyclone geometry examined accomplishes nonimpact particle separation. An approximate analytical relation describing virtual cyclone nonimpact particle separation is developed and found to be in agreement with the numerical simulations.

A computational fluid-dynamics model developed reveals the detailed flow field, chemical-component distribution, temperature distribution, and salt-particle trajectories in the reactor flow domain. The near-wall fluid temperature from the numerical analysis was compared with experimental temperature data. The temperature comparison was within a 3% error band. The effect of the chemical kinetic rate was investigated for four different rates. Turbulent salt-particle trajectories were also calculated to investigate the effect of particle sizes on salt deposit on the wall Also, a method of calculating the adiabatic reaction temperature was developed to estimate reaction temperatures prior to a full numerical simulation.

AB Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) is characterized by biliary and renal lesions that produce significant morbidity and mortality. The biliary ductal ectasia and hepatic portal fibrosis associated with ARPKD have not been well studied even though such lesions markedly affect the clinical course of patients after renal replacement therapy such as dialysis or transplantation, Here we describe the generation of a new mouse model to study the hepatic lesions associated with polycystic kidney disease This model was generated by differentially rescuing the renal pathology in the orpk mutant mouse that displays a hepatorenal pathology that is similar to that seen in human patients with ARPKD. This was accomplished by expressing, as a transgene in the mutant animals, the cloned wild-type version of the gene associated with the mutant locus in this line of mice. Although renal function in the rescue animals is normal, the liver still exhibits biliary and ductular hyperplasia along with varying degrees of hepatic portal fibrosis that is indistinguishable from that in the mutant animals. Most important, the rescue animals survive significantly longer than mutants and will permit a more detailed analysis of the clinical and cellular pathophysiology of the hepatic defect associated with this disease.

In this case, the iodine was retained in solution as iodate, Total iodine was measured by gas chromatographic analysis of the 2-iodopentan-3-one derivative, The methods were tested using Standard Reference Materials (SRMs) 1549 Non-Fat Milk Powder, and 1566a and 1566 Oyster Tissue, Also, KI and KIO3 were used for testing the procedures, The results obtained for the SRMs, given as average +/- standard deviation in mu g g(-1), were: 3.39 +/- 0.14 and 3.40 +/- 0.23 for SRM 1549; 4.60 +/- 0.42 and 4.51 +/- 0.45 for SRM 1566a; and 2.84 +/- 0.16 and 2.76 +/- 0.06 for SRM 1566; values corresponding to combustion and wet oxidation, respectively, Overall, the absolute recoveries varied between 91 and 103%, These methods can also be used in the preparation of targets for the measurement of I-129 using accelerator mass spectrometry.

The resonator/oscillator combination, however, responds differently to liquid loading than the resonator alone, By applying the operating constraints of the oscillator to an equivalent-circuit model for the liquid-loaded resonator, the response of the resonator/oscillator pair can be determined, By properly tuning the resonator/oscillator pair, the dynamic range of the response can be extended and made more linear, closely tracking the response of the resonator alone, This allows the system to measure higher viscosity and higher density liquids with greater accuracy.

AB We report fluorescence detection of individual rhodamine 6G molecules using a linear quadrupole to focus streams of microdroplets through the waist of a counterpropagating cw Ar+ laser. Since the terminal velocity scales as the square of the droplet diameter, the droplet-laser interaction time was ''tunable'' between 5 and 200 ms by using water samples spiked with a small, variable (2-5% v/v) amount of glycerol. Fluorescence bursts from droplets containing single molecules were clearly distinguished from the blanks in real time with an average signal-to-noise ratio of about 10, limited primarily by photobleaching and droplet size fluctuations (<1%). The volume throughput rates associated with this approach (similar to 10 pL/s) are roughly 10(3) higher than those associated with particle levitation techniques, with minimal sacrifice in sensitivity, Total molecular detection efficiencies of about 80% (at >99% confidence) were obtained for 100 and 15 fM rhodamine 6G solutions, in good agreement with detailed theoretical calculations and statistical limitations.

AB A capillary electrophoresis/electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (CE/ESI-MS) interface, based on an electric circuit across a microdialysis membrane surrounding a short capillary segment closely connected to the separation capillary terminus, is demonstrated to be sensitive, efficient, and rugged, A microspray type ionization emitter produces a stable electrospray at the low now rates provided by CE and thus avoids both the need for a makeup liquid now provided by liquid junction or sheath now interfaces and the subsequent dilution and reduction in sensitivity. Reproducibility studies and comparisons with CE/UV and the CE/sheath now interface with ESI-MS are presented. Additionally, postrun acidification via the microdialysis junction interface is demonstrated and shown to be capable of denaturing the holomyoglobin protein noncovalent complex while maintaining separation efficiency.

AB Azoarcus tolulyticus is a new class of widely distributed, toluene-degrading denitrifiers of potential importance in remediating benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and gene (BTEX)-contaminated environments. To detect these organisms in the environment, 16S rRNA gene-based phylogenetic probes were developed. Two sets of specific PCR amplification primers and two oligonucleotide hybridization probes were designed and tested against both closely and distantly related environmental isolates. All of these primers and probes were specific to the species A. tolulyticus. The sensitivity of the PCR amplification primer sets was evaluated with DNA isolated from A. tolulyticus Tol-4 pure culture and from sterile soils seeded with a known number of Tol-4 and Escherichia call cells. These primer sets were able to detect 1 fg to 1 pg of template DNA from the pure culture and 1.11 x 10(2) to 1.1 x 10(8) Tol-4 cells per g of soil in the presence of 1.56 x 10(10) E. coli cells. These two PCR amplification primers were also successfully tested at two field sites. The primers identified the A. tolulyticus strains among the toluene-degrading bacteria isolated from a low-O-2-high-NO3- aquifer at Moffett Field, Calif. Also, the presence of A. tolulyticus was detected in the groundwater samples from a BTEX-contaminated aquifer at an industrial site in Detroit, Mich., which showed anaerobic toluene degradation.

AB Nutrient cost is an important aspect in the fermentation of biomass to ethanol. With a goal of developing a cost-effective fermentation medium, several industrially available nutrient sources were evaluated for their effectiveness in the simultaneous saccharification and fermentation of pretreated poplar with Saccharomyces cerevisiae D(5)A. These studies showed that a low-cost medium containing 0.3% corn steep liquor and 2.5 mM MgSO4 . 7H(2)O was similar in performance to a nutrient-rich medium. Besides its low cost, this alternative medium consists of components that are available on a commercial scale, thereby making it industrially relevant.

AB The thermophilic bacterium, Thermus species ATCC 27978, which is capable of aerobically degrading benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and the xylenes (BTEX), was cultured in 5-1 fermenters on a Castenholz salts-tryptone medium. This bacterium can be cultivated more conveniently at 45 degrees C, a temperature substantially lower than its optimal growth temperature (approx. 60 degrees C). Yet, the washed harvested cells from such cultures display the same initial BTEX-degrading activity as those when Thermus sp. is grown at its higher optimal temperature. Two bioreactor cultivation modes, batch and fed batch, were investigated. More biomass and more BTEX-degrading activity (assayed at 60 degrees C) were generated in fed-batch cultures than in the growth-limited batch cultures. The former yielded a biomass concentration of 2.5 g dry cell weight (DCW) 1(-1) and whole-cell degrading specific activities of 7.6 +/- 1.3, 10.1 +/- 1.9, 9.8 +/- 2.1 2.3 +/- 0.5, and 4.6 +/- 0.9 nmol degraded (mg DCW)(-1) min(-1) for benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, m-xylene, and the o- plus p-xylenes (unresolved mixture), respectively. Although the formation of cellular BTEX-degrading activity is growth-associated, a slow to moderate specific growth rate of 0.02 - 0.07 h(-1) favors the production of BTEX-degrading activity, while a high growth rate, of the order of 0.16 h(-1), is detrimental to its production. The washed harvested Thermus sp. cells were capable of degrading BTEX over a broad range of thermophilic incubation temperatures, 45-77 degrees C.

The high sensitivity (10(-5) fractional absorption) and generality of IR-CRLAS for combustion studies is demonstrated for low pressure laminar flames and is shown to be robust even in sooting environments with high temperature gradients. The ability to obtain (1-D) spatially resolved spectra of both reactants and products within a narrow spectral region is also demonstrated. In these initial flame studies, two information rich mid-infrared spectral regions are probed at Doppler-limited resolution, centered about 1.5 mu m and 3.3 mu m.

ID QUANTITATIVE SPECTRAL-ANALYSIS
AB Miniature, low-cost sensors are in demand for a variety of applications in industry, medicine, and environmental sciences. As a first step in developing such a sensor, we have etched a grating into a GaAs rib waveguide to serve as a wavelength-dispersive element. The device was fabricated with the techniques of metal-organic chemical vapor deposition, electron-beam lithography, optical lithography, and reactive ion-beam etching. While full integration is the eventual goal of this work, for the present, a functional spectrometer was constructed with the addition of a discrete source, sample cell, lenses, and detector. The waveguide spectrometer has a spectral resolution of 7.5 nm and a spectral dispersion of 0.11 degrees/nm. As presently configured, it functions in the spectral range of 1500 to 1600 nm. A demonstration of the analytical capability of the waveguide spectrometer is presented. The problem posed is the determination of diethanol amine in an ethanol solution (about 10 to 100 gn). This procedure involves the detection of the first overtone of the NH stretch at 1545 nm in a moderately absorbing solvent background. The standard error of prediction for the determination was 5.4 g/L.

AB We used nondenaturing polyacrylamide gradient gel electrophoresis to examine the associations of age, adiposity, menopause, and alcohol intake with LDL subclasses in 355 individuals. The absorbency of protein stain was used as an index of mass concentrations at intervals of 0.05 nm within seven LDL subclasses: LDL-IVB (22.0 to 23.2 nm). LDL-IVA (23.3 to 24.1 nm), LDL-IIIB (24.2 to 24.6 nm). LDL-IIIA (24.7 to 25.5 nm), LDL-II (25.5 to 26.4 nm), LDL-I (26.0 to 28.5 nm), and intermediate-size lipoproteins (ISL, 28.0 to 32.0 nm). Age and alcohol intake were obtained from questionnaires, and body mass index was computed from clinic measurements of weight and height. In adult men. body mass index correlated positively with LDL-III. and alcohol intake correlated positively with larger LDL-I. Age was positively correlated with LDL-IIIA and ISL in both men and women and with LDL-IIIB and LDL-II in women. Postmenopausal women had higher LDL-IIIA, LDL-II, and ISL than both premenopausal and premenarchal females. Adult males, greater than or equal to 18 years old, had higher levels of LDL-IIIA and LDL-II than younger males. Adjustment for fasting plasma triglyceride levels eliminated the significant associations between age and LDL-IIIA in both men and women and between age and LDL-II in women. Partial correlation analyses showed that reductions in the LDL peak diameter associated with increasing age, male sexual maturation, menopause, and adiposity are attributable to increases in the LDL-ILIA subclass. Thus, densitometric measurements of protein-stained gradient gels reveal specific relationships between LDL subclasses and age, adiposity, and alcohol intake beyond those identified by the LDL peak or average diameter.

The comparison resulted in the positive detection of radio emission from 799 quasars. Of these, 168 are new radio detections. Examination of the radio luminosities shows a dramatic increase in the fraction of radio-loud quasars from the current epoch to z=0.5 and a gradual decline beyond z=1.0. Inspection of the radio-loud fraction as a function of M-B shows little dependence fainter than M-B=-29.5. (C) 1997 American Astronomical Society.

AB Using 5.33 x 10(6) single muons collected in 1.46 x 10(4) live hours by MACRO during the period 1991-1994, we have searched for a correlation between variations in the underground muon rate, N-mu, and seasonal temperature variations in the atmosphere. These correlations are found to be present with high statistical significance. Analysis of the relatively complete December 1992-December 1994 subset of the data yields a value for the temperature coefficient, alpha(T) = (T/N-mu)(partial derivative N-mu/partial derivative T) = 0.83 +/- 0.13. Analysis of the total data Set gives consistent results.
We have compared this result with the hypothesis that the muons observed in MACRO come from pion decays alone. Although our result is consistent with the 'pion only' hypothesis, a discussion of the sensitivity of our data sample to the kaon component of the cascades leading to observed muons underground will also be presented.

AB It is expected that high-albedo materials will be used widely in urban areas particularly in warm and hot climates of the U.S. This will likely happen if high-albedo measures are adopted in building energy codes and urban planning regulations. The changes would mean that portions of urbanized airsheds may become more reflective to solar radiation than they currently are. This paper describes a modeling study that was aimed at analyzing the mesoscale meteorological and ozone air quality impacts of large-scale increases in surface albedo in California's South Coast Air Basin (SoCAB). For a late-August episode, the simulations indicate that implementing high-albedo materials in the SoCAB would have a net effect of reducing ozone concentrations. With extreme increases in albedo, peak concentrations at 3 p.m. decrease by up to 7% (from 220 down to 205 ppb) while the total ozone mass in the mixed layer decreases by up to 640 metric tons (a decrease of 4.7%). Largest reductions in concentrations at 3 p.m. are on the order of 50 ppb whereas the largest increases are on the order of 20 ppb. With respect to the National Ambient Air Quality Standard, domain-wide population-weighted exceedance exposure to ozone decreases by up to 16% during peak afternoon hours and by up to 10% during the day-time.

AB Climatologies of tropospheric NOx(NO + NO2) and NOy (total reactive nitrogen: NOx + NO3 + 2 x N2O5 + HNO2 + HNO3 + HNO4 + ClONO2 + PAN (peroxyacetylnitrate) + other organic nitrates) have been compiled from data previously published and, in most cases, publicly archived. Emphasis has been on non-urban measurements, including rural and remote ground sites, as well as aircraft data. Although the distribution of data is sparse, a compilation in this manner can begin to provide an understanding of the spatial and temporal distributions of these reactive nitrogen species. The cleanest measurements in the boundary layer are in Alaska, northern Canada and the eastern Pacific, with median NO mixing ratios below 10 pptv, NOx below 50 pptv, and NOy below 300 pptv. The highest NO values (greater than 1 ppbv) were found in eastern North America and Europe, with correspondingly high NOy (similar to 5 ppbv). A significantly narrower range of concentrations is seen in the free troposphere, particularly at 3-6 km, with NO typically about 10 pptv in the boreal summer. NO increases with altitude to similar to 100 pptv at 9-12 km, whereas NOy does not show a trend with altitude, but varies between 100 and 1000 pptv. Decreasing mixing ratios eastward of the Asian and North American continents are seen in all three species at all altitudes.
Model-generated climatologies of NOx and NOy from six chemical transport models are also presented and are compared with observations in the boundary layer and the middle troposphere for summer and winter. These comparisons test our understanding of the chemical and transport processes responsible for these species distributions. Although the model results show differences between them, and disagreement with observations, none are systematically different for all seasons and altitudes. Some of the differences between the observations and model results may likely be attributed to the specific meteorological conditions at the time that measurements were made differing from the model meteorology, which is either climatological how from GCMs or actual meteorology for an arbitrary year. Differences in emission inventories, and convection and washout schemes in the models will also affect the calculated NOx and NOy distributions. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.

AB We present sufficient conditions for the existence of a single stable controller to stabilize a set of n SISO plants: P-1, P-2,..., P-n (strong simultaneous stabilization). As is well known, this is equivalent to the existence of a single controller, not necessarily stable, to stabilize n+1 plants (simultaneous stabilization). The basic assumption required in this paper is that all the plants have the same unstable zeros. A practical example of where such an assumption holds is when each plant has the same pure delay, which is approximated by a non-minimum-phase rational function. The results here are applied to examples of this type. (C) Elsevier Science Ltd.

ID FORCE-FIELD; B-DNA; PROTEINS; RNA
AB The particle-mesh Ewald (PME) method is considered to be both efficient and accurate for the evaluation of long-range electrostatic interactions in large macromolecular systems being studied by molecular dynamics simulations. This method assumes ''infinite'' periodic boundary conditions resembling the symmetry of a crystal environment. Can such a ''solid-state'' method accurately portray a macromolecular solute such as DNA in solution? To address this issue, we have performed three 1500-ps PME molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, each with a different box size, on the d(CGCGA(6)CG)-(CGT(6)CGCG) DNA dodecamer, The smallest box had the DNA solvated by a layer of water molecules of at least 5 Angstrom along each orthogonal direction. The intermediate size box and the largest box had the DNA solvated by a layer of water molecules of at least 10 Angstrom and 15 Angstrom, respectively, along each orthogonal direction. The intermediate size box in the present study is similar to the box size currently chosen by most workers in the field, Based on a comparison of RMSDs and curvature for this single DNA dodecamer sequence, the larger two box sizes do not appear to afford any extra benefit over the smallest box, The implications of this finding are briefly discussed.

AB Increasingly, allogeneic and even more often autologous bone marrow transplants are being done to correct a wide variety of diseases. In addition, autologous marrow transplants potentially provide an opportune means of delivering genes in transfected, engrafting stem cells. However, despite its widespread clinical use and promising gene therapy applications, relatively little is known about the mechanisms of engraftment in marrow transplant recipients, This is especially so in the nonablated recipient setting. Our data show that purified lineage negative rhodamine 123/Hoechst 33342 dull transplanted hematopoietic stem cells engraft into the marrow of nonablated syngeneic recipients, These cells have multilineage potential, and maintain a distinct subpopulation with ''stem cell'' characteristics. The data also suggests a spatial localization of stem cell ''niches'' to the endosteal surface, with all donor cells having a high spatial affinity to this area. However, the level of stem cell engraftment observed following a transplant of ''stem cells'' was significantly lower than that expected following a transplant of the same number of unseparated marrow cells from which the purified cells were derived, suggesting the existence of a ''nonstem cell facilitator population,'' which is required in a nonablated syngeneic transplant setting.

AB Hemoglobin (Hb) S Antilles is a naturally occurring form of sickling human Hb but causes a more severe phenotype than Hb S. Two homozygous viable Hb S Antilles transgene insertions from Tg58Ru and Tg98Ru mice were bred into MHOAH mice that express high oxygen affinity (P-50 similar to 24.5 mm Hg) rather than normal (P-50 similar to 40 mm Hg) mouse Hbs, The rationale was that the high oxygen affinity MHOAH Hb, the lower oxygen affinity of Hb S Antilles than Hb S (P-50 similar to 40 v 26.5 mm Hg), and the lower solubility of deoxygenated Hb S Antilles than Hb S (similar to 11 v 18 g/dL) would favor deoxygenation and polymerization of human Hb S Antilles in MHOAH mouse red blood cells (RBCs). The Tg58 x Tg98 mice produced have a high and balanced expression (similar to 50% each) of h alpha and h beta(S Antilles) globins, 25% to 35% of their RBCs are misshapen in vivo, and in vitro deoxygenation of their blood induces 30% to 50% of the RBCs to form classical looking, elongated sickle cells with pointed ends. Tg58 x Tg98 mice exhibit reticulocytosis, an elevated white blood cell count and lung and kidney pathology commonly found in sickle cell patients, which should make these mice useful for experimental studies on possible therapeutic intervention of sickle cell disease.

AB In support of a Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, we have started to evaluate regional seismic-event discrimination capabilities for central Asia, emphasizing western China. We have measured noise and signal levels of over 260 earthquakes and 26 underground nuclear explosions recorded at the broadband, digital station WMQ in western China and over 120 earthquakes and five nuclear explosions at station AAK in Kyrgyzstan. The explosions are from the Kazakh Test Site (KTS) and Lop Nor, China. The earthquakes are mostly from northwest China. Event magnitudes (measured as either m(b) or M-L) range between 2.5 and 6.5 and maximum event-station distance is about 1700 km. We formed phase, spectral, cross-spectral, short-period/long-period, and long-period ratios to test many possible event discriminants. All ratios were corrected for distance effects before forming ratio-versus-magnitude discrimination plots.
The most consistent discriminants for separating earthquakes from explosions are P/S phase ratios for frequencies above 3 to 4 Hz. P-wave (f > 1 Hz) to Rayleigh-wave (0.03 Hz < f < 0.1 Hz) ratios are also effective, but surface-waves are difficult to measure for magnitudes below about 4.5. For the P/S ratios, separation between earthquakes and explosions increases with frequency, and for the P/R ratios, separation increases with increasing P frequency. The P (3 to 6 Hz)/S (0.75 to 1.5 Hz) cross-spectral ratios also separate earthquakes and explosions. These cross-spectral ratios may prove quite useful because, due to weak high-frequency L-g signals from explosions, the high-frequency P/L-g ratio sometimes cannot be evaluated, but the P (3 to 6 Hz)/L-g (0.75 to 1.5 Hz) can be evaluated successfully.
P spectral ratios (3 to 6 Hz/0.75 to 1.5 Hz) also separate earthquakes and explosions but not quite as consistently as the P/S ratios. However, P spectral ratios may prove useful in cases where path effects block or highly attenuate S-n and L-g waves, rendering the P/S ratios unavailable. In contrast to Nevada Test Site (NTS) events, the L-g (3 to 6 Hz/0.75 to 1.5 Hz) spectral ratio does not separate earthquakes and nuclear explosions in central Asia. This observation may be a source effect. as Asian explosions are thought to be detonated in highly lithified rocks below the water table, while most of the smaller (m(b) < 4.8) NTS explosions have been detonated in poorly lithified rocks above the water table.
dFor station AAK, the short-period spectral and cross-spectral ratios identify a few earthquakes (not recorded at WMQ) from the north Pamir region that plot with the Lop Nor explosions. The waveforms from these earthquakes lack surface waves and a distinct L-g phase. These events, which we interpret as having occurred in a subducted slab, do separate from the explosions on high-frequency (f > 4 Hz) P/S discrimination plots. For station WMQ, long-period R/L (Rayleigh-wave/Love-wave) ratios separate KTS explosions and Asian earthquakes. However, R/L ratios fail to identify the large Lop Nor explosions recorded at station AAK because the Love waves an as large as the Rayleigh waves, suggesting that strong tectonic release occurs with these explosions. Because we have examined only one path at a single station for these explosions, source-radiation pattern may be influencing this observation.

AB The mechanism(s) by which or particles like those emitted from inhaled radon and radon progeny cause their mutagenic and carcinogenic effects remains unclear, Although direct nuclear traversals by or particles mag be involved in mediating these outcomes, increasing evidence indicates that alpha particles can cause alterations in DNA in the absence of direct ''hits'' to cell nuclei, Using the occurrence of excessive sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) as an index of DNA damage in human lung fibroblasts, we investigated the hypothesis that alpha particles may induce DNA damage via the generation of extracellular factors, We have found that a relatively low dose of or particles indeed results in the generation of extracellular factors, which, upon transfer to unexposed normal human cells, can cause excessive SCEs to an extent equivalent to that observed when the cells are directly irradiated with the Same irradiation dose, A short-lived, SCE-inducing factor(s) was generated in alpha-irradiated culture medium containing serum in the absence of cells; it was found that the activity of this factor can be promptly inhibited by superoxide dismutase, A more persistent SCE-inducing factor(s), which can survive freeze-thawing, is heat labile and also can be inhibited by superoxide dismutase, was produced by fibroblasts after exposure to alpha particles, These results indicate that the initiating target for alpha-particle-induced genetic changes can be larger than the nuclear compartment alone and even larger than the cytoplasmic compartment, How transmissible factors like those observed here lit vitro may extend to the in vivo condition in the context of alpha-particle-induced carcinogenesis in the respiratory tract and elsewhere remains to be determined.

AB The class of 90 kDa heat shock proteins (HspSO) is among the most abundant heat shock proteins (Hsps) in eukaryotic cells. In vertebrates, HspSO is encoded by two distinct gene families giving rise to products of 84 and 86 kDa. In mice the expression of these two genes, hsp84 and hsp86, vary with respect to each other in responses to stress, and also in response to signals for growth and development. Therefore, as a step towards understanding the molecular basis for the differential regulation of these two genes, we have isolated and characterized genomic clones of the murine hsp86 gene and its 5' flanking region. The gene is composed of eleven exons interrupted by 10 introns. The 5' region contains consensus TATA, several stimulatory protein-1 binding site (SP1) elements as well as six consensus heat shock elements (HSE) 5' of the transcription start site. An 806 bp fragment of the 5' promoter region conferred constitutive expression upon a reporter gene and this expression was increased upon heat shock.

AB In this study we examine the complex and chaotic oscillations of a dynamical system with nonlinear excitation and restoring forces for the purpose of controlling these oscillatory states. The physical system, modeled as a system of first-order nonlinear ordinary differential equations, takes into account a geometric nonlinearity in the restoring force, a quadratic viscous drag, and a harmonic excitation force. It is controlled using small perturbations about a selected unstable cycle and control is instigated for periodic cycles of varying periodicities The controller, when applied on the dynamical system with additive random noise in the excitation, successfully controls the system with noise levels in excess of 5% of the total energy, giving the first evidence that (stochastic) control of these systems is possible.

AB An ultrasonic technique was developed to measure the slurry concentration in an autoclave reactor. Preliminary measurements were conducted on slurries consisting of molten FT-200 wax, glass beads, and nitrogen bubbles at a typical Fischer-Tropsch (FT) synthesis temperature of 265 degrees C. The data show that the velocity and attenuation of the sound are well-defined functions of the solid and gas concentrations in the molten FT-200 wax. The results suggest possibilities for directly measuring solids concentration during operation of a three-phase slurry reactor under the reaction temperature and with molten FT-200 wax.

AB The effects of diagonal and off-diagonal energy disorder on the exciton level structure and spectroscopic properties of cyclic (C-n) arrays of coupled chromophores are analyzed using symmetry adapted basis defect patterns (BDP). An important aspect of this approach is that any arbitrary defect pattern can be expressed as a superposition of BDP. Determination of the effects of each BDP on the exciton manifold allows for a systematic approach to the question of whether or not energy disorder can account for spectroscopic data given a zero-order C-n-Hamiltonian. The insights provided by representation theory and the BDP are illustrated with an application to a C-9-ring of bacteriochlorophyll molecules such as found in light harvesting complex 2 of purple bacteria. An understanding of how energy disorder affects exciton level structure is essential for understanding inter-exciton level relaxation dynamics.

AB An understanding of the conformational behavior of the stereoisomeric tetrols at the 11,12,13,14-positions of dibenzo[a,l]pyrene (DB[a,l]P) is essential for the spectroscopic identification of DNA adducts derived from the biologically highly active fjord region syn- and anti-DB[a,l]P-11,12-diol 13,14-epoxides. Conformational effects are expected to play an important role in DNA-DB[a,l]P diol epoxide reactivity, base-sequence specificity, and conformation dependent repair. The results of conformational studies on trans-anti-, cis-anti-, and cis-syn-DB[a,l]P tetrol isomers are presented and compared to the results obtained previously for trans-syn-DB[a,l]P tetrol (Carcinogenesis 17, 829-837, 1996). Molecular mechanics, dynamical simulations, and semiempirical calculations of electronic transitions are used to interpret the low-temperature fluorescence spectra and H-1 NMR data. Molecular dynamics simulations (in vacuo) identified two conformers (I and II) for each of the tetrol isomers; in all conformations the aromatic ring system is severely distorted. Fluorescence line-narrowing (FLN) spectroscopy identified tyro distinct conformational species for the trans-anti isomer, one occurring in ethanol and the other occurring in a glycerol/water matrix. The corresponding structures are assigned based on the S-1 <-- S-0 transition energies calculated for conformers I and II, respectively. H-1 NMR spectroscopy confirmed the structure of conformer I at room temperature. In contrast to trans-syn-DB[a,l]P tetrol (where the major conformation was identified as a boat structure), both conformations of trans-anti-DB[a,l]P tetrol feature a half-chair structure for the cyclohexenyl ring with different orientations of the hydroxyl groups. For cis-anti- and cis-syn-DB[a,l]P tetrols, only a single conformer is detected by FLN spectroscopy. The NMR results for the latter appear to be most consistent with a mixture of two half-chair conformers I and II, while for the cis-anti isomer a flattened, boatlike conformation was observed. The generally good agreement between the NMR coupling constants and those estimated theoretically indicates that these structures should serve as good starting points for spectroscopic or computational studies of DNA adducts derived from DB[a,l]P diol epoxides.

AB The use of electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) for the characterization of noncovalent complexes of biomacromolecules in solution is based upon the gentle nature of the electrospray process that allows a wide range of associations to be transferred intact to the gas phase as fully desolvated complexes, Examples include multimeric proteins, oligonucleotide duplexes, DNA-drug complexes and enzyme-inhibitor complexes, Various studies have indicated that at least some qualities of the three-dimensional solution structures are retained in the gas phase, Recent investigations have also shown the relative stabilities of complexes in the gas phase can be very different than the same complexes in solution, In spite of this, the use of very gentle electrospray interface conditions can provide a direct reflection of relative solution abundances for similar complexes, Competitive binding experiments using sets of ligands have been shown to yield insights regarding relative binding affinities in solution. The potential for high throughput affinity screening of combinatorial libraries using ESI-MS is described based upon the multi-stage MS capability of Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance instrumentation and involving the characterization of components (after dissociation) of the library constituents initially present as complexes with a target biopolymer in the ion trap, This approach combines, in one rapid experiment, both affinity selection by complex formation with a biopolymer and the identification of the ligands selected from combinatorial mixtures, thus providing information on the relative binding affinities of the library constituents, The present status, limitations and promise of these methods are discussed.

AB Formation of a inorganic-organic hybrid material from hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene, (NPCl2)(3), and quinone precursors directly at the electrode surface was studied. These materials are formed from electrochemically generated quinone radical anion and quinone dianion at the electrode surface followed by nucleophilic substitution of the chlorine on the phosphazene heterocycle. The polymerization process is controlled by the electrochemical-chemical-electrochemical-chemical.. (ECEC..) mechanism and is independent of the concentration of the BQ in the solution. The chemical composition of the poly(cyclophosphazene-benzoquinone), PPBQ, material was examined by elemental analysis and the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. P-31 Nuclear magnetic resonance, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction were used to characterize the chemical structure of the material. The results confirm that the PPBQ is formed by replacement of four chlorine atoms on one (NPCl2)(3) precursor by four quinones which are linked directly to the phosphorus through their oxygens. The resulting material is amorphous, chemically inert, electrically nonconducting, nonflammable, and porous. The thickness of PPBQ and porosity of the PPBQ can be controlled electrochemically.

DT Article
AB A wide range of integer optimization formulations have been successfully used in a variety of applications dealing with distribution, production, finance, and a host of other areas. Since the general integer optimization problem is NP-complete, specialized theory and techniques have evolved to utilize the special structures in individual applications. This has led to different categories and sub-categories of techniques that need to be evaluated in selecting a solution strategy for a new integer optimization formulation. The availability of computer packages or callable libraries for only a few techniques results in the need to either modify an existing code or implement a new code from scratch.
This article illustrates the utility of object oriented programming methodology in implementing a modular, reusable library of techniques that can be extended easily to develop code for solving new integer optimization formulations. The flexibility in the library allows for easy customization of existing techniques for new applications as well as development of new techniques that utilize the code in the existing library. The ease of customization or reusability of this library is depicted by comparing it with the code written in conventional programming languages, such as Fortran or C. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.

AB We use the term ubiquitous supercomputing to refer to systems that integrate low- and midrange computing systems, advanced networks and remote high-end computers with the goal of enhancing the computational power accessible from local environments, Such systems promise to enable new applications in areas as diverse as smart instruments and collaborative environments, However, they also demand tools for transporting code between computers and for establishing flexible, dynamic communication structures, In this article, we propose that these requirements be satisfied by introducing Java classes that implement the global pointer and remote service request mechanisms defined by a communication library called Nexus, Java supports transportable code; Nexus provides communication support and represents the core communication framework for Globus, a project building infrastructure for ubiquitous supercomputing, We explain how this NexusJava library is implemented and illustrate its use with examples.

AB This paper describes a development platform for the description, analysis and implementation of real-time control systems, consisting of a mixture of continuous and discrete components. Hybrid and discrete-event system techniques are used for formally defining the control and supervisory system requirements. These requirements result from functional characteristics specified for the process to be controlled. Based on the specifications, a series of control components belonging to a finite set of object classes is defined and arranged in a hierarchical architecture, The hierarchical topology is a simple tree, where any component has a single parent. Object-oriented technologies are used to implement the notion of component classes. With this formal description of process functionality, a computer software generator interprets the control specifications and produces executable control software. This software reacts to environmental responses by executing the supervisory and control actions required to achieve the desired process behavior. The paper only describes the conceptual idea of the proposed control development platform in a general manner. As an example, an application of this platform is presented for developing the control software for a production process that converts metallic sodium from nuclear reactors to sodium carbonate for safe waste disposal.

AB A comparison of Small Scale Intelligence (SSI) with conventional Artificial Intelligence (AI) and teleoperation for mobile robot control is presented here. A simple simulation of a randomized swarm of SSI revers is described, which provides some expected performance parameters for such systems, and provides a point of comparison with AI and teleoperation in terms of searching a defined space. The SSI technique is then illustrated by applying it to solving a postulated task for a lunar rover. An approach to the hybridization of Small Scale Intelligence (SSI) control systems with a telerobotic man-machine interface is also briefly proposed and discussed. The purpose of this paper is to explore how the SSI approach might be applied to a lunar rover system, and what potential advantages such an approach may have over more conventional approaches.

DE voltage spike; dB/dt; cable-in-conduit conductor
AB A 27-strand hybrid superconducting cable-in-conduit conductor (CICC) was fabricated and tested under quickly-ramped high magnetic fields. When the field increased linearly on the CICC, the voltage signal showed several intermittent spikes before it quenched. This paper describes an observation of peculiar voltage spikes during these ramp-rate limitation experiments. The voltage spikes are interpreted as quench precursors and understood as current redistribution events within the local cable inside the conduit. A quantitative correlation is obtained for the magnetic field at which the first voltage spike occurs during ramping fields. The non-uniform current distribution among the strands and the induced loop current in the cable, which is generated by ramped fields, are found to be responsible for the voltage spikes.

AB Several new approaches to the design of improved thermoelectric materials have stimulated a resurgence of interest in this very old field. Within the past two years materials have been developed that validated one or more of these new ideas. Perhaps the most significant development is the concept and realization of materials that conduct electricity like a crystalline solid but heat like a glass. In these materials a weakly bound atom or molecule 'rattler' is used to lower the thermal conductivity of the solid without severely affecting electronic conduction, thus leading to improved thermoelectric efficiency.

AB Cell sorting of biologic specimens by flow cytometry has become a widely used technique in research and clinical laboratories. Because viable biologic specimens can contain infectious agents, precautions need to be taken to prevent the exposure of operators of flow cytometers to biohazards arising from the use of these instruments. The International Society of Analytical Cytology (ISAC) recognized the need for establishing guidelines for sorting of un fixed cells and initiated the formation of a Biohazard Working Group, which has produced a set of recommendations that can aid in preventing such exposures. The guidelines contain recommendations on 1) sample handling, 2) training and protection of operators, 3) laboratory design, 4) cell sorter setup and maintenance, and 5) testing the instrument for the efficiency of aerosol containment.

AB The International Society of Analytical Cytology (ISAC) Biohazard Working Group presents guidelines for sorting of unfixed cells, including known biohazardous samples, using jet-in-air, deflected droplet cell sorters. There is a risk that personnel operating these instruments could become exposed to droplets and aerosols containing biological agents present in the samples. The following guidelines can aid in the prevention of exposures of laboratory personnel to pathogens contained in the sort samples. The document provides biosafety recommendations for sample handling, operator training and protection, laboratory facility design, and instrument setup and maintenance. In addition, it describes in detail methods for assessment of instrument aerosol containment. Recommendations provided here may also help laboratories to obtain institutional and/or regulatory agency approval for sorting of unfixed and known biohazardous samples. (C) 1997 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

DE FCS 3.0; Data File Standard; flow cytometry
AB In 1984, the first flow cytometry data file format was proposed as Flow Cytometry Standard 1.0 (FCS1.0). FCS 1.0 provided a uniform file format allowing data acquired on one computer to be correctly read and interpreted on other computers running a variety of operating systems. That standard was modified in 1990 and adopted by the Society of Analytical Cytology as FCS 2.0. Here, we report on an update of the FCS 2.0 standard which we propose to designate FCS 3.0. We have retained the basic four segment structure of earlier versions (HEADER, TEXT, DATA and ANALYSIS) in order to maintain analysis software compatibility, where possible. The changes described in this proposal include a method to collect fries larger than 100 megabytes (not possible in earlier versions of the standard), the Inclusion of international characters in the TEXT portions of the file, a method of verifying data integrity using a 16-bit cyclic redundancy check, and increased keyword ord support far cluster analysis and time acquisition. This report summarizes the work of the ISAC Data File Standards Committee. The complete and detailed FCS 3.0 standard is available through the ISAC office [Sherwood Group, 60 Revere Drive, Ste 500, Northbrook, IL 60062, phone: (847) 480-9080 ext. 231, fax: (847) 480-9282, E-mail: isac@sherwood-group.com] or through the internet at the ISAC WWW site, http://nucleus.immunol.washingtsn.edu/ISAC.html.

ID RESPONSES; STREAM; PCB
AB Bioindicators of fish health were measured from 1989 through 1994 in populations of redbreast sunfish (Lepomis auritus) at three sites within a stream receiving inputs of mixed contaminants from an industrial facility, and at two reference sites, Bioindicator responses differed for fish from contaminated and reference sites throughout the study period, but temporal trends at contaminated sites reflected improved water quality associated with pollution-control efforts, Temporal variability unrelated to contaminant exposure strongly influenced the response of bioindicators at both reference and contaminated sites, but spatial variability rarely influenced these responses, Temporal variability was less influential on slower responding indicators at higher levels of biological organization. The diverse response characteristics of indicators increased the ability to differentiate natural from anthropogenic sources of variability, Integrated bioindicator responses were compared among site-year groups by multivariate canonical analysis, The primary canonical variable, associated with differences in growth, exhibited trends consistent with the timing of pollution-control efforts, Two indicators of contaminant exposure (7-ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase activity and polychlorinated biphenyls in fish muscle) also exhibited trends consistent with the timing of pollution-control efforts, but the likelihood of possible mechanistic linkages cannot be assessed with available data.

AB Over the 1970s and 1980s, emissions of carbon dioxide from energy use fell in per capita, per unit GDP, and in some cases in absolute terms in 10 industrialized countries studied by LBNL, These declines were driven principally by falling end-use energy intensities and the decreasing carbon content of energy, By the early 1990s, however, a slowdown in the decline of intensities and the continued growth of GDP and energy services activity have reversed the trends in absolute emissions, LBNL concludes that CO, emissions will continue to rise in the future unless energy intensities and/or the carbon content of energy can be decreased at an accelerated rate via policy changes, technological innovation and/or behavioural adaptation.

DE energy intensity; industry; demand indicators
AB Because of limitations on the availability and quality of data, energy analysts and policy makers are forced to use indicators of industrial energy intensity (energy input/industrial output) that are less than ideal, In this paper, we identify and discuss several issues and problems that arise in the construction of commonly-used industrial energy intensity indicators; in particular, we focus on issues that arise due to the use of alternative measures of output in intensity indicators, Several commonly-used indicators of industry-level energy intensity were constructed for several US manufacturing industries in order to illustrate these issues and problems, We find that trends in energy intensity based on value of output (eg value of production) can diverge quite sharply from trends in energy intensity based on volume of output (eg tons of output), Discrepancies between value-and volume-based indicators of energy intensity in large part appear to be due to the way in which industrial output statistics are constructed under the US Standard Industrial Classification system, Discrepancies may also be the result of measurement errors in price deflators and simple definitional differences between various value-based measures of output, We conclude that policy makers should carefully examine and understand the limitations of commonly-used energy intensity indicators before such indicators serve as a basis for policy decisions.

AB Energy consumption of the iron and steel industry is examined in seven countries (Brazil, China, France, Germany, Japan, Poland and the United States) for the period 1980-1991, Using a decomposition analysis based on physical indicators for process type and product mix, we decompose intra-sectoral structural changes and efficiency improvements, Specific energy consumption decreased in all countries except Poland, Efficiency improvement played a key role in Brazil, China, Germany and the US, while structural changes were the main driver for energy savings in France and Japan, We also compare the use of various economic indicators to physical indicators and find that they do not track physical developments well in Poland or the developing countries we studied, In the industrialized countries, value added based energy intensity indicators generally reflect the specific energy consumption better than other economic indicators, although large differences occur in individual years, We found a smaller correlation between other economic indicators (gross output and value of shipments) and specific energy consumption, We conclude that use of physical energy intensity indicators improves comparability between countries, provides greater information for policy-makers regarding intra-sectoral structural changes, and provides detailed explanations for observed changes in energy intensity.

Between 1973 and 1991, the production growth in the pulp and paper industry in the analysed countries would have resulted in an average increase in the primary energy consumption by 42%, Changes in the product mix had hardly any effect on the primary energy consumption, Because of energy efficiency improvements, the growth of primary energy consumption was limited to only 16%, The average annual efficiency improvement amounted to 1.6%, The methodology presented enables physical energy efficiency comparisons to be made between countries without the need for data at the process level.

AB In this paper, we discuss the difficulties in measuring the effectiveness of policies intended to encourage compliance with international carbon restraint agreements, We establish the connection between energy consumption and carbon emissions, and demonstrate a method of disaggregating changes in each into changes in economic activity and structure, energy intensity and fuel mix factors, We utilize this method to analyze the historical trends in energy consumption and carbon emissions in the USA from 1960 to 1993, We analyze the contributions of the various factors to the restraint or encouragement of energy use and carbon emissions, We conclude that, in general, changes in the levels of economic activity have tended, all other factors being equal, to increase emissions, whereas declines in energy intensity and shifts in fuel mix have tended to restrain emissions, Changes in economic structure have had mixed effects, Finally, we discuss the problems with the available data which make the observation of the impact of energy and carbon policies difficult.

DE groundwater; geochemistry; stable-isotopes; resources
AB In the spring of 1995, 24 samples were collected from a widely distributed system of municipal water wells in Albuquerque, N.M., and analyzed for hydrogen (delta D) and oxygen (delta(18)O) isotopic compositions. delta D values for 15 of these samples are largely similar to those reported by Yapp in 1985, but have locally become more negative by as much as 5 per mil (parts per thousand). delta D - delta(18)O data define two endmembers that are well aligned along the familiar meteoric water line (MWL): (1) the eastern domain (mountain precipitation runoff), having delta D > - 86 parts per thousand (similar to the criteria of Yapp) and delta(18)O > - 12.1 parts per thousand (this work); and (2) a central basin domain, which may be in part derived from water seepage from the Rio Grande, having delta D < - 95 parts per thousand and delta(18)O < - 13.2 parts per thousand. Only a few wells across the basin have delta D values near the ''baseline'' value of the Rio Grande, defined by Yapp as - 92 parts per thousand. The proximity of these wells to the Rio Grande is consistent with recharge by seepage from the river bed under baseline conditions. Extensive pumping in the eastern domain and West Mesa areas may be partly responsible for an apparent expansion of the central-basin regime of water more depleted in delta D, much as a plume migrating in response to transient perturbations in original hydraulic gradients. Vertically stacked groundwater occurrences having limited interconnection are inferred from the significant differences in isotopic compositions of samples from two wells screened at multiple depths. The central and western parts of the basin are little influenced by contributions from the eastern domain. Some groundwaters from the western part of the basin plot below the MWL and clearly cannot be mixtures solely of the eastern domain and central basin endmembers. The origins of these western groundwaters and the most depleted central basin groundwaters are as yet unknown, but we speculate they may have received recharge under climatic conditions different from the present.

AB Epidemiological studies have identified several factors that are likely to have a major effect on reducing rates of cancer: reduction of smoking, increased consumption of fruits and vegetables, and control of infections. Other factors include avoidance of intense sun exposure, increased physical activity, and reduced consumption of alcohol and possibly red meat. Risks of many types of cancer can already be reduced, and the potential for further reductions is great. In the United States, cancer death rates for-all cancers combined are decreasing, if lung cancer (90% of which is due to smoking), is excluded from the analysis. We review the research on causes of cancer and show why much cancer is preventable. The idea that traces of synthetic chemicals, such as DDT, are major contributors to human cancer is not supported by the evidence, yet public concern and resource allocation for reduction of chemical pollution are very high, in part because standard risk assessment uses linear extrapolation from limited data in high-dose animal cancer tests. These tests are done at the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and are typically misinterpreted to mean that low doses of synthetic chemicals and industrial pollutants are relevant to human cancer. About half the chemicals tested, whether synthetic or natural, are carcinogenic to rodents at such high doses. Almost ail chemicals in the human diet are natural. For example, 99.99% of the pesticides we eat are naturally present in plants to ward off insects and other predators. Half of the natural pesticides that have been tested at the MTD are rodent carcinogens. Cooking food produces large numbers of natural dietary chemicals. Roasted coffee, for example, contains more than 1000 chemicals: of 27 tested, 19 are rodent carcinogens. Increasing evidence supports the idea that the high frequency of positive results in rodent bioassays is due to testing at the MTD, which frequently can cause chronic cell killing and consequent cell replacement-a risk factor for cancer that can be limited to high doses. Because default risk assessments use linear extrapolation. which ignores effects of the high dose itself, low-dose risks are often exaggerated. - Environ Health Perspect 105(Suppl 4):865-873 (1997).

AB Indian mustard (Brassica juncea (L.) Czern) seedlings grown in aerated water (aquacultured) were able to accumulate various metals from artificially contaminated water over a range of environmentally relevant metal concentrations. Seedlings concentrated the divalent cations Pb(ll), Sr(ll), Cd(ll), and Ni(ll) 500-2000 times and concentrated the monovalent Cs(I) and hexavalent Cr(IV) 100-250 times from artificially contaminated water containing the competing ions Ca, Mg, K, SO4, and NO3. Seedlings also removed Cd from artificially contaminated water over a broad Cd concentration range. At the lowest Cd concentration studied, Cd levels were reduced to below 10 ppb (mu g/L). In the absence of competing ions, Cd accumulation in seedlings increased 47-fold. This suggests that a better understanding of the biological processes governing uptake and accumulation of Cd by seedlings should allow the application of modern genetic engineering techniques to improve their selectivity and capacity for Cd removal from waters containing high levels of competing ions. As a first step in this process, we have started to define the tissue and cellular localization of Cd, its accumulation rates and possible uptake mechanisms, and the role of intracellular chelates in Cd detoxification. Intracellular Cd accumulation in seedlings was mediated by saturable transport system(s) and was inhibited competitively in shoots and noncompetitively in roots by Ca2+, Zn2+, and Mn2+. Phytochelatins, the Cd-binding peptides known to be involved in Cd resistance in mature plants, also accumulated in B. juncea seedlings exposed to Cd. Using X-ray absorption spectroscopy, we determined that over time the percentage of Cd bound to phytochelatins in vivo increased from 34% after 6 h of Cd exposure to 60% after 72 h. The remaining intracellular Cd appeared to be octahedrally coordinated by oxygen atoms possibly from organic acids. Our results suggest that the use of aquacultured seedlings of B. juncea could provide a novel approach to the treatment of various metal-contaminated waste streams such as landfill, mining and various industrial runoffs, and leachates.

ID SOIL-GAS ENTRY; EXPERIMENTAL BASEMENT; AIR-FLOW; TRANSPORT
AB To examine the effects of atmospheric pressure fluctuations on radon entry into houses, we report measurements of soil-gas and advective radon entry made using an experimental basement. Based on these measurements, we quantify the contribution of atmospheric pressure fluctuations, steady indoor-outdoor pressure differences, and molecular diffusion to the long-term radon entry rate into the experimental basement. In the absence of a steady indoor-outdoor pressure difference, atmospheric pressure fluctuations at the study site induce a radon entry rate 1.5 times greater than that due to molecular diffusion. A steady indoor-outdoor pressure difference reduces the contribution of atmospheric pressure fluctuations to the longterm radon entry rate. For sustained indoor-outdoor pressure differences with a magnitude greater than 1.5 Pa, atmospheric pressure fluctuations have essentially no effect on the time-averaged radon entry rate into the experimental structure. The results of this study demonstrate that under certain conditions, such as periods during which indoor-outdoor pressure differences are small, atmospheric pressure fluctuations will contribute measurably to the total radon entry rate into a building, potentially doubling indoor concentrations. However, in absolute terms, atmospheric pressure fluctuations drive approximately the same amount of entry as molecular diffusion and,therefore, will probably not cause houses to have long-term, elevated indoor radon concentrations.

AB This research presented a bench-scale investigation of an innovative approach to land farming for the bioremediation of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT)-contaminated soils. Molasses, which contains sugar, nitrogen, vitamins, and minerals, was used as cosubstrate and this process combines several advantages of conventional land farming with the use of molasses for the biological degradation of TNT and its derivatives. In the optimum treatment, contaminated soil was amended with shredded grass and managed in an operating cycle where it was alternatively flooded with a dilute molasses solution, then drained, passively aerated, and finally tilled when moisture conditions were optimum. Soil TNT concentrations in all treatments receiving molasses were reduced from approximately 4,000-mg/kg levels initially to less than 100 mg/kg in 12 months, and to less than 1 mg/kg in the optimum treatment in this same time. Concentrations of the primary metabolic intermediates and bacterial populations were also tracked. Radiolabeling studies confirmed that the biomass enhanced by the treatments could mineralize approximately 20% of [C-14] from a contaminant spike after 22 d. A shredded grass amendment in the optimum treatment was shown to increase moisture retention during aeration phases. The results of this bench-scale study are promising with regard to transferring the process to full-scale applications.

AB The search for an ideal radioisotope for systemic radiotherapy continues. As a generator-produced radioisotope emitting both beta and gamma rays and having a short physical half-life of 16.9 h, rhenium-188 is a very good potential candidate for systemic radiotherapy. In this study, we labeled hydroxyethylidene diphosphonate (HEDP) with Re-188 and analyzed the biodistribution and bone uptake following intravenous injection in rats to assess its potential for clinical use, The rats were injected with approximately 14.8 MBq (0.4 mCi) Re-188-HEDP in a volume of 0.1 ml intravenously and then sacrificed at 1 h, 24 h, or 48 h (four rats at each time). Samples (about 0.1 g) of lung, liver, kidney, spleen, testis, muscle, stool, and bone (thoracic vertebra) were taken and weighed carefully. In addition, a 1-ml sample of blood was drawn from the heart and 1 mi of urine was taken from the urinary bladder immediately after killing. Tissue concentrations were calculated and expressed as percent injected dose per gram or per milliliter (% ID/g or ml). Bone lesions were created in the right tibial bone in three rabbits to calculate the lesion to normal uptake ratio (L/N ratio). The biodistribution data showed that the radioactivity in the bone tissue was as high as 1.877% ID/g at 1 h and that it climbed to 2.017% ID/g at 4 h. The activity level in the kidney was highest at 1 h but declined rapidly throughout the study. The radioactivities in the lung, liver, muscle, spleen, testis, blood, and stool were all lower than 0.3% ID/g at 1 h and also declined rapidly. The biological half-life in bone was the longest (60.86 h). In contrast, the biological half-lives in muscle and blood were short (2.99 h and 6.21 h respectively). The concentrations of radioactivity in muscle, spleen, testis, and stool were quite low throughout the study, Most of the radiotracer was excreted by the urinary system, The L/N ratio was 4.23 +/- 0.21 in rabbits injected with Re-188-HEDP and 4.25 +/- 0.23 in those injected with technetium-99m methylene diphosphonate. In conclusion, we would suggest that Re-188-HEDP is a very good potential candidate for the treatment of bone metastases because of the following characteristics: (1) it is generator produced: (2) it has a short half-life; (3) it emits gamma rays suitable for imaging; (4) there is highly selective uptake in the skeletal system and bone lesions; and (5) it has a low non-target uptake and rapid clearance in nonosseous tissue.

AB Considerable controversy surrounds the importance of inbreeding in natural populations. The rate of natural inbreeding and the influences of behavioral mechanisms that serve to promote or minimize inbreeding (e.g., philopatry vs. dispersal) are poorly understood. We studied inbreeding and social structuring of a population of black-railed prairie dogs (Cynomys ludovicianus) to assess the influence of dispersal and mating behavior on patterns of genetic variation. We examined 15 years of data on prairie dogs, including survival and reproduction, social behavior, pedigrees, and allozyme alleles. Pedigrees revealed mean inbreeding coefficients (F) of 1-2%. A breeding-group model that incorporated details of prairie dog behavior and demography was used to estimate values of fixation indices (Estimates). Model predictions were consistent with the minimization of inbreeding within breeding groups (''coteries,'' asymptotic F-IL = -0.18) and random mating within the subpopulation (''colony,'' asymptotic F-IS = 0.00). Estimates from pedigrees (mean F-IL = -0.23, mean F-is = 0.00) and allozyme data (mean F-lL = -0.21, mean F-IS = -0.01) were consistent with predictions of the model. The breeding-group model, pedigrees, and allozyme data showed remarkably congruent results, and indicated strong genetic structuring within the colony (F-LS = 0.16, 0.19 and 0.17, respectively). We concluded that although inbreeding occurred in the colony, the rate of inbreeding was strongly minimized at the level of breeding groups, but not at the subpopulation level. The behavioral mechanisms most important to the minimization of inbreeding appeared to be patterns of male-biased dispersal of both subadults and adults, associated with strong philopatry of females. Incest avoidance also occurred, associated with recognition of close kin via direct social learning within the breeding groups.

AB Culture-based techniques have traditionally been the primary tools utilized for studying the microbiology of terrestrial subsurface environments. Recently, nucleic acid-based methods have been employed to further characterize the microbial diversity in subsurface sediments and rocks, but the results have not been related to individual bacteria cultivated from the same environment. Restriction fragment length profiles of 16S rRNA genes derived from bulk community DNA or bacterial isolates were compared to determine the efficacy of PCR-based methods for studying microbial diversity and phylogeny in a deep (188 m) subsurface environment. The phylogenetic relatedness between 16S rRNA genes of enrichment cultures and individual clones was also determined through DNA sequence analysis of 16S rRNA genes. Restriction fragment length profiles from PCR clone libraries accounted for 64% of recovered isolates and 55% of the estimated culturable diversity based upon their 16S rDNA RFLP signatures. DNA sequence comparisons between the 16S rDNA of the most commonly occurring isolates and clones confirmed that similar DNA. sequences were contained within the RFLP groups used to categorize the isolates and clones. For 7 of 8 RFLP groups for which DNA sequences were obtained, nearest neighbor assignments corresponded at the genus level but suggested that 16S rDNA sequences from multiple genera were contained within single RFLP profiles. Phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA sequences supported the nearest neighbor inferences and indicated that 16S rDNA clones derived from bulk sediment were specifically related to isolates recovered on enrichment plates. This study has shown that a majority of the cultivated aerobic heterotrophic bacteria in a subsurface sediment could be described by 16S rDNA clones obtained from directly extracted DNA, but that PCR-based methods cannot account for all organisms from a given sample. Consequently, a more comprehensive assessment of microbial diversity in subsurface (and probably other) environments can be obtained by using a combination of culture- and molecular-based techniques than by using either method alone.

AB A new group-contribution method is presented for prediction of vapor-liquid equilibria of polymer solutions. It is based on a close-packed lattice model developed previously; this model contains a revised Flory-Huggins entropy and a series expression for excess internal energy, as well as a double-lattice model to account for specific, oriented interactions. The group-contribution method includes three contributions: the combinatorial and free-volume contribution which is primarily responsible for entropy, the van der Waals energy contribution responsible for dispersion and polar forces, and the specific energy contribution from hydrogen bonding. Most of the model parameters can be estimated using pure-component properties, either from experimental data or from group-contribution methods in the literature. The group-contribution method described in this work gives parameters for the cross specific interaction energy from hydrogen bonding between segments of polymers and segments of solvents. Parameters for pairs of groups are obtained by correlating experimental data for vapor pressures and infinite-dilution activity coefficients of solvents in polymer solutions. The method shown here gives improved results for prediction when compared with those of other group-contribution models. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.

AB Accurate measurement of mercury speciation (Hg-0 and Hg2+) in power plant flue gas is necessary to model the fate and transport of mercury in the atmosphere and understand and evaluate the effectiveness of mercury control technologies. Research work jointly sponsored by the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRT) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is currently under way at the University of North Dakota Energy & Environmental Research Center to determine whether U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Method 29 or other methods can speciate mercury. Five different methods have been tested, and it has been found that EPA Method 29 does not speciate mercury properly in coal-generated flue gas. Two methods that show promise are the tris-buffer and the Ontario Hydro methods.

AB Particulates from the combustor bed drain, cyclone drain and filter cakes of the Tidd 70 MWe pressurized fluidized bed combustion plant were analysed for particle size distribution and for compounds derived from the dolomitic sulfur sorbent injected into the bed. As expected, the bed material consisted chiefly of coal ash, orthorhombic CaSO4 and MgO. The elutriated particles captured by the cyclone and filters also contained ash and CaSO4, but X-ray diffraction patterns revealed that the Mg in the filter cakes was present as a compound known in the literature as Mg3Ca(SO4)(4). Analyses showed that the compound in question was formed in the filter cakes, yielded its production rate, and showed that it was the product of the (unintended) reduction of SO2 emissions by the filter vessel. However, it was also shown that the correct stoichiometry of this important compound is Mg2Ca(SO4)(3), not Mg3Ca(SO4)(4).

ID ARTIFICIAL-CHROMOSOME LIBRARIES
AB We consider nonadaptive pooling designs for unique-sequence screening of a 1530-clone map of Aspergillus nidulans. The map has the properties that the clones are, with possibly a few exceptions, ordered and no more than 2 of them cover any point on the genome. We propose two subdesigns of the Steiner system S(3, 5, 65), one with 65 pools and approximately 118 clones per pool, the other with 54 pools and about 142 clones per pool. Each design allows 1 or 2 positive clones to be detected, even in the presence of substantial experimental error rates. Move efficient designs are possible if the overlap information in the map is exploited, if there is no constraint on the number of clones in a pool, and if no error tolerance is required. An information theory lower bound requires at least 12 pools to satisfy these minimal criteria, and an ''interleaved binary'' design can be constructed on 20 pools, with about 380 clones per pool. However, the designs with more pools have important properties of robustness to various possible errors and general applicability to a wider class of pooling experiments. (C) 1997 Academic Press.

AB We have investigated the binding environments of Cu2+ and Pb2+ complexed by soil humic substances using synchrotron-based X-ray absorption spectroscopy. With the assistance of bond network analysis, analysis of X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) and radial structure functions derived from extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectra of Cu-humate at pH 4, 5, and 6 yielded a tetragonally-distorted octahedral binding environment for Cu with 4 O atoms at an average distance of 1.94 (A) over circle, 2 O atoms at an average distance of 2.02 (A) over circle, and 4 C atoms at an average distance of 3.13 (A) over circle. Analysis of Pb-humate samples at pH 4, 5, and 6 yielded 4 O atoms at average distances between 2.46 (A) over circle to 2.32 (A) over circle and 2 C atoms at an average distance of 3.26 (A) over circle for Pb. We interpret the presence of C atoms in the second atomic shell of the metal binding site as evidence that both Cu(2+)and Pb2+ form innersphere complexes with soil humic substances. Within the pH range 4-6,there is no significant change in the structure of the binding sites for either Cu or Pb. Copyright (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd

AB The coordination environments of first row transition elements (Co, Ni, Cu, and Zn) complexed by aquatic and soil humic substances were studied using X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). With the assistance of bond network analysis, analysis of X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectra and radial structure functions (RSF) derived from extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectra of Co, Ni, Cu, and Zn in humic substances indicate an octahedral binding environment for Co, Ni, and Zn and a tetragonally-distorted octahedral binding environment for Cu. Analysis of EXAFS spectra of each element provides detailed information on the internuclear distances, bond angles, and Debye-Waller factors within the first two atomic shells surrounding Co, Ni, Cu, and Zn bound to humic substances. We interpret the presence of C atoms in the second atomic shell of the metal binding site as further evidence that Co, Ni, Cu, and Zn form innersphere complexes with humic substances. The number and type of ligands involved in the binding are different for different elements. Copyright (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd

AB The lunar crust, down to a depth of similar to 65 km, is composed of older (>4.5 Ga) ferroan anorthosites and younger (4.43-4.17 Ga) Mg-suite lithologies which include dunites, troctolites, and norites. The anorthosites are generally inferred to represent floating cumulates in a lunar magma ocean (possible depth 800 km, moon's radius similar to 1,738 km). The cumulates that are inferred to be located near the base of the magma ocean are dominantly olivine and pyroxene. The last dregs of the magma ocean are enriched in incompatible elements and have been named KREEP (K, rare earth elements, P). KREEP, formed in this manner, is probably concentrated near the crust/mantle boundary at similar to 70 km depth. We are attempting to characterize melts parental to ferroan anorthosites and Mg-suite norites by analyzing REEs (La, Ce, Nd, Sm, Eu, Dy, Er, Yb) and Ba, Sr, and Y in their cumulus plagioclase. If the cumulus grains have not been compromised by postcrystallization effects and if we know the relevant mineral/melt partition coefficients (Ds) we can invert the trace element data for plagioclase to parental melt compositions. Melts parental to ferroan anorthosites are estimated to contain REE at concentrations ten to fifty times chondrites. Melts parental to the earlier crystallizing anorthosites (lower REE) have virtually no Eu anomaly, while melts parental to later crystallizing anorthosites (higher REE) have small negative Eu anomalies. This is qualitatively consistent with the fractionation of Eu relative to other REE by crystallization of plagioclase with large positive Eu anomalies. Melts parental to the Mg-suite have much higher total REE and very large negative Eu anomalies. The characteristics of Mg-suite norite parental magmas may have been derived by the assimilation of KREEP (near the crust/mantle boundary) by Mg-rich basaltic melts formed deeper in the cumulate pile or near the contact between the lower cumulate horizons of the magma ocean and primitive, unprocessed lunar mantle (similar to 800 km).

AB Measurements of Ca-44/Ca-40, expressed as delta(44)Ca, were made on igneous rocks and on shell and bone material from modern organisms to investigate the magnitude and origins of calcium isotopic fractionation in nature. The results document a span of 4 parts per thousand in delta(44)Ca, measured with the double spike technique to a precision of +/- 0.15 parts per thousand Volcanic rocks, including basalt and rhyolite, show little variability and cluster near delta(44)Ca = 0 +/- 0.2. Systematic analysis of biological samples indicates that biological processing of calcium discriminates against heavy isotopes, and that biological fractionation is the primary generator of calcium isotopic fractionation in nature. Preliminary data suggest that calcium becomes isotopically lighter as it moves through food chains. Calcium carbonate shells of marine microorganisms and deep-sea carbonate ooze have delta(44)Ca about 1.0 parts per thousand lower than seawater; this fractionation causes seawater to be enriched in heavy calcium (delta(44)Ca = +0.9) relative to igneous rocks. Marine organisms consequently are isotopically heavier than their terrestrial counterparts at similar trophic level. The calcium isotopic composition of living and fossil organisms may record information on diet and environment. Copyright (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.

DT Article
ID GENERAL-CIRCULATION MODELS; WORLD OCEAN; MIXED LAYER
AB We show that explicit representation of sinking of salt rejected during sea-ice formation dramatically improves simulated salinity in an ocean general circulation model (OGCM). In our ''control'' simulation, rejected salt goes into the top model layer, and simulated salinities are typical of OGCMs: the deep ocean is too fresh, and the intermediate-depth salinity minimum associated with Antarctic Intermediate Water is absent. These problems are eliminated in our ''test'' simulation, in which we distribute rejected salt uniformly over the upper 160 m. Also, the strength of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current is more realistic in this simulation. These results show the need for, but do not provide, a better representation of sinking of rejected salt. The sensitivity of our model to sinking of rejected salt suggests that a similar sensitivity may exist in the real ocean, and that loss of Antarctic sea ice might have major effects.

DT Article
ID SUBSOLAR MAGNETOPAUSE; MAGNETIC SHEAR; FLUCTUATIONS; LAYER
AB Large amplitude compressional type ULF waves can propagate from the magnetosheath to the magnetopause where there are large gradients in density, pressure and magnetic field. These gradients efficiently couple compressional waves with shear/kinetic Alfven waves near the Alfven field-line resonance location (omega = k(parallel to)v(A)). We present a solution of the kinetic-MHD wave equations for this process using a realistic equilibrium profile including full ion Larmor radius effects and wave-particle resonance interactions for electrons and ions to model the dissipation. For northward IMF a KAW propagates backward to the magnetosheath. For southward IMF the wave remains in the magnetopause but can propagate through the k(parallel to) = 0 location. The quasilinear theory predicts that transport due to KAWs at the magnetopause primarily results from the perpendicular electric field coupling with magnetic drift effects with diffusion coefficient D-perpendicular to similar to 10(9) m(2)/s. For southward IMF additional transport can occur because magnetic islands form at the k(parallel to) = 0 location. Due to the broadband nature of the observed waves these islands can overlap leading to stochastic transport which is larger than that due to quasilinear effects.

AB To enable experiments on the interactive effects of elevated atmospheric CO2 and increased air temperature on physiological processes in trees to be carried out, we altered the standard design of open-top chambers by replacing blowers with evaporative coolers and in-line heaters, with a feedback control system to maintain ambient or elevated air temperatures within the chambers. Ambient and elevated (+ 4 degrees C) temperature regimes were attained consistently and reliably throughout the growing season, with high reproducibility between chambers. From May through December the average of nearly 300,000 temperature measurements was 18.5 degrees C in ambient air, 18.9 +/- 0.6 degrees C in six ambient chambers, and 22.4 +/- 0.9 degrees C in six elevated temperature chambers. The difference in soil temperature between ambient and elevated chambers was 1.2 degrees C. Absolute humidity (vapour pressure) in the chambers was higher than that of ambient air, but it was generally similar between temperature treatments. Vapour pressure deficit therefore was higher in elevated temperature chambers than in ambient chambers, and this difference is considered an inseparable part of the temperature treatment. The addition of a temperature control system to open-top chambers removes what has been an important flaw in this important tool for global change research.

AB Soluble uranyl ion [UO22+, U(VI)] is a kidney poison. Uranyl ion accumulates in bone, and the high specific activity uranium isotopes induce bone cancer. Although sought since the 1940's, no multidentate ligand was identified, until now, that efficiently and stably binds U(VI) at physiological pH, promotes its excretion, and reduces deposits in kidneys and bone. Ten multidentate ligands patterned after natural siderophores and composed of sulfocatechol [CAM(S)], carboxycatechol [CAM(C)], or hydroxypyridinone [Me-3,2-HOPO] metal-binding units have been tested for in vivo chelation of U(VI). Ligands were injected intraperitoneally tip) into mice 3 min after intravenous (iv) injection of U-233 or U232+235 as UO2Cl2 [ligand-to-metal molar ratio 75 to 92]. Regardless of backbone structure, denticity, or binding unit, all 10 ligands significantly reduced kidney U(VI) compared with controls or with mice given CaNa3-DTPA, and four CAM(S) or CAM(C) ligands also significantly reduced skeleton U(VI). Several ligands removed U(VI) from kidneys, when injected at 1 or 24 h. Injected at molar ratios greater than or equal to 300, 5-LIO(Me-3,2-HOPO) and TREN-(Me-3,2-HOPO) reduced kidney U(VI) to about 10% of control. Given orally to fasted mice at molar ratios greater than or equal to 300, those ligands significantly reduced kidney U(VI). In mice injected iv with 0.42 mu mol kg(-1) of U-235 and given 100 mu mol kg(-1) of one of those Me-3,2-HOPO ligands ip daily for 10 d starting at 1 h after the U(VI)) loss of kidney U(VI) was greatly accelerated, and the kidneys of treated mice showed no microscopic evidence of renal injury. Crystals of uranyl chelates with linear tetradentate ligands containing bidentate Me-3,2-HOPO groups demonstrate a 1:1 structure. Considering low toxicity, effectiveness, and reasonable cost, the structurally simple linear tetradentate ligands based on the 5-LI backbone (diaminopentane) offer the most promising approach to a clinically acceptable therapeutic agent for U(VI). Work is in progress to identify the most suitable CAM or HOPO binding unit(s).

ID HOMES
AB Measured surface radium content, geologic province information, information on the fraction of homes with basements and with living-area basements, and measurements from the EPA/State Residential Radon Surveys, were used in a Bayesian mixed effects regression to predict the distributions of short-term winter and annual living area average radon concentrations by county in the mid-Atlantic states. The information provided by those explanatory variables is roughly equivalent to collecting an extra 12 observations per county, effectively doubling the amount of information in a typical county. Predicted county geometric means are subject to standard errors of 15% to 30% for typical counties, with the uncertainty in a given county depending on the number of radon measurements in the county and the amount of information about the geologic province that contains the county. After controlling for soil radium concentration and the effect of measuring in a basement vs. the first floor, typical geologic provinces are found to be associated with elevation or depression of indoor radon concentrations by 30% on average, with some provinces having effects of considerably larger magnitude.

TI Automotive HUDs: The overlooked safety issues

DT Article
ID ACCOMMODATION; EYE
AB The transfer of tactical aviation technology into automobiles is creating information display requirements that are likely to be met by use of the head-up display (HUD). These developments are based largely on conclusions that the HUD-related safety issues raised in the aviation HUD literature can be dismissed and that the benefits of using HUDs are certain. Such conclusions either neglect relevant research or are supported by a very small amount of evidence, much of which is either irrelevant or generated within a flawed methodological paradigm. This critical review covers the issues of (a) HUD focal distance and its effect on the perception of outside objects and (b) the effects of HUD imagery on visual attention. The issues of focal distance, cognitive capture, and the inherent connection between the two may have a greater impact on safety in the automotive context than they do in aviation.

TI An annunciator architecture for the year 2000
SO IEEE AEROSPACE AND ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS MAGAZINE

DT Article
AB Exciting new safeguards and security technologies are on the horizon, and some are even on the shelves today. Self-testing sensors, smart sensors, and intelligent alarm analyzers are all designed to provide useful information to the operator. However, today's current annunciator systems were not designed to accommodate these new technologies. New display technologies are also changing,the look and feel of the annunciator of the future. Annunciator technology needs to ''catch up'' to these other security technologies. This paper presents the concept for a new, object-oriented approach to annunciator architecture design. The new architecture could accommodate simple, switch-closure devices as well as information-rich sensors and intelligent analyzers. In addition the architecture could allow other leading-edge interfaces to be easily integrated into the annunciator system. These technologies will reduce operator workload and aid the operator in making informed security decisions.

AB We describe the metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) growth of AlAs1-xSbx cladding layers and InAsSb-InAs multiple-quantum well (MQW) and InAsSb-InAsP strained-layer superlattice (SLS) active regions for use in mid-infrared emitters. The AlAs1-xSbx cladding layers were successfully doped p-or n-type using diethylzinc or tetraethyltin, respectively. By changing the layer thickness and composition of SLS's and MQW's, we have prepared structures,vith low temperature (<20 K) photoluminescence wavelengths ranging from 3.2 to 6.0 mu m. We have made gain-guided injection lasers using undoped p-type AlAs0.16Sb0.84 for optical confinement and both strained InAsSb-InAs MQW and InAsSb-InAsP SLS active regions. The lasers and light-emitting diodes (LED's) utilize the semi-metal properties of a GaAsSb(p)-InAs(n) heterojunction as a source for electrons injected into active regions. A multiple-stage LED utilizing this semi-metal injection scheme is reported. Gain-guided, injected lasers with a strained InAsSb-InAs MQW active region operated up to 210 K in pulsed mode with an emission wavelength of 3.8-3.9 mu m and a characteristic temperature of 29-40 K. We also present results for both optically pumped and injection lasers with InAsSb-InAsP SLS active regions. The maximum operating temperature of an optically pumped 3.7-mu m strained-layer superlattice (SLS) laser was 240 K. An SLS LED emitted at 4.0 mu m with 80 mu W of power at 300 K.

AB We review the chemistry, microstructure, and processing of buried oxides converted from AlGaAs layers using wet oxidation. Hydrogen is shown to have a central role in the oxidation reaction as the oxidizing agent and to reduce the intermediate product As2O3 to As. The stable oxide is amorphous (AlxGa1-x)(2)O-3 which has no defects along the oxide/semiconductor interfaces but can exhibit strain at the oxide terminus due to volume shrinkage. The influence of gas flow, gas composition, temperature, Al-content, and layer thickness on the oxidation rate are characterized to establish a reproducible process. Linear oxidation sates with Arrhenius activation energies which strongly depend upon AlAs mole fraction are found. The latter produces strong oxidation selectivity between AlGaAs layers with slightly differing Al-content. Oxidation selectivity to thickness is also shown for layer thickness <60 nm, Differences between the properties of buried oxides converted from AlGaAs and AlAs layers and the impact on selectively oxidized vertical cavity laser lifetime are reported.

AB One of the options for a design of a Central Solenoid in ITER and other tokamak machines is pancake wound modules. In this configuration joints have to be placed in maximum magnetic field with high changing rate. Joints should be designed to have at least the same or larger temperature margin as that for the conductor in the same field. We show that joints in parallel field can be designed to meet this requirement along with reasonably low DC resistance. Losses in parallel field are calculated and design features which can suppress AC losses without increasing DC resistance are discussed. Recommendations for low loss, low DC resistance joints are made.

Both cables achieved DC critical current, I-c greater than 500 A, A calorimetric technique that measures the cable temperature rise under ac currents was used to measure the ac loss of the cables, The un-insulated cable showed a cryoresistive behavior under the 60 Hz AC currents. The insulated cable started to show measurable ac loss at current where there was corresponding DC resistive voltage.

In collaboration with Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), two 500 A and one 2000 A prototype cables have been designed, constructed, and tested(1), The cables were wound with Bi-2223/Ag HTS tapes acquired from Intermagnetics General Corporation (IGC), and tested with both de and ac currents in liquid nitrogen (LN2). Critical currents of 900 A dc or better were achieved for the first two cables. The third cable was tested to an ac current over 2200 A(rms). This paper describes the design rationale, the construction process, and the highlights of the test results.

AB Accelerating gradients Eacc = 26 MV/m with a world record Q of 3 x 10(10) in 9-cell TESLA superconducting RF (SRF) cavities have been reached in CW and pulsed RF modes. On the way to reaching the excellent performance, we experimentally characterized quench natures (most serious obstacle to higher gradients), investigated the Kapitza conduction and boiling heat transfer between cavities and LHe II, and studied the quench behaviors both in He II and normal LHe. Finally, we discuss the possibilities of further greatly raising the accelerating gradients to 50-100 MV/m by use of Nb3Sn and some HTc superconducting materials.

AB The Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator (CEBA) uses mechanical tuners at 2 K driven by room temperature stepping motors in a feedback loop to maintain cavity frequency at 1497 MHz, A modification of the existing system was designed, replacing a passive section of the mechanical tuner with a magnetostrictive tuning element consisting of a nickel rod and an industrially supplied 0.25 T superconducting solenoid, This assembly was tested with several magnetic shield configurations designed to keep the stray flux at the niobium cavity below 1 mu T when the cavity was normal, to maintain cavity Q. Results of the tests, including change in cavity performance when the cavity was locally quenched near the end of the solenoid, showed that a multilayer shield of 6mm of steel, with sheets of mu metal, niobium and mu metal spaced appropriately outside the thick steel, was effective in containing the flux, both remanent and current-driven, preventing any change in cavity Q upon cool down or quench with an external heater near the end of the solenoid, Hysteresis attributed to the nickel magnetostrictive element was observed.

ID FIELD
AB A study has been conducted on the design of large-bore, superconducting solenoid magnets in an effort to determine how weight and cost scales with field and size. The fields considered ranged from 0.5 to 20 T and bore sizes from 3 to 10 m, the designs are based on light-weight, high-performance superconducting magnet designs using cable-in-conduit niobium-titanium and niobium-tin conductors. All methods to reduce the weight of the magnets are used, and both aluminum and stainless steel are considered for the structure. With the length of the magnets fixed at 10 m, the amount and cost of the conductor is determined for each field and bore size, The largest magnets are determined for each field value that have weights under 10(4), 10(5), and 10(6) kg. The cost scales as the square root of stored energy and in millions of dollars is twice the product of field (T) and bore (m).

AB Tokamaks in the future will use superconducting cable-in-conduit-conductors (CICC) in all Poloidal Field (PF) & Toroidal Field (TF) magnets. Conventional quench detection, the measurement of Small resistive normal-zone voltages (<1.V) in the magnets will be complicated by the presence of large inductive voltages (>4 kV). In the quench detection design for TPX, we have considered several different locations for internal co-wound voltage sensors in the cable cross-section as the primary mechanism to cancel this inductive noise. The Noise Rejection Experiment (NRE) at LLNL has been designed to evaluate which internal locations will produce the best inductive-noise cancellation, and provide us with experimental data for comparison with developed earlier theory. The details of the experiments and resulting data are presented and analyzed.

AB A proposed muon-muon collider [1] uses a final accelerator which is separate from the collider ring. To minimize acceleration time and hence loss of muons by decay, a possible design for this accelerator consists of two, long, parallel linacs having a large energy gain per pass and semi-circular arcs of fixed-field magnets at each end, The muons would make 10 to 20 passes around the final accelerator ring, with an input energy of 250 Gev and output energy of 2 Tev; the present design assumes 16 passes, The recirculator magnets, described here for the end arcs, consist of an array of 16 apertures arranged in four adjacent, vertical stacks having four, 50 mm apertures in a stack, each stack having an iron yoke in common. This type of,configuration reduces cost by taking advantage of coupling between apertures, but results in some undesirable skew harmonics, The highest dipole field is 7 tesla, and there is an 0.406 T difference between adjacent apertures in a stack. A similar quadrupole stack having a maximum gradient of 175 T/m is also presented.

AB In the design of interaction region (IR) quadrupoles for high luminosity colliders such as the LHC or a possible upgrade of the Tevatron, the radiation heating of the coil windings is an important issue, Two obvious solutions to this problem can be chosen. The first is to reduce the heat load by added shielding, increased cooling with fins or using Nb3Sn to increase the temperature margin, The second solution eliminates the conductor from the areas with the highest radiation intensity, which are located on the symmetry-axes of the midplanes of the coils, A novel quadrupole design is presented, in which the conductor is wound on four half-moon shaped supports, forming elongated toroid sections, The assembly of the four shapes yields a quadrupole field with an active flux return path, and a void in the high radiation area, This void can be occupied by a liquid helium cooling pipe to lower the temperature of the windings from the inside, The coil layout, harmonic optimization and mechanical design are shown, together with the calculated temperature rise for the radiation load of the LHC interaction region quadrupoles.

The mechanical design includes strong preloaded collars, shims to adjust the fit between components when warm, contact between the collar and iron when cold for better coil support, and a closed iron to reduce harmonics. This paper summarizes mechanical finite element results for assembly, cooldown to 1.8 K, and excitation to maximum gradient.

All heat deposited in the coil must be removed so that the magnets will remain in a superconducting state. The quadrupole magnets are designed to be cooled with stagnant pressurized He II. This paper summarizes the heat flow analyses from the insulated coil to the boiling saturated He II for the LHC interaction region quadrupoles.

We discuss the motivation for and design of these gauges, present results from calibration tests performed at 300 K and 4.2 K, and compare these results with calibration of existing beam-type transducer gauges. We discuss calibration reproducibility, reliability, and accuracy. We also present preliminary coil stress measurements using these gauges in a model quadrupole magnet during the collaring, yoking, cool down, and excitation processes.

AB The recently revived superconducting magnet program at Fermilab is currently focused on the development of high gradient quadrupoles for possible use in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) interaction regions at CERN. In order to provide input for the new quadrupole design which will operate in superfluid helium, we have tested a Fermilab Tevatron low-beta quadrupole cold mass and compared its low temperature performance to a newly assembled heavily instrumented version which was mechanically modified to take advantage of the gain in critical current.

These magnets were mapped using a rotating coil assembly housed within a G-10 drum. A description of the apparatus and technique used to map the magnets over an excitation range of 0 to 2 tesla will be described. This method of mapping provides for an almost real time measurement of field strength, effective field length, field gradient, transfer function and the determination of symmetry planes. The hysteresis loop and affects of eddy currents will be shown. A comparison of the measured field values with calculated values will also be given.

AB An eight coil Superconducting toroidal magnetic spectrometer has been designed for the GO experiment to be performed at Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (TJNAF). The toroid is designed so that the particle trajectories pass through the magnet insulating vacuum. The magnet is made of aluminum structural components with a copper stabilized indirectly cooled conductor. The toroid is 2 meters long, 4 meters outside diameter and is oriented with its major axis horizontal. This orientation allows its use as an eight fold symmetric focusing spectrometer. The SC magnet has a stored energy of 6.5 Mjoules, The design and analysis of this device will be presented. The plans and status of magnet system procurement will be presented. The RFP [1] was issued in May 1996.

ID STORAGE-RING
AB LASSY is a proposed large angle gas filled spectrometer for detecting and analyzing heavy nuclei generated when a heavy ion beam (such as fully stripped argon) collides with an actinide thin film target (such as curium). With luck, superheavy nuclei, up to atomic number 114 to 116, can be produced at the target. In order to improve, the acceptance and resolution of the shortest lived nuclei, the length of the magnet system must be as short as possible. The LASSY spectrometer consists of a 4 to 6T superconducting magnet that produces 2.5 Tm of bending (bend radius induction product) with a bend angle of 135 degrees or more. particles generated at the target (and their decay products) must be focused on an electronic detector less than 3 meters from the target. The resulting spectrometer magnet is quite complex with sections that focus as well as band the particles from the target. This report presents two possible designs for a large superconducting bending magnet that is a pure bending magnet in the canter with defocusing bending sections at the ends of the magnet. This paper shows how one might build a bending magnet that is in sections, section having a tunable quadrupole and sextupole field in addition to the dipole field.

AB The g-2 experiment dipole consists of a single 48 turn, 15.1 meter diameter outer solenoid and a pair of 24 turn inner solenoids, 13.4 meters in diameter. The inner solenoids are hooked in series and are run at a polarity that is opposite that of the outer solenoid, thus creating a dipole field in the space between the inner and outer solenoids, The dipole flux is returned by a C shaped continuous iron. The superconducting solenoid coils are closely coupled to the solenoid mandrels and as such are subject to quench back. This report presents the results of various tests on the g-2 magnet system operating within its iron return yoke. These tests include quench back time constant measurements for the inner and outer solenoids and measurements of the response of the two-phase forced cooled helium cryogenic system to magnet quenches. The overall effectivness of the g-2 magnet quench protection system was measured.

CT 1996 Applied Superconductivity Conference
CY AUG 25-30, 1996
CL PITTSBURGH, PA
AB In order to generate intense muon beams for a muon collider, intense pion beams must be produced in a stationary proton beam target. The pions produced by the target must be captured before they can go through phase rotation and decay into muons. A 20 T solenoid with a clear bore of 150 mm can capture particles with a transverse momentum of 225 MeV/c or less. As the captured particles leave the capture solenoid, the magnetic induction is decreased to 5 T while the beam pipe diameter increases to 300 mm. Phase rotation of the pions and the decay of the pions to muons will occur at 5 T. The capture solenoid and the solenoids just downstream from the capture solenoid are subject to high heat loads (up to 4.8 MW) and radiation loads from the target. The conventional inner solenoid of the 20 T hybrid magnet system and the water cooled absorber will absorb virtually all of the particle energy from the target thus protecting the superconducting part of the solenoid system from excessive radiation heating. This report also describes the solenoid magnets from the capture zone to the solenoidal beam channel within the phase rotation RF cavities.

AB We report on the assembly, characterization and operation of a high temperature superconducting (HTS) magnetic separator. The magnet is made of 624 m of Silver/BSCCO superconducting wire and has overall dimensions of 18 cm OD, 15.5 cm height and 5 cm ID. The HTS current leads are designed to operate with the warm end at 75 K and the cold end at 27 K. The system operates in a vacuum and is cooled by a two stage Gifford-McMahon cryocooler. The upper stage of the cryocooler cools the thermal shield and two heat pipe thermal intercepts, The lower stage of the cryocooler cools the HTS magnet and the bottom end of the HTS current leads. The HTS magnet was initially characterized in liquid cryogens. We report on the current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of the HTS magnet at temperatures ranging from 15 to 45 K. At 40 K the magnet can generate a central field of 2.0 T at a current of 120 A.

AB A one-dimensional heat conduction model is employed to predict burnout of a Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 current lead, The upper end of the lead is assumed to be at 77 K and the lower end is at 4 K. The results show that burnout always occurs at the warmer end of the lead. The lead reaches its temperature in two distinct stages. the temperature rises slowly when part of the lead is in flux-flow As the local state. As the local temperapure, it begins to increase shaply. Burnout time depends strongly on flux-flow resistivity.

AB Recent processing developments in Bi1.8Pb0.4Sr2Ca2Cu3Ox (BSCCO-2223) bars have produced bulk BSCCO-2223 bars with properties advantageous for power applications. Cold isostatically pressed (CIP) and sinter-forged BSCCO-2223 both have low AC loss, which make them desirable for use in power devices. Thermal conductivity of the CIP bars is lower than that of the previously used sinter-forged samples by a factor of 2. CIP bars with cross-sectional areas of approximate to 0.75 cm(2) and carrying 250 A RMS transport current have AC loss values of 30 mu J/cycle-cm at 50 Hz and 77 K. A pair of prototype downlinks were designed and built with sinter forged bars to deliver a continuous AC current of 1500 A over a temperature gradient of 77 to 4.2 K while delivering about approximate to 200 mW of heat to the liquid-helium-cooled end. This paper will discuss the design considerations and modeling of downlinks, which supply high AC currents over the 77 to 4.2 K temperature gradient with low thermal losses.

AB A cosine theta type dipole magnet using Nb3Sn conductor have been designed, built and tested. D19H is a two-layer dipole magnet with a Nb3Sn inner layer and a recycled NbTi outer layer. Coil-pairs are connected with two of the four Nb3Sn splices in a high field region, and compressed by a ring and collet system. The ramp-rate sensitivity and the splice resistances were pleasingly low; and the 4.4K training was rapid. At 1.8K, however, the unusually high frequency of outer-coil fast-motion events increased with current, effectively creating a training-ceiling at 90% of the expected outer-layer limit (10.2 T). A low end-load applied to a relatively fluffy outer layer is believed to have caused this training limit. The end-load was increased; but a retest was aborted after the magnet failed a precautionary hipot test.

AB At 2 TeV the mean life time for a muon is 41.6 ms. In order to achieve high luminosity at the collider collision point, the dipole central induction for the storage ring should be over 8 T. The storage ring carries muon over 1000 turns through the ring before they decay away. Muons decay to two neutrinos and an electron or positron (depending on the charge of the decaying muon). Seventy percent of the muon energy will be taken away by the neutrinos. The electrons (at average energies of 700 GeV) and the photons (at energies up to 2.1 GeV) are quite penetrating. At the design luminosity of the muon collider, the superconducting dipoles and quadrupoles in the storage ring must contain muon beams (up to 1.4x10(14) muons per second) that will deposit over 1.8 kW per meter of energy into the storage ring. This report presents two design approaches for superconducting dipoles and quadrupoles than can be used for the muon collider storage ring.

AB A collaboration of Fermilab, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and Brookhaven National Laboratory is engaged in the design of a high gradient quadrupole suitable for use in the LHC interaction regions. The cold iron design incorporates a two-layer, cos(2 theta) coil geometry with a 70 mm aperture operating in superfluid helium. This paper summarizes the progress on a magnetic, mechanical and thermal design that meets the requirements of maximum gradient above 250 T/m, high field quality and provision for adequate cooling in a high radiation environment.

AB React-before-wind surface-coated BSCCO-2212 is being established as a relatively low cost HTS conductor for practical applications. Quality tape is presently being manufactured in lengths of 450 to 500m at a cost estimated to be 1/3 to 1/5 of the industry costs of BSCCO-2223 powder-in-tube tape. Robust, mechanically sound coils for applications ranging from NMR insert magnets to transformer windings are being made from this BSCCO-2212 tape. The coils have performed consistently through test and thermal cycling without degradation and operate as projected from short sample measurements. A hybrid approach, which uses mainly BSCCO-2212 augmented by BSCCO-2223 conductor in the high radial field end regions. is expected to halve the overall superconductor cost for magnet systems.

AB The Large Hadron Collider interaction regions require quadrupoles with a 70 mm diameter bore, a gradient of 250 T/m, and good cooling so that the magnets can operate in a high radiation background without quenching. In order to meet these stringent requirements, a two-layer magnet with a high aspect ratio cable has been designed. This cable utilizes the SSC inner and outer layer strands, which have been optimized and are available in large quantities. The initial design parameters for both cables are 15.2 mm width; the inner cable has 38 strands of 0.8 mm diam wire and a keystone angle of 0.99 deg. The outer cable has 46 strands of 0.65 mm diam wire and a keystone angle of 0.69 deg. These cables have been fabricated and then subjected to a number of tests to insure their performance in the quadrupole. These test results, including model coil winding studies, electrical property measurements, and mechanical property measurements will be presented.

AB A complete production line for fabricating CICC dummy conductor has been designed, constructed and tested for TPX program. The line is capable of producing up to 500 meters of CICC conductor and is scaleable up to 1.5 km in length. The line consists of a payoff spool for feeding cable inside the tubes, a welding station, a drawing station which includes dies and a bull-block, and a takeup spool. We have demonstrated the fabrication of the conductors. Two types of conductor, one for TF and the other one for PP coil have been produced. The conduit materials are Incoloy 908, which are formed from strips. The cables are made from OFHC copper strands. The detail design, fabrication and testing of each component of the system is presented in this paper.

AB The stability of magnet conductors may be characterized by their minimum quench energy (MQE), i.e. the minimum energy pulse (of small extent and short duration) needed to trigger a quench, Using small graphite paste and epoxy heaters, we have measured the MQE on a broad range of single wires and Rutherford cables as a function of current, field, temperature and pulse duration, Surface heat transfer to the helium plays an important role. For the cables, we find that specially processed 'porous-metal' cables have by far the highest degree of stability. Measurements are compared with theory.

AB Putting a resistive core into the center of a Rutherford cable increases resistance between strands in the crossover direction, which greatly reduces the coupling currents, even when the resistance to adjacent turns remains small. This allows one to improve stability by soldering strands together or using porous metal, without incurring a penalty of increased coupling. We describe our manufacturing methods and an experimental measurement of coupling.

ID LOSSES; MAGNETS; FIELD; LHC
AB Calorimetric and magnetic measurements of AC loss have been performed on stabrite-coated Rutherford cable conforming to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) inner-winding (28 strand) specification, with the applied field directed either perpendicular to the broad face (the face-on, FO, orientation) or parallel to it (edge-on, EO). It was found that the insertion of a thin metallic or insulating core into the cable suppressed the FO AC loss under typical conditions by a factor of 10 and rendered it practically insensitive to the application of cold uniaxial stress (of up to about 78 MPa). The FO loss having been suppressed, it could also be controlled (i.e. finely adjusted) by changing the level compaction (by varying core thickness at thickness) or external compaction (by changing the overall thickness of the fable). Of course the EO loss was much less sensitive to the presence of a core, the use of which therefore enabled the FO and EO losses to be independently adjusted.

AB A magnetic Pulse Test Facility (PTF), in which samples of CICC electrical joints from each ITER home team will be tested, has been fabricated at the MIT Plasma Fusion Center under an ITER task agreement. Construction of this facility has recently been completed, and an initial test phase on the first CICC joint sample has begun. PTF includes capabilities for sample currents up to 50 kA from a superconducting transformer developed by the University of Twente, magnetic fields up to 6.6 T with ramp rates to +1.5 T/s and -20 T/s, and a cryogenic interface, supplying supercritical helium with flow rates to 20 g/s through each CICC leg at controlled temperatures to 10 K and pressures to 10 atmospheres. A sophisticated, multiple-channel data acquisition system is provided to processed, digitally recorded sensor signals from both the sample and the facility. The facility is totally remote-controlled from a control room through a fiber optic link, and qualified users worldwide are afforded secured access to test data on a 24-hour basis via the Internet. The facility has successfully exercised the first joint sample over the ITER test spectrum with positive results.

AB Extension of the APC approach to Nb3Sn requires that a second phase be incorporated into the Nb3Sn layer. The second phase would increase pinning strength by either reducing the grain size or by the second phase pinning the flux itself. The following criteria for elements to be candidates for the APC approach are: (1) they must form intermetallic compounds with Cu or Sn and (2) they must have negligible solubility in Cu and Nb or they must be strong oxide formers. Many of the rare earth elements satisfy these criteria. To circumvent the large strains required to produce wires with a fine distribution of the second phase, film deposition techniques have been used. Critical current densities for Nb films doped with Ti and Y are about 4,000 A/mm(2) at 6T and 4.2K.

AB Strength, fracture toughness, and elastic modulus data for bulk high-temperature superconductors, commercial 99.9% Ag, and a 1.2 at.% Mg/Ag alloy have been collected These data have been used to calculate fracture strains for bulk conductors. The calculations indicate that the superconducting cores of clad tapes should begin to fracture at strains below 0.2%. In addition, residual strains in Ag-clad (Bi,Pb)(2)Sr2Ca2Cu3Ox tapes have been measured by neutron diffraction. An explanation is offered for why many tapes appear to be able to tolerate large strains before exhibiting a reduction in current transport.

AB The properties of Ag-sheathed Bi2223 tapes depend strongly on the thermomechanical treatment processing parameters. We have examined the conversion of precursor powders to Bi2223 in heat-treated tapes as a function of ramp-to-temperature rate. Tapes containing precursor powders were ramped at rates from 50 degrees C/h to 800 degrees C/h to a Anal temperature of 835 degrees C, then held for 50 h, all in 20% O-2 and 80% N-2. The composition of the tapes was then determined by x-ray diffraction and by low-temperature magnetization measurements. The heat-treated tapes consisted almost entirely of a mixture of Bi2212 and Bi2223. The volume ratio of Bi2223 to Bi2212 in the tapes depended on the ramp rate in a complicated way; the volume ratio was largest (1.17) at 50 degrees C/h, the slowest ramp rate.

AB The critical currents of several NbTi wires have been measured in boiling helium in the temperature range 4.2 - 1.8 K and at magnetic fields up to 10 T. In some instances, I-c (defined at a resistivity of 10(-14) ohm) can be measured over the entire temperature range while for other conductors the quench drops below I-c as the temperature is reduced and the critical current cannot be determined. For most of these strands I-c can again be measured once the helium bath is in the superfluid state but for some wires it is not possible to measure the effective resistivity even in superfluid. Conductors fabricated by the same manufacturer can exhibit completely different behavior. In general there is a tendency for wires with high intrinsic current density and relatively low copper content to perform erratically at the lower temperature.

We found that the resistive onset temperature and field (at level of 10 nV) for all of the measured high angle twist boundaries were similar to those for their constituent single crystals. Furthermore, these boundaries were able to carry critical current as high as the single crystals. Our results suggested absence of weak-link behavior in the high angle [001] twist grain boundaries of Bi-2212 bicrystals.

AB Attenuated Total Reflectance was used to measure phonon vibration frequencies over the range 425-800 cm(-1) of SrTiO3 thin films deposited either directly on LaAlO3, or on YBCO-coated LaAlO3 single crystal substrates. In the s-polarized spectra, the transverse optic Ti-O stretching vibration shifted to lower frequencies as the film thickness increased, which was attributed to damping caused by the generation of lower frequency phonon modes. The transverse Ti-O stretching vibration was also observed in the p-polarized spectra, but was more heavily damped, which indicates the damping is more pronounced when the electric field has a component perpendicular to the film surface. Damping of the transverse modes was attributed to coupling of these modes to other phonon modes, and may be a source of the high losses at microwave frequencies.

Microstructural studies reveals two distinct regions in these levitators due to different growth mechanisms along the a/b and c axes. Some initial result on the mass production of these levitators are also reported.

AB YBa2Cu3Ox (Y-123) and Bi2Sr2CaCu2Oy (Bi-2212) compacts were partial-melt processed. Carbon was introduced into the compacts either by vibratory milling in an organic solution or by heat treating in an atmosphere containing a controlled concentration of CO2. The presence of carbon had a strong effect on the melting response of Y-123, but not Bi-2212. For both materials, magnetic-hysteresis width was strongly expanded with added carbon. Transmission electron microscopy revealed nanometer-stale precipitates In specimens exposed to excess carbon. These precipitates are thought to be responsible for enhanced flux pinning.

AB Large diameter YBa2Cu3Ox levitators have been fabricated using seeded melt processing, Two types of levitators have been produced: single-domain, obtained using flat NdBa2Cu3Ox seeds, and five-domain, obtained using cubic NdBa2Cu3Ox seeds, The difference in these two types of levitators can be attributed to differences in nucleation and solidification processes, In particular, the nucleation of multiple (five) domain levitators may be related directly to the crystallography of the cubic seeding crystals which also exhibit a multiple-domain structure, Single-domain levitators are produced by seeding with plate-like seed crystals which are composed of a single domain. Subsequent growth of the levitator is dominated by anisotropic solidification, Using these types of seeds, we developed a dual-seeded melt textured growth process for the production of bulk bicrystals which are useful for studies of grain boundary transport behavior.

ID ZERO RESISTANCE
AB The importance of near-equilibrium thermodynamics in the growth of TlBaCaCuO materials is well-documented; i.e, the independent control of sample temperature, Tl-oxide partial pressure, and oxygen partial pressure. Here we demonstrate how this is accomplished using a simple version of the crucible process. In addition, we report the relevance of growth kinetics. Superconducting thin films are grown in a two-step process. First, similar to 2000 Angstrom thick, amorphous Ba2CaCu2Ox and Ba2Ca2Cu3Ox precursors are sputter-deposited onto LaAlO3(100) substrates. Films are then thallinated and annealed using the crucible-pellet process. With this method, it is possible to grow essentially single-phase Tl-1212, Tl-1223, Tl-2212, and Tl-2223 thin films. Under similar thermodynamic conditions, we find that different phases dominate the film growth as a function of reaction time. For example, the Tl-x212 phases generally nucleate first, and then, depending on growth conditions, convert to the Tl-1223 or Tl-2223 phase with extended annealing times. We demonstrate that knowledge of both the thermodynamics and the kinetics of growth can yield high-quality films of each of the major Tl-superconducting phases.

Plan view TEM and high-resolution cross-sectional TEM analysis of the films before and after anneals demonstrates changes in the lattice fringe image, overall contrast modulation, and nanometer-scale discontinuities.

AB Magnetic levitation force is a key factor that influences energy loss in flywheel energy storage applications. Experiments on the relationships between levitation force and YB2Cu3Ox sample geometry have been conducted. The levitation force has been measure for single-domain YBa2Cu3Ox samples with different thicknesses and diameters. It has been found that the thickness dependence agrees quite well with a current model. However, the measured levitation force was found only within the linear regime. the levitation force in fact increases as the diameter decreases until a threshold value is reached. As the diameter of HTS sample is reduced smaller than the testing magnet (d=12 mm), the force experiences a rather rapid fall. This behavior can be qualitatively described by a magnetic dipole model based on Meissner currents. Other factors that dominate levitation force are also discussed.

AB Previous work has demonstrated the ability to grow extremely high quality Tl0.5Pb0.5Sr1.6Ba0.4Ca2Cu3Ox epitaxial films up to 15 mu m thick using melt growth techniques on single crystal LaAlO3 substrates, This melt growth process is an ideal candidate for producing high quality superconducting films on flexible metal substrates with textured buffer layers; however, the textured buffer layer of choice, cubic yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ), appears to be incompatible with the melt growth of Tl-Pb-Sr-Ba-Ca-Cu-O films, In this work, we investigate textured buffer layers which are compatible with the epitaxial growth of Tl0.5Pb0.5Sr1.6Ba0.4Ca2Cu3Ox films. Crucial properties for the successful development of a suitable buffer layer are lattice matching, chemical stability, and texture, Buffer layer materials investigated are CeO2 and LaAlO3 grown using a UV (248 nm) pulsed excimer laser deposition system equipped with multiple targets and a controlled ambient, Influence of substrate temperature and ambient gas pressure and flow on buffer growth are analyzed via XRD characterization. Highly textured buffer layers have been fabricated.

AB Many superconductor applications rely on the ability to pin vortex lattices, This ability depends on structural defects to pin individual vortices, but vortex-vortex interactions often play an important role in pinning the other vortices, Experimental progress on this complex problem can be made by introducing random arrays of well-defined pinning centers and studying the flux dynamics for a range of vortex densities (i.e., fields), The results of such studies in epitaxial Tl2Ba2CaCu2Oy films containing ion tracks show the importance of vortex-vortex interactions. As an example, the effective pinning field of the defects rises to many times the ion-dose field for temperatures well below T-c.

Parallel columnar defects to the c axis and crossed columnar defects were introduced into films by heavy-ion irradiation with dose equivalent to 1 or 2 T vortex density. The electrical transport properties including resistivity, critical current density, and the Hall resistivity were measured as a function of temperature, applied magnetic field, and fluence. The irreversibility line defined as an onset of dissipation progressively shifted to higher temperature with increasing dosage and showed its dependence on inclination angle. Critical current also showed a clear enhancement compared to the unirradiated samples. The Hall scaling behavior and the Hall conductivity were modified after heavy-ion irradiation.

This fluence increased the critical current density by a factor of 2-3. The sample was annealed for a total of 4.5 hours at 200 degrees C and 8 hours at 300 degrees C. It was found that annealing of LSCO has a much lesser effect on its critical current density, particularly along the c axis, compared to YBCO. It is hypothesized that the reduced annealing effect is due to the formation of either a more stable interstitial cluster (compared to the Cu-O cluster in YBCO), or dusters which do not act as pinning sites.

AB We have performed measurements of the magnetic field dependence of the magnetic field dependence of the critical current density J(c) of Bi-2212/Ag round wire produced by isothermal melt processing. In contrast to the case for flat tape, there is very little dependence of J(c) on the direction of the magnetic field as it is rotated normal to the wire axis, which is the direction of the nominal current flow. However, when the angle of the magnetic field direction is rotated from normal to the wire axis to parallel to that axis, J(c) at 64 K and 0.2 T increases by more than a factor of four. Again, this is in contrast to the results observed for Bi-2212/Ag and Bi-2223/Ag flat tapes, which show no anisotropy under similar experimental conditions. We can explain these differences in angular anisotropy by referring to the microstructure of these two conductor types, which have distinctly different types of grain alignment. We discuss the general behavior of the dependence of J(c) on the orientation of a magnetic field for high temperature superconductors.

ID CRITICAL-CURRENT DENSITY; SHEATHED TAPES; ENHANCEMENT
AB Significant enhancements in critical current densities in rolled multifilamentary Bi-2223 HTS composite conductors have been achieved using the powder-in-tube (PIT) technique. At 77 K and self field, oxide critical current densities (J(c)) of 55 kA/cm(2), overall or engineering critical current densities (J(e)) of 15 kA/cm(2), and critical currents (I-c) of 125 A have been achieved in different rolled multifilamentary composites. Progress in achieving such high electrical performance is believed to stem in part from an improvement of grain connectivity by reducing weak links. The Jc dependence on magnetic field (B) and the degree of c-axis texture of these high quality conductors have been investigated at various temperatures. Our results also demonstrate that the critical current retention in magnetic field can be independently controlled from the self field critical current density, suggesting that flux pinning improvements and weak link reductions can be separately engineered into Bi-2223 composites fabricated using manufacturable processes.

AB We have developed a process for fabrication of HTS single-flux-quantum logic circuits based on edge SNS junctions which requires six epitaxial film layers and six mask levels, The process was successfully applied to fabrication of small-scale circuits (less than or equal to 10 junctions), This paper examines the materials properties affecting the reproducibility of YBCO-based SNS junctions, the low inductance provided by an integrated YBCO ground plane, and electrical isolation by SrTiO3 or Sr2AlTaO6 ground-plane and junction insulator layers, Some of the critical processing parameters identified by electrical measurements, TEM, SEM, and AFM were control of second-phase precipitates in YBCO, oxygen diffusion, Ar ion-milling parameters, and preparation of surfaces for subsequent high-temperature depositions.

AB Bulk bars for current lead applications were fabricated from (Bi,Pb)-Sr-Ca-Cu .. O (Bi-2223) for low thermal conductivity and high critical current. Bars measuring 17.8 cm in length were made by uniaxially pressing Bi-2223 powder of controlled (1.7/0.34)223 and (1.8/0.4)223 phase composition, The bulk bars were densified by subjecting them to a schedule of alternate liquid-phase sintering and cold isostatic pressing. Liquid-phase sintering temperatures wc:re optimized from differential thermal analysis and microstructure morphology. Phase purity and microstructure were evaluated by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. Low-resistance silver contacts were applied to the bars by hot-pressing at 820 degrees C and 3 MPa. Critical current densities approximate to 1000 A/cm(2) (critical currents of 750 A at 77 K in self-field conditions) were achieved.

The superconductors are a melt-cast BSCCO 2212 rod, a single-filament BSCCO powder-in-tube (PIT) tape, and a multifilament PIT tape. The flux-flow resistivity of those superconductors was measured at three temperatures: 77 K (saturated liquid nitrogen), 87 K (saturated liquid argon), and 67 K (subcooled liquid nitrogen). Implications of the present results for practical applications are discussed.

AB Practical applications of high-temperature superconductors will be governed by their current transport and mechanical characteristics. With careful control of the processing parameters high-quality long-length mono- and multifilament Bi-2223 conductors have been fabricated by the powder-in-tube technique. A critical current density (J(c)) of up to 1.2 x 10(4) A cm(-2) has been observed at 77 K in a 1260-m-long multifilament conductor containing 37 monocore filaments. A high-temperature superconducting magnet and a prototype transformer were fabricated and characterized from such long-length conductors. Extensive studies on the in-situ strain characteristics of the mono- and multifilament conductors have been conducted. Multilayer silver/superconductor composite tapes, fabricated by a novel chemical etching technique, were also observed to exhibit improved strain tolerance characteristics. To further improve the current characteristics of the Bi-2223 tapes the wire-in-tube technique was adopted. A J(c) value > 10(5) A cm(-2) at 77 K and in self field have been obtained in a Bi-2223 tape fabricated by the wire-in-tube method.

AB In the current generation of high-T-c bolometers the thermal conductance is often chosen for a short time-constant rather than for optimal sensitivity. We describe a novel bolometer bias and readout scheme that promises to relax this constraint. Voltage bias of the superconductor results in strong negative electrothermal feedback that greatly reduces the time-constant of the bolometer. We estimate that a decrease of more than one order of magnitude in time-constant should be possible with existing high-T-c thermometers. We give theoretical estimates of the performance gain with voltage bias for several bolometers that have been reported in the literature. We find cases where the sensitivity can be greatly improved (by changing the thermal conductance) while holding the time constant fixed and others where the bolometer can be made much faster while maintaining the sensitivity.

AB We have investigated the effect of device geometry on the excess low frequency 1/f noise of thin-film YBCO dc SQUIDS cooled in static magnetic fields. The key factor in eliminating this noise is the reduction of the linewidth of the SQUID loop to a value below the average separation of the flux vortices. The spectral density of the flux noise in these devices was independence of cooling field up to 33 mu T in the best case. Estimates indicate that incorporating this device into a directly-coupled magnetometer would not increase the noise further.

The optimal growth temperature for the STO films in the STO/YBCO structures was 800 degrees C; higher temperatures resulted in interfacial degradation and poor film quality, and lower temperatures resulted in films with lower dielectric constants (epsilon(r)) and tunabilities. Interdigital varactors comprised of STO films deposited directly on LaAlO3 displayed higher tunabilities and significantly lower losses.

AB To optimize the power in a wind turbine the speed of the turbine should be able to vary with the wind speed. A simple control is proposed that will allow an induction motor to run a turbine at its maximum power coefficient. The control uses a standard V/Hz converter and controls the frequency to where achieve the desired power at a given turbine speed.

AB Many image matching schemes are based on mapping coordinate locations, such as the locations of landmarks, in one image to corresponding locations in a second image. A new approach to this mapping (coordinate transformation), called the elastic body spline (EBS), is described. The spline is based on a physical model of a homogeneous, isotropic three-dimensional (3-D) elastic body, The model can approximate the way that some physical objects deform.
The EBS as well as the affine transformation, the thin plate spline [1], [2] and the volume spline [3] are used to match 3-D magnetic resonance images (MRI's) of the breast that are used in the diagnosis and evaluation of breast cancer. These coordinate transformations are evaluated with different types of deformations and different numbers of corresponding (paired) coordinate locations. In all but one of the cases considered, using the EBS yields more similar images than the other methods.

AB We describe a new approach to imaging neural current sources from measurements of the magnetoencephalogram (MEG) associated with sensory, motor, or cognitive brain activation. Many previous approaches to this problem have concentrated on the use of weighted minimum norm (WMN) inverse methods. While these methods ensure a unique solution, they do not introduce information specific to the MEG inverse problem, often producing overly smoothed solutions and exhibiting severe sensitivity to noise. We describe a Bayesian formulation of the inverse problem in which a Gibbs prior is constructed to reflect the sparse focal nature of neural current sources associated with evoked response data. We demonstrate the method with simulated and experimental phantom data, comparing its performance with several WMN methods.

ID DETECTOR
AB A low-noise, mixed-signal, 128-channel CMOS integrated circuit containing the complete readout electronics for the BABAR Silicon Vertex Tracker has been developed. The outstanding feature of the present implementation is the ability to perform simultaneously low-level signal acquisition, derandomizing data storage, sparsification and data transmission on a single monolithic chip.
The signals from the detector strips are amplified, shaped by a CR-RC2 filter with digitally selectable peaking time of 100 ns, 200 ns, 300 ns, or 400 ns, and then presented to a time-over-threshold processor to implement a compression type analog-to-digital conversion. The digital information is stored, sparsified and read out through a serial link upon receipt of a command. The digital section operates from a 60 MHz incoming clock.
Noise measurements at 200 ns peaking time and 3.5 mW total power dissipation per channel yield an equivalent noise charge of 600 el, rms at 12 pF added source capacitance, The chip measures 5.7 mm x 8.3 mm and contains 330k transistors. The first full-scale prototype was fabricated in a radiation soft 0.8 mu m, 3-metal CMOS process. The same circuit is now being fabricated in an analogous radiation hard technology.

AB The suitability of several on-chip constant-fraction discriminator (CFD) shaping methods for use in the multichannel PHENIX Lead-Scintillator detector has been investigated. Three CFD circuits utilizing a distributed R-C delay-line, a lumped-element R-C delay-line, and the Nowlin shaping method have been realized in a standard 1.2-mu n-well CMOS process. A CFD using ideal delay-line shaping was also studied for comparison. Time walk for 5 ns risetime input signals over a dynamic range of - 2 V to - 20 mV was less than +/- 175 ps, +/- 150 ps, +/- 150, and +/- 185 ps while worst case rms timing jitter measured 85 ps, 90 ps, 100 ps, and 65 ps, respectively, for the four methods mentioned above. Area requirements for the three candidate methods tested including the fraction circuit were 172 mu x 70 mu, 160 mu x 65 mu, and 179 mu x 53 mu, respectively. The fraction circuit area for the external delay-line circuit was 67 mu x 65 mu. Each shaping method studied consumed no power from the de supply.

AB A controller/heap manager has been designed for applicability to all detector subsystem types of PHENIX. The heap manager performs all functions associated with front end electronics control including ADC and analog memory control, data collection, command interpretation and execution, and data packet forming and communication. Interfaces to the unit consist of a timing and control bus, a serial bus, a parallel data bus, and a trigger interface. The topology developed is modular so that many functional blocks are identical for a number of subsystem types. Programmability is maximized through the use of flexible modular functions and implementation using field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). Details of unit design and functionality will be discussed with particular detail given to subsystems having analog memory-based front end electronics. In addition, mode control, serial functions, and FPGA implementation details will be presented.

AB We report here an ultra low noise charge sensitive monolithic CMOS amplifier (CSA) suitable for small anode capacitance (200fF), low leakage current solid state detectors. The CSA is continuously sensitive, the charge from the input node being drained by a feedback transistor Mf biased as a resistor with effective values in the G Omega range. This very high value was achieved by a novel scheme which tracks threshold variations, and power supply and temperature fluctuations. A good linearity of the CSA conversion gain is achieved (<0.1% up to 1.8fC input charge) by inserting a voltage divider between the output of the CSA and the source of Mf.
The equivalent noise charge (ENC) of the CSA is equal to the theoretical lower limit imposed by the flicker noise. The circuit has been fabricated in two different CMOS technologies. With no detector connected, we measure a room-temperature ENC of 9 e(-) rms at 12 mu sec shaping time. When coupled to a cooled detector a FWHM of 111 eV is obtained at 2.4 mu sec shaping, corresponding to an ENC of 13e(-) rms.
This is the best reported energy resolution ever obtained with a CMOS preamplifier.

AB A variable gain amplifier (VGA) has been developed for equalizing the gains of integrating amplifier channels used with multiple photomultiplier tubes operating from common high-voltage supplies. The PHENIX lead-scintillator electromagnetic calorimeter will operate in that manner, and gain equalization is needed to preserve the dynamic range of the analog memory and ADC following the integrating amplifier. The VGA is also needed for matching energy channel gains prior to forming analog sums for trigger purposes. The gain of the VGA is variable over a 3:1 range using a 5-bit digital control, and the risetime is held between 15 and 23 ns using switched compensation in the VGA. An additional feature is gated baseline restoration. Details of the design and results from several prototype devices fabricated in 1.2-mu m Orbit CMOS are presented.

AB An R phi trigger was developed using the eight doublet layers of axial fibers in the new Central Fiber Tracker for the DO Upgrade Detector at Fermilab [1]. This trigger must be formed in less than 500 nsec and distributed to other parts of the detector for a level 1 trigger decision. The high speed is achieved by using massively parallel AND/OR logic realized in state-of-the-art field programmable gate arrays, FPGAs. The programmability of the FPGAs allows corrections to the track roads for the as-built detector and for dynamically changing the transverse momentum threshold. To reduce the number of fake tracks at high luminosity, the narrowest possible roads must be used which pushes the total number of roads into the thousands. Monte Carlo simulations of the track trigger were run to develop the trigger algorithms and a vendor specific commercially available simulator was used to develop and test the FPGA programming.

The front-ends and readout hardware are synchronized by means of timing signals broadcast from the DO Trigger Framework. The front-end electronics have continuously running digitizers and two levels of buffering resulting in nearly deadtimeless operation. The raw data is corrected and formatted by 16-bit fixed point DSP processors. These processors also perform control of the data buffering. The data transfer from the front-end electronics located on the detector platform is performed by serial links running at 160 Mbit/s.

Circuit topologies and ASIC layout specifics, including power consumption, maximum clock speed, INL, and DNL are discussed. The ADC performed to 11-bit accuracy.

AB We have designed a 16-channel preamplifier-shaper for particle tracking using silicon drift detectors (SDD). The preamplifier, which is optimized for a detector capacitance of 0.2 - 0.8 pF, uses two new circuit techniques to achieve a low noise (ENC 120 e(-) + 62 e(-)/pF), high linearity (< 0.5% to 50 fC), and good tolerance to process variations and temperature and power supply fluctuations. The circuit is continuously sensitive, has no digital signals on chip, and requires no external components or critical adjustments. The peaking time of the shaper is 50 nsec and the power dissipation, including an off-chip driver, is 6.5 mW/channel. The circuit is fabricated in 1.2 mu m CMOS and can accomodate detector leakage currents of up to 1.5 uA.
Although the circuit was developed for use with particle tracking detectors, these techniques are also well-suited for the design of lower-noise preamplifiers for high-resolution X-ray spectroscopy systems.

AB A current output multiplicity discriminator for use in the front-end electronics (FEE) of the Multiplicity Vertex Detector (MVD) for the PHENIX detector at RHIC has been fabricated in the a 1.2-mu m CMOS, n-well process. The discriminator is capable of triggering on input signals ranging from 0.25 MIP to 5 MIP. Frequency response of the discriminator is such that the circuit is capable of generating an output for every bunch crossing (105 ns) of the RHIC collider. Channel-to-channel threshold matching was adjustable to +/- 0.05 MIP. One channel of multiplicity discriminator occupied an area of 85 mu m x 630 mu m and consumed 515 mu W from a single 5-V supply. Details of the design and results from prototype device testing are presented.

AB We have developed low noise, high quantum efficiency photodiode arrays for use with positron-emission tomography (PET). A fabrication process developed for high-energy physics detectors was modified to allow for back-side illumination. A back-side contact consisting of a thin (10 nm) n(+) polysilicon layer covered by an indium tin oxide (ITO) antireflection coating (57 nm) results in > 70% quantum efficiency over the wavelength range of 400-1000 nm, The photodiodes are operated fully depleted (300 mu m thick) resulting in a measured capacitance of 3.2 pF and typical leakage currents of 20-50 pA for a 3 mm square element. At room temperature the noise measured at a shaping time of 4 mu s is 140 e(-) rms. When coupled to a CsI(TI) scintillator and excited with 141 keV gamma rays, the energy resolution is 12% fwhm.

The small amount of light from the fibers is detected by solid state devices (VLPC: Visible Light Photon Counters), with very high quantum efficiency. This paper reports about the construction of the tracker and gives the first results on the detector performance: light yield/mip, efficiency, signal homogeneity and time resolution.

AB We have used low-temperature photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy and room-temperature photoluminescence mapping as a measure of composition variation in cadmium zinc telluride grown by high-pressure Bridgman. We have correlated the uniformity, as measured by the line width of the bound exciton peak in the low-temperature spectrum and the degree of variation in the peak position in the room-temperature map, with the peak-to-valley ratio of the 59.5 keV photopeak in the pulse-height spectrum of Am-241. For detectors having active areas of 10-30 mm(2), the PL measurements can be combined with resistivity measurements to give a strong predictor of detector performance. For arrays of 1 mm diameter detectors, the correlation between these material parameters and detector performance is much weaker. Our measurements show that material parameters and detector performance can vary substantially between points on a 1 cm(2) sample.

ID X-RAY SPECTROMETRY; PERFORMANCE; XENON; FIELD
AB In the present work we revisit the simplifying assumptions of an earlier theoretical treatment on the effects of grid misalignment on the performance of a planar gas proportional scintillation counter (GPSC). We present new experimental and computational results to establish the dependence of the effects of misalignment in terms of the reduced electric field in the scintillation region, the finite size of the electron cloud, and the solid angle subtended by the photosensor. It is shown that solid angle effects will offset to some degree the effects of grid misalignment in an optimized detector. For the reduced fields normally used in the scintillation region of an optimized GPSC (5 V cm(-1)torr(-1)), misalignments as large as 3% have less than a 2% effect on pulse-amplitude variations. This effect is less than the statistical fluctuations in the number of primary electrons nominally produced in the absorption of x-rays in the 1- to 6-keV energy region. For reduced fields closer to the scintillation threshold (1 V cm(-1)torr(-1)), 15% variations in pulse amplitudes are possible, although it is unlikely that a GPSC would be operated under such unfavorable conditions.

AB The Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) [1] was recently signed by President Clinton and is intended to eliminate all nuclear weapons testing. One way in which the treaty seeks to accomplish this is by the establishment of The International Monitoring System. As stated in the latest Working Papers of the Draft CTBT, ''The International Monitoring System shall comprise facilities for seismological monitoring, radionuclide monitoring including certified laboratories, hydroacoustic monitoring, infrasound monitoring, and respective means of communication, and shall be supported by the International Data Centre of the Technical Secretariat''. Radionuclide monitoring consists of both radionuclides associated with particulates and relevant noble gases. This type of monitoring is quite valuable since indications of a nuclear test in the form of radioactive particulate or radioactive noble gases may be detected at great distances from the detonation site. The system presented here is concerned only with radioactive particulate monitoring and is described as an automated sampler/analyzer which has been developed for the Department of Energy (DOE) at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL).

AB A wide field-of-view, arcsecond imaging, high energy resolution x-ray and low energy gamma ray detector is proposed for a future space mission. It is specifically designed to detect and find counterparts at other wavelengths for Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs). Detection of GRBs requires wide field-of-view (pi to 2 pi field-of-view) and high sensitivity. This will be achieved by using high quantum efficiency CdZnTe pixel detectors with a low energy threshold (few keV) to observe the larger flux levels at lower energies, and large effective area (625 to 1,000 cm(2)) per coded aperture imaging module. Counterpart searches can only be done with ultra high angular resolution detectors (10 to 30 arcsecond FWHM) which gives 1 to 5 arcsecond position determination especially for strong GRBs. A few arcsecond size error box is expected to contain at most one object observed at another wavelength. This will be achieved by using ultra high spatial resolution pixel detectors (50 x 50 to 100 x 100 microns) and a similar resolution coded aperture to achieve the required angular resolution. AXGAM also has two other important advantages over similar detectors: (1) excellent low energy response (> 1 keV) and (2) high energy resolution (<6% at 5.9 keV, <3% at 14 keV, <4% at 122 keV). The low energy range may provide important new information on GRBs and the high energy resolution is expected to help in the observation and identification of emission and absorption lines in the GRB spectrum. The effective energy range is planned to be 2 to 200 keV which is exceptionally wide for such a detector.
AXGAM will be built in the form of a hemispherical array using a coded aperture mask in a hemispherical dome arrangement placed over a two-dimensional, high resolution CdZnTe pixel detector array using newly developed p-i-n detector technology. The p-i-n structure decreases the electron and hole trapping effect and increases energy resolution significantly.
The major scientific goals of the proposed mission in addition to continuously monitoring gamma-ray bursts, is to observe AGNs, transient phenomena, isolated and binary pulsars, and solar flares. A space deployed AXGAM detector is expected to observe few hundred gamma ray bursts per year.

AB During the past year, the SLD collaboration completed the construction and began the operation of a new vertex detector (VXD3) employing 307 million pixels. This detector, based on 96 CCDs of 13 cm(2) area each, is an upgrade of the original vertex detector of SLD (VXD2), made possible by advances in the technology of CCD detectors. Its improved impact parameter resolution, larger solid angle coverage and virtually error0free track linking will enhance the SLD measurement of the polarization-enhanced forward-backward asymmetry for band c- quarks, increase the precision of the measurement of the b-fraction in hadronic Z decays, and open the possibility to observe B-5(0)-mixing. Full separation of primary, secondary and tertiary vertices is accessible. A description of the mechanics and electronics of VXD3 are presented along with results from the first data.

AB A system test of various components of the Solenoidal Tracker at RHIC (STAR) detector, operating in concert, has recently come on-line. Communication between a major sub-detector, a sector of the Time Projection Chamber (TPC), and the trigger, data acquisition and slow controls systems has been established, enabling data from cosmic ray muons to be collected. First results from an analysis of the TPC data are presented. These include measurements of system noise, electronic parameters such as amplifier gains and pedestal values, and tracking resolution for cosmic ray muons and laser induced ionization tracks. A discussion on the experience gained in integrating the different components for the system test is also given.

AB A 45x45 mm rectangular n-type Silicon Drift Detector was studied in magnetic fields ranging from 0 to 4.7 T and for drift fields from 200 to 380 V/cm. Transport properties of electrons in silicon (Hall mobility, drift mobility and magnetoresistance) were determined by pulsing the detector with a Nd:Yag laser at different drift lengths and measuring both the transverse deflections of the signal and the increases in drift time versus an applied magnetic field. The width of the signal in both the drift and anode direction increased with magnetic field. The magnetic field was aligned parallel and normal to the the drift direction. The detector was found to operate well for conditions expected in future experiments at the RHIC collider and experiment E896 at Brookhaven National Laboratory.

AB A description is given of the principle and experimental verification of a new method which significantly reduces broadening of the position response, due to parallax, for radiation incident on a detector at finite angles of incidence. The technique, which can be implemented in gas-based position-sensitive detectors with planar geometry, substantially improves position resolution for scattering experiments using X-rays and neutrons, and will permit larger angular coverage than has previously been possible. An improvement of nearly a factor four in rms position resolution is predicted, which is confirmed by measurements using a gas proportional X-ray detector with delay-line position encoding.

ID SEMICONDUCTOR-DETECTORS
AB The coplanar-grid charge sensing technique provides a method for improving the spectral response of gamma-ray detectors based on compound semiconductors, which typically have poor charge transport properties. The technique functions by effectively modifying the charge induction characteristics of the detector such that the dependence of detector signal on the depth of radiation interaction is minimized. The effectiveness of this technique however can be compromised by non-uniform charge induction characteristics across the detector. This paper examines such non-uniformity due to fringe effects near the detector edges. Alternate electrode configurations are studied that provide effective compensation for such effects. Results from experimental measurements and computer simulations are presented.

One of the 12 cm modules was irradiated with protons to a fluence of 1.2 x 10(14) p/cm(2), and a beam test was carried out for the non-irradiated and the irradiated detector modules. Efficiency and noise occupancy were analyzed using the beam test data. High efficiency was obtained for both detectors in the bias voltages down to about half the full depletion voltage. The noise occupancy was <2 x 10(-4) for the 12 cm strips. The measurement of the edge region exhibited a difference in the sensitivity under the bias resistance where no extension of the n(+)-implant was fabricated: the non-irradiated detector showed sensitivity while the irradiated detector did not. The result was confirmed with a laser.

AB Control software for an automated particulate air sampler is described. The software is divided into a number of small, cooperating server processes each of which is responsible for the control of a particular device or subsystem. For each process an effort was made to isolate the details of the underlying device or subsystem from the server interface. This makes it possible to change the hardware without making changes to any of the server's client processes.
A single supervisor process is responsible for overall system control. Design of the control algorithm was facilitated by employing a state machine model. Such a model is easy to study, easy to modify and provides a clear understanding of the control mechanism to programmers and non-programmers alike. A state machine library was developed which greatly eased the task of implementing the design and ensured that the control algorithm detailed by the state machine model was the same algorithm actually employed.

AB The inherent properties of diamond make it an ideal material for detectors in the high rate, high radiation environments near the collision point of future colliders such as the LHC. We have constructed charged particle position sensitive detectors using high quality Chemical Vapor Deposited (CVD) diamond. Using detectors with a 50 mu m strip pitch, we achieved a most probable signal-to-noise ratio of 27/1 and a position resolution of 12-15 mu m. To ascertain the radiation hardness properties of CVD diamond, we have exposed detectors to 10 MRad Co-60, 5 X 10(14) 300 MeV pions/cm(2), 10(14) 500 MeV protons/cm(2), and 10(15) neutrons/cm(2). The results show that CVD diamond is an extremely radiation hard material and well suited for particle detector production.

ID REVERSE
AB Transformation of radiation induced, carbon related defects in high resistivity silicon detectors under multistep irradiation and annealing has been investigated in connection with the problem of reverse annealing of the effective space charge concentration, N-eff, in the space charge region of irradiated detectors. Kinetic behavior of these defects as possible candidates which affect N-eff has been studied using C-DLTS (capacitance deep level transient spectroscopy) technique after room temperature and elevated temperature annealing. Defect transformation has been identified in the form the decay of radiation induced interstitial carbon, which follows the equation of a first order reaction, and the simultaneous generation of C-i-O-i and C-i-C-s complexes.
It has been shown that the concentration of the C-i-O-i complex increased at RT (room temperature, 22 degrees C) annealing and obeyed the second order reaction. Successive steps of irradiation and annealing were performed, which stimulated excessive concentration of the C-i-O-i complex; generated additional centers in silicon increased oxygen content from heat treatment applied in the detector manufacturing. The results imply that the instability in the defect assembly in irradiated silicon can arise from the complexes including impurities of carbon and oxygen.

ID CHARGES N-EFF; SPECTROSCOPY
AB Displacement damage (or bulk damage) induced by high dose (>200 Mrad) gamma-radiation in high resistivity (6-10 k Omega-cm) silicon detectors has been studied. It has been found that detector bulk leakage current increases with gamma dose at a rate of 3.3x10(-7) A/cm(3)/Mrad. This damage rate of bulk leakage current originates from the introduction of generation centers and at a dose of 210 Mrad of gamma-radiation is comparable to that induced by 1x10(12) n/cm(2) of neutron radiation. Nearly 100% donor removal and/or compensation was found in detectors irradiated to 215 Mrad. Space charge sign inversion (SCSI) was observed in detectors irradiated to greater than or equal to 215 Mrad using transient current technique (TCT). As many as six deep levels have been observed by current deep level transient spectroscopy (I-DLTS). There was insignificant annealing and no reverse annealing even after elevated temperature treatment for detectors irradiated to 215 Mrad. A small amount of reverse annealing (10 to 15%) has been observed during the room temperature storage period of about 11 months for detectors irradiated to 500 Mrad.

ID GERMANIUM
AB Four CdZnTe detectors were irradiated with 199 MeV protons to simulate the damaging radiation in space. The gamma-ray spectra of Am-241 and Co-57 as well as the detector leakage currents were monitored at room temperature to assess the effects of radiation damage. Surprisingly, after a fluence of a few x 10(8) p/cm(2) gamma-ray peak shifts and resolution degradation became visible. After a fluence of 5x10(9) p/cm(2) the degradation was quite dramatic. An analysis of these effects dearly demonstrates that radiation damage causes electron trapping in CdZnTe detectors. No increase in leakage current or electronic noise was observed. Radiation damage effects in CdZnTe and germanium detectors are compared. CdZnTe detectors are similar to 250 times more sensitive to radiation damage than germanium detectors per unit charge-drift distance.

AB A comparative study of four different metal deposition methods on detector grade Cd1-xZnxTe crystal has been done using current-voltage (I-V) characterization and Ba-133 gamma spectroscopy. Electroless Au contact and thermal evaporated Au contact have been found to yield a smaller leakage current and a more linear/symmetric I-V curve than that of sputtered Pt and Au contact. An optimum detector performance can be achieved by combining the thermal evaporated Au deposition method with a chemical surface treatment consisting of 5%Br-MeOH followed by 2% Br-20% lactic acid in ethylene glycol. Low temperature photoluminescence spectra of Cd1-xZnxTe samples corresponding to these different metallization schemes are also presented and discussed.

AB Results on the characterization of the electrical properties of amorphous silicon films for the three different growth methods, RF sputtering, PECVD, and LPCVD are reported. The performance of these a-Si films as heterojunctions on high resistivity p-type and n-type crystalline silicon is examined by measuring the noise, leakage current and the alpha particle response of 5 mm diameter detector structures. It is demonstrated that heterojunction detectors formed by RF sputtered films and PECVD films are comparable in performance with conventional surface barrier detectors. The results indicate that the a-Si/c-Si heterojunctions have the potential to greatly simplify detector fabrication. Directions for future avenues of nuclear particle detector development are indicated.

AB We report a conceptual design of a novel bench-top device for producing intense, fast pulses of x-rays with 10 ps fwhm (full-width at half-maximum) x-ray pulse width, 120 keV maximum energy, 100 kHz repetition rate, and 1 A peak current onto the x-ray anode. The device includes three sections: (1) an electron gun that generates 5 ns wide pulses of electrons; (2) solenoidal magnetic lenses and rectangular deflection plates that focus the electrons onto an aperture plate and sweep the pulsed beam past the slit aperture, respectively; and (3) a tungsten anode onto which the post-aperture electrons are focused, producing x-ray pulses. Solenoidal magnetic lenses with a current density of 150 A.turns/cm(2) focus the 120 keV electron beam to a spot diameter of 0.32 mm such that a deflection plate dV/dt of 10(13) V/s (achieved with power triode circuitry) will yield x-ray pulse widths of about 10 ps. We used EGUN, an electron optics and gun design program, to simulate the electron trajectories throughout the instrument.

This array will consist of a spherical shell of highly segmented Ge detectors. By obtaining the energy and position of each interaction point, high efficiency and peak-to-total ratios can be obtained as compared with existing arrays. Here we discuss the computer algorithms that are needed to process the raw data and maximize the performance of the array. The results of these algorithms on Monte Carlo simulated data are presented.

AB We describe the structure and avalanche gain of gaseous pixel detectors. Each anode is a square 20 mu m x 20 mu m in size connected to an individual pad through a plated center section. The cathodes are plated squares interconnected to a common lead. The anode squares have a pitch of 200 mu m in both x- and y- directions. The anodes and cathodes are aluminum layers deposited on amorphous silicon alloyed with carbon (a-Si:C:H) to produce a bulk resistivity of similar to 10(13) Omega cm. Measurements on signals from a group of anodes shows an avalanche gas gain close to 10(4) at a cathode-anode potential of 640 volts using a gas mixture of 50/50 argon-ethane. The avalanche gain is about a factor of 3 higher than that of microstrip devices we have tested, having the same pitch.
For our initial measurements, 16 anodes were connected together to a charge sensitive preamplifier. In a final chamber each anode would be connected to an a-Si:H p-i-n readout diode with signals read out sequentially as in flat screen devices.

AB In a previous paper [1], it was shown that, for shaping times of the order of the transmission line delay, a remote, external preamplifier could perform as well as one connected directly to a liquid argon calorimeter. Here we describe an improved circuit configuration where, by attributing the functions of low noise and high dynamic range to two different transistors, the linearity can be improved and the noise can be decreased while reducing the power dissipation by a factor of three (to about 50 mW). The gain (i.e., the transresistance) and the input impedance can be chosen independently without changing the power supply voltages and power dissipation.

AB Many remote sensor applications require the deployment of automated data acquisition systems. These systems must provide a reliable and robust method of transferring acquired data to an appropriate data center. Remote users also require a means to verify the state-of-health of the sensors and a method of installing improved control software as needed. Research at PNNL on automated radionuclide systems for the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty has developed a robust and automated method of data transmission. User interfaces for these systems allow one to use simple text-based communications protocols (kermit, telnet), or the X Windows environment. The use of Tcl/Tk aided in the rapid development of the X Windows user interfaces.

AB This paper describes the design and procurement of a Class 1E DC power supply system to upgrade plant safety at the Kola Nuclear Power Plant (NPP). Kola NPP is located above the Arctic circle at Polyarnie Zorie, Murmansk, Russia. Kola NPP consists of four units. Units 1 and 2 have VVER-440/230 type reactors: Units 3 and 4 have VVER-440/213 type reactors. The VVER-440 reactor design is similar to the pressurized water reactor design used in the US. This project provided redundant, Class 1E DC station batteries and DC switchboards for Kola NPP, Units 1 and 2.
The new DC power supply system was designed and procured in compliance with current nuclear design practices and requirements. Technical issues that needed to be addressed included reconciling the requirements in both US and Russian codes and satisfying the requirements of the Russian nuclear regulatory authority. Close interface with ATOMENERGOPROEKT (AEP), the Russian design organization, KOLA NPP plant personnel, and GOSATMNADZOR (GAN), the Russian version of US Nuclear Regulatory Commission, was necessary to develop a design that would assure compliance with current Russian design requirements. Hence, this project was expected to serve as an example for plant upgrades at other similar VVER-440 nuclear plants.
In addition to technical issues, the project needed to address language barriers and the logistics of shipping equipment to a remote section of the Former Soviet Union (FSU).
This project was executed by Burns and Roe under the sponsorship of the US DOE as part of the International Safety Program (INSP). The INSP is a comprehensive effort, in cooperation with partners in other countries, to improve nuclear safety worldwide.. A major element within the INSP is the improvement of the safety of Soviet-designed nuclear reactors.

AB In order to achieve high sensitivity and maintain good uniform spatial resolution over the field of view in high resolution PET systems, adequate depth of interaction information must be extracted from the crystal. A phoswich detector can supply one solution to the depth of interaction problem. In this approach,two or more scintillators exhibiting different light decay times are positioned on top of each other and separated by pulse shape discrimination. Initially, our experiments focused on separating different types of scintillators such as LSO and GSO or LSO and YSO. These combinations were all well separated as expected. During the investigation, a shift in the time distribution of different samples of LSO was noticed. Further investigation showed two groups of LSO. The shift in the zero cross time was more than twice the FWHM of the time distribution. A single photon experiment revealed that the decay time of the 'fast' crystal was 33.4 nanoseconds while the decay of the 'slow' crystal was 42.2 nanoseconds. A spectral plot revealed that the spectral output of the 'slow' crystal was skewed to the longer wavelengths as compared to the 'fast' crystal. Further investigation on other crystal samples revealed decay times between the two extremes, suggesting a continuum in the light decay.

AB We present performance results for a prototype PET detector module consisting of 64 LSO scintillator crystals (3x3x20 mm) coupled on one end to a single photomultiplier tube and on the opposite end to a 64 pixel array of 3 mm square silicon photodiodes (typical pixel parameters are 5 pF capacitance, 300 pA dark current, and 73% quantum efficiency at 415 nm). The photomultiplier tube (PMT) provides an accurate timing pulse and energy threshold for all crystals in the module, the silicon photodiodes (PD) identify the crystal of interaction, the sum (PD+PMT) provides a total energy signal, and the PD/(PD+PMT) ratio determines the depth of interaction. With 32 of the channels instrumented, the detector module correctly identifies the crystal of interaction (where ''correct'' includes the adjacent 4 crystals) 79+/-4% of the time with high detection efficiency. The timing resolution for a single LSO detector module is 750 ps fwhm, while its pulse height resolution at 511 keV is 24+/-3% fwhm. The depth of interaction (DOI) measurement resolution is 8+/-1 mm fwhm.

AB Dynamic cardiac SPECT is used to estimate kinetic rate parameters that describe the washin and washout of tracer activity between the blood and the myocardial tissue. These kinetic parameters correlate to myocardial perfusion. There are, however, many physical aspects associated with dynamic SPECT which introduce bias and variance into the estimates. This paper describes a study which investigates the effect of heart motion on kinetic parameter estimates. Dynamic SPECT simulations are performed using a beating version of the MCAT phantom. The amount of blood and background activity in the myocardial tissue regions of interest is shown to vary over the cardiac cycle causing errors in the kinetic parameter estimates, particularly estimates of the washin rate constant. The effect of cardiac motion on kinetic parameter estimates is reduced by bias and variance introduced by photon noise and geometric collimator response. This suggests that techniques used to correct for motion must do so without further reducing photon statistics.

Under some smoothness conditions on the probability measure functions, simple algorithms to solve some PAC learning problems are proposed based on networks of nonpolynomial units (e.g. artificial neural networks). Conditions on the sizes of the samples required to ensure the error bounds are derived using martingale inequalities.

AB We have investigated the inhibitory effect of K-crown (18-crown-6 potassium picrate) on photosystem II (PSII)-enriched membrane fragments and O-2-evolving core complexes. K-crown at 2-4 mu M inhibits about half the control level of O-2-evolution activity in both types of PSII samples. Oxygen evolution studies demonstrated that the ether works by inactivating the centres and not by interfering with antenna function or energy transfer to the reaction centre. K-crown does not disrupt binding of the extrinsic proteins associated with O, evolution nor complex with bound Ca2+ or Cl- cofactors, but rather it directly inhibits electron transfer after the tetrameric Mn cluster. Fluorescence studies on active and Tris-treated samples showed that K-crown does not prevent artificial donors from transferring electrons to PSII but like DCMU inhibits on the acceptor side after Q(A), the primary quinone acceptor. However, the ether is a leaky inhibitor and may also act as a weak donor when the Mn cluster is not present. Oxygen-production experiments using silicomolybdate as an artificial acceptor (which accepts from both pheophytin and Q(B) in PSII membranes) demonstrated that the inhibition is at or near the DCMU site.

AB Cobalt oxides supported on several types of carriers (silica, molecular sieves 5A and 13X, and gamma-Al2O3) were evaluated for the reduction of sulfur dioxide by methane to elemental sulfur. Results showed that gamma-Al2O3 is the most effective carrier and that, with a molar ratio of 2 to 1 of sulfur dioxide to methane in a feed gas, the sulfur yield reached a maximum value of 87.5% at a space velocity of 5000 h(-1) and a temperature of 840 degrees C. X-ray diffraction results revealed that mixtures of cobalt oxide and cobalt sulfide components were observed. The effects of temperature, space velocity, and molar ratio of sulfur dioxide to methane in the feed on the activity of the cobalt catalyst supported on gamma-Al2O3 were investigated. The effect of feed gas containing a hydrogen sulfide contaminant was also studied. A catalyst size-dependence study was performed to determine the influence of the internal diffusion.

AB An equilibrium multicomponent ion exchange model is presented for the ion exchange of group I metals by TAM-5, a hydrous crystalline silicotitanate. On the basis of the data from ion exchange and structure studies, the solid phase is represented as Na3X instead of the usual form of NaX. By using this solid phase representation, the solid can be considered as an ideal phase. A set of model ion exchange reactions is proposed for ion exchange between H+, Na+, K+, Rb+, and Cs+. The equilibrium constants for these reactions were estimated from experiments with simple ion exchange systems. Bromley's model for activity coefficients of electrolytic solutions was used to account for liquid phase nonideality. Bromley's model parameters for CsOH at high ionic strength and for NO2- and Al(OH)(4)(-) were estimated in order to apply the model for complex waste simulants. The equilibrium compositions and distribution coefficients of counterions were calculated for complex simulants typical of DOE wastes by solving the equilibrium equations for the model reactions and material balance equations. The predictions match the experimental results within 10% for all of these solutions.

Decomposition of this compound in CH2Cl2 solution follows first-order kinetics (k = 3.6(2) X 10(-4) s(-1) at 25 degrees C) and produces free PhCHO and Cp(CO)(3)WOTf. The eta(1)-CH3CHO complex [Cp(CO)(3)W(eta(1)-CH3CHO)]+OTf- was similarly prepared from the reaction of acetyl chloride with Cp(CO),WH and HOTf. Hydrogenation of alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes by Cp(CO)(3)WH and HOTf produces [Cp(CO)(3)W(eta 1-RCHO)]+OTf- complexes that were isolated and fully characterized; analogous reactions with alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones gives [Cp(CO)(3)W(eta(1)-O = CRR')]+OTf- complexes. All of these aldehyde and ketone complexes with OTf- release free aldehyde or ketone in solution and produce Cp(CO)(3) WOTf, but[Cp(CO)(3)W(eta(1)-2-butanone)]+BAr'(-)(4) (Ar'=3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl) is much more stable.

Both cations contain the two planar [Pt(C6X5)(PMe3)(2)] moieties bridged by a hydride ligand, the Pt-Pt bonds being 3.0641(7) and 3.0969(9) Angstrom for X=H and 3.009(1) Angstrom for X=F. Inelastic incoherent neutron scattering studies were carried out on [(PMe3)(2)(C6F5)Pt(mu-H)Pt(C6F5) (PMe3)(2)](CF3SO3), [(PEt3)(2)(H)Pt(mu-H)Pt(Ph)(PEt3)(2)](CF3SO3) and [(PEt3)(2)(Ph)Pt(mu-H)Pt(Ph)(PEt3)(2)](CF3SO3), and vibrational data for the Pt-H-Pt fragments obtained. The values of the nu(asym)/nu(sym) ratios and a semi-empirical correlation were used to obtain approximate values of the Pt-H-Pt bond angles in compounds of this type.

AB The complexes M(PCy3)(2)(CO)(3) (M=Cr, Mo, W) react with phenyl disulfide to form stable 17-electron radical complexes M-.(PCy3)(2)(CO)(3)(SPh). Reaction with other alkyl and aryl disulfides also yields stable radicals and reaction with I-2 yields W-.(PiPr(3))(2)(CO)(3)(I). Reaction with thiols, hydrogen sulfide and hydrogen iodide yield the corresponding 18-electron hydrides W((PPr3)-Pr-i)(2)(CO)(3)(H)(X). The crystal structure of W((PPr3)-Pr-i)(2)(CO)(3)(H)(I) is reported and allows comparison with the structure of the radical complex W-.((PPr3)-Pr-i)2(CO)(3)(I). The W-H bond strengths in these heteroatom complexes are low, 55-57 kcal mol(-1). In spite of steric crowding, H atom transfer from W((PPr3)-Pr-i)(2)(CO)(3)(H)(SPh) to Cr-.(CO)(2)(PPh3)Cp occurs readily due to the stronger nature of the Cr-H bond formed. The chromium radical does not appear to attack the molecular hydrogen complex W(Pr-3)(2)(CO)(3)(H-2) or its dihydride form W(Pr-3)(2)(CO)(3)(H)(2) based on rate of hydrogenation studies. Phenyl disulfide does react with either W(Pr-3)(2)(CO)(3)(H-2) or its dihydride tautomer W(Pr-3)(2)(CO)(3)(H)(2) to form thiophenol and W(Pr-3)(2)(CO)(3)(SPh.). This reaction is proposed to proceed by reaction of (.)SPhradicals which are generated in situ. These studies are used to bracket the first W-H bond dissociation energy in W(Pr-3)(2)(CO)(3)(H)(2). Additional studies of H atom and heteoratom transfer are described.

AB The structure of the complex trans-[Ru(eta(2)-H-2)(H)(dppe)(2)][BPh4] (1), dppe=PPh2CH2CH2PPh2, has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction at 123 K and neutron diffraction at 12 K, The core of the complex has a distorted octahedral geometry about ruthenium with the dihydrogen ligand trans to hydride and eclipsing a trans-P-Ru-P asis that is bent away from the hydrogens with a P-Ru-P angle of 167.9(4)degrees. The crystallographically determined H-H distance is 0.83(8) (X-ray) or 0.82(3) (neutron) Angstrom. The latter value, when corrected for the shortening caused by the torsional libration of the H-2 ligand, increases to about 0.94 Angstrom. The long Ru-(H-2) distance of 1.81(2) Angstrom (neutron), compared to the terminal hydride to ruthenium distance of 1.64(2) Angstrom (neutron), is consistent with the lability of the dihydrogen ligand, which is partially lost from the crystal by treatment with vacuum. The analogous iron complex trans-[Fe(eta(2)-H-2)(H)(dppe)(2)][BPh4] (2) has similar features except that the Fe-H(H-2) distances are much shorter and the H-2 ligand is correspondingly less labile. An inelastic neutron scattering study of the powder of 1 at 5 K reveals two broad inelastic peaks flanking the elastic peak. With the assumption that the dihydrogen librates in a double-minimum potential, the barrier to dihydrogen reorientation is calculated to be 1.0 to 1.4 kcal mol(-1), depending upon which of the H-H distances is used, This barrier is less than that for the iron analog, determined for its BF4 salt, therefore suggesting that there may be less d(pi) --> sigma* backbonding in 1 than 2.

TI Mechanism reduction via principal component analysis
SO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL KINETICS

ID CHEMICAL-KINETICS; COMBUSTION; MODELS; DIFFUSION; FLAMES
AB Principal component analysis, an advanced technique of sensitivity analysis, has been used to determine reduced mechanisms that can model species and temperature profiles in Plug Flow Reactors (PFR), Premixed Laminar Flames (PLF), and Perfectly Stirred Reactors (PSR) for two H-2/air and two CH4/air mechanisms over a range of input parameters including initial temperature, equivalence ratio, and residence time. The results show that principal component analysis can be used effectively to reduce a comprehensive mechanism that contains unimportant reactions to a reduced mechanism that contains necessary and sufficient reactions. The accuracy of a reduced mechanism determined from principal component analysis can be easily controlled by carefully selecting reduction criteria. For the conditions chosen here, namely the requirement that radical profiles computed with reduced and comprehensive mechanisms agree to within 5%, substantial reductions were not achieved. Principal component analysis is able to resolve the influence of stoichiometry, combustor type, and mechanism on mechanism reduction.
The two H-2/air mechanisms were each reduced to mechanisms that can model ail the cases considered, and the extent of reduction in each was very similar and modest. For H-2/air chemistry, equivalence ratio had little effect on reduction. Combustor type was slightly more influential with the number of required reactions decreasing from PFR to PLF to PSR combustion. Relative to the H-2/air system, principal component analysis of the CH4/air system is more difficult because of mechanism size. For CH4/air combustion, if we consider all equivalence ratios, PLFs require the most reactions, if individual equivalence ratios are examined, PFRs require the greatest number of reactions. Combustor type influences mechanism reduction substantially because of the different couplings between the fluid mechanics and chemistry. In H-2/air combustion rich combustion required the fewest reactions and in CH4/air, it required the most. Reduction must be achieved by considering the entire mechanism since reactions interact in concert, for example, reactions unimportant in one CH, mechanism are often important in the other.

The result of the microsimulation is fed into a re-router, which re-routes a certain percentage of all trips. This approach makes the traffic patterns in the microsimulation much more reasonable. Further, it is shown that the method described in this paper can lead to strong oscillations in the solutions.

SO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SOLIDS AND STRUCTURES

DT Article
ID HIGH-ORDER THEORY; COMPOSITE; DEFORMATION; INTERFACE
AB An approximate analytical model for the behavior of a laminated composite plate in the presence of delaminations and other local effects is presented. The model is based on a generalized displacement formulation implemented at the layer level. The governing equations for a layer are obtained using the principle of virtual work. These governing equations for a layer are used in conjunction with the explicit satisfaction of both the interfacial traction continuity and the interfacial displacement jump conditions between layers to develop the governing equations for a laminated composite plate, including delaminations. The fundamental unknowns in the theory are the dis placements in the layers and the interfacial tractions. The theory is sufficiently general that any constitutive model for the interfacial fracture (i.e. delamination) as well as for the layer behavior can be incorporated in a consistent fashion into the theory. The interfacial displacement jumps are expressed in an internally consistent fashion in terms of the fundamental unknown interfacial tractions. The current theory imposes no restrictions on the size, location, distribution, or direction of growth of the delaminations. Therefore, the theory can predict the initiation and growth of delaminations al any location as well as interactive effects between delaminations at different locations within the laminate.
Pagano's exact solution for the cylindrical bending of a laminated plate has been modified to include the effects of delamination. An interface model, which expressed the displacement jump as a linear function of the surface tractions, was implemented into this modification of the exact solution. This extension was used to validate the approximate plate theory. The correlation between the approximate approach and the exact solution is seen to be excellent. The approximate plate theory is seen to give very accurate predictions for the interfacial tractions in a direct and consistent fashion, i.e. without the need to use integration of the pointwise equilibrium equations. This allows the interfacial displacement jumps in the presence of delaminations to be modeled accurately. It is seen that these displacement jumps have a significant effect on both the macroscopic and microscopic behavior of a laminated plate. (C) 1997 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.

AB MPICH is an implementation of the MPI specification for a standard message-passing library interface. This paper focuses on the lessons learned from preparing MP[CH for diverse parallel computing environments. These lessons include how to prepare software for configuration in unknown environments; how to structure software to absorb contributions by others; how to automate the preparation of man pages, Web pages, and other documentation; how to automate prerelease testing for both correctness and performance; and how to manage the inevitable problem reports with a minimum of resources for support.

AB The Globus system is intended to achieve a vertically integrated treatment of application, middleware, and network. A low-level toolkit provides basic mechanisms such as communication, authentication, network information, and data access. These mechanisms are used to construct various higher level metacomputing services, such as parallel programming tools and schedulers. The longterm goal is to build an adaptive wide area resource environment (AWARE), an integrated set of higher level services that enable applications to adapt to heterogeneous and dynamically changing metacomputing environments. Preliminary versions of Globus components were deployed successfully as part of the I-WAY networking experiment.

AB The relationship between the chlorophyll content of wheat flag leaves estimated by a chemical method in the laboratory and that obtained using a Minolta chlorophyll meter was evaluated. A statistically significant (r(2) 0.85, P < 0.001) linear relationship was found to exist between extractable chlorophyll and meter readings when chlorophyll content was expressed on a leaf area basis. A further improvement in the relationship was obtained when a quadratric function was fitted to the data (r(2) 0.88). The use of the quadratic equation for predicting chlorophyll concentrations from meter readings was validated using an independent data set. Predicted values of chlorophyll content on this data set were highly correlated (r(2) 0.91) with the measured chlorophyll concentrations. The results indicate that this rapid technique for chlorophyll determination can play a useful role in many areas of crop science especially where estimates of leaf senescence are required.

AB The structure of ferroelectric domain walls in BaTiO3 has been investigated through two complementary approaches, a global ope by the fine analysis of X-ray diffraction patterns, the other essentially local via a quantitative image analysis method developed and applied to High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy images. These two original approaches converge towards a clear description of 90 degrees walls which are shown to be a 4-6 nm wide region where the crystallographic discontinuity is accommodated by irregular atomic displacements. The results given here demonstrate that the usual structural theoretical description of walls commonly accepted for energy calculations are far too simplistic. The two underlying methodologies which have been developed to carry out these approaches can possibly be applied to other ferroelectrics, but without any doubt to other systems where twins or coherent interfaces are expected.

AB The design, development and performance of the time-of-flight (TOF) small-angle diffractometer (SAD) at the Intense Pulsed Neutron Source (IPNS) at Argonne National Laboratory are described. Similar TOE-SANS instruments are in operation at the pulsed neutron sources at Los Alamos National Laboratory, USA, at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, England, and at KEK, Japan. These instruments have an advantage by comparison with their steady-state counterparts in that a relatively wide range of momentum transfer (q) can be monitored in a single experiment without the need to alter the collimation or the sample-to-detector distance. This feature makes SANS experiments easy and very effective for studying systems such as those undergoing phase transitions under different conditions, samples that cannot be easily reproduced for repetitive experiments, and systems under high temperature, pressure or shear. Three standard samples are used to demonstrate that the quality of the SANS data from SAD is comparable with those from other established steady-state SANS facilities. Two examples are given to illustrate that the wide q region accessible in a single measurement at SAD is very effective for following the time-dependent phase transitions in paraffins and temperature- and pressure-dependent phase transitions in model biomembranes.

DIODE; COLLIMATOR; X8C
AB A compact incident-beam monitor has been developed for use in synchrotron protein crystallography at the National Synchrotron Light Source beamline X8C. Incident-beam intensity is monitored by measurement of the radiation scattered from a thin polymer film into a PIN diode. For improved statistical accuracy, the scattering film can be replaced by a thin metal foil. Fluorescent radiation emitted by the metal foil increases the beam-monitoring signal up to 50 times relative to that produced by scattering alone. With this design, the forward-scattered radiation is restricted to an area not larger than the beam stop, minimizing excessive background radiation. Support materials have been optimized so that no unwanted edge effects are present between 6 and 19.5 keV, making the detector useful for monitoring incident-beam intensities over the wide range of absorption edges often associated with multiwavelength anomalous diffraction (MAD) experiments. Accurate incident-beam monitoring also simplifies optimization of the X-ray beam through the diffractometer collimation after each new electron orbit is established in the synchrotron.

AB The ORNL Ultra-Small-Angle Neutron Scattering (USANS) facility at the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HIFR) has been recently upgraded, using the Bonse-Hart technique. Si(111) triple-bounce channel-cut single crystals have been used for both the monochromator and analyzer. The total width of the rocking curve of the analyzer is about 1.6 '' and the wavelength of the primary neutron beam is 2.59 Angstrom. It has been demonstrated that, owing to the low neutron absorption of silicon, the wings of the rocking curve are generally contaminated by neutrons propagating and diffracting inside the walls of channel-cut crystals. This parasitic intensity has been eliminated by the cutting of a groove in the long wall and the insertion of a cadmium absorber (0.6 mm thick). This modification effectively suppresses the wings of the rocking curve by over two orders of magnitude and thus dramatically improves the sensitivity of the diffractometer. The upgraded facility has been tested with several samples, including a polystyrene latex with a radius of 2.50 x 10(4) Angstrom as determined by optical microscopy. The average radius calculated from USANS data is 2.48 x 10(4) Angstrom in excellent agreement with independently determined dimensions. The minimum accessible scattering vector of the upgraded USANS facility is Q(min) similar or equal to 2 x 10(-5) Angstrom(-1), which corresponds to a maximum resolvable real-space dimension of 2 pi/Q(min) similar or equal to 3 x 10(5) Angstrom (30 mu m).

AB Single crystals of caesium titanyl arsenate (CTA, CsTiOAsO4), with space group Pna2(1) and isomorphous with potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP, KTiOPO4), have been studied using high-resolution synchrotron X-rays. During the experiments, an electric field was applied along the polar axis [001]. Single-crystal plates, between 300 and 450 mu m thick along [001], were polarized by a variable square wave of frequency 20 Hz alternately applied to each side of the plate. A field-induced splitting of the + / - peaks for reflections hkl with l not equal 0 was observed. This splitting provides information about the coercive field, polarizability and the piezoelectric strain tenser. Two of the piezoelectric coefficients of CTA could be estimated as d(31) similar or equal to 1 and d(33) similar or equal to 27 pm V-1. Whereas the coercive fields were estimated at 2300 Vmm(-1) the held necessary to reverse the domains just once in CTA was found to be either 560 or 1550 V mm(-1), depending on the polarity of the reversed domain in relation to the polarity of the nonswitched part of the crystal.

AB The DELTA-ADREA (discretization with elements of triangle approach-atmospheric dispersion of pollutants over irregular terrain) numerical prediction model, developed at the National Center for Scientific Research Demokritos, is specifically designed to perform wind field calculations over terrains of high complexity. The numerical model has the capability to handle air-ground interaction processes by describing the ground-surface details while keeping the computation time at a reasonable level. The numerical model is applied here to a high-resolution topographical representation of the region surrounding the Rocky Flats Facility in Colorado, based on a digitized map consisting of approximately 4.8 x 10(6) points. Wind field calculations over the region are made using the atmospheric experimental data of 4 February 1991, collected by the participants within the Atmospheric Studies in Complex Terrain research program. The numerical predictions indicate strong drainage flows created at different altitudes with interaction between them, resulting in a quite complicated mesoscale wind field during nighttime. Available observations support the predicted flow features.

DT Article
ID ACID DEPOSITION MODEL; PRECIPITATION CHEMISTRY; UNITED-STATES; H2O2
AB Precipitation and air concentration data collected during a U.S. Department of Energy-sponsored Frontal Boundary Study (FBS) were used to calculate scavenging ratios. The precipitation data were collected on a 100 km x 100 km surface grid containing 36 sampling sites, while the air concentration data were collected by aircraft. Radar and rawinsonde data were used to position the aircraft into the air moss feeding the precipitation. The coordination of the aircraft data with surface precipitation data allows the calculation of scavenging ratios. During the study, three out of seven events sampled allowed the calculation of scavenging ratios for SO4=, total sulfate, NO3-, and total nitrate. The 36 precipitation samplers allowed calculation of multiple scavenging ratios to represent an event. From these scavenging ratios, both a geometric mean and a geometric standard deviation of the scavenging ratio were calculated for each event. The geometric mean (geometric standard deviation) scavenging ratio for total sulfate is 6 x 10(4) (1.1) for 10 October 1989, 10 x 10(4) (1.5) for 16-17 October 1989, and 4 x 10(4) (1.3) for 31 October 1989. For SO4= the scavenging ratios are 10 x 10(5) (1.1) for 10 October 1989, 4 x 10(5) (1.5) for 16-17 October 1989, and 3 x 10(5) (1.3) for 31 October 1989. The scavenging ratio for NO2- is 3 x 10(6) (1.2) for 10 October 1989, 10 x 10(6) (1.4) for 16-17 October 1989, and 0.4 x 10(6) (1.5) for 31 October 1989. The scavenging ratio for total nitrate is 2 x 10(6) (1.2) for 10 October 1989, 2 x 10(6) (1.4) For 16-17 October 1989, and 0.2 x 10(6) (1.5) for 31 October 1989. The most important finding is the small variation of the numbers within the events as reflected in the geometric standard deviations. These values ranged from 1.1 to 1.5. Based on these results, a single scavenging ratio can be used on a 100 km x 100 km area with a minimum of error.
Two other results were found when comparing these scavenging ratios to total precipitation in the sampler. The comparison revealed that the variation in the scavenging ratio increased with decreasing total precipitation. The increase was up to a factor of 2 for less than 5 mm when compared with greater than 5 mm of total precipitation.

First, the filamentary character of the DBD is shown by measurement of the relative intensity of the transition OH(A(2) Sigma-->(XII)-I-2, 0-0) with integrated emission spectroscopy as a function of the absolute water concentration at different energy densities coupled into the gas. Then, the influence of UV illumination on the hydroxyl emission is shown by time-gated and time-resolved emission spectroscopy of OH(A(2) Sigma-->(XII)-I-2). The results of the combined process is an increased total emission but reduced emission for each microdischarge. This result corresponds to an increase in the number of microdischarges which is supported by the measurement of the microdischarge current. (C) 1997 American Institute of Physics.

AB Fabry-Perot laser interferometry was used to obtain nanosecond time resolved particle velocity histories of the free surfaces of tantalum discs accelerated by detonating pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN) charges and of the interfaces between PETN detonation products and lithium fluoride crystals. The experimental records were compared to particle velocity histories calculated using very finely zoned meshes of the exact dimensions with the DYNA2D hydrodynamic code. The duration of the PETN detonation reaction zone was demonstrated to be less than the 5 ns initial resolution of the Fabry-Perot technique, because the experimental records were accurately calculated using an instantaneous chemical reaction, the Chapman-Jouguet (C-J) model of detonation, and the reaction product Jones-Wilkins-Lee (JWL) equation of state for PETN detonation products previously determined by supracompression (overdriven detonation) studies. Some of the PETN charges were pressed to densities approaching the crystal density and exhibited the phenomenon of superdetonation. An ignition and growth Zeldovich-von Neumann-Doring (ZND) reactive flow model was developed to explain these experimental records and the results of previous PETN shock initiation experiments on single crystals of PETN. Good agreement was obtained for the induction time delays preceding chemical reaction, the run distances at which the initial shock waves were overtaken by the detonation waves in the compressed PETN, and the measured particle velocity histories produced by the overdriven detonation waves before they could relax to steady state C-J velocity and pressure.

AB Based on previously developed melt processing methods, Y2BaCuO5 (211) precipitates with various size were obtained in YBa2Cu3Ox (123). In particular. a wide distribution of 211 size from 100 Angstrom to 10 mu m has been found to exist in the matrix of 123, and strongly effected the critical current density, J(c). An enhancement of J(c) was always found to be associated with the presence of extremely fine 211 precipitates. The flux pinning by these precipitates can be understood by considering the interaction of Au: lines with cavities. It was found that although the flux Lines are strongly pinned by cavities, the effectiveness decreases with the increasing number of flux lines trapped by them.

AB A method to retrieve aerosol vertical optical depth at 0.64 mu m from satellite observations of cloud-free scenes over oceans with high spatial resolution (similar to 1 degrees) and instantaneous temporal resolution is described and evaluated. The observed radiance is treated as the linear sum of contributions to path radiance by different scattering processes in the atmosphere-ocean system. This treatment allows examination of errors in the retrieved vertical aerosol optical depth contributed by each process and approximation. Random error in retrieved aerosol optical depth is typically 0.03. The systematic error due to absolute calibration uncertainty in the measured radiance is 0.01. The largest errors and biases are due to radiative transfer approximations (+22%) and assumptions regarding aerosol microphysical and optical properties (-20%). The latter errors, which are due to the optical properties (e.g., phase function), vary systematically with latitude and season because of the variation of the mean observing geometry.
This method is applied to Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer global area coverage data, and example maps of aerosol optical depth are presented for specific dates in July and October 1986. The aerosol optical depth derived from the satellite data is suitable for examining large aerosol signatures by instantaneous comparison of the amplitude and location of aerosol plumes with model predictions based on meteorological conditions at and preceding the time of observation.

AB A single RNase H enzyme was detected in extracts of Streptococcus pneumoniae. The gene encoding this enzyme mas cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli, as demonstrated by its ability to complement a double-mutant rnhA recC strain, Sequence analysis of the cloned DNA revealed an open reading frame of 290 codons that encodes a polypeptide of 31.9 kDa. The predicted protein exhibits a low level of homology (19% identity of amino acid residues) to RNase HII encoded by rnhB of E. coli, Identification of the S. pneumoniae RNase HII translation start site by amino-terminal sequencing of the protein and of mRNA start sites by primer extension with reverse transcriptase showed that the major transcript encoding rnhB begins at the protein start site. Comparison of the S. pneumoniae and E. coli RNase HII sequences and sequences of other, putative bacterial rnhB gene products surmised from sequencing data revealed three conserved motifs. Use of these motifs to search for homologous genes in eucaryotes demonstrated the presence of rnhB genes in a yeast and a roundworm. Partial rnhB gene sequences were detected among expressed sequences of mouse and human cells. From these data, it appears that RNase HII is universally present in living cells.

AB While it is well established that classical hydrogen bonds play an important role in enzyme structure, function and dynamics, the role of weaker, but 'activated' C-H donor hydrogen bonds is poorly understood. The most important such case involves histidine which often plays a direct role in enzyme catalysis and possesses the most acidic C-H donor group of the standard amino acids. In the present study, we obtained optimized geometries and hydrogen bond interaction energies for C-H ... O hydrogen bonded complexes between methane, ethyl ene, benzene, acetylene, and imidazole with water at the MP2-FC/6-31++G(2d,2p) and MP2-FC/aug-cc-pVDZ//MP2-FC/6-31++G(2d,2p) levels of theory. A strong linear relationship is obtained between the stability of the various hydrogen bonded complexes and both separation distances for H ... O and C----O. In general, these calculations indicate that CH ... O interactions can be classified as hydrogen bonding interactions, albeit significantly weaker than the classical hydrogen bonds, but significantly stronger than just van der Waals interactions. For instance, while the electronic energy of stabilization at the MP2-FC/aug-cc-pVDZ//MP2-FC/6-31++G(2d,2p) level of theory of a water O-H ... O water hydrogen bond is 4.36 kcal/mol more stable than the methane C-H ... O water interaction, the water-water hydrogen bond is only 2.06 kcal/mol more stable than the imidazole C-e-H ... O water hydrogen bond. Neglecting this latter hydrogen bonding interaction is obviously unacceptable. We next compare the potential energy surfaces for the imidazole C-e-H ... O water and imidazole N-d-H ... O hydrogen bonded complexes computed at the MP2/6-31++G(2d,2p) level of theory with the potential energy surface computed using the AMBER molecular mechanics program and forcefields. While the Weiner et al and Cornell et al AMBER forcefields reasonably account for the imidazole N-H ... O water interaction, these forcefields do not adequately account for the imidazole C-e-H ... O water hydrogen bond. A forcefield modification is offered that results in excellent agreement between the ab initio and molecular mechanics geometry and energy for this C-H ... O hydrogen bonded complex.

AB A peptide corresponding to residues 101-141 of the human nucleotide excision repair protein XPA was synthesized with an isoleucine substituted for L138 and its solution structure studied by circular dichroism and homonuclear H-1 NMR spectroscopy. The peptide, (XPA-41), contains a C-4-type zinc-binding motif, C105-(X)(2)-C108-(X)(17)-C126-(X)(2)-C129, which XPA requires for damaged-DNA binding activity. The proton resonances of XPA-41 without zinc (apoXPA-41) were assigned using homonuclear TOCSY, NOESY and DQF-COSY data and show the ape-zinc peptide is a random coil. The peptide was folded with the addition of 1.2 equivalents of ZnCl2 in dilute solution at pH 4.0. Electrospray ionization mass spectroscopy illustrated an increase in the molecular weight of XPA-41 by 65 amu. Circular dichroism spectra of the zinc-folded peptide (zXPA-41) showed the acquisition of elements of secondary structure. Such a conclusion was confirmed with H-1 NMR data collected at 25 degrees C, pH 6.3. H-alpha-secondary shifts and NOE patterns indicate that regions V102-C105 and G109-F112 form an anti-parallel beta-sheet and residues N128-K137 form a nascent alpha-helix. Rapid exchange of most amide resonances between S115-C126 prohibited unambiguous assignment of all the proton resonances in this region. However, a 1.19 ppm downfield shift of the H-alpha resonance of T125 relative to the ape-zinc peptide, together with downfield shifted H-alpha resonances for the adjacent residues (P124 and L123), suggest a second beta-sheet is present in the S115-C126 region. On the basis of structural similarities to GATA-1 (Science 261:438-446), a homology generated structure for zXPA-41 was made, using GATA-1 as the template, which satisfied all the observed NOEs. Using the hybrid homology-NMR based zXPA-41 structure and analogy to GATA-1, models for the role played by the zinc-binding core (101-141) of XPA in DNA damage recognition are proposed.

AB The convergence of the MP2 valence correlation energy and pair energies for the correlation consistent basis sets has been investigated. Ne, HF, H2O, and N-2 were studied. For all of these molecules, accurate MP2 correlation and pair energies are available from the recent MP2-R12. calculations of W. Klopper [J. Chem. Phys. 102, 6168 (1995)]. The magnitudes of the calculated MP2 valence correlation and pair energies are found to increase systematically with increasing basis set size, with the cc-pV6Z basis set yielding 97.4%-98.3% of the MP2 valence correlation energy. A detailed analysis of the results for Ne reveals that the error due to truncation of the radial functions in the cc-pV6Z set is comparable to that due to neglect of higher angular momentum functions. Procedures for extrapolating the results to the complete basis set limit have also been investigated. (C) 1997 American Institute of Physics.

AB Potential energy and dipole moment surfaces for the water molecule have been generated by multireference singles-and-doubles configuration interaction calculations using a large basis set of the averaged-atomic-natural-orbital type and a six-orbital-six-electron complete-active-space reference space. The surfaces are suitable for modeling vibrational transitions up to about 11000 cm(-1) above the ground state. A truncated singular-value decomposition method has been used to fit the surfaces. This fitting method is numerically stable and is a useful tool for examining the effectiveness of various fitting function forms in reproducing the calculated surface points and in extrapolating beyond these points. The fitted surfaces have been used for variational calculations of the 30 lowest band origins and the corresponding band intensities for transitions from the ground vibrational state. With a few exceptions, the results compare well with other calculations and with experimental data. (C) 1997 American Institute of Physics.

AB In the Project for Intercomparison of Land-Surface Parameterization Schemes phase 2a experiment, meteorological data for the year 1987 from Cabauw, the Netherlands, were used as inputs to 23 land-surface flux schemes designed for use in climate and weather models. Schemes were evaluated by comparing their outputs with long-term measurements of surface sensible heat fluxes into the atmosphere and the ground, and of upward longwave radiation and total net radiative fluxes, and also comparing them with latent heat fluxes derived from a surface energy balance. Tuning of schemes by use of the observed flux data was not permitted. On an annual basis, the predicted surface radiative temperature exhibits a range of 2 K across schemes, consistent with the range of about 10 W m(-2) in predicted surface net radiation. Most modeled values of monthly net radiation differ from the observations by less than the estimated maximum monthly observational error (+/-10 W m(-2)). However, modeled radiative surface temperature appears to have a systematic positive bias in most schemes; this might be explained by an error in assumed emissivity and by models' neglect of canopy thermal heterogeneity. Annual means of sensible and latent heat fluxes, into which net radiation is partitioned, have ranges across schemes of 30 W m(-2) and 25 W m(-2), respectively. Annual totals of evapotranspiration and runoff, into which the precipitation is partitioned, both have ranges of 315 mm. These ranges in annual heat and water fluxes were approximately halved upon exclusion of the three schemes that have no stomatal resistance under non-water-stressed conditions. Many schemes tend to underestimate latent heat flux and overestimate sensible heat flux in summer, with a reverse tendency in winter. For six schemes, root-mean-square deviations of predictions from monthly observations are less than the estimated upper bounds on observation errors (5 W m(-2) for sensible heat flux and 10 W m(-2) for latent heat flux). Actual runoff at the site is believed to be dominated by vertical drainage to groundwater, but several schemes produced significant amounts of runoff as overland flow or interflow. There is a range across schemes of 184 mm (40% of total pore volume) in the simulated annual mean root-zone soil moisture. Unfortunately, no measurements of soil moisture were available for model evaluation. A theoretical analysis suggested that differences in boundary conditions used in various schemes are not sufficient to explain the large variance in soil moisture. However, many of the extreme values of soil moisture could be explained in terms of the particulars of experimental setup or excessive evapotranspiration.

AB Inteins, introns spliced at the protein level, and the hedgehog family of proteins involved in eucaryotic development both undergo autocatalytic proteolysis. Here, a specific and sensitive hidden Markov model (HMM) of a protein splicing domain shared by inteins and the hedgehog proteins has been trained and employed for further analysis. The HMM characterizes the common features of this domain including the position where a site-specific DNA endonuclease domain is inserted in the majority of the inteins, The HMM was used to identify several new putative inteins, such as that in the Methanococcus jannaschii klbA protein, and to generate a multiple sequence alignment of sequences possessing this domain, Phylogenetic analysis suggests that hedgehog proteins evolved from inteins, Secondary and tertiary structure predictions suggest that the domain has a structure similar to a beta-sandwich, Similarities between the serine protease cleavage mechanism and the protein splicing reaction mechanism are discussed, Examination of the locations of inteins indicates that they are not inserted randomly in an extein, but are often inserted at functionally important positions in the host proteins, A specific and sensitive HMM for a domain present in klbA proteins identified several additional bacterial and archaeal family members, and analysis of the site of insertion of the intein suggests residues that may be functionally important, This domain may play a role in formation of surface-associated protein complexes.

AB The very large kinetic and thermodynamic barriers present in the GaN system make it ideally suited for studying the fundamental mechanisms involved in synthesizing meta-stable solids. In this paper, the critical factors necessary for the successful growth of GaN thin films under meta-stable conditions are outlined. Experimental results of GaN synthesis by plasma-enhanced Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) are used to illustrate the key steps in the process and to demonstrate the validity of the approach. The issues involved in improving the quality of thin films using meta-stable growth methods are explicitly outlined in order that the method can be successfully applied to other epitaxial systems.

AB Ion implantation is a flexible process technology fbr introducing an array of doping or compensating impurities into semiconductors. As the crystal quality of the group III-nitride materials continues to improve, ion implantation is playing an enabling role in exploring new dopant species and device structures. In this paper we review the recent developments in ion implantation processing of these materials with a particular emphasis on how this technology has brought new understanding to this materials system. In particular, the use of ion implantation to characterize impurity luminescence, doping, and compensation in III-nitride materials is reviewed. In addition, we address the nature of implantation induced damage in GaN which demonstrates a very strong resistance to amorphization while at the same time forming damage that is not easily removed by thermal annealing. Finally, we review the coupling of implantation with high temperature rapid thermal annealing to better understand the thermal stability of these materials and the redistribution properties of the common dopant (Si, O, Be, Mg, Ca, and Zn).

AB 1 Soil moisture in semiarid woodlands varies both vertically with depth and horizontally between canopy patches beneath woody plants and the intercanopy patches that separate them, such that shallow soil layers in intercanopy locations are wettest, yet few studies have considered both dimensions of spatial variability in testing for acquisition of resources by plants.
2 Three hypotheses were tested relative to the use of shallow water in intercanopy locations by two coexisting semiarid-woodland tree species, Pinus edulis (a pinon) and Juniperus monosperma (a juniper): (i) both P. edulis and J. monosperma can use shallow water from intercanopy locations;. (ii) J. monosperma is able to obtain more shallow water from intercanopy locations than P. edulis, and (iii) the spatial arrangement of the trees influences the amount of water they obtain. Soil moisture and plant water potential (i.e. plant water stress) were measured before and after the addition of water to shallow depths (0-30 cm) of intercanopy locations for trees of both species in two spatial arrangements: isolated and paired with a contiguous tree of the other species.
3 Both species responded to the addition of shallow water in intercanopy locations, as measured by plant water potential. The response of J. monosperma was significantly greater than that of P. edulis, as measured by depletion of shallow soil moisture in intercanopy locations and by change in plant water potential per unit change in soil water potential (the difference was not detectable on the basis of plant water potential alone); in addition, the amount of depletion was correlated with basal area of J. monosperma but not of P. edulis. The responses were not influenced by spatial arrangement (isolated vs. paired with a contiguous tree of the other species).
4 The results of this study are consistent with differences in the relative abundances of the two species across locations, suggesting that species differences in ability to use shallow water in intercanopy locations is important in structuring semiarid woodlands. Further, the results suggest that current theoretical concepts for semiarid ecosystems, which ignore either vertical or horizontal variability in soil moisture, may be inadequate for predicting changes in the ratio of woody to herbaceous plant biomass, particularly for plant communities with co-dominant woody species that differ in ability to acquire spatially heterogeneous resources.

AB We examined the effects of polishing and etching on the structural and electrical properties of various high pressure Bridgman Cd1-xZnxTe (CZT) crystals using high resolution x-ray diffraction (HRXRD) and alpha particle mapping. Two etching solutions investigated are: (1) standard bromine-methanol solution, and (2) standard solution mixed with lactic acid. HRXRD, and in particular, triple axis x-ray diffraction (TAXRD) showed the effectiveness of the bromine-methanol etch in removing residual strain and damage from the CZT crystal. TAXRD mapping of a similar to 5 cm(2) CZT crystal after etching resulted in a reduction of the average rocking curve full width at half maximum to 15 arc-sec (compared to 23 are-sec for the ''as-received''). Alpha particle mapping of the electron risetime and the pulse height spectrum, along with leakage current measurements, showed varying effects of the different etching solutions on the surface properties (and hence their influence on the electrical and detector properties). These preliminary results show the importance and the sensitivity of the overall detector properties on the surface preparation conditions of CZT crystals used as radiation detectors.

AB A CdZnTe detector grown by the high pressure Bridgman (HPB) growth technique was tested using high energy x-rays (30 similar to 100 keV), and the performance was compared with a commercially available NaI scintillating detector of 5 cm thickness. The charge collection efficiency of a CdZnTe detector is as high as 90% at relatively low electric field, 600 V/cm. At high x-ray photon energies, the detection efficiency is reduced due to the thickness of the CdZnTe. A 32 channel linear array was fabricated on 1.2 similar to 1.7 mm thick CdZnTe, of which the detector area was 175 x 800 mu m(2) and the pitch size 250 mu m. The measured dark current for the 16 element detector was as low as 0.1 pA at 800 V/cm with an excellent uniformity. Energy spectra were measured using a Co-57 radiation source. A small pixel effect and charge sharing were observed. The energy resolution was improved and compared with the large area detector. The array detector gave an average 5.8% full-width-half-maximum (FWHM) at 122 keV photopeak. The large area detector of the same material before fabrication exhibited a low energy tail at the photopeak, which limits the photopeak FWHM to 8%.

AB This paper describes a phenomenological model for simulating the removal of toluene, ethylbenzene and o-xylene (TEX) from contaminated air streams by a biofilter. The phenomena incorporated into the model are interphase mass transfer between the gas and the aqueous biofilm with equilibrium partition, advection, diffusion, and biological reactions. The reaction rate for each TEX component is quantified using a more generalized Monod equation to allow for inhibitive effects in the presence of multiple substrates. Solutions to the system of coupled nonlinear partial differential equations representing component mass conservation are obtained by a fully implicit finite difference method with first-order accuracy in time and second-order accuracy in space. A parametric study is performed to evaluate the sensitivity of the Peclet number and the normalized mass transfer coefficient, both of which show strong influence on the removal rates. Comparison of the concentration distribution along the biofilter against available measured data and the exact closed-form solution indicates a good agreement with discrepancies being within experimental uncertainties.

AB Four alpha-tubulin isoforms recovered from a cDNA library from regenerating limb buds of the Bermuda land crab Gecarcinus lateralis have been characterized. Two clones (alpha 1 and (alpha 2) contained complete coding sequences with start and stop codons; the other two clones were partial, lacking 5' ends. The four isoforms showed high homology in their coding sequences but rather low homology in their non-coding regions. Identity between the nucleotide sequences of alpha 1 and alpha 2 was 83.4%; between their predicted amino acid sequences it was 88.9%. The inferred number of amino acid residues for both alpha 1 and alpha 2 was 451, and their calculated molecular weights were 58.29 and 58.45 kDa, respectively. The greatest divergence in the predicted crab alpha-tubulin proteins occurred near the carboxy terminus, as in alpha-tubulins of other organisms. When compared with other species, nucleotide sequences of all four clones showed highest homology to alpha-tubulin genes of an insect (Drosophila melanogaster), while their predicted amino acid sequences were most highly homologous to an alpha-tubulin of a mammal (Rattus norvegicus). Southern blots revealed a total of five to seven alpha-tubulin genes encoded in the G. lateralis genome. Northern blots showed single bands of approximately 2.2 kb with an alpha 1-tubulin probe and 1.9 kb with an alpha 2-tubulin probe. mRNA levels of both tubulin isoforms appeared to be independently regulated at different stages of the intermolt cycle in both epidermis and limb buds. Western blots of 1D gels of proteins from epidermis, limb buds, or claw muscle showed tissue- and stage-specific changes in tubulin content; similar analyses on blots of 2D gels revealed differences in the number of alpha-tubulin isoforms that were expressed.

AB A method of evaluating the transfer terms appearing in the ensemble-average fluid (t)ransport equation is developed and applied to obtain the transport equations describing flow of a dilute particulate mixture containing solid spherical particles. The equations apply in the limit where interactions between phases are both quasi-steady and viscous, which is defined as flows that meet the three criterion Re-f(a/L)(2) much less than 1, nu(f) tau/a(2) much greater than 1, and Re-p much less than 1. In this limit, the terms describing transfer of momentum between the two phases of the mixture are evaluated to O(1) in the particle radius and O(gamma(p)) in the particle phase density. The continuity equations and consistency principle are exact. When the first two correlations are not met, the transport equations require the terms that describe virtual mass forces; when the third is not met, the transport equations require terms that describe Oseen corrections to the drag term.

The co-deposited tritium is limited to 1 kg-T; the total on-site tritium inventory in the Basic Performance Phase (BPP) is 4 kg-T. Tritiated water concentrations are kept below 0.2 g-T/m(3) in the divertor; other coolant loops have lower tritium concentrations. The in-vessel dust inventory is up to 100 kg-W, 100 kg-Be, and 200 kg-C. The activated corrosion product inventory is kept below 10 kg per loop.

AB The National Ignition Facility (NIF) is a proposed U.S. Department of Energy inertial confinement laser fusion facility. The candidate sites for locating the NIF are: Los Alamos National Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratory, New Mexico, the Nevada Test Site, and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), the preferred site. The NIF will operate by focusing 192 individual laser beams onto a tiny deuterium-tritium target located at the center of a spherical target chamber. The NIF has been classified as a low hazard, radiological facility on the basis of a preliminary hazards analysis and according to the DOE methodology for facility classification. This requires that a safety analysis report be prepared under DOE Order 5481.1B, Safety Analysis and Review System.((1)), A Preliminary Safety Analysis Report (PSAR) has been approved, which documents and evaluates the safety issues associated with the construction, operation, and decommissioning of the NIF.((2))

AB Deuterium implantation experiments have been conducted on samples of clean and carbon-coated beryllium. These studies entailed preparation and characterization of beryllium samples coated with carbon thicknesses of 100, 500, and 1000 Angstrom. Heat treatment of a beryllium sample coated with carbon to a thickness of approximately 100 Angstrom revealed that exposure to a temperature of 400 degrees C under high vacuum conditions was sufficient to cause substantial diffusion of beryllium through the carbon layer, resulting in more beryllium than carbon at the surface. Comparable concentrations of carbon and beryllium were observed in the bulk of the coating layer. Higher than expected oxygen levels were observed throughout the coating layer as well. Samples were exposed to deuterium implantation followed by thermal desorption without exposure to air. Differences were observed in deuterium retention and postimplantation release behavior in the carbon-coated samples as compared with bare samples. For comparable implantation conditions (sample temperature of 400 degrees C and an incident deuterium flux of approximately 6 X 10(19) D/m(2)-s), the quantity of deuterium retained in the bare sample was less than that retained in the carbon-coated samples. Further, the release of the deuterium took place at lower temperatures for the bare beryllium surfaces than for carbon-coated beryllium samples.

AB This paper reports the results of an experimental study to determine the influence of neutron irradiation effects on the chemical reactivity of beryllium exposed to steam. The study entailed measurements of the following: (1) swelling of irradiated Be specimens annealed at temperatures ranging from 450 degrees C to 1200 degrees C, (2) hydrogen generation rates for unirradiated Be control specimens exposed to steam at temperatures from 450 degrees C to 1200 degrees C, and (3) hydrogen generation rates and tritium mobilization rates for irradiated Be exposed to steam at temperatures from 450 degrees C to 700 degrees C. For irradiated Be, swelling occurred at temperatures above 600 degrees C and it increased to about 56% for an anneal temperature of 1200 degrees C. Tritium and He-4 were released concurrently from specimens that were annealed at 800 degrees C and above. Steam-Be reactivity measurements for the control specimens were consistent with previous work at temperatures above 700 degrees C, and the new measurements extended the reactivity database down to 450 degrees C. Steam-reactivity measurements for irradiated Be were comparable to control specimens for 600 degrees C and below, but, they indicated a significant enhancement in the chemical reactivity at 700 degrees C.

AB This paper presents the results of steam exposure tests of 316 stainless steel in the Fusion Aerosol Source Test (FAST) facility. The tests were performed at temperatures of 500, 600, 700, and 800 degrees C. These tests were conducted to measure the mobilized material resulting from the steam exposure conditions at each temperature. A steam volume flow rate of 21-27 standard liters per minute was maintained in the test sections for a duration of 5 hours. These conditions simulate postulated accident conditions in the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) relevant scenarios. These data will be used in safety assessments for ITER. We compared the data obtained in these tests with data from the Volatilization of Activation Product Oxides Reactor (VAPOR) facility at 800 degrees C. The data obtained in the tests show the following: (1) There is a progressive increase of measured mass flux for Fe, Mo, Mn, Zn, and Cr with test temperature between 500 degrees C and 800 degrees C. (2) Mass flux measurements from FAST and VAPOR agree within a factor of three for elements with volatile oxide or hydroxide species such as Cr and Mo. (3) Mass fluxes of elements associated with oxide spalling in VAPOR, mainly Fe and Mn, were up to a factor of 90 lower in the FAST test than in the VAPOR test at 800 degrees C. (4) Detection limits in FAST were lower than those measured in VAPOR due to the larger surface area of the source in FAST tests.

AB The Fusion Safety Program at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory has the lead for fusion safety work in the United States. Over the years, we have developed several experimental facilities to provide data for fusion reactor safety analyses. We now have four major experimental facilities that provide data for use in safety assessments. The Steam-Reactivity Measurement System measures hydrogen generation rates and tritium mobilization rates in high-temperature (up to 1200 degrees C) fusion relevant materials exposed to steam. The Volatilization of Activation Product Oxides Reactor Facility provides information on mobilization and transport and chemical reactivity of fusion relevant materials at high temperature (up to 1200 degrees C) in an oxidizing environment (air or steam). The Fusion Aerosol Source Test Facility is a scaled-up version of VAPOR. The ion-implantation/thermal-desorption system is dedicated to research into processes and phenomena associated with the interaction of hydrogen isotopes with fusion materials. In this paper we describe the capabilities of these facilities.

AB Accidents involving the ingress of air, helium, or water into the cryostat of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) tokamak design have been analyzed with a modified version of the MELCOR code for the ITER Non-site Specific Safety Report (NSSR-1). The air ingress accident is the result of a postulated breach of the cryostat boundary into an adjoining room. MELCOR results for this accident demonstrate that the condensed air mass and increased heat loads are not a magnet safety concern, but that the partial vacuum in the adjoining room must be accommodated in the building design. The water ingress accident is the result of a postulated magnet are that results in melting of a Primary Heat Transport System (PHTS) coolant pipe, discharging PHTS water and PHTS water activated corrosion products and HTO into the cryostat. MELCOR results for this accident demonstrate that the condensed water mass and increased heat loads are not a magnet safety concern, that the cryostat pressure remains below design limits, and that the corrosion product and HTO releases are well within the ITER release limits.

AB A number of postulated in-vessel loss of coolant accidents (LOCAs) associated with the first wall and baffle cooling systems of the ITER detailed design have been analyzed for the ITER Non-site Specific Safety Report (NSSR-1). A range of break sizes from one first wall tube break (1.57 x 10(-4) m(2)) to damage to all in-vessel components (0.6 m(2) break) have been examined. These events span the ITER event classification from likely events to extremely unlikely events. In addition, in-vessel pipe breaks in combination with bypass of the two confinement barriers through a generic penetration have been examined. In all cases, when the vacuum vessel pressure suppression system is activated, most of the radioactive inventory is carried to the suppression pool where it remains for the duration of the event. Releases in these events are well within ITER release limits.

AB This paper summarizes safety and environmental issues of Inertial Fusion Energy (IFE): inventories, effluents, maintenance, accident safety, waste management, and recycling. The fusion confinement approach among inertial and magnetic options affects how the fusion reaction is maintained and which materials surround the reaction chamber. The target fill technology has a major impact on the target factory tritium inventory. IFE fusion reaction chambers usually employ some means to protect the first structural wall from fusion pulses. This protective fluid or granular bed also moderates and absorbs most neutrons before they reach the first structural wall. Although the protective fluid activates, most candidate fluids have low activation hazard. Hands-on maintenance seems practical for the driver, target factory, and secondary coolant systems; remote maintenance is likely required for the reaction chamber, primary coolant, and vacuum exhaust cleanup systems. The driver and fuel target facility are well separated from the main reaction chamber.

AB The objective of the study is to provide a safety assessment method for plasma transients including thermal response of in-vessel components. We developed a plasma physics model for safety analysis which has been implemented in a safety analysis code (SAFALY). The SAFALY code consists of a 0-D plasma dynamics model and a 1-D thermal behavior model of in-vessel components in the thickness direction. The code can treat hydraulic accidents using the results from a hydraulic code and analyze a passive plasma shutdown due to the impurity release from the wall. The overpower events in International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) were investigated, when the fueling rate and confinement improvement changes. The results show no significant damage to the confinement boundary of ITER is expected, as long as the cooling system works normally.

AB Together with the magnetic shear across the magnetopause, the solar wind Alfven Mach number, M-A infinity plays a central role in determining the structure of the magnetosheath. Recent theoretical modeling has shown, in particular, that as M-A infinity decreases, the region adjacent to the sunward side of the magnetopause where the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) exerts a strong influence on the flow (i.e., the so-called ''plasma depletion layer''), is no longer confined to a thin layer similar to 0.3 Earth radii (R-E) thick but occupies an increasingly larger fraction of the magnetosheath. Furthermore, the model predicts the possibility of a plasma depletion layer for low M-A infinity, irrespective of the size of the magnetic shear at the magnetopause, In this paper we study three examples of low latitude ISEE 2 passes through the dayside magnetosheath near noon: December 3, 1979; October 5, 1979; and November 11, 1979, In all three examples, MA, was lower than normal. During the December 3 pass (which we treat qualitatively), we find evidence of a plasma depletion layer when the IMF was pointing south, On the other two passes (which we study quantitatively), the interplanetary magnetic field was strongly northward pointing, leading to low magnetic shear at the respective magnetopause crossings, The October 5 pass was under steady interplanetary conditions and we find good agreement between theory and data, Temporal variations of the interplanetary medium during the November 11 pass necessitated an extension of the steady state theory to encompass piecewise steady (on average) interplanetary conditions, Better agreement with the data results when the theory is extended further to correct the total pressure at the sunward side of the magnetopause by integrating the magnetic tension term across the layer. For wide plasma depletion layers, this correction can be substantial.

AB To explain observations of brief intervals of cold, dense plasma by geosynchronous satellites in the midnight sector prior to or during substorm onset, it has recently been proposed that dense plasmaspheric plasma is drawn out to geosynchronous orbit in the premidnight region by inductive electric fields during the growth phase of a geomagnetic substorm. We present here the results of a statistical study of such intervals observed with the Los Alamos magnetospheric plasma analyzer (MPA) on geosynchronous satellite 1989-046 between March and December 1993. We find that these premidnight cold plasma intervals occur only after extended periods of low magnetospheric activity identified by Kp and the midnight boundary index (MBI). We also find that the satellite typically enters the cold plasma region from the trough region and exits it into the plasma sheet. Finally, while measurements of the flow velocity of the cold plasma are rendered uncertain by the asymmetric spacecraft charge or photoelectron sheath, such measurements show no evidence of the outward flow that would be expected from the extrusion hypothesis. Rather, there are some indications that these cold plasma regions flow sunward in the (corotation) satellite frame. These results suggest an alternative explanation for the premidnight cold plasma: corotation-dominated transport of dayside plasmaspheric structures into the premidnight sector. The implications of our observations for the extrusion hypothesis and for the alternative explanation are discussed.

AB On January 15, 1994, the ion spectrometer high energy particle - low energy particle detector (HEP-LD) on the Japanese spacecraft Geotail observed five quasi-periodic energetic ion bursts in the deep tail (X=-96 RE) These bursts were associated with plasmoid-like structures in the magnetic field components. In addition, three multiple TCR groups were identified in the interval. The observations in the distant tail occurred during a time interval of substorm activity which also produced multiple injections in the geosynchronous orbit region. The HEP-LD observations show that B-z bipolar plasmoid-like structures are associated with tailward flowing particle bursts. However, earthward flowing particle bursts are predominantly associated with bipolar signatures in B-y. In addition, an oxygen burst was seen in the back of a plasmoid (postplasmoid) which showed both B-y and B-z bipolar magnetic field signatures. The oxygen burst lasted for 23 min, and the density ratio (O/H) reached 15% for the HEP-LD energy range (in the same plasmoid, this ratio was approximately 1% before the oxygen burst). The oxygen burst exhibited a strong beam-like structure which occupied only 6 similar to 7% of the full solid angle (4 pi). We suggest that energized oxygen ions of ionospheric origin travel downtail in the narrow postplasmoid-plasma sheet which trails the plasmoid. Furthermore, we suggest that the magnetosphere dissipated larger quantities of energy during this very intense substorm event by ejecting multiple relatively small plasmoids rather than through the formation and ejection of a single large plasmoid.

AB Although most mutations are deleterious, an interplay between somatic mutation and selection within germinal centers (GC) results in rapid generation of high affinity memory B cells. How high affinity B cells with large numbers of mutations are generated and preserved within GC containing at their peak only a few thousand cells has been puzzling, We have developed a model of somatic mutation and B cell expansion within a GC that resolves this puzzle, We show that the frequent recycling of Ag-selected centrocytes back into centroblasts can lead to efficient affinity maturation, Memory cells are generated in large numbers even when most of the selected centrocytes recycle back into centroblasts, Our model suggests that a germinal center reaction in which the output of cells is low up to the point of GC dissociation, followed by the release of centrocytes into the periphery, is advantages for generating high affinity memory.

Embedding efficiency and effect on bacterial activity

DT Article

ID PSEUDOMONAS SP; CELLS; DEGRADATION
AB Immobilization of the trichloroethylene-degrading bacterium Burkholderia cepacia was evaluated using hydrophilic polyurethane foam. The influence of several foam formulation parameters upon cell retention was examined. Surfactant type was a major determinant of retention; a lecithin-based compound retained more cells than pluronic- or silicone-based surfactants. Excessive amounts of surfactant led to increased washout of bacteria. Increasing the biomass concentration in the foam from 4.8 to 10.5% dry weight per wet weight of foam resulted in fewer cells being washed out. Embedding at reduced temperature did not significantly affect retention, while the use of a silane binding agent gave inconsistent results. The optimal formulation retained all but 0.2% of total embedded cells during passage of 2 L of water through columns containing 2 g of foam, All foam formulations tested reduced the culturability of embedded cells by several orders of magnitude, but O-2 consumption and CO2 evolution rates of embedded cells were never less than 50% of those of free cells. Nutrient amendments stimulated an increase in cell volume and ribosomal activity in immobilized cells as indicated by hybridization studies using fluorescently labeled ribosomal probes. These results indicate that, although immobilized cells were mostly nonculturable, they were metabolically active and thus could be used for biodegradation of toxic compounds.

AB An actuation technique suitable for controlling bending vibrations in thick beams and plates is described. This work is motivated by vibration problems encountered in manufacturing that require greater control authority than can be obtained using surface mounted PZT patches or PVDF films. Instead, PZT stack actuators mounted in material cutouts are used to induce bending moments in the host structure. Experimental results are provided for the case of a cantilevered bar and a lithography platen used in the manufacture of integrated circuits. Good coupling between the extensional motion of the actuators and the bending deformation of the host structures is illustrated, and significant increases in first mode damping are achieved in both examples using a positive position feedback compensator.

AB Acetosyringone (3,5-dimethoxy-4-hydroxyacetophenone, 1) is one of the plant signals that induce the vir genes of Agrobacterium tumefaciens which causes crown gall tumors on dicotyledonous plants. Vir gene induction is enhanced by other environmental factors like specific monosaccarides and acidic pH. However, it is still unclear how the inducer interacts with Agrobacterium. To identify the receptor(s) in Agrobacterium tumefaciens to which the plant signal binds, highly radioactive acetosyringone (3,5-[H-3(6)]dimethoxy-4-hydroxyacetophenone, 6) was synthesized using (CH3I)-H-3 which was generated by two different methods. In Method 1, (CH3I)-H-3 was generated from 4-[methyl-H-3]methoxy biphenyl to give methyl species with tritium NMR peak intensity ratios ((CH3)-H-3:(CH2H)-H-3:(CHH2)-H-3 = 44:42:14), and a calculated specific radioactivity of 56.1 Ci/mmole. Method 2 gave higher specific radioactivity reagent (72.6 Ci/mmole), with measured NMR peak intensity ratios of ((CH3)-H-3:(CH2H)-H-3:(CHH2)-H-3=87:7:6).

AB We describe the details of a new method for studying thermally activated flux creep in superconductors. This method employs an array of microscopic Hall sensors to probe the time evolution of the field profile in the sample. We analyze these data on the basis of a continuity equation which takes into account contributions to the relaxation process from both the in-plane and out-of-plane components of the induction field. This analysis enables direct determination of flux creep parameters such as the flux-line current density, flux-line velocity and the activation energy for flux creep. We demonstrate this method by presenting experimental data far YBa2Cu3O7-x crystals in the remanent state and in the presence of a field.

AB Thermochemical reduction (TCR) up to 1900 K of Pr3+-doped yttria-stabilized zirconia single crystals has been studied using optical techniques. Ln contrast to undoped samples, only one absorption band peaking at similar to 375 nm was observed in reduced samples. Excitation experiments show that the 4f5d interconfigurational band of Pr3+ overlaps the excitation band responsible for the intrinsic luminescence. After TCR the 4f5d band shifts to higher energies. Both the appearance of the 375 nm absorption band and the shift of the Pr3+ 4f5d excitation band are related to oxygen vacancy formation after TCR.

AB The lateral deformation properties of oriented polymer fibres were examined by transverse compressive and torsional experiments. A modified interfacial test system machine was used to study the transverse compressive deformation behaviour of thermally cross-linkable poly(p-1,2-dihydrocyclobutaphenylene terephthalamide) (PPXTA) fibres and of a number of commercially available polymers (Nomex, nylon, Kevlar, Dacron) and ceramic (Nicalon and FP) fibres. The torsional (shear) modulus G of PPXTA and Kevlar poly(p-phenylene terephthalamide) (PPTA) fibres was measured by pendulum experiments. During both fibre torsion and transverse compression, the deformation involves materials slip on (hk0) planes, in the [001] direction for the torsion and the [hk0] directions for transverse compression. The intermolecular crosslinks in PPXTA did not significantly modify the elastic transverse modulus E-t and caused only slight (13%) increase in shear modulus G. However, the plastic transverse properties of cross-linked PPXTA were significantly different than those of uncross-linked PPXTA. The stress at the proportional limit <(sigma)over bar>(p), determined from the transverse load-displacement curves, was substantially higher for the cross-linked fibres than for the uncross-linked fibres. In addition, the cross-linked PPXTA fibres exhibited a large strain recoverable response reminiscent of elastomers, whereas the PPTA and uncross-linked PPXTA fibres exhibited a large strain irreversible response.

AB The reproduction performance of captive owl monkeys, a breed used extensively in biomedical research, was observed at the Battelle Primate Facility (BPF). The colony grew through captive breeding, imports from the Peruvian Primatological Project, and others to a peak size of 730. It included seven karyotypes of Aotus sp. Results showed that owl monkeys can breed successfully in a laboratory in numbers sufficient to sustain modest research programs. Reproductive success increases when pairs are compatible, of the same karyotype, and stabilized; however, mated pairs of different karyotype are also productive. Under conditions of controlled lighting and heating, owl monkeys at BPF showed no birth peak nor birth season.

AB The observation of the C-Cl stretching fundamental of (HCCl)-Cl-35 in its ground (X) over tilde(1)A' state is reported. HCCl was formed in a continuous flow system by the excimer laser photolysis of CHBr2Cl at 193 nm and the transient absorption recorded by infrared diode laser spectroscopy. The band has a-type character and the fundamental vibrational frequency is found to be 811.5963 cm(-1). No evidence was found for perturbations in either the ground or vibrationally excited states, implying that the excited triplet (a) over tilde(3)A '' states lies above the C-Cl stretching level in HCCl. The observed rotation-vibration transitions were well fit by a standard asymmetric rotor Hamiltonian. There is a decrease in the A rotational constant on vibrational excitation, suggesting that some bend-C-Cl stretch coupling is present. (C) 1997 Academic Press.

AB An electrochemical purification stage has been incorporated into the conventional fabrication process of heavy metal fluoride glasses. This change was undertaken to reduce the absorption losses associated with residual transition metal impurities, particularly the Fe2+ band at 1.0 mu m Purified samples doped with ytterbium exhibited net cooling due to anti-stokes fluorescence and a relative cooling efficiency of about 2% was observed via photothermal deflection spectroscopy. Pumping to the lower Stark levels of the F-2(5/2) manifold, followed by population redistribution across this manifold and fluorescence to the ground state, results in net cooling. This cooling can be achieved only if energy transfer and the extrinsic absorptive component of the host glass are suppressed.

AB This paper describes an attempt to characterize the deterioration of a structural material's mechanical properties by nonlinear acoustics. In this particular case, the damage was caused by ''thermal embrittlement'' during which the material, here the nickel-based alloy Inconel 718, loses a significant fraction of its fracture toughness. Harmonic generation was the experimental method used to characterize the microstructural changes in the material as a function of exposure time at elevated temperatures. Tests were performed on two heats of Inconel 718 with slightly different chemistries, with one heat showing particular sensitivity of the fracture toughness to the elevated temperature exposure with corresponding higher changes in the nonlinearity parameter. As a mechanical measure of the fracture toughness deterioration, a small specimen punch test was used in which the ductility of a thin slice of material is determined. A clear difference between the two heats was noted in the metallographic examination, which is reflected in the harmonic generation as well as the punch test data. An explanation for the changes of the harmonic generation during the embrittlement process is speculative at the present time.

DT Article
DE diffusion bonds; bond strength; reflected acoustic energy; acoustic
nonlinearity; second harmonic amplitude
AB The distortion of a sinusoidal acoustic wave at unbonded interfaces has been determined in terms of the first and second harmonic amplitudes. The results demonstrate for the first time that the second harmonic can reach the theoretically predicted maximum value. As also predicted, the harmonic generation efficiency at unbonded interfaces first increases and then decreases with an externally applied compressive load. The technique has been applied to diffusion bonded specimens in an attempt to quantify their achieved strength. As already demonstrated earlier, the energy reflected from such diffusion bonds is also useful to characterize their strength. Indications are that a combination of reflected energy and harmonic generation data could be a powerful tool to quantify the strength of diffusion bonds, particularly those of nearly perfect strength. A strength determination of diffusion bonds by nondestructive evaluation is a necessity for the qualification of such bonds in critical applications.

AB Ceramic matrix composites are of interest for nuclear applications because of their high-temperature properties, corrosion resistance, fracture toughness relative to monolithic ceramics, and low neutron activation and after heat. Evaluations of the radiation resistance of commercially available SiC/SiC composites have revealed their promise for this application, but also the need for further development to achieve the desired performance. This paper summarizes the results of a workshop cosponsored by the Offices of Fusion Energy and Basic Energy Sciences of the US Department of Energy and Lockheed-Martin Corporation with forty attendees from national laboratories, universities and industry. A number of promising routes for optimizing the radiation stability of ceramic matrix composites were identified at this workshop. These routes included the newer, more stoichiometric fibers and alternate fiber/matrix interfaces and matrix processing routes.

TI Factors which control the swelling of Fe-Cr-Ni ternary austenitic alloys
SO JOURNAL OF NUCLEAR MATERIALS
LA English
DT Article
ID MICROSTRUCTURAL EVOLUTION; MECHANICAL-PROPERTIES; IRRADIATION; HELIUM
AB In agreement with limited earlier studies, a comprehensive irradiation experiment conducted in both EBR-II and FFTF demonstrates that while cold-working usually decreases void swelling of ternary Fe-Cr-Ni alloys at relatively low irradiation temperatures, it in general increases swelling at higher irradiation temperatures, Aging of cold-worked specimens to produce cellular dislocation networks tends to further increase swelling, especially at higher nickel levels. The swelling of ternary alloys at lower nickel levels also appears to be sensitive to details of the preirradiation annealing treatment. The differences in the details of reactor operating conditions also exert an influence on void nucleation and thereby on the duration of the transient regime of swelling. In the current irradiation series this leads to the swelling developed in EBR-II at similar to 30 dpa being consistently larger than that in FFTF. All of these results confirm an earlier conclusion that the primary variability of void swelling of FeCrNi alloys lies in the incubation and transient regimes, rather than in the steady-state swelling rate regime. Under certain conditions, the transient regime can be made to approach 0 dpa.

ID MECHANISMS
AB The characteristics of high density U-Mo alloy powder solidified rapidly by the centrifugal atomization process have been examined. The results indicate that most of the atomized U-Mo alloy particles have a smooth surface and near-perfect spherical shape. The atomized powder, irrespective of particle size, is found to be single phase gamma-U alloy with isotropic structure and non-dendritic grain. The continuous cooling DSC trace of U-2 wt% Mo alloy shows a small, broad endothermic peak originated from the formation of alpha-U phase and U2Mo phase, whereas that of U-10 wt% Mo alloy shows no peak over all temperature ranges associated with the decomposition of gamma-U phase. The gamma-U phase of U-2 wt% Mo powder is decomposed as the alpha-U phase and the U2Mo phase after an annealing treatment at 400 degrees C for 100 h. But the gamma-U phase of atomized U-10 wt% Mo powder remains as it was.

ID VANADIUM ALLOYS; FUSION-REACTORS; ACTIVATION
AB We conducted a systematic study to determine the effects of time and temperature of air exposure on the oxidation behavior and microstructure of V-4Cr-4Ti and V-5Cr-5Ti alloys. All samples were from 1 mm thick cold-rolled sheets, and each was annealed in vacuum at 1050 degrees C for 1 h prior to high-temperature exposure. Different samples from each alloy were heated in ambient air at 500 degrees C for times ranging from 24 to approximate to 2000 h, and in a thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) apparatus at temperatures ranging from 300 to 650 degrees C. Models describing the oxidation kinetics, oxide type and its thickness, alloy grain size, and depth of oxygen diffusion in the substrate alloy were determined for the two alloys and compared. The results showed that the oxide layers that formed on the surfaces of both alloys in air at 300-650 degrees C are protective, and that the V-5Cr-5Ti alloy is slightly more oxidation-resistant than the V-4Cr-4Ti alloy.

AB Underground waste tanks fabricated from mild steel store more than 253 million liters of high level radioactive waste from 50 years of weapons production at the Hanford Site. The probable modes of corrosion failures are reported as nitrate stress corrosion cracking and pitting. In an effort to develop a waste tank corrosion monitoring system, laboratory tests were conducted to characterize electrochemical noise data for both uniform and localized corrosion of mild steel and other materials in simulated waste environments. The simulated waste solutions were primarily composed of ammonium nitrate or sodium nitrate and were held at approximately 97 degrees C. The electrochemical noise of freely corroding specimens was monitored, recorded and analysed for periods ranging between 10 and 500 h. At the end of each test period, the specimens were examined to correlate electrochemical noise data with corrosion damage. Data characteristic of uniform corrosion and stress corrosion cracking are presented.

AB This study evaluates the use of the Tc-99m-DTPA aerosol lung clearance method to investigate radiation-induced lung changes in eight patients undergoing radiotherapy for lung or breast carcinoma. The sensitivity of the method was compared with chest radiography for detecting radiation-induced changes in the lung, regional alterations within (irradiated region) and outside (shielded region) the treatment ports, effect of irradiated lung volume, and dependence on time after radiotherapy, Methods: Serial DTPA lung clearance studies were performed before the first radiation treatment (baseline), then weekly during a 5- to 7-wk course, and up to 12 times post-therapy over periods of 56-574 days, The total activity deposited in the lungs for each study was similar to 150 mu Ci (similar to 5.6 MBq), DTPA clearance, expressed in terms of the biological half-time, t(1/2), was computed from the slopes of the least-squares fit regression lines of the time-activity curves for the first 10 min for irradiated and shielded lung regions, Results: Major findings include: (a) significant and early DTPA t(1/2) changes were observed in all patients during and after radiotherapy; (b) changes in DTPA t(1/2) values were observed in both irradiated and shielded lung regions in all patients suggesting a radiation-induced systemic reaction; (c) changes in DTPA t(1/2) values were correlated (p < 0.05) with the irradiated lung volumes; (d) significantly reduced DTPA t(1/2) values were observed in three patients who subsequently presented with clinical symptoms and/or radiographic changes consistent with radiation pneumonitis (t(1/2) fell to 19% +/- 6% of baseline values, compared with 64% +/- 17% in the remaining patients [p < 0.01]); (e) the onset of decreased DTPA t(1/2) values in these three patients occurred 35-84 days before clinical symptoms and/or radiographic changes; and (f) DTPA t(1/2) tended to approach baseline values with time after radiotherapy, suggesting a long-term recovery in lung injury, Conclusion: These observations show significant and early alterations in DTPA lung clearance during and after radiotherapy that may provide a sensitive assay to monitor changes in radiation-induced lung injury and may facilitate early therapeutic intervention.

AB An ex-vessel loss of coolant accident (LOCA) in the first wall/shield blanket of a fusion reactor has been analyzed by a hybrid code consisting of plasma dynamics and heat transfer analysis of in-vessel components. We investigated possibility of passive plasma shutdown scenario during the accident in International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER). The safety analysis code which we developed can treat impurity concentration from the first wall and the divertor with a transport probability into the main plasma and a time delay given as input. It was found that the plasma is passively shutdown by a density limit disruption due to beryllium release from heated first wall surfaces about 168 seconds after the LOCA, when the transport probability of beryllium from the first wall into the plasma and the time delay were assumed to be 10(-2) and the energy confinement time, respectively. At that time, the surface temperature of the outboard center (plasma facing component (PFC) with beryllium) and the temperature of the coolant tube in the first wall (stainless steel 316) reach about 1,120 degrees C and about 1,080 degrees C, respectively. Although the coolant tube does not melt, the copper heat sink between the PFC and the coolant tube melts before the passive shutdown. The heat sink of copper in the outboard baffle also melts before the passive shutdown, though the PEC surface of tungsten does not melt. Consequently, we have a possibility of passive plasma shutdown before the cooling tubes melt during the ex-LOCA of the first wall/shield blanket in ITER, however, further studies are needed all the effects an plasma burn control, impurity release and emission of implanted D-T fuel.

DT Article
ID TRIBUTYL-PHOSPHATE; DEGRADATION; SYSTEM
AB Ion-pair chromatography was tested for its applicability in determining monobutyl phosphate (MBP) and dibutyl phosphate (DBP), which are degradation products of tributyl phosphate, in Hanford tank wastes. In tests with simulant waste mixtures. tetrahexylammonium bromide, an ion-pairing agent, was used to complex with all three phosphate species. Recovery studies indicated that ion-pairing chromatography is quantitative for determining the analytes in spiked samples. Initial results demonstrated that DBP could be detected easily and was fairly well separated from other peaks, but MBP was frequently lost due to large negative peaks. When a preconcentration column proce dure was used to clean up the waste-sample matrix, and the negative peaks disappeared. Results indicated that 80% of MBP and 90% of DBP could be recovered. Most of the radioactivity was removed from actual waste tank samples so that additional sample preparation could be performed safely in a fume hood rather than a hot cell. Dibutyl phosphate was identified in an actual tank waste, but MBP was not found; this result was confirmed by ion chromatography with conductivity detection.

TI Resonance Raman studies of benzene derivatives with methoxy
substitution: Conformational symmetry-breaking effects
SO JOURNAL OF RAMAN SPECTROSCOPY
LA English
DT Article
ID GEOMETRY ASSIGNMENT; STATES
AB Resonance Raman intensities show that methoxy substitution induces considerable allowed character to the L-a transition of benzene. In symmetric 1,3,5-trisubstituted benzene derivatives the induced allowed character should cancel by symmetry. However, in 1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene the resonance Raman spectrum shows a strong fundamental transition of v(8), the clear signature of an allowed transition. It is shown that this is due to the presence of a C-s conformer of 1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene in which one of the three methoxy groups is rotated relative to the other two. This is supported by ab initio calculations of conformational energy, induced transition moment and the splitting of the v1 band. (C) 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

ID WO3
AB The structure of a low-temperature form of tungsten trioxide, epsilon-WO3, has been determined for the first time. Earlier inconclusive evidence for ferroelectricity in this form is confirmed. There are at least six forms of WO3, but epsilon-WO3 is the only form now shown to be acentric. The structure analysis of epsilon-WO3 was based primarily on Rietveld analysis of high-resolution neutron diffraction data obtained at 15 K. Higher resolution synchrotron X-ray diffraction data were used to confirm the space group. This epsilon-form of WO3 is monoclinic with a space group of Pc, a = 5.278 Angstrom, b = 5.156 Angstrom, c = 7.664 Angstrom, beta = 91.762 degrees, and Z = 4. During the transformation from triclinic delta-WO3 to the monoclinic epsilon-WO3, no change in the octahedral tilt system occurs, but there are significant shifts in the W atom positions. These W atom shifts result in an enhancement of the long-short bond distance alternation in the [110] direction (the [100] direction of the delta-phase), which is related to changes in electrical and optical properties.

ID TITANOSILICATE; CESIUM
AB Crystals of a new titanosilicate phase, Cs2TiSi6O15, were grown from a cesium vanadate flux. The compound has monoclinic symmetry, space group C2/c, with a 13.386(5), b = 7.423(3), c = 15.134(5) Angstrom = beta = 107.71(3)degrees, Z = 4. The crystal structure was solved using single crystal X-ray data (MoK alpha radition) and refined to R(F) = 0.039 for 1874 unique reflections. In the structure, isolated titanium-centred octahedra and silica-centred tetrahedra share all corners to form an open framework structure containing large cavities in which the cesium ions are located. Each cavity is bound by three 5-rings, two 6-rings, and two 8-rings. The cavities are linked via the 8-rings into channels parallel to [101]. The cesium ions occur in pairs along the channels, separated by 3.765(2) Angstrom. (C) 1997 Academic Press.

transformation; nucleation
ID 2 DISTINCT MECHANISMS; REDISTRIBUTION; MACROMOLECULES
AB We propose a new theory of cell surface capping based on the principles of nucleation. When antibody interacts with cell surface molecules, the molecules initially form small aggregates called patches that later coalesce into a large aggregate called a cap. While a cap can form by patches bring pulled together by action of the cell's cytoskeleton, in the case of some molecules, disruption of the cytoskeleton does not prevent cap formation. Diffusion of large aggregates on a cell surface is slow, and thus we propose that a cap can form solely through the diffusion of small aggregates containing just one or a few cell surface molecules. Here we consider the extreme case in which single molecules are mobile, but aggregates of all larger sizes are immobile. We show that a set of patches in equilibrium with a ''sea'' of free cell surface molecules can undergo a nucleation-type phase transition in which the largest patch will bind free cell surface molecules, deplete the concentration of such molecules in the ''sea,'' and thus cause the other patches to shrink in size. We therefore show that a cap can form without patches having to move, collide with each other, and aggregate.

ID GRAIN-GROWTH; CERAMICS
AB Silicon nitride (Si3N4) particles embedded in various R-Si-Al-O-N glasses (R = La, Nd, Gd, Yb) have been systematically studied by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and by analytical electron microscopy. The particles typically show an internal growth band, which is attributed to the enhanced growth of the particles in the supersaturated silicate liquid during cooling and reheating. The electron energy-loss spectroscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analysis reveal that the growth band typically contains lanthanide elements. This trapping, especially of the lighter lanthanide elements, within the lattice of the beta-SiAlON is obviously beyond the general expectation that the lighter lanthanide ions hardly form solid solutions with either alpha- or beta-Si3N4. This ultimately provides some clues regarding the mobility of the lanthanide ions in the liquids and also revives interest in the general question of the possible effect of a cooling stage on the structures and compositions of the intergranular film and of the grain/glass interface in the Si3N4-based polycrystalline ceramics.

AB Improvement in the thermal conductivity of aluminum nitride (AIN) can be realized by additives that have a high thermodynamic affinity toward alumina (Al2O3), as is clearly demonstrated in the aluminum nitride-yttria (AlN-Y2O3) system, A wide variety of lanthanide dopants are compared at equimolar lanthanide oxide:alumina (Ln(2)O(3): Al2O3, where Ln is a lanthanide element) ratios, with samaria (Sm2O3) and lutetia (Lu2O3) being the dopants that give the highest- and lowest-thermal-conductivity AIN composites, respectively, The choice of the sintering aid and the dopant level is much more important than the microstructure that evolves during sintering, A contiguous AIN phase provides rapid heat conduction paths, even at short sintering times, AlN contiguity decreases slightly as the annealing times increase in the range of 1-1000 min at 1850 degrees C. However, a substantial increase in thermal conductivity results, because of purification of AIN grains by dissolution-reprecipitation and bulk diffusion, Removal of grain-boundary phases, with a concurrent increase in AIN contiguity, occurs at high annealing temperatures or at long times and is a natural consequence of high dihedral angles (poor wetting) in liquid-phase-sintered AIN ceramics.

AB The strengths of ceramic fibers and whiskers have been observed to increase with decreasing fiber diameter and length, Typically, both surface flaws and volume hams exist in ceramic fibers and whiskers, which makes it impossible to characterize the strength dependence of both the diameter and the length with a single-modal Weibull distribution function, Our data also show that the single-modal Weibull distribution is inadequate to characterize the strength of fibers with varying diameters even in the case of a constant fiber length, In addition, experimental data also show that, for sapphire whiskers whose surface flaws mere removed by chemical polishing, the whisker strength has a much stronger size dependence on diameter than predicted by the single-modal Weibull function, which indicates that factors other than those characterized by the Weibull function also play a role in the strength of sapphire whiskers, In this paper, the factors affecting the strengths of ceramic fibers and whiskers are analyzed in terms of Weibull statistics, fracture mechanics, and ham size density variation with varying fiber diameters, A three-parameter modified Weibull distribution, which combines the above strength-affecting factors, is proposed to characterize both the diameter and the length dependence for ceramic fibers and whiskers with or without surface flaws, Characterization of the strength data of sapphire whiskers and Nicalon SiC fibers with varying diameters shows the validity of the modified Weibull distribution function.

AB The mode I, mode II, and combined mode I-mode II fracture behavior of ceria-doped tetragonal zirconia polycrystalline (Ce-TZP) ceramic was studied, The single-edge-precracked-beam (SEPB) samples were fractured using the asymmetric four-point-bend geometry. The ratio of mode I to mode II loading was varied by varying the degree of asymmetry in the four-point-bend geometry. The minimum strain energy density theory best described the mixed-mode fracture behavior of Ce-TZP with the mode I fracture toughness, K-IC = 8.2 +/- 0.6 MPa . m(1/2), and the mode II fracture toughness, K-IIC = 8.6 +/- 1.3 MPa . m(1/2).

AB Multiply protonated horse skeletal muscle holomyoglobin and apomyoglobin have been subjected to ion-ion proton transfer reactions with anions derived from perfluoro-1,3-dimethylcyclohexane in a quadrupole ion trap operated with helium as a bath gas at 1 mtorr. Neither the apomyoglobin nor holomyoglobin ions show any sign of fragmentation associated with charge state reduction to the 1 + charge state. This is particularly noteworthy for the holomyoglobin ions, which retain the noncovalently bound heme group. For example, no sign of heme loss is associated with charge state reduction from the 9+ charge state of holomyoglobin to the 1+ charge state despite the eight consecutive highly exothermic proton transfer reactions required to bring about this charge change. This result is consistent with calculations that show the combination of long ion lifetime and the high ion-helium collision rate relative to the ion-ion collision rate makes fragmentation unlikely for high mass ions in the ion trap environment even for noncovalently bound complexes of moderate binding strength. The ion-ion proton transfer rates for holo- and apomyoglobin ions of the same charge state also were observed to be indistinguishable, which supports the expectation that ion-ion proton transfer rates are insensitive to ion structure and are determined primarily by the attractive Coulomb field.

AB Organic extractants capable of selective and efficient removal of actinides such as plutonium and americium from aqueous process waste streams are potentially useful in radioactive waste remediation. In this context, with the help of molecular modelling, the 4-tert-butylcalix[4]arene tetrahydroxamate chelators 1 and 2 have been identified as structures capable of achieving the selective solvent extraction of actinide(iv) ions from aqueous solutions. The syntheses of 1 and 2 from 4-tert-butylcalix[4]arene have been accomplished in moderate yields using short synthetic sequences. Some extraction studies have been performed using Th4+ (as a surrogate for Pu4+), Fe3+, UO22+ and Cu2+ to estimate the metal ion selectivity and extraction efficacy of these chelators. Our preliminary results show these ligands are capable of extracting thorium(IV) efficiently but that they may not be selective for its extraction in the presence of iron(III).

AB A series of cycled Ni battery plate materials has been examined by means of inelastic neutron scattering spectroscopy in order to determine the nature of the protons in the discharged and cycled material. Our results clearly demonstrate that some amount of the NiOOH phases which form on oxidation does not convert back to p-Ni(OH), upon discharging the battery and that this amount increases with the number of cycles the battery undergoes. Moreover, we have identified vibrational signatures of lattice water and found that its amount increases with KOH concentration used in the cell. Since cells operated at higher KOH concentrations are known to fail after fewer cycles, our inelastic neutron scattering studies clearly implicate the irreversible formation of lattice water as one of the main reasons for this failure.

AB A high-resolution probe consisting of two platinum microelectrodes, 10 mu m in diameter, that permits localized electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements was developed and tested. The measurements were made using platinum disks as current sources with defined geometry in an insulating plane. The ac current distribution measured in solution using the probe was compared with analytical solutions and computer simulations. The spatial resolution of the probe was tested and defined by varying the height of the probe and the distance between the microelectrodes.

AB We propose a new model for the chromic mechanism in amorphous tungsten oxide films (WO3-y. nH(2)O). This model not only explains a variety of seemingly conflicting experimental results reported in the literature that cannot be explained by existing models, it also has practical implications with respect to improving the coloring efficiency and durability of electrochromic devices. According to this model, a typical as-deposited tungsten oxide film has tungsten mainly in W6+ and W4+ states and can be represented as W1-y6+Wy4+O3-y. nH(2)O. The proposed chromic mechanism is based on the small polaron transition between the charge-induced W5+ state and the original W4+ state instead of the W5+ and W6+ states as suggested in previous models. The correlation between the electrochromic and photochromic behavior in amorphous tungsten oxide films is also discussed.

ID ANHYDROUS HNO3; TRANSPORT; MEMBRANES; MEDIA
AB The method for the electrosynthesis of N2O5 in nitric acid hy anodic oxidation of N2O4 has been scaled up to produce quantities of 15 to 50 kg of solution containing 20 to 30 weight percent N2O5. A two- or three-cell, divided, plate-and- frame electrolyzer operated in the bipolar mode was employed to test various combinations of candidate electrode coatings and separators, and to study the electrochemical characteristics of the process. Two sizes of electrolyzers were used, each having single-electrode areas of 0.096 and 0.25 m(2). The best performing anode/substrate materials were either Pt-Lr on niobium, or IrO2 on aluminum; the best cathode materials were Pt or Pt-Ir on niobium. The preferred cell separator is a hydrophilic, porous polytetrafluorene-ethylene diaphragm, but an FEP-polymer anion-exchange membrane is also satisfactory. Production of N2O5 was achieved with chemical yields of 80 to 90% and current efficiencies of 50 to 70%. Maximum current densities were in the range of 0.1 to 0.2 A cm(-2); Cell voltages were 3 to 5 V and specific energies were 1.6 to 1.8 kWh kg(-1). In the electrolyzer catholyte, N2O4 is generated at nearly theoretical yield, and could be recovered and recycled as an anolyte feedstock. The E-0' of the N2O5/N2O4 couple in anhydrous nitric acid was estimated to be + 1.66 +/- 0.02 V vs. SHE.

ID GAN; INN
AB A comparison of etch rates for AlxGa1-xN alloys was performed in Cl-2/Ar and BCl3/Ar electron cyclotron resonance plasmas. The etch rates were generally found to decrease with increasing AlN concentration, due to the increasing average bond strengths at higher Al compositions. The fastest rates were found in the Cl-2/Ar chemistry, with rates of similar to 3500 Angstrom/min for GaN, 1700 Angstrom/min for AlN, 2500 Angstrom/min for Al0.31Ga0.69N, and 3300 Angstrom/min for Al0.2Ga0.8N. The etched surfaces were also smoother with the Cl-2/Ar plasma chemistry than the BCl3/Ar plasma chemistry. The etch selectivities for GaN over Al0.2Ga0.8N, Al(0.3)1Ga(0.69)N, and AlN were quite low, less than or equal to 5 for all conditions, and this is due to the ion-driven nature of the removal mechanism.

Two PL emission bands are observed. a band centered at 560 nm is present in as-implanted samples and it is still observed after 1000 degrees C annealing. The emission time is fast. A second band centered at 780 nm is detected after 1000 degrees C annealing. The intensity of the 780 nm band further increased when hydrogen annealing was performed. The emission time is long (1 mu s to 0.2 ms). PAS results show that defects produced by implantation anneal at 600 degrees C. Based on the annealing behavior and on the emission times, the origin of the two bands is discussed.

ID PERFORMANCE
AB Previously we have determined, with a full field of view, the relative contributions of scotopic and photopic luminance to pupil size at light levels typical of building interiors. Those studies were carried out in a white room with uniform reflectance, and with the viewed surfaces having an approximately uniform luminance distribution. To enhance the usefulness of the past results to lighting practice, we have constructed a "simulated office" where the viewed walls can have one of four very different colors, with quite different luminance distributions. This allows examination of interaction effects between wall spectral reflectivity and light source spectral distribution.
In the present study pupil sizes were obtained while subjects were viewing a very small screen television. A remote pupillometer was used, allowing subjects to sit in a comfortable chair without the inconvenience of chin rests or head gear Seventeen subjects between the ages of 27 and 47 years were studied using illumination provided by conventional lamps, either a WW or a daylight lamp. Pupil size variation was predicted by the value of the scotopic vertical illuminance at the eye. Even though the WW lamps are 50 per cent more efficacious than daylight light lamps in terms of photopic lumens per watt, daylight lamps can be as much as twice as efficacious in eliciting pupil size.

AB We present two perimeter daylighting systems that passively redirect beam sunlight further from the window wall using special optical films, an optimized geometry, and a small glazing aperture. The objectives of these systems are to increase daylight illuminance levels at 4.6-9.1 m (15-30 ft) from the window aperture with minimum solar heat gains and to improve the uniformity of the daylighting luminance gradient across the room under variable solar conditions throughout the year. The designs were developed through a series of computer-assisted ray-tracing studies, laser visualization techniques, and photometric measurements and observations using physical scale models. Bi-directional illuminance measurements in combination with analytical routines were then used to simulate daylight performance for any solar position, and were incorporated into the DOE-2.1E building energy analysis computer program to evaluate energy savings. Results show increased daylight levels and an improved luminance gradient throughout the year compared to conventional daylighting systems.

The current stock of residential lighting is described by usage level, lamp wattage, fixture type, and location within the house. Data are discussed which indicate that 27 percent of incandescent residential fixtures are responsible for over 80 percent of residential lighting energy use, and justify targeting these fixtures as candidates for retrofit with energy efficient fixtures. Fixtures determined to have the highest energy use are hardwired ceiling fixtures in kitchens, portable fixtures in living/family rooms, hardwired fixtures in dining rooms, and hardwired outdoor fixtures. An assessment of the market for residential fixtures shows that nearly half of new residential fixtures are imported, about 60 percent of new fixtures sold are hardwired, and about half of all new fixtures sold are for ceiling installation.

AB A scanning transmission X-ray microscope (STXM) has been applied to study TiSe2/NbSe2 superlattices crystallized from an elementally modulated film. The STXM images show that the superlattice sample has structures with sizes on the order of one micrometer in the x-y plane. X-ray absorption spectra (XAS) show that the titanium in the structure is in the form of a mixture of crystalline TiSe2 and metallic Ti. The structure shows interfacial nucleation of the layers in the kinetic trapping method with different domain sizes for different sets of TiSe2 and NbSe2 layer numbers in a unit-cell. The XAS obtained using the STXM provide detailed chemical and structural information generally not available using conventional total electron yield detection.

AB Our investigations of device Lifetime and the main degradation mechanisms in Nichia blue LEDs date back to Spring 1994. Following the initial studies of rapid failures under high current electrical pulses, where metal migration was identified as the cause of degradation, we have placed a number of Nichia NLPB-500 LEDs on a series of Life tests. The first test ran for 1000 hours under normal operating conditions (20 mA at 23 degrees C). As no noticeable degradation was observed, the second room temperature test involved the same devices but with a range of currents between 20 and 70 mA. After 1600 hours, some degradation was observed in devices driven at 60 and 70 mA, but it was still less than 20%. The subsequent tests, still underway, included stepping up the temperature by 10 degrees C in 500 h intervals, with currents the same as in the second test. This work reviews the failure analysis that was performed on the degraded devices and the degradation mechanisms that were identified. Also, preliminary data on high current degradation of quantum-well LEDs is reported.

AB Electrons on a magnetic sphere is studied using the composite Fermion picture, and the relationship between the value of the degeneracy NL of the lowest electron energy shell and the number of electrons N is examined for a given Laughlin condensed state. Phenomenological quasiparticle energies and their interactions are used to evaluate the ground state energies of the closed composite Fermion shells having fillings of v=2/5 and 2/7. For states close to the Laughlin v=1/3 state, the lowest energy sector of the energy spectrum is compared in two different mean-field composite Fermion descriptions.

AB Bacteria, while known to be an integral part of all ecosystems, are seldom studied except as a single taxonomic unit. Few ecological studies even acknowledge the extraordinary functional and species diversity of bacteria. Recent research has elucidated some important facts about bacteria in stream ecosystems. For instance, the dynamics of bacterial genomes within a stream suggest that populations of these organisms are more stable temporally than spatially. We develop predictive models and testable hypotheses based on the information spiraling concept to describe the ecology of stream bacteria and to define 2 new terms: colonization distance and information length Colonization distance (D-c) is the maximum distance downstream from original colony establishment at which a new colony of bacteria can be established. Information length (L-l) is defined as the maximum length over which a gene has an effect on an ecosystem process independent of a specific host. These terms are modeled relative to the average temporal energy load (joules/min) in the stream. Energy inputs that exceed biologically defined limits of use result in ecosystem energy leaks regardless of information length. Our models predict that information length should be shorter in montane streams than in Coastal plain streams of southeastern USA. Furthermore, assuming equal average energy load between streams, the stream with the largest energy load variance will leak more energy downstream. Therefore, temperate streams should be less efficient than tropical streams at utilizing energy within a reach.

AB The effect of repeated radiative energy transfer on the observed excited-state lifetime tau(obs) Of a luminescent species in a solid is studied by Monte Carlo simulations. Increasing the sample path length, the reabsorption coefficient, or the luminescence quantum yield significantly lengthens tau(obs), relative to its intrinsic value tau(0). This effect is additionally amplified by total internal reflection. Room-temperature lifetimes of F-2(5/2) in YAG:1%Yb3+ and I-4(11/2) in YLF:5%Er3+ were measured in a spherically refractive-index-matched geometry, yielding the low values of 0.9489 +/- 0.0006 and 3.75 +/- 0.01 ms, respectively. It is concluded that lifetimes obtained from non-refractive-index matched experiments are usually significantly overestimated. The technique presented is easily applicable to room-temperature excited-state lifetime measurements of many luminescent solids. (C) 1997 Optical Society of America.

Gains greater than 300 cm(-1) are predicted for the Ni-like Mo 4d S-1(0) --> 4p P-1(1) transition at 18.9 nm, which is driven by the monopole collisional excitation.

AB The Department of Energy's Advanced Turbine Systems (ATS) program is aimed at fostering the development of a new generation of land-based gas turbine systems with overall efficiencies significantly beyond those of current state-of-the-art machines, as well as greatly increased times between inspection and refurbishment, improved environmental impact, and decreased cost, The proposed duty cycle of ATS machines will emphasize different criteria in the selection of materials for the critical components. In particular, thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) will be an essential feature of the hot gas path components in these machines, The goals of the ATS will require significant improvements in TBC technology, since these turbines will be totally reliant on TBCs, which will be required to function on critical components such as the first-stage vanes and blades for times considerably longer than those experienced in current applications, Important issues include the mechanical and chemical stability of the ceramic layer and the metallic bond coat, the thermal expansion characteristics and compliance of the ceramic layer, and the thermal conductivity across the thickness of the ceramic layer.

AB An exceptionally well preserved specimen of the tyrannosaurid dinosaur Tyrannosaurus rex Osborn shows little evidence of permineralization or other diagenetic effects. It appears that the cancellous bone tissues of the specimen may have been protected from water infiltration or mineral deposition by the very dense cortical bone which surrounds them. The cancellous tissues provided an opportunity to test the hypothesis that indigenous biomolecules might be preserved over the course of millions of years under the appropriate conditions. HPLC analysis of extracts from the bone tissues revealed the presence of molecules with light absorbance maxima consistent with nucleic acids and peptides/proteins. Analyses of bone extracts for amino acid content yielded ratios similar to those found for modern ostrich and horse bone. A high molar glycine ratio and the presence of hydroxylysine peaks in bony tissue samples from the T. rex suggests the presence of collagen type I remnants. Results indicate that the analyzed tissue contains numerous biomolecules. While some of the biomolecules are most likely contaminants, the probable presence of collagen type I suggests that some molecules of dinosaurian origin remain in these tissues.

AB The complex evolutionary process of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is marked by a high level of genetic variation. It has been shown that the HIV-1 genome is characterized by variable and more constant regions, unequal nucleotide frequencies, and preference for G-to-A substitutions. However, this knowledge has largely been neglected in phylogenetic analyses of HIV-1 nucleotide sequences, even though these analyses are applied to a number of important biological questions. The purpose of this study,vas to identify a realistic model of HIV-1 evolution and to statistically test if the application of such a model significantly improves the accuracy of phylogenetic analyses. A unique and recently reported HIV-1 transmission cluster consisting of nine infected individuals, for whom the direction and time for each transmission were exactly known, formed the basis for the analyses which were performed under a general model of nucleotide substitution using population sequences from the env V3 and p17(gag) regions of the HIV-1 genome. Examination of seven different substitution models by maximum-likelihood methods revealed that the fit of the general reversible (REV) model was significantly better than that of simpler models, indicating that it is important to account for the asymmetric substitution pattern of HIV-1 and that the nucleotide substitution rate varied significantly across sites. The shape parameter alpha, which describes the variation across sites by a gamma distribution, was estimated to be 0.38 and 0.25 for env V3 and p17(gag), respectively. In env V3, the estimated average transition/ transversion rate ratio was 1.42. Thus, the REV model with variable rates across sites (described by a gamma distribution) provides the best description of HIV-1 evolution, whereas simple models are unrealistic and inaccurate. It is likely that the accuracy of phylogenetic studies of HIV-1 and many other viruses would improve substantially by the use of more realistic nucleotide substitution models. This is especially true when attempts are made to estimate the age of distant viral ancestors from contemporary viral sequences.

AB The vulnerability of periphyton and gazers to current and future levels of ultraviolet radiation (UV) has important ramifications for energy flow in shallow waters. We reduced ambient UV levels in a Tennessee stream with UV-opaque Plexiglas suspended over the stream and compared periphyton under these Plexiglas filters to periphyton under UV-transparent polyvinylidene film. The experiments were performed three times, from autumn 1993 to summer 1994. The last experiment included a treatment with reduced snail densities, so potential interactions between grazing and UV could be identified. Periphyton biomass and photosynthesis were not significantly affected by reduced UV in any of the three experiments, indicating ambient UV effects were minor, at most. Grazing by snails (Elimia clavaeformis) tightly controlled periphyton biomass and primary production in all three experiments. Snail densities were not significantly affected by ambient UV, eliminating the possibility of a solar cascade of indirect effects. Snails may be less vulnerable to UV than are soft-bodied gazers such as chironomids, and periphyton in southern U.S. streams may be adapted to naturally high levels of UV. The results of this study clearly imply that previous reports of UV impacts on periphyton and gazers cannot be generalized.

AB The synthesis and drug release properties of crosslinked N-isopropylacrylamide (NiPAAm) copolymer coatings on the surface of a hydrophobic poly(ester-urethane) tubing were examined. A method was designed to coat hydrophobic polymer surface with a thermosensitive gel layer. Crosslinked NiPAAm copolymer coatings were synthesized using W-initiated polymerization. The feasibility of using NiPAAm based gels as heparin releasing thermosensitive coatings was investigated. Heparin, a high molecular weight hydrophilic solute, was loaded into hydrogels using a simple solution sorption technique. The release of heparin from NiPAAm copolymer gel coatings was compared to that of crosslinked NiPAAm copolymers. The gel coatings demonstrated a more gradual and prolonged heparin release as compared to gel disks of the same composition.

AB A simple, fluorescence based imaging system has been developed that is capable of identifying regions of thermal damage in polymer matrix composites (PMCs). These materials are playing an increasingly important role in the production of high performance vehicles and air-craft, where their low weight and high mechanical strength, combined with advancements in manufacturing technology ensure increased use for a variety of applications. Of particular concern in the aerospace industry is the tendency of some PMC materials to become irreversibly damaged when exposed to elevated temperatures. Traditional nondestructive testing (NDT) techniques are capable of defecting physical anomalies such as cracks and delaminations but cannot detect initial heat damage, which occurs on a molecular scale. Spectroscopic techniques such as laser induced fluorescence provide an attractive means for detecting this type of damage and are amenable to imaging large, irregularly shaped surfaces. In this report we describe instrumentation capable of rapidly detecting thermal damage in graphite epoxy components and suggest improvements which will enable this technology to make quantitative judgments concerning the mechanical strength properties of heat damaged specimens.

AB Low-density Si3N4 spheroidal beads 3-4 mm in diameter have been made by an alginate route starting from Si3N4 powder. The beads have been characterized by chemical, X-ray diffraction and compression test techniques. The ability of the beads to couple with microwave power has been investigated in nitrogen atmosphere at fixed frequency of 2.45 GHz at power levels to 5 kW, and at variable frequency from 4-6.5 GHz at power levels to 1.4 kW. The beads showed no signs of deterioration in nitrogen at temperatures up to 1800 degrees C, and seem promising as high-temperature microwave furnace insulation. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.

AB Superior abrasive wear resistance, combined with relatively low production costs, makes high Cr white cast irons (WCIs) particularly attractive for applications in the grinding, milling, and pumping apparatus used to process hard materials. Hypoeutectic, eutectic, and hypereutectic cast iron compositions, containing either 15 or 26 wt pct chromium, were studied with respect to the macrostructural transitions of the castings, solidification paths, and resulting microstructures when poured with varying superheats. Completely equiaxed macrostructures were produced in thick section castings with slightly hypereutectic compositions. High-stress abrasive wear tests were then performed on the various alloys to examine the influence of both macrostructure and microstructure on wear resistance. Results indicated that the alloys with a primarily austenitic matrix had a higher abrasion resistance than similar alloys with a pearlitic/bainitic matrix. Improvement in abrasion resistance was partially attributed to the ability of the austenite to transform to martensite at the wear surface during the abrasion process.

ID IRRADIATION
AB The irradiation response of mobile H+ in the buried oxide of SOI materials is investigated as a function of applied electric field during irradiation. It is observed that H+ trapping occurs near the substrate Si/SiO2 interface during irradiation under positive top Si bias (Eox 2 +0.2 MV/cm); this effect is not observed when the irradiation is performed in the absence of bias or under negative bias. Post irradiation proton detrapping data show that the positive bias/irradiation combination activates a shallow proton trap in the buried oxide near the substrate Si/SiO2 interface.

AB The fact that silicon-on-insulator (SOI) ICs are built on an insulating layer gives them unique advantages in radiation environments. SOI ICs are inherently less prone to single-event effects and high dose rate transient effects. However, floating body bipolar effects can limit the hardness of SOI devices unless steps are taken to reduce them. The buried oxide of a SOI transistor makes total-dose response more complex and hardening more challenging than for bulk-silicon ICs. If proper measures are taken to harden SOI ICs, they can have significant performance and hardness advantages over bulk-silicon ICs in space and nuclear environments.

AB We have synthesized monolithic, surfactant-templated particulate gels that have pore volumes and surface areas comparable to silica xerogels and aerogels. The gels have a complex microstructure with micro-, meso- and macroscopic features that emerge over five orders of magnitude in length (1) amorphous silica walls (characterized by a broad distribution of Si-Si spacings of approximate to 0.4 nm), (2) periodic hexagonal arrays of 1-d channels within each particle (approximate to 3 nm channel diameter), (3) a feature in the gas adsorption measurements that indicates a second class of approximate to 10-50 nm diameter mesopores, (4) particles that are approximate to 150 to approximate to 500 nm in diameter, (5) interparticle pores that are on the order of the particle size, and (6) fractal domains larger than the particle size (>10 000 nm). The microstructure can be controlled by the varying the initial silica content, the template size, the drying conditions, or the calcination conditions. The wet gel monoliths exhibit calculated densities as low as approximate to 0.02 g/cm(3); the dried and calcined gels have bulk densities that range from 0.3 to 0.5 g/cm(3). The materials possess large interparticle (1.1-2.2 cm(3)/g) and intraparticle (0.3-0.6 cm(3)/g) porosities. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.

AB This study evaluated the effect of hepatic methyl donor status on the ability of sodium arsenite (2.5, 5.0 and 10.0 mg/kg) administered by gavage once on four consecutive days to induce DNA damage in male B6C3F1 mice. Maintenance on a choline-deficient (CD) diet prior to treatment resulted in mice with hepatic methyl donor deficiency (HMDD) and altered arsenical metabolism, as demonstrated by a decreased total urinary excretion of inorganic and organic arsenicals. The alkaline (pH greater than 13) Single Cell Gel (SCG) assay was used to evaluate for the induction of DNA damage (single strand breaks, alkali labile sites, DNA crosslinking) in blood leukocytes, liver parenchymal cells, and cells sampled from bladder, lung, and skin, while the bone marrow erythrocyte micronucleus (MN) assay was used to assess for the induction of chromosomal damage in bone marrow cells. Treatment with sodium arsenite one or four times induced a significant decrease in DNA migration (indicative of DNA crosslinking) in bladder and liver parenchymal cells of hepatic methyl donor sufficient (HMDS) mice, but in skin cells of HMDD mice. Both HMDD and HMDS mice exhibited a significant increase in the frequency of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes (MN-PCE) in bone marrow following four, but not following one, treatments. However, the positive response occurred at a lower dose for HMDS mice and, in these mice, bone marrow toxicity, as demonstrated by a significant reduction in the percentage of PCE, was present also. These results indicate that hepatic methyl donors deficiency significantly decreases the total urinary excretion of orally administered sodium arsenite and markedly modulates target organ arsenic-induced DNA damage, with an apparent shift from liver and bladder to skin.

AB Neural network-based modeling often involves trying multiple networks with different architectures and training parameters in order to achieve acceptable model accuracy. Typically, one of the trained networks is chosen as best, while the rest are discarded. Hashem and Schmeiser (1995) proposed using optimal linear combinations of a number of trained neural networks instead of using a single best network. Combining the trained networks may help integrate the knowledge acquired by the components networks and thus improve model accuracy. In this paper, we extend the idea of optimal linear combinations (OLCs) of neural networks and discuss issues related to the generalization ability of the combined model. We then present two algorithms for selecting the component networks for the combination to improve the generalization ability of OLCs. Our experimental results demonstrate significant improvements in model accuracy, as a result of using OLCs, compared to using the apparent best network. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.

The entire process of premature saturation is characterized by three distinct stages, and it is concluded that the momentum term plays the leading role in the occurrence of the phenomenon. The necessary conditions for the occurrence of premature saturation are presented, and a method is proposed, based on these conditions, that eliminates the occurrence of the phenomenon.

AB The efficacy of external flooding of a reactor vessel as a severe accident management strategy is assessed for an AP600-like reactor design. The overall approach is based on the risk oriented accident analysis methodology (ROAAM) and the assessment includes consideration of bounding scenarios and sensitivity studies, as well as arbitrary parametric evaluations that allow for the delineation of the failure boundaries. The: technical treatment in this assessment includes: (a) new data on energy flow from either volumetrically heated pools or non-heated layers on top, boiling and critical heat flux in inverted, curved geometries, emissivity of molten (superheated) samples of steel, and chemical reactivity proof tests; (b) a simple but accurate mathematical formulation that allows prediction of thermal loads by means of convenient hand calculations; (c) a detailed model programmed on the computer to sample input parameters over the uncertainty ranges, and to produce probability distributions of thermal loads and margins for departure from nucleate boiling at each angular position on the lower head; and (d) detailed structural evaluations that demonstrate that departure from nucleate boiling is a necessary and sufficient criterion for failure. Quantification of the input parameters is carried out for an AP600-like design, and the results of the assessment demonstrate that lower head failure is 'physically unreasonable.' Use of this conclusion for any specific application is subject to verifying the required reliability of the depressurization an cavity-flooding systems, and to showing the appropriateness (in relation to the database presented here, or by further testing as necessary) of the thermal insulation design and of the external surface properties of the lower head, Including any applicable coatings.

AB This paper summarizes the results of a reactor-scale ex-vessel boiling experiment for assessing the flooded cavity design of the heavy water new production reactor. The simulated reactor vessel has a cylindrical diameter of 3.7 m and a torispherical bottom head. Boiling outside the reactor vessel was found to be subcooled nucleate boiling. The subcooling mainly results from the gravity head, which in turn results from flooding the side of the reactor vessel. The boiling process exhibits a cyclic pattern with four distinct phases: direct liquid-solid contact. bubble nucleation and growth, coalescence, and vapor mass dispersion. The results show that, under prototypic heat load and heat flux distributions, the flooded cavity will be effective for in-vessel core retention in the heavy water new production reactor. The results also demonstrate that the heat dissipation requirement for in-vessel core retention, for the central region of the lower head of an AP-600 advanced light water reactor, can be met with the flooded cavity design.

First, the molybdenum charge state distribution (CSD) is computed using the best available atomic physics data for ground state recombination and ionization, including the rates of excitation-autoionization for Mo6+ to Mo13+ and Mo23+ to Mo32+. The emissivities of Mo4+ to Mo41+ are then found using a collisional-radiative model such that the contributions from metastable levels to an ion's emissivity are taken into account. The CSD and the radiative emissivity for all molybdenum ions are combined to yield the total radiative cooling coefficient for molybdenum in a low density plasma. A radiative loss coefficient over 2 orders of magnitude smaller than that predicted by an 'average ion' model for temperatures relevant to tokamak divertor and scrape-off layer plasmas (T-e less than or similar to 50 eV) is found. The cooling coefficient of the present work varies from a factor of 2 smaller to a factor of 2 larger than that predicted by the 'average ion' model for all other plasma temperatures. The coefficient calculated in the present work is benchmarked against the measured bolometric loss profile from a molybdenum dominated shot in the Frascati Tokamak Upgrade (FTU).

TI The measurement of the intrinsic impurities of molybdenum and carbon in
the Alcator C-Mod tokamak plasma using low resolution spectroscopy

AB The intrinsic impurity content of molybdenum and carbon was measured in the Alcator C-Mod tokamak using low resolution, multilayer mirror (MLM) spectroscopy (Delta lambda similar to 1-10 Angstrom). Molybdenum was the dominant high-Z impurity and originated from the molybdenum armour tiles covering all of the plasma facing surfaces (including the inner column, the poloidal divertor plates and the ion cyclotron resonant frequency (ICRF) limiter:) at Alcator C-Mod. Despite the all metal first wall, a carbon concentration of 1 to 2% existed in the plasma and was the major low-Z impurity in Alcator C-Mod. Thus, the behaviour of intrinsic molybdenum and carbon penetrating into the main plasma and the effect on the plasma must be measured and characterized during various modes of Alcator C-Mod operation. To this end, soft X ray extreme ultraviolet (XUV) emission lines of charge states, ranging from hydrogen-like to helium-like lines of carbon (radius/minor radius, r/a similar to 1) at the plasma edge to potassium- to chlorine-like (0.4 < r/a < 0.6) and magnesium- to sodium-like (r/a < 0.4) lines of molybdenum in the main plasma, were measured using a novel, low resolution, photometrically calibrated polychromator with MLMs as dispersive elements. The MLM spectra were investigated in detail, and comparisons with high resolution spectroscopy were made. The utility of low resolution spectroscopy to diagnose tokamak plasmas is presented, and meaningful information about impurity behaviour was obtainable owing to the specific choice of the observed spectral regions. Ab initio physics rates from the HULLAC atomic physics package were input into the collisional radiative (CR) model and the multiple ionization state transport (MIST) code, and both MIST and the CR model were used in the interpretation of the molybdenum spectrum. The carbon spectrum was interpreted using the MIST code and the direct impact rates of Itikawa (Itakawa, Y., et al., At Data Nucl. Data Tables 33 (1985) 149), which were incorporated into the collisional radiative model. The intrinsic ion concentrations, their contribution to the Z(eff) value, and the power losses through Line radiation were estimated. For the diverted ohmically heated plasma examined, the intrinsic molybdenum and carbon concentrations in the core plasma were found to be similar to 1.2x10(10) and similar to 1.7x10(12) cm(-3), respectively. These measurements were obtained before the plasma facing components were boronized. The calculated radiated power from molybdenum was 170 kW; for carbon it was 45 kW. The contribution to the measured Z(eff)-1 value of similar to 0.8 was similar to 0.11 for molybdenum and similar to 0.5 for carbon.

DE Coulomb excitation; radioactive beams; inverse kinematics
AB Two techniques for determining B(E2:0(1)(+)--> 2(1)(+)) values using low-energy Coulomb excitation of Radioactive Nuclear Beams in inverse kinematics are presented. One method, applicable if the lifetime of the excited state is similar to 1 ns, uses a linear array of NaI(T1) detectors to measure the decay curve, and thus the 2(1)(+) state lifetime, for Coulomb excited radioactive beam nuclei as they decay in flight downstream from a carbon excitation target. In the second method, useful when lifetimes are short, <1 ns, or for low intensity beams, a through-well NaI(T1) detector is used to measure the Coulomb excitation cross section from which the B(E2:0:(+)(1)--> 2(1)(+)) value is calculated. The results of test experiments with beams of stable Os isotopes are presented.

AB Identification of the spectrum of non- exotica such as glueballs, hybrids and molecules will require a detailed understanding of radially and orbitally excited quarkonia, since these states are a background to non- states. The data likely to become available experimentally on these higher-mass resonances are their total widths and strong branching fractions to dominant modes. We advocate the use of these branching fractions to distinguish quarkonia from exotica; in this contribution we summarize our recent detailed P-3(0) decay model calculations of the 374 two-body open-flavor decay modes of the 32 lightest states above 1S and 1P, which should be useful for this program.

AB Results are presented of the spin-parity analysis on a sample of centrally produced mesons in the reaction pp-->p(slow)(KsKs)p(fast) with 800 GeV protons on liquid hydrogen. The spin-parity analysis in the mass region between threshold and 1.58 GeV/c(2) shows that the KsKs system is produced mainly in S wave. The f(0)(1500) is clearly observed in this region. Above 1.58 GeV/c(2) two solution are possible, one with mainly S wave and another with mainly D wave. This ambiguity prevents a unique determination of the spin of the f(J)(1710) meson.

AB The study of CPT invariance with the highest achievable precision in all particle sectors is of fundamental importance for physics. Equally important is the question of the gravitational acceleration of antimatter. In recent years impressive progress has been achieved in capturing antiprotons in specially designed Penning traps, in cooling them to energies of a few milli-electron volts, and in storing them for hours in a small volume of space. Positrons have been accumulated in large numbers in similar traps, and low energy positron or positronium beams have been generated. Finally, steady progress has been made in trapping and cooling neutral atoms. Thus the ingredients to form antihydrogen at rest are at hand. Once antihydrogen atoms have been captured at low energy, spectroscopic methods can be applied to interrogate their atomic structure with extremely high precision and compare it to its normal matter counterpart, the hydrogen atom. Especially the 1S-2S transition, with a lifetime of the excited state of 122 msec and thereby a natural linewidth of 5 parts in 10(16), offers in principle the possibility to directly compare matter and antimatter properties at a level B1 of 1 part in 10(18).

TI Alkaline peroxide processing of low-enriched uranium targets for Mo-99
production - Decomposition of hydrogen peroxide
SO NUCLEAR SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING
LA English
DT Article
AB The recent progress on the alkaline peroxide processing of low-enriched uranium targets for the production of Mo-99, a parent nuclide of the widely used medical isotope Tc-99m, is reported. Kinetic studies were undertaken to investigate the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide in alkaline solution in contact with a uranium metal surface. It was found that the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide essentially follows the kinetic trend of uranium dissolution and can be classified into two regimes, depending on the hydroxide concentration. In the low-base regime (<0.2 M), both the hydrogen peroxide and hydroxide concentrations affect the rate of peroxide decomposition. In the high-base regime (>0.2 M), the rate of peroxide decomposition is independent of alkali concentration. When the acid/base equilibrium between H2O2 and O2H- is taken into account, the overall rate of hydrogen peroxide disappearance can be described as a 0.25th order reaction with respect to hydrogen peroxide concentration over NaOH concentrations ranging from 0.01 to 5 M. Empirical kinetics models are proposed and discussed.

DT Article
AB Nonproliferation concerns leading to the conversion from high- to low-enriched uranium sparked interest in U3Si2 dispersion targets as an option for Mo-99 production. Dissolution of irradiated targets is an important step in recovering fission-product Mo-99. Alkaline hydrogen peroxide solutions dissolved U3Si2 particles in an open batch reactor; samples were analyzed for total peroxide and uranium concentrations as functions of time and temperature. Dissolution rates are highest at 1 to 1.5 M NaON and change little for initial base concentrations from 0.5 to 2.5 M NaON, indicating relatively robust process conditions. Uranium dissolution rates depend most strongly on the equilibrium concentration of the peroxyl ion (O2H-), an equilibrium product of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and hydroxyl ion (OH-). Temperature and equilibrium concentrations of O2H- and OH- are included in a uranium dissolution rate model.

Complexes formed in vitro using linearized plasmid DNA were imaged and measured by atomic force microscopy (AFM). The structures formed were found to be highly dependent on the sample preparation method used for reconstitution. Interstrand, side-by-side fasiculation of DNA and toroidal-like structures only 1-2 DNA diameters thick were observed for complexes formed in solution following direct mixing of the DNA and protamine. Large chromatin aggregates were also observed on the mica. However, if the DNA was first allowed to attach to the mica prior to addition of the protamine, well-defined toroidal complexes were formed without any observed DNA fasiculation or aggregate formation. The diameter of the toroids measured 30.6-50.2 nm (mean 39.4 nm). The dimensions of these structures indicate that the condensed DNA is stacked vertically by four to five turns, with each coil containing as little as 360-370 bp of 'B'-form DNA. This approach for preparing and imaging DNA-protamine complexes permits the analysis of intermediate structures 'trapped' on the mica as partially formed toruses of nucleoprotamine.

ID MODEL; GAS
AB The flow and heat transfer in a vertical high-speed rotating disk/stagnation flow chemical vapor deposition (CVD) reactor is studied with particular emphasis on the effects of the spacing (H) over bar between the stationary gas inlet and the rotating disk. In both one- and two-dimensional (1-D and 2-D) analyses the Navier-Stokes and energy equations are soh,ed for hydrogen to determine the effects of (H) over bar, flow rate, disk spin rate, buoyancy, and finite geometry on the gas flow patterns and the heat transfer from Be disk. The I-D results show that the heat transfer from the rotating disk, Nu(1D), depends on the flow parameter (SP = \<(mu)over bar>(in)\/root<(omega)over bar><(nu)over bar>(in)) and the disk Reynolds number (Re-omega = (r) over bar(d)(2)<(omega)over bar>/<(nu)over bar>(in)) to a much greater extent at smaller spacings A = (H) over bar/(r) over bar(d) = 0.54) than at larger spacings (A = 2.16). For SP values of 0.92 and 4.5 and for both spacings studied, Nu(1D) approaches the value for an infinite rotating disk in a semi-infinite medium for Re-omega > 450 approximately, except for the case at SP = 4.5 and A = 0.54, where Nu(1D) is significantly larger. The 2-D results show a larger effect of Sp on the radial variation of Nu(2D) for larger values of A (the uniformity of Nu(2D) is improved significantly at the larger A when the inlet velocity matches the asymptotic value for an infinite rotating disk). For both values of A there is greater nonuniformity of Nu(2D) at the larger value of SP; when the disk is ''starved'' (SP = 0.23, Re-omega = 456), there is gas recirculation above the rotating disk. The results are only slightly affected when (r) over bar(0)/(r) over bar(d) is varied by approximately 30% (from 1.1 to 1.4) for the conditions SP = 0.23, A = 0.54, and Re-omega = 456.

ID HEAT-TRANSFER
AB Parallelism for gray participating-media radiation heat transfer may be placed in two primary categories: spatial and angular domain-based parallelism. Angular-based decomposition is limited for large-scale applications, however, given the memory required to store the spatial grid on each processor. Therefore, the objective of this work is to examine the application of spatial domain-based parallelism to large-scale, three-dimensional, participating-media radiation transport calculations using a massively parallel supercomputer architecture. Both scaled and fixed problem size efficiencies are presented for an application of the discrete ordinate method to a three-dimensional, nonscattering radiative transport application with nonuniform absorptivity. The data presented show that the spatial domain-based decomposition paradigm results in some degradation in the parallel efficiency but provides useful speed-up for large computational grids.

The formalism leads to a simple but exact expression for the single-particle distribution of the final states. As an example, me discuss a particular model used in high-energy parton-parton and e(+)e(-) scatterings - the independent jet fragmentation model. The universality and simplicity of the probability description allow us to apply our formalism to various physical processes of fragmentation nature.

PATTERNS; COEXISTENCE; THRESHOLDS; DISPERSAL; INDEXES
AB Neutral landscape models (NLMs) were developed from percolation theory nearly a decade ago. Since then, the original random percolation maps have undergone adaptive radiation and NLMs now include a diverse array of spatially explicit models based on theoretical distributions derived from fractal geometry and spectral synthesis. The purpose of NLMs is to provide null models of landscape structure as a baseline for comparison with real landscape patterns, or for evaluating the effects of landscape structure on ecological processes. As the use of NLMs has expanded beyond the domain of theoretical landscape ecology to applications in other areas of ecology, there is an increased risk that NLMs will be used inappropriately, or that their function will be misunderstood or misinterpreted. NLMs are being subjected to the same general criticisms levied against null models in other areas of ecology. For this reason, we clarify the purpose of NLMs, review the contributions of NLMs to ecology, and evaluate the appropriate use of NLMs in ecological research. NLMs have already made several contributions to ecology: (1) development of spatial indices to describe landscape patterns; (2) prediction of critical thresholds in ecological phenomena; (3) definition of landscape connectivity; (4) development of ''species' perceptions'' of landscape structure; (5) provision of a general model of spatial complexity; and (6) determination of the ecological consequences of spatial heterogeneity. In the future, emphasis on NLMs should shift from theoretical development to application and model testing.

AB Ideal Free Distributions (IFD) have successfully been used to describe the spatial distributions of animals in heterogeneous or patchy environments over relatively small areas. Ideal Free theory and the logic underlying it have recently been used to describe animal distributions over large landscapes and in doing so, these studies have not precisely met all of the assumptions of the IFD. Here, we use an individual-based simulation model of a population of generalized foragers to test the ability of the IFD to predict the equilibrium distribution of organisms in a large environment. Conditions of the model meet the assumptions of Ideal Free theory. Food abundance follows a fractal distribution spatially through the environment. Model foragers have a type II functional response and a marginal-value theorem type patch departure rule. Foragers may move through the environment without cost, and foraging does not affect food availability.
In a simulation experiment, we manipulate the scale of heterogeneity in food distribution, the number of foragers in the population, the distance foragers move, and the scale of IFD predictions to determine the ability of the IFD to predict equilibrium spatial distribution of foragers. The experiment shows that correlations between IFD predictions and the distribution of simulated foragers were lower when food had a fractal distribution than when food resources had a random spatial distribution. IFD predictions best fit simulated forager distributions on fractal food landscapes when the scale at which distributions were measured was similar to the maximum movement distance of the foragers. Large differences between maximum movement distance and scale of measure resulted in low correlations between equilibrium distributions of simulated foragers and IFD predictions. These results indicate that the IFD is likely not a good predictor of animal distributions in large environments and that the extent of the area over which an IFD is used should be similar to the maximum daily movement of the animals under study.

AB Uniform upconversion in erbium-doped silicate glasses is investigated as a function of glass composition, concentration, and fabrication method. Comparisons of upconversion coefficients are made among soda lime silicate and aluminosilicate bulk glasses and soda lime silicate waveguides. Comparisons are also made with studies performed by other researchers. The results indicate that both the composition and the preparation method of the glass affect the value of the upconversion coefficient, with as much as a factor-of-4 variation observed at fixed Er3+ concentration. Values of the upconversion coefficient are found to be consistent with the Forster-Dexter microscopic model. (C) 1997 Optical Society of America.

A modification of the technique which allows the identification of reciprocal-lattice spike effects has been made. However, even with this modification a comparison of analyses of the same clusters by 2 1/2 D and the Black-White contrast method showed that 2 1/2 D analyses of small faulted point-defect clusters are unreliable.

AB The black-white (B-W) stereo technique has been critically assessed and applied to the determination of the nature of small point-defect clusters in copper produced by Kr+ heavy-ion irradiation at room temperature. Several precautions were introduced in an attempt to improve the reliability of the analysis. It was found that most defects lying in the first approximately 10 nm of the foil are vacancy in nature, together with some of the deeper clusters. There was no unequivocal evidence for interstitial clusters. Some were more likely to be interstitial than vacancy on the criteria chosen, although the evidence is weak. Defects sometimes showed inconsistent contrast from one imaging condition to another, demonstrating the difficulty of placing them in the layer structure with complete confidence. The near impossibility of establishing that interstitial clusters are not present is shown by the fact that over half (53%) the total number of clusters could not be analysed because they did not show clear B-W contrast in a minimum number of imaging conditions. Various correlations are made between parameters such as defect sizes with the depths of the defects in the foil.

AB We present the first observation of an irradiation-induced instability in the shear modulus of MgAl2O4 spinel. Brillouin scattering was used to determine the elastic constant C-44 following 400 keV Xe2+ irradiation of single-crystal spinel at 100 K. The corresponding structural changes were determined using electron microscopy. The results confirm a two-step transformation to the amorphous state through an intermediate metastable crystalline phase. The shear elastic constant decreases by about 35% upon amorphization. This low-temperature radiation response, which is in contrast with the radiation resistance observed at elevated temperatures, is discussued in terms of the ability of spinel to accommodate cation disorder and the free-energy difference between the liquid and solid states.

AB Spectra of X-rays scattered by compounds of 3d transition elements exhibit structure when the energies of the incident X-rays are a few electronvolts below the elements' K-absorption edge energies. This structure is the result of an inelastic scattering process and has been studied in compounds of chromium, iron and copper with a high-energy resolution wavelength-dispersive spectrometer. When the energies of the incident X-rays were tuned between the pre edge peak and the absorption edge, the energy of the resonantly scattered Xrays were always measured to be equal to the energy of the characteristic K alpha X-rays. This observation is in disagreement with the prediction of the present theoretical models for resonant scattering which were derived assuming the interactions to be fast collisions.

AB Microscopic simulations of plane Poiseuille flow for a dilute gas are presented. Although the flow is laminar (Reynolds number approximate to 10) and sub-sonic, the temperature and pressure profiles measured in the simulations differ qualitatively from the hydrodynamic predictions. The results are in agreement with a recent theoretical analysis based on the asymptotic solution of the BGK model of the Boltzmann equation.

AB Lattice models for calculating the elastic properties of cellular structures are described; on small scales the elastic constants are isotropic, both in two and three dimensions. Stresses are transmitted by harmonic springs that connect the nodes surrounding each volume element. The force constants of the springs are determined by the local elastic stiffness, which can vary from element to element. The model was tested by comparing the elastic constants of periodic two-dimensional microstructures with analytic results. Then it was applied to calculations of the elastic constants of samples of human trabecular bone, using images of the microstructure determined by X-ray transmission microscopy.

AB The criteria formulated by M. Born for the onset of melting (1939) and lattice stability (1940) are re-examined on the basis of more general considerations of elastic instabilities. With the aid of molecular dynamics simulations, we show that (1) Born's stability criteria are valid only in the case of zero external stress, and (2) his thermoelastic melting criterion, with some modification, is valid for the homogeneous process (mechanical melting or upper limit of superheating) which can occur when the free-energy-based heterogeneous process (melting by nucleation and growth) is kinetically suppressed. These and other related recent results on crack nucleation, pressure-induced polymorphic transition and amorphization emphasize the fundamental role of elastic instabilities in triggering unstable structural responses of homogeneous crystals.

AB The efforts in the last ten years or so to find a particle dynamics, wherein, the spatial coordinates are confined to lattice positions and the velocity coordinates to a few speeds, have unfortunately failed. It was hoped to duplicate the success of the Ising model, which would have allowed, if not for an analytic treatment, at least much more efficient computational methods to deal with hydrodynamic transport phenomena, particularly turbulence. The next course of action, in view of this failure, will be discussed after the reasons for the failure are outlined.

AB Smooth-particle applied mechanics is an interesting alternative method for the simulation of hydrodynamic flows. In this grid-free procedure the various fields are calculated by summing up the contributions from neighboring particles which are smoothly distributed in space according to a weighting function. The motion equations for these particles are ordinary differential equations similar - and in special cases isomorphic - to the atomistic equations of motion. We apply the method to two-dimensional Kolmogorov flow, where the fluid in the top and bottom half of the tube is accelerated in opposite directions. By varying the Reynolds number the transition from laminar flow to a stationary flow with symmetrically placed vortices is followed.

AB We describe the historical development of large-scale nonequilibrium molecular-dynamics (NEMD) computer simulations of fracture at Los Alamos. We have found that dynamic crack propagation leads to energy buildup that seeds instabilities, such as dislocation emission and branching. Recent three-dimensional simulations have shed light on ductile fracture mechanisms, including sequences of dislocation emission in various modes that are strikingly different from anything previously conjectured. The future for constitutive modeling, based on observations of dynamical features in such NEMD simulations is quite bright, and one such example is discussed.

AB By means of neutron diffraction the crystal structure and thermal motions of the ions in FCC K2PtCl6 were investigated in the temperature range from 20 to 380 K, extending the analysis to anharmonic terms, Associated with PtCl6 octahedra librations the Cl- ions vibrate mainly perpendicular to the Pt-Cl bonds. This thermal motion and also the isotropic thermal vibrations of the metal ions increase essentially with temperature, resulting in an isotropic thermal expansion. Within the experimental accuracy anharmonicity seems to be of minor importance.

AB The quasi-two-dimensional square-lattice antiferromagnet Ba2CuGe2O7 was studied by neutron scattering and bulk magnetic techniques. An incommensurate magnetic spiral structure with the propagation vector (1 + xi,xi,0) (xi = 0.027) was observed below T-N = 3.26 K. The spin dynamics can be adequately described by conventional spin-wave theory with two exchange constants: nearest-neighbor in-plane antiferromagnetic coupling J(1) approximate to 0.48 meV and interplane ferromagnetic interaction J(3) approximate to 0.013 meV. This set of exchange parameters apparently fails to explain the spiral order. The non-centrosymmetric crystal structure suggests that the incommensurate phase may be the result of a Dzyaloshin-skii-Moriya instability of the Neel ground state.

This theory is as successful as spin-wave theory in describing the excitations although with different exchange constants. The reduced moment, value of T-N, and longitudinal scattering predicted by the two models are discussed.

AB Results of inelastic neutron scattering in the amplitude-modulated magnetic phase of PrNi2Si2 are presented. The main, lowest longitudinal branch of the dispersion curve exhibits a shape much more dispersive than that present above T-N=20 K. Close to the incommensurate vector Q=(0, 0, 0.875), a critical behaviour occurs, characterized by the appearance of a new longitudinal magnetic excitation at low energy, showing a nearly complete softening for q=Q. Both low-energy excitations could be interpreted as phasons and amplitudons. Results are analyzed by a generalized susceptibility formalism.

AB Polarized neutron diffraction studies have been performed at various temperatures on a flux grown single crystal of YbAl3. Only the Yb carries a field-induced magnetic moment, which is well described by a free in ion Yb3+ form factor. The thermal variation of the localized 4f Yb moment exhibits a second maximum at T approximate to 130 K. A small temperature-independent positive conduction electron polarization is suggested. These results are important to the understanding of the YbAl3 ground state.

AB To learn more about the U heavy-fermion superconductors UBe13 and UPd2Al3 we have performed a series of Mossbauer, susceptibility, and neutron experiments on polycrystalline and single crystals of the Np analogs, which have identical crystal structures. In the case of NpBe13 (T-N = 4.9 K) the ordering wave vector q = [1/3 00] gives information on where to search for possible magnetic correlations in UBe13. In NpPd2Al3 (T-N = 38 K) we observe initially an incommensurate wave vector, but at 27 K a commensurate wave vector appears in addition.

AB Low-energy neutron transmission diffraction has been successfully demonstrated to be a powerful experimental method to investigate changes in crystal structure development down to the millisecond range. Bragg edge diffraction measurements thus can be the basis for future experiments like strain radiography, determination of the strain-rate dependent elastic properties of engineering materials, temporal development of phase changes, structural properties of materials under extreme environmental conditions like high pressure or temperature states. At high instantaneous neutron bursts current-mode detection can be used, which enables both transient and stroboscopic measurements. Progress has been made in rapid data acquisiton and analysis as well as temperature measurement by resonance doping.

AB The study of environmentally induced superselection and of the process of decoherence was originally motivated by the search for the emergence of classical behavior out of the quantum substrate, in the macroscopic limit [W. H. Zurek, Phys. Rev. D 24, 1516 (1981); 26, 1862 (1982)]. This limit, and other simplifying assumptions, have allowed the derivation of several simple results characterizing the onset of environmentally induced superselection; but these results are increasingly often regarded as a complete phenomenological characterization of decoherence in any regime. This is not necessarily the case: the examples presented in this paper counteract this impression by violating several of the simple general rules. This is relevant because decoherence is now beginning to be tested experimentally [C. Monroe et al., Science 272, 1131 (1996); M. Brune et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 77, 4887 (1996)], and one may anticipate that, in at least some of the proposed applications (e.g., quantum computers), only the basic principle of ''monitoring by the environment'' will survive. The phenomenology of decoherence may turn out to be significantly different.

AB Detailed electron attachment and spectroscopic measurements are reported on ArF-excimer-laser irradiated H-2. These studies indicate that previously reported efficient H- formation in ArF-laser irradiated H-2 is due to electron attachment to high-lying Rydberg (HR) states indirectly populated by the laser irradiation. Electron attachment studies indicate a lifetime of greater than or equal to 40 ns for the electron attaching state(s): The spectroscopic studies show that vacuum ultraviolet emission due to the B (1) Sigma(u)(+) --> X (1) Sigma(g)(+) transitions continues for up to similar to 100 ns after the termination of the laser pulse and thus that the B state is populated by cascades from higher-lying states with longer lifetimes. The temporal profile of Lyman-alpha emission due to the H(n = 2) to H(n = 1) transitions is consistent with the production of H(n = 2) states by electron attachment to HR states.

AB We examine finite basis set implementations of complex scaling procedures for computing scattering amplitudes and cross sections. While ordinary complex scaling, i.e., the technique of multiplying all interparticle distances in the Hamiltonian by a complex phase factor, is known to provide convergent cross-section expressions only for exponentially bounded potentials, we propose a generalization, based on Simon's exterior complex scaling technique, that works for long-range potentials as well. We establish an equivalence between a class of complex scaling transformations carried out on the time-independent Schrodinger equation and a procedure commonly referred to as the method of complex basis functions. The procedure is illustrated with a numerical example.

AB Argon L-2,L-3-M2,3M2,3 Auger-electron spectra were measured in coincidence with K alpha fluorescent x rays in studies of K-shell vacancy decays at several photon energies above the K threshold and on the 1s-->4p resonance. The complex spectra recorded by conventional electron spectroscopy are greatly simplified when recorded in coincidence with fluorescent x rays, allowing a more detailed analysis of the vacancy cascade process. The resulting coincidence spectra are compared with Hartree-Fock calculations, which include shake-up transitions in the resonant case. Small energy shifts of the coincident electron spectra are attributed to postcollision interaction with 1s photoelectrons.

TI Spin dynamics in mesoscopic size magnetic systems: A H-1 NMR study in
rings of iron (III) ions
SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B
LA English
DT Article
ID MOLECULES; CLUSTERS; STATE; WHEEL
AB Two magnetic molecular clusters containing almost coplanar rings of iron(III) ions with spin S = 5/2 have been investigated by H-1 NMR and relaxation measurements. The first system, which will be referred to as Fe6, is a molecule of general formula [NaFe6(OCH3)(12)(C17O4H15)(6)]+ClO4- or [NaFe6(OCH3)(12)(C15H11O2)(6)]+ClO4- or [LiFe6(OCH3)(12)(C15H11O2)(6)]+ClO4- while the second type of ring, denoted Fe10, corresponds to the molecule [Fe-10(OCH3)(20)(C2H2O2Cl)(10)]. The H-1 NMR linewidth is broadened by the nuclear dipolar interaction and by the dipolar coupling of the protons with the iron (III) paramagnetic moment. It is found that the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate, T-1(-1), of the proton is a sensitive probe of the Fe spin dynamics. In both clusters, T-1(-1) decreases with decreasing temperatures from room temperature, goes through a peak just below about 30 K in Fe6 and 10 K in Fe10, and it drops exponentially to very small values at helium temperature. The temperature dependence of the relaxation rate is discussed in terms of the fluctuations of the local spins within the allowed total spin configurations in the framework of the weak collision theory to describe the nuclear relaxation. We use the calculated energy levels for the Fe6 ring based on a Heisenberg Hamiltonian and the value of J obtained from the fit of the magnetic susceptibility to describe semiquantitatively the behavior T-1(-1) vs T. The exponential drop of T-1(-1) at low temperature is consistent with a nonmagnetic singlet ground state separated by an energy gap from the first excited triplet state. The values obtained for the gap energies are E-T/k = 12 K for Fe10 and E-T/k = 38 K for Fe6 which are almost twice as big as the values deduced from susceptibility measurements. At all temperatures the relaxation rate decreases with increasing magnetic field, i.e., NMR resonance frequency. This effect could be related to the long time persistence of the spin correlation functions typical of diffusive modes in low dimensional magnetic systems. It is argued that the data presented are a direct experimental study of spin dynamics in mesoscopic spin rings and should afford a test for exact analytical and/or numerical solutions.

AB We present an nb initio analysis of easy magnetization axis ''switching'' recently discovered in experiments on Co ultrathin films with a deposited submonolayer of Cu. The present large scale calculations show that the nanomagnetic pattern of a stepped Co(001) surface 2-3 monolayers thick with submonolayer quantities of Cu has a complex three-dimensional character. We show that the maximum noncollinearity of spin directions is about 300, and the ''switching'' has a reentrant character as a function of Co coverage.

ID VALENCE TRANSITION; ANDERSON LATTICE; YBXIN1-XCU2
AB We have measured the momentum and energy dependence of the spin fluctuations in the low-temperature mixed-valent state and the high-temperature integral-valent state of YbInCu4, using flux-grown single crystals and a triple axis spectrometer. The magnetic scattering can be fit with a Lorentzian power spectrum, with positions and halfwidths equal E-0(+) = 2.3 meV and Gamma(+) = 1.8 meV in the high-temperature state at 50 K and E-0(-) = 40.2 meV and Gamma(-) = 12.3 meV in the low-temperature state at 20 K. Within the experimental uncertainties, the line shape as a function of energy transfer (i.e., the power spectrum) does not depend on momentum transfer Q. The static susceptibility (X)(Q) is no more than 10% larger at the zone boundary than at zone center for the [1,0,0] direction. The results compare reasonably well to the predictions of the Anderson impurity model and to earlier measurements on polycrystalline samples.

PROPERTIES; PHOTOEMISSION; SPECTRA; BA
AB The core levels of TlBa2CaCu2O7-delta (Tl-1212) epitaxial films have been measured with x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The valence electronic structure has been determined using the full-potential linear muffin-tin-orbital band-structure method and measured with XPS. The calculations show that a van Hove singularity (VHS) lies above the Fermi level (E-F) for the stoichiometric compound (delta = 0), while for 50% oxygen vacancies in the Tl-O layer (delta = 0.5) E-F is in close proximity to the VHS. Samples annealed in nitrogen (to reduce the hole overdoping by the removal of oxygen) exhibit higher core-level binding energies and a higher T-c, consistent with a shift of E-F closer to the VHS. Comparisons are made to the core levels and valence bands of Tl2Ba2CaCu2O8+delta (Tl-2212) and HgBa2CaCu2O6+delta (Hg-1212). The similarity of the Cu 2p(3/2) spectra for Tl-1212 and Tl-2212 indicates that the number of Tl-O layers has little effect on the Cu-O bonding. However, the Tl-1212 and Hg-1212 Cu 2p(3/2) signals exhibit differences which suggest that the replacement of Tl3+ with Hg2+ results in a decrease in the O 2p --> Cu 3d charge-transfer energy and differences in the probabilities of planar vs apical oxygen charge transfer and/or Zhang-Rice singlet-state formation. Differences between the Tl-1212 and the Tl-2212 and Hg-1212 measured valence bands are consistent with the calculated Cu 3d and (Tl,Hg) 6s/5d partial densities of states.

TI Paramagnetic Meissner effect in Nb - Reply
SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B
LA English
DT Editorial Material
ID HIGH-TEMPERATURE SUPERCONDUCTORS; SINGLE-CRYSTALS
AB Rice and Sigrist (RS) have proposed a d-wave mechanism to explain the paramagnetic Meissner effect (PME) observed in some inhomogeneous samples of high-T-c superconductors. However, the observation of a PME in some inhomogeneous samples of Nb (an s-wave superconductor) demonstrates that a d-wave pairing mechanism is not needed to produce the effect. Moreover, the remarkable similarity between the PME observed in these Nb and in the high-T-c samples argues that the same mechanism is operable in both types of superconductors. In this Reply, new measurements on La(2)CuOQ(4+delta) and on irradiated Nb are discussed, which strongly support the notion that the PME is most likely associated with layered T-c inhomogeneities. Further experiments to test this notion are proposed. We also discuss critically the three experiments proposed by RS to distinguish between two PME mechanisms unrelated to layered T-c inhomogeneities.

AB The effects of interchain coupling on solitons and soliton lattice structures in CuGeO3 are explored. It is shown that interchain coupling substantially increases the soliton width and changes the soliton lattice structures in the incommensurate phase. It is proposed that the experimentally observed large soliton width in CuGeO3 is mainly due to interchain coupling effects.

AB Line-shape analysis of O-17 NMR spectra is used to probe vortex melting and dynamics in aligned powders of YBa2O3O7. Vortex transitions are identified by comparing their dynamics with the NMR time scale. Lineshape changes indicate a well-defined melting transition at a temperature, T-m. Below T-m there is a coexistence regime of solid and liquid vortices with a lower bound, T-g, which marks complete vortex freezing.

AB The magnetic anisotropy energy (MAE) of face-centered-tetragonal (fct) Ni is calculated as a function of the axial c/a ratio. It is shown that the MAE for fct Ni is tremendously enhanced relative to the MAE for fec Ni. The theoretical results are compared with measurements done by means of ferromagnetic resonance on fct Ni films grown on a Cu(001) substrate. Both experiment and theory show that the tetragonal distortion of Ni is crucial for the understanding of the transition to the out-of-plane magnetization for Ni Alms on Cu(001) for thicknesses above similar to 7 atomic monolayers. We have also calculated the magnetostrictive constants for fee Ni and obtained lambda(001) = - 245 x 10(-6) and lambda(111) = - 110 x 10(-6). The relation between lambda(001) and the MAE of fct Ni is investigated by means of magnetoelastic theory as well as by first principles calculations.

AB A functional integral formulation, used previously to calculate T-c and describe normal state proper-ties of the BCS-Bose crossover, is extended to T < T-c. The saddle point approximation is shown to be qualitatively correct for T much less than T-c for all couplings, in contrast to the situation above T-c. Several features of the crossover an described. The difference between the T = 0 ''pair size'' and the (prefactor of the T dependent) Ginzburg-Landau coherence length is pointed out: the two quantities are the same only in the BCS limit. The evolution of the collective modes from the BCS to the Bose regime is discussed together with the mixing of the amplitude and phase in the absence of a particle-hole symmetry.

AB The yrast superdeformed band in Pb-194 has been populated using the Yb-174(Mg-25,5n)Pb-194 reaction at E-beam = 130 MeV. Decay gamma rays were detected using the GAMMASPHERE array at the 88-Inch Cyclotron. Twelve gamma-ray transitions have been observed directly linking three members of the Pb-194 yrast superdeformed band to low-lying normal deformed levels. Anisotropy measurements indicate that these linking decays include E1, M1, and mixed M1/E2 multipolarities. The radiative widths deduced are very inhibited, typically B(E1)similar to 10(-8) Weisskopf units (W.u.) and B(M1)similar to 10(-5) W.u. Without recourse to a priori assumptions J(pi) = 6(+) and E-x = 4878.4(3) keV have been unambiguously assigned to the lowest-lying observed superdeformed state (the state populated by the 170-keV intraband transition). The intensity of the observed primaries accounts for 21(2)% of the superdeformed band population.

TI Angular-momentum structure of the yrast bands of deformed nuclei

DT Article
ID SHELL-MODEL DESCRIPTION; LOW-ENERGY STRUCTURE; PSEUDO-SU(3) MODEL
AB We have quantitatively analyzed the wave functions of the low-lying yrast states of deformed, heavy nuclei (specifically U-238 and Er-168) given by different models to determine the relative contribution of the valence nucleons to the total angular momentum of the nucleus. In all models, an yrast state is generated, as expected, by collective contributions from both proton and neutron angular momenta. We have also examined the relative contribution of valence nucleons in the normal-parity states and in the abnormal-parity, high-j, intruder states to the yrast angular momentum. If the stares with definite angular momenta projected from the Nilsson intrinsic state of the nucleus are assumed to provide a good approximation to the structure of the yrast band, the contribution of nucleons in the abnormal-parity states to the yrast angular momentum is shown to be about the same as that of nucleons in the normal-parity states. This result is in marked contrast to the assumption made in two prominent models (pseudo-SU3 model and its symplectic extension and fermion dynamic symmetric model) that the nucleons in abnormal-parity states, do not, in the first approximation. contribute any angular momentum to the yrast band. We also find that the distribution of angular momenta contained in the intrinsic state of the abnormal-parity nucleons in the j(n) configuration, which does not have any SU3 symmetry, is surprisingly similar to the distribution of angular momenta contained in an SU3 intrinsic state with the same average value of angular momentum.

We find that inelastic processes involving vector and axial vector mesons reduce the chemical equilibration time by a factor of similar to 10 compared to the result previously calculated in chiral perturbation theory. For a temperature of T similar to 160 MeV we obtain a chemical relaxation time of tau(ch)similar or equal to 7 fm/c, which is comparable with typical time scales for a hadronic system generated in SPS-energy heavy-ion collisions. The effect of baryons is also estimated and found to be negligible for SPS energies but might be important for AGS energies. We predict that chemical freeze-out should take place at considerably higher temperatures Delta T similar or equal to 40 MeV than thermal freeze-out and that the hadronic phase would not sustain a pion chemical potential larger than 50 MeV.

AB We discuss the properties of two distinct forms of hypothetical strange matter, small lumps of strange quark matter (strangelets) and of hyperon matter [metastoble exotic multihypernuclear objects (MEMO's)], with special emphasis on their relevance for present and future heavy ion experiments. The masses of small strangelets up to A(B)=40 are calculated using the MIT bag model with shell mode filling for various bag parameters. The strangelets are checked for possible strong and weak hadronic decays, also taking into account multiple hadron decays. It is found that strangelets which are stable against strong decay are most likely highly negatively charged, contrary to previous findings. Strangelets can be stable against weak hadronic decay but their masses and charges are still rather high. This has serious impact on the present high sensitivity searches in heavy ion experiments at the AGS and CERN facilities. On the other hand, highly charged MEMO's no predicted on the basis of an extended relativistic mean-field model, Those objects could be detected in future experiments searching for short-lived, rare composites. It is demonstrated that future experiments can be sensitive to a much wider variety of strangelets.

AB The effect of medium-induced parton energy loss on jet fragmentation is studied in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. It is shown that an effective jet fragmentation function can be extracted from the inclusive p(T) spectrum of charged particles in the opposite direction of a tagged direct photon with a fixed transverse energy. We study the modification of the effective jet fragmentation function due to pac-ton energy loss in AA as compared to pp collisions, including E-T Smearing from initial-state radiations for the photon-tagged jets. The effective fragmentation function at z=p(T)\E-T(y) similar to 1 in pA collisions is shown to be sensitive to the additional E-T smearing due to initial multiple parton scatterings whose effect must be subtracted out in AA collisions in order to extract the effective parton energy loss. Jet quenching in deeply inelastic lepton-nucleus scatterings as a measure of the parton energy loss in cold nuclear matter is also discussed. We also comment on the experimental feasibilities of the proposed study at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and Large Hadron Collider (LHC) energies and some alternative measurements such as using Z(0) as a tag at the LHC energy.

ID ION COLLISIONS; COULOMB BARRIER; EMISSION; STATES; U-238
AB Positrons and electrons from the internal pair conversion (IPC) decay of states populated in near-barrier collisions of very heavy ions have been studied using the APEX spectrometer. Using inelastic Pb-206 + Pb-206 scattering at 5.90 MeV/nucleon, the gamma and IPC branches of the well-known E1 decay of the first J(pi) = 3(-) state were kinematically reconstructed and the IPC-to-gamma branching ratio was determined to be beta = (4.0 +/- 0.7) x 10(-4). We have also performed experiments with actinide beams or targets; U-238 + Ta-181, Pb-208 + U-238, Pb-208 + Th-232, and U-238 + Th-232, which resulted in the observation of new gamma-ray transitions from high-lying states in Th-232 and U-238. None of these were populated with sufficient strength such that IPC could produce statistically significantly peaks in positron-electron sum energy spectra.

AB The strength of electric monopole transitions in the decay out of superdeformed bands is discussed on the basis of the mixing of superdeformed and normal-deformed states. The decay of superdeformed bands in the mass-190 region as well as the decay of the bands in Nd-133 and Nd-135 is investigated. Even though the values obtained for the electric monopole strength are very large, it is shown that E0 transitions cannot play an important role in the decay of superdeformed bands.

AB The electroweak O(alpha) contribution to the resonant single W production in a general four-fermion process is discussed with particular emphasis on a gauge-invariant decomposition into a QED-like and weak part. The cross section in the vicinity of the resonance can be represented in terms of a convolution of a ''hard'' Breit-Wigner cross section, comprising the (m(t),M-H)-dependent weak one-loop corrections, with a universal radiator function. The numerical impact of the various contributions on the W line shape are discussed, together with the concepts of s-dependent and constant width approaches. Analytic formulas for the W decay width are also provided including the one-loop electroweak and QCD corrections.

AB We have extended our earlier simulations of the high-temperature behavior of lattice QCD with two light flavors of staggered quarks on a 16(3)x8 lattice to a lower quark mass (m(q)=0.00625). The transition from hadronic matter to a quark-gluon plasma is observed at 6/g(2)=5.49(2) corresponding to a temperature of Tc approximate to 140 MeV. We present measurements of observables which probe the nature of the quark-gluon plasma and serve to distinguish it from hadronic matter. Although the transition is quite abrupt, we have seen no indications that it is first order.

AB We calculate the two flavor equation of state for QCD on lattices with lattice spacing a=(6T)(-1) and find that cutoff effects are substantially reduced compared to an earlier study using a=(4T)(-1). However, it is likely that significant cutoff effects remain. We fit the lattice data to expected forms of the free energy density for a second order phase transition at zero-quark mass, which allows us to extrapolate the equation of state to m(q)=0 and to extract the speed of sound. We find that the equation of state depends weakly on the quark mass for small quark mass.

AB We present estimates of the masses of light quarks using lattice data. Our main results are based on a global analysis of ail the published data for Wilson, Sheikholeslami-Wohlert (clover), and staggered fermions, both in the quenched approximation and with n(f) = 2 dynamical flavors. We find that the values of masses with the various formulations agree after extrapolation to the continuum limit for the n(f) = 0 theory. Our best estimates, in the (MSS) over bar scheme at mu = 2 GeV, are (m) over bar = 3.4 +/- 0.4 +/- 0.3 MeV and m(s) = 100 +/- 21 +/- 10 MeV in the quenched approximation. The n(f) = 2 results, (m) over bar = 2.7 +/- 0.3 +/- 0.3 MeV and m(s) = 68 +/- 12 +/- 7 MeV, are preliminary. (A linear extrapolation in nf would further reduce these estimates for the physical case of three dynamical flavors.) These estimates are smaller than phenomenological estimates based on sum rules, but maintain the ratios predicted by chiral perturbation theory. The new results have a significant impact on the extraction of epsilon'/epsilon from the standard model. Using the same lattice data we estimate the quark condensate using the GeIl-MannOakes-Renner relation. Again the three formulations give consistent results after extrapolation to a = 0, andthe value turns out to be correspondingly larger, roughly preserving m(s)[(psi)over bar>psi>].

ID W-GLUON FUSION; HEAVY QUARKS; APPROXIMATION; COLLIDER
AB We show in single top quark production that the spin of the top quark is correlated with the direction of the d-type quark in the event. For single top-quark production in the W* channel, the d-type quark comes dominantly from the antiproton at the Fermilab Tevatron, whereas for the W-gluon fusion channel the spectator jet is the d-type quark the majority of the time at this machine. Our results are that 98% of the top quarks from the W* process have their spins in the antiproton direction, and 96% of the top quarks in the W-gluon fusion process have their spins in the spectator jet direction. We also compare with the more traditional, but less effective, helicity basis. The direction of the top quark spin is reflected in angular correlations in its decay products.

Events in which each tau undergoes the decay tau-->h nu, with h a charged pion or kaon, are analyzed for energy correlations between the daughter hadrons, yielding \xi(h)\ = 1.03 +/- 0.06 +/- 0.04, with the first error statistical and the second systematic.

AB We establish the dissipative nature of several three- and four-dimensional time-reversible phase-space flows and study their ergodicity. Three- and four-dimensional generalizations of the equilibrium Nose-Hoover oscillater provide the simplest robust continuous models for time-reversible nonequilibrium dissipative systems. Most such systems exhibit discontinuities or periodicities. We have discovered one set of four ordinary differential equations which is simultaneously robust, time-reversible, dissipative, and ergodic, with solutions free of any discontinuities and periodicities.

AB Rayleigh-Benard convection with rotation about a vertical axis was studied with the shadowgraph imaging method up to a dimensionless rotation rate Omega of 22. Most of the results are for a cylindrical convection cell with a radius-to-height ratio Gamma = 40 that contained CO2 at 33.1 bars with a Prandtl number sigma = 0.93. Measurements of the critical Rayleigh number R-c and wave number k(c) for 0 < Omega < 22 agree well with predictions based on linear stability analysis. Above onset and with rotation, the average wave number and details of the pattern dynamics were studied. For Omega less than or similar to 5, the initial onset was to a pattern of straight or slightly curved rolls. For 0.1 less than or similar to epsilon = Delta T/Delta T-c - 1 less than or similar to 0.5 but below the onset of spiral-defect chaos, rotation with Omega less than or similar to 8 produced weak perturbations of nonrotating patterns. Typically, this gave an ''S-shaped'' distortion of the zero-rotation pattern of straight or somewhat curved rolls. Rotation had a stronger effect on thr source and motions of dislocation defects. For Omega > 0 the defects were generated primarily at the wall, whereas for Omega = 0 they were nucleated in the bulk via the skewed-varicose instability. Rotation picked a preferred direction of motion for the defects once they formed. For epsilon greater than or similar to 0.5, recognizable spiral-defect chaos and the oscillatory instability were observed for Omega less than or similar to 12. For Omega greater than or equal to 8, domain growth and front propagation suggestive of the Kuppers-Lortz instability were observed from onset up to an epsilon value that increased with Omega. Increasing epsilon at fixed Omega less than or similar to 12 enhanced dislocation-defect dynamics over Kuppers-Lortz front propagation. Quantitative measurements of average pattern wave numbers, correlation lengths, and spatially averaged roll curvature as functions of epsilon and R are presented, At a fixed Omega greater than or similar to 10, the average wave number had two distinct wave-number-selection regions with different slopes as a function of epsilon, one above epsilon approximate to 0.45 and thr other near onset. The slope for epsilon near onset reached a minimum Omega = 12.1 and increased Linearly for 12 < Omega < 20.

INSTABILITIES; PROBABILITY-DISTRIBUTIONS; THERMAL FLUCTUATIONS
AB Multiplicative noise in spatially extended systems produces different effects depending upon whether the noise is spatially homogeneous or spatially varying. Whereas in previous work a stochastic distribution was treated, here we consider the spatially periodic case, which is more amenable to an experimental approach, in particular in the electrically driven instabilities of nematic liquid crystals. We shall principally be interested in the threshold for the onset of symmetry breaking instabilities controlled by bifurcations in several stochastic partial differential equations. For the Ginzburg-Landau and Swift-Hohenberg equations we calculate the behavior of the threshold for all moments to second order in the noise strength, allowing one to reconstruct the full probability distribution. For a system of two coupled equations which mimics electroconvection in nematic liquid crystals (the ''one-dimensional model''), we calculate the first two moments up to second order and estimate the threshold for convection. The general conclusion of our work is that spatially periodic noise induces a reduction in the threshold similar to the stochastically distributed case. We propose that this reduction be independent of the periodicity of the noise to first order in the noise strength, the dependence on period appearing only at second order. This is in contrast to spatially homogeneous noise where threshold shifts may be entirely absent.

TI Collisional-radiative average-atom model for hot plasmas

DT Article
ID ALUMINUM PLASMAS; DENSITY; MATTER
AB A collisional-radiative ''average-atom'' (AA) model is presented for the calculation of opacities of hot plasmas that are not in the condition of local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE). The electron impact and radiative rate constants are calculated using the dipole oscillator strengths of the average atom. A key element of the model is the photon escape probability, which at present is calculated for a semi-infinite slab. The Fermi statistics renders the rate equations for the AA level occupancies nonlinear, which requires iterations until the steady-state AA level occupancies are found. Detailed electronic configurations are built into the model after the self-consistent non-LTE AA state is found. The model shows a continuous transition from the non-LTE to the LTE state depending on the optical thickness of the plasma.

ID SHEAR-DRIVEN TURBULENCE; VARIATIONAL BOUNDS; INCOMPRESSIBLE FLOWS;
DISSIPATION
AB The concept of nonlinear energy stability has recently been extended to deduce bounds on energy dissipation and transport in incompressible flows, even for turbulent flows. In this approach an effective stability condition on ''background'' flow or temperature profiles is derived, which when satisfied ensures that the profile produces a rigorous upper estimate to the bulk dissipation. Optimization of the test background profiles in search of the lowest upper bounds leads to nonlinear Euler-Lagrange equations for the extremal profile. In this paper, in the context of convective heat transport in the Boussinesq equations, we describe numerical solutions of the Euler-Lagrange equations for the optimal background temperature and present the numerical computation of the implied bounds.

A procedure to systematically derive discrete velocity models is presented. A LBE algorithm with arbitrary mesh grids is proposed and a numerical simulation of the backward-facing step is conducted. The numerical result agrees well with experimental and previous numerical results. Various improvements on the LBE models are discussed, and an explanation of the instability of the existing LBE thermal models is also provided.

ID NAVIER-STOKES EQUATION; SIMULATION; FLOWS
AB Pressure (density) and velocity boundary conditions are studied for 2-D and 3-D lattice Boltzmann BGK models (LBGK) and a new method to specify these conditions is proposed. These conditions are constructed in consistency with the wall boundary condition, based on the idea of bounceback of the non-equilibrium distribution. When these conditions are used together with the incompressible LBGK model [J. Stat. Phys. 81, 35 (1995)] the simulation results recover the analytical solution of the plane Poiseuille flow driven by a pressure (density) difference. The half-way wall bounceback boundary condition is also used with the pressure (density) inlet/outlet conditions proposed in this paper and in Phys. Fluids 8, 2527 (1996) to study 2-D Poiseuille flow and 3-D square duct flow. The numerical results are approximately second-order accurate. The magnitude of the error of the half-way wall bounceback boundary condition is comparable with that of other published boundary conditions and it has better stability behavior.

AB Multi-exposure flow visualization experiments with laser-sheet illumination provide growth-rate measurement of Richtmyer-Meshkov instability of a thin, perturbed heavy-gas layer embedded in a lower-density gas and accelerated by a planar shock wave. The measurements clearly show the three-stage transition to turbulence of this gas-curtain instability and the single-event coexistence of the three primary flow morphologies discovered previously. The shock-induced circulation for each event is estimated using a simple model based on Richtmyer-Meshkov instability and an infinite linear array of vortex points. These estimates are consistent with simplified flow simulations using a finite-core vortex-blob model.

TI Burgers' equation with high Reynolds number
SO PHYSICS OF FLUIDS

DT Article
AB Burgers' equation, involving very high Reynolds numbers, is numerically solved by using a new approach based on the distributed approximating functional for representing spatial derivatives of the velocity field. For moderately large Reynolds numbers, this simple approach can provide very high accuracy while using a small number of grid points. In the case where the Reynolds number greater than or equal to 10(5), the exact solution is not available and a discrepancy exists in the literature. Our results clarify the behavior of the solution under these conditions. (C) 1997 American Institute of Physics.

AB Resistive drift-wave turbulence in a slab geometry is studied by statistical closure methods and direct numerical simulations. The two-field Hasegawa-Wakatani (HW) fluid model, which evolves the electrostatic potential and plasma density self-consistently, is a paradigm for understanding the generic nonlinear behavior of multiple-field plasma turbulence. A gyrokinetic derivation of the HW model is sketched. The recently developed Realizable Markovian Closure (RMC) is applied to the HW model; spectral properties, nonlinear energy transfers, and turbulent transport calculations are discussed. The closure results are also compared to direct numerical simulation results; excellent agreement is found. The transport scaling with the adiabaticity parameter, which measures the strength of the parallel electron resistivity, is analytically derived and understood through weak- and strong-turbulence analyses. No evidence is found to support previous suggestions that coherent structures cause a large depression of saturated transport from its quasilinear value in the hydrodynamic regime of the HW model. Instead, the depression of transport is well explained by the spectral balance equation of the (second-order) statistical closure when account is taken of incoherent noise.

ID MHD STABILITY; CODE; PLASMAS; ERATO
AB A robustly accurate and effective method is presented to solve Laplace's equation in general azimuthally symmetric geometry for the magnetic scalar potential in the region surrounding a plasma discharge which may or may not contain external conductors. These conductors can be topologically toroidal or spherical, and may have toroidal gaps in them. The solution is incorporated into the various magnetohydrodynamic stability codes either through the volume integrated perturbed magnetic energy in the vacuum region or through the continuity requirements for the normal component of the perturbed magnetic field and the total perturbed pressure across the unperturbed plasma-vacuum boundary. The method is based upon using Green's second identity and the method of collocation. As useful by-products, the eddy currents and the simulation of Mirnov loop measurements are calculated.

TI Dynamics of a high-power aluminum-wire array Z-pinch implosion
SO PHYSICS OF PLASMAS

ID RAYLEIGH-TAYLOR INSTABILITY; MODEL; PLASMAS
AB Annular Al-wire Z-pinch implosions on the Saturn accelerator [D.D. Bloomquist et al., Proceedings, 6th Pulsed Power Conference (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, New York, 1987), p. 310] that have high azimuthal symmetry exhibit both a strong first and weaker second x-ray burst that correlate with strong and weaker radial compressions, respectively. Measurements suggest that the observed magnetic Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) instability prior to the first compression seeds an m=0 instability observed later. Analyses of axially averaged spectral data imply that, during the first compression, the plasma is composed of a hot core surrounded by a cooler plasma halo. Two-dimensional (2-D) radiation magnetohydrodynamic computer simulations show that a RT instability grows to the classic bubble and spike structure during the course of the implosion. The main radiation pulse begins when the bubble reaches the axis and ends when the spike finishes stagnating on axis and the first compression ends. These simulations agree qualitatively with the measured characteristics of the first x-ray pulse and the overall energetics, and they provide a 2-D view into the plasma hydrodynamics of the implosion.

AB Significant progress has been achieved during the last decade in our knowledge and understanding of the optical potential between two light heavy-ions. This has mostly been a consequence of the measurement of accurate and extensive elastic differential cross sections. Some of these data, covering over eight orders of magnitude in cross section, extend to sufficiently large scattering angles that they show remarkable refractive effects which remind one of features of the scattering of alpha particles by nuclei that have been known since the work of Goldberg some twenty years ago. Refractive effects, particularly nuclear rainbows, are evident in C-12 + C-12 and O-16 + O-16 angular distributions at bombarding energies between 6 and 100 MeV per nucleon. Their angular location and cross section have led to the determination of the gross features of the local optical potentials and in many cases have removed ambiguities in the depths of the real parts of the potentials. The resulting phenomenological potentials are strongly attractive (''deep''), with relatively weak absorption, and depend upon the bombarding energy. The optical model potential for such heavy-ions is no longer simply a way to parameterize scattering data (or perhaps just one of many ways). Ambiguities have been resolved, and a good understanding of the theoretical basis of its features has been attained. The folding model is central to this understanding, coupled with increased insight into the nature of realistic effective nucleon-nucleon interactions. This Report reviews the experimental evidence, its interpretation, and what we have learnt from it. Much of the interpretation becomes especially transparent when couched in the language of semiclassical scattering theory. We summarize this language, as well as the basic features of the theory of the optical model.

AB Flavodoxin is a small electron-transfer protein capable of replacing ferredoxin during periods of Fe deficiency. When evaluating the suitability of flavodoxin as a diagnostic indicator for Fe limitation of phytoplankton growth, we examined its expression in two marine diatoms we cultured using trace-metal-buffered medium. Thalassiosira weissflogii and Phaeodactylum tricornutum were cultured in ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid-buffered Sargasso Sea water containing from 10 to 1000 nM added Fe. Trace-metal-buffered cultures of each diatom maintained high growth rates across the entire range of Fe additions. Similarly, declines in chlorophyll/cell and in the ratio of photosystem II variable-to-maximum fluorescence were negligible (P. tricornutum) to moderate (T. weissflogii; 54% decline in chlorophyll/cell and 22% decrease in variable-to-maximum fluorescence). Moreover, only minor variations in photosynthetic parameters were observed across the range of additions. In contrast, flavodoxin was expressed to high levels in low-Fe cultures. Despite the inverse relationship between flavodoxin expression and Fe content of the medium, its expression was seemingly independent of any of the indicators of cell physiology that were assayed. It appears that flavodoxin is expressed as an early-stage response to Fe stress and that its accumulation need not be intimately connected to limitations imposed by Fe on the growth rate of these diatoms.

ID TRANSPORT-COEFFICIENTS; FIELDS; STELLARATORS
AB We have examined the confinement properties for a range of small aspect ratio tokamak/stellarator hybrid devices. Vacuum rotational transform is produced in these configurations using relatively simple tilted/modulated toroidal magnetic field coils, which can then be supplemented with driven plasma current. The. iota profile is tokamak-like with a maximum in the center and decreasing towards the plasma edge. Evaluation of confinement characteristics is carried out on several levels including B-min, B-max, contours, longitudinal adiabatic invariant J* contours, guiding-center trajectories, and Monte Carlo simulations starting with a random ensemble of particles. We find that confinement generally improves with increasing driven current, lower ripple, increasing magnetic field, and increasing electric field. Another avenue for confinement improvement is through optimization of the magnetic geometry. The tools mentioned above for evaluating confinement suggest several simple criteria as targets for the magnetic optimizations.

AB High temperature, polymeric, structural foams were prepared using a high internal phase emulsion (HIPE) to copolymerize styrene with maleimide based monomers. In this work, N-ethylmaleimide and a bismaleimide (BMI) monomer, bis(3-ethyl-5-methyl-4-maleimide-phenyl) were successfully free-radically copolymerized with styrene in a water-in-oil HIPE to produce polymeric foams with glass transition temperatures (T(g)s) ranging from 140 to 220 degrees C depending on composition. The ethylmaleimide and BMI were uniformly Incorporated throughout the polymer, which allowed the thermal performance of the foams to be tailored by controlling the concentration of ethylmaleimide and BMI modifiers. In addition, the thermal oxidative stability of the foam systems increased with increasing concentration of maleimide based monomers. The resulting polymeric foams contained an open cell morphology with cell sizes of approximately 10 mu m in diameter. Compression tests of the high temperature foam systems showed that compression strengths of approximately 700-850 kPa were obtainable at foam densities under 80 mg cm(-3) (5.0 lb ft(-3)).

TI The reactions of a dinuclear ferric complex (oxo) di-iron(III)
triethylenetetraamminehexaacetate, Fe2O(ttha)(2-), with oxidizing and

AB The rate constants at which oxidizing and reducing radicals react with the dinuclear iron(III) complex Fe2O(ttha)(2-) were measured in neutral aqueous solution. The rate constants for reduction of the complex by . CO2.- (CH3CHOH)-C-. and O-2(.-) were found to be comparable with rate constants previously measured in mononuclear iron(III) polyaminocarboxylate systems. Fe2O(ttha)(2-) reacts slowly with O-2(.-) (k(8) = (1.2 +/- 0.2) x 10(4) dm(3) mol(-1) s(-1)) and, hence, is a relatively poor catalyst for the dismutation of superoxide radical. The hydrated electron reduces the complex at a diffusion-controlled rate in a process which consumes one proton:
e(aq)(-) + Fe2O(ttha)(2-) --> (Fe2O)-O-III,II(ttha)(3-)
The reduction by carbon-centered radicals produces a (III,II) mixed-valence complex with an absorption spectrum different from that of the Fe-2(II,III) species produced from reduction by the hydrated electron. The oxidizing radicals (OH)-O-. and . CO3- appear to act as reductants of the complex via ligand oxidation rather than by oxidation of the (Fe2O)-O-III core to (Fe2O)-O-III,IV. In the former case ligand attack appears to occur mainly at the methylene carbon of a glycinate group. The decarboxylation product, CO2, was detected by its aquation reaction in the presence of a pH sensitive dye, bromthymol blue.

ID RETENTION; BONE
AB The mortality pattern of women who began employment as luminizers in the radium dial industry before 1930 was followed through 1990. Hazard models with time-dependent covariates were used on mortality data either organized by individual death times or grouped into cross-classified person-year tables. These models were used to quantify trends in mortality associated with either death from or diagnosis of bone sarcoma or head carcinoma, The accumulation of skeletal doses from Ra-226 and Ra-228 was an important predictor of the risk of death from bone sarcoma. Women exposed to Ra-226 at ages associated with active bone growth were at greater risk of bone sarcoma than women receiving even larger exposures at an age when their skeletons would have been fully developed. Exposure to only Ra-226 was found to be an important predictor of risk for carcinoma of the mastoid air cells and paranasal sinuses. For the cranial sites, where adult dimensions are attained early in life, an effect of age at exposure could not be detected. (C) 1997 by Radiation Research Society.

AB The frequency of peripheral blood erythrocyte variants exhibiting allelic loss of glycophorin A (N/M antigen) has been used previously as a biological dosimeter to assess somatic mutations in bone marrow cells from external whole-body irradiation. The aim of the present study was to determine whether this marker could be used as a measure of bone marrow genotoxicity induced by I-131 in the treatment of thyroid cancer. Flow cytometry of immunolabeled erythrocytes was performed to enumerate glycophorin A variants before and after eight therapy doses of I-131 administered to five patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma. Bone marrow radiation exposure from each dose was calculated from the integrated retention of I-131 in the whole body and in the blood, In addition, the accumulated dose to the bone marrow received from earlier I-131 therapy was calculated for each patient. Regression analysis was performed on the frequency of two glycophorin A variant cell types (N/0 and N/N) as a function of accumulated dose to the bone marrow. Frequency of N/0 variant cells showed a significant dose-related increase with a slope of 10.9 x 10(-6) per sievert. This dose effect is about one-half that previously observed after whole-body external irradiation at high dose rate, This decreased response could be explained by the low dose rate of the radiation to the bone marrow from I-131.

TI Time-resolved fluorescence polarization measurements for entire emission
spectra with a resistive-anode, single-photon-counting detector: The
fluorescence Omnilyzer
SO REVIEW OF SCIENTIFIC INSTRUMENTS
LA English
DT Article
ID PHOTOMULTIPLIER TUBE; RESOLUTION
AB We report a fluorescence analyzer that records simultaneously the temporal profiles for both orthogonal linear polarizations for all wavelengths in a fluorescence emission spectrum. The Analyzer combines a resistive-anode single-photon-counting photomultiplier, imaging spectrograph, Wollaston polarizer, multiparameter analyzer with histograming memory, and standard timing electronics. The spectrograph disperses the fluorescence spectrum across the photocathode of the photomultiplier, and the Wollaston polarizer separates the spectra of the two polarizations in opposite directions from the center of the photocathode perpendicular to the direction of spectral dispersion. The locations at which each photon reaches the photocathode is determined by the ratios of the charges read from the four corners of the resistive anode. One of the two address coordinates that determine where in histogramming memory each photon is recorded is obtained by measuring the time of arrival of the photon at the detector relative to the pulse of light that excites the fluorescence. The second address coordinate is obtained by combining the most-significant bit of the location of the event along the direction on the resistive anode corresponding to the polarization of the photon with the multibit digital value indicating photon wavelength. Storing the data directly into histogramming memory permits display of the data set as it is recorded. Both the spectral and temporal calibrations of the fluorescence analyzer are independent of the polarization of the fluorescence. The approximate to 100 ps temporal resolution of the resistive-anode detector is well matched to the approximate to 1 ns full width at half-maximum pulses of Light produced by the synchrotron storage ring that we use as the excitation source, but laser excitation could also be used with this detector. Recording simultaneously all of the data required for the global analysis of the time evolution of both linear polarization components of fluorescence, and thus, time-resolved anisotropy, reduces the duration of exposure of the sample to the excitation beam, hence, facilitating studies of fragile or photosensitive biological specimens.

AB We describe a fast and convenient method of high precision size and refractive index determination of electrodynamically levitated microdroplets using Fraunhofer diffraction. The diffraction data were obtained with a 16-bit, unintensified charge coupled device (CCD) camera, and converted into angle-resolved elastic scattering intensity patterns by means of a carefully determined set of transformation parameters. The angular scattering patterns were analyzed without any a priori estimate of the droplet size and only a nominal estimate (approximate to 2%) of the refractive index. Experimental angular scattering patterns were fit to calculated patterns from Mie theory using a graded step-size and scaling algorithm and optimized with respect to both droplet diameter and refractive index (real part only) with a precision of less than or equal to 3 parts in 10(4) and 1 part in 10(3), respectively. Potential application to quantitative fluorescence and Raman spectroscopy, as well as mixture analysis in microdroplets is discussed. (C) 1997 American Institute of Physics.

AB Stripping efficiencies for Kr+, Xe+, and Pb+ beams in helium and nitrogen gas targets have been measured at energies varying between 0.8 and 2.0 MeV. The stripping yields were determined for different target densities, ranging from single-collision conditions to equilibrium. Based on these results, approximate predictions of the equilibrium charge state distributions for low velocity (v/c=0.0040-0.0060) heavy ions with 281.1X10(7)), the zoom electrode of the first intensifier is gated using a similar to 10 kV laser triggered spark gap.

AB The temperature dependence of the lifetimes of two phosphors, La2O2S:Eu and Mg4FGeO6:Mn is presented from 300 to 11 and 140 to 8 K, respectively. Emission from the D-5(3) State of La2O2S:Eu reveals a strong temperature dependence from 11 to about 130 K, where the signal becomes too weak to measure accurately. Emission from the F-4(2) State of Mg4FGeO6:Mn changes throughout the temperature range measured. Both of these materials are used for higher temperature thermometry applications. This work illustrates their utility down to liquid helium temperatures. (C) 1997 American Institute of Physics.
