We describe this singular event on different temporal scales, placing emphasis on the magnetic field observations. The solar wind preceding the shock presented very unusual long-lived conditions: for about one day the interplanetary magnetic field was closely radially oriented and this was associated with a strong anisotropy in proton temperature (T-P parallel to/T-P < 1). The wave activity in the upstream and downstream regions have the largest spatial extent for any interplanetary shock wave reported before. In the foreshock region we identified 10(-2) Hz waves and continual distributions of backstream ions up to 28.5 hours (greater than or equal to 0.29 AU) ahead of the shock. The downstream region was characterized by large amplitude, low frequency (f less than or equal to 10(-3) Hz), compressive perturbations for about 34 hours. The temporal fluctuations around the shock transition do not allow us to apply the techniques based on the Rankine-Hugoniot relations to infer the shock parameters.

We find that the total number of directional discontinuities selected by the Tsurutani and Smith (1979) method are the same in the north and south polar regions (within statistical errors) if the radial gradient is taken into account. We also find that tangential discontinuities (TDs) occur at edges of mirror mode structures. Approximately half of these structures are locally unstable. TDs are also associated with interplanetary current sheets, some of which are in regions of positive solar wind velocity gradients. To first order, we find no difference in the number of directional discontinuities, number of TDs, or the types of TDs in the north polar region from the south polar region.

Through the occurrence rates of directional discontinuities and tangential discontinuities, we find that there are three different regions around a high speed stream. The leading edge regions of the stream have the occurrence rate about 50 DDs/day and 10 TDs/day. These TDs are mostly associated with HCS crossings. Plasma beta and anisotropy R are relatively low. In the stream velocity peak region, the magnetic field magnitude is low and stable. The occurrence rate of DDs is twice as high as in other two regions, but there are very few or no TDs. The stream trailing regions have similar occurrence rates of DDs and TDs to the leading edge regions. However, the structures of the TDs are significant different. These TDs are mostly found at the edges of mirror-mode structures and with large beta and anisotropy ratios R. C1 UNIV LONDON IMPERIAL COLL SCI TECHNOL & MED, BLACKETT LAB, LONDON SW7 2BZ, ENGLAND.

The data examined range from approximately 50 degrees S heliolatitude to the maximum poleward extent of the Ulysses orbit, approximately 80 degrees S, and then back through the solar equator to 35 degrees N heliolatitude. During this traversal the radial distance of Ulysses ranged from 3.8 to 1.3 AU, allowing the same heliolatitude to be sampled at two different distances. The angular width of the electron strahl is found to be broader throughout the coronal hole region than that reported for high speed streams by in-ecliptic spacecraft during the mid 1970's. The average strahl width (full width at half maximum) extrapolated to 1 AU is found to be 49 degrees for 77 eV electrons. The strahl width broadens substantially between 1.3 and 2.3 AU after which the width is approximately constant. The broadening is greatest for the lower energy (77 eV) electrons. One might expect a broadening of the strahl if scattering dominates magnetic focusing of electrons caused by the decreasing magnetic field magnitude with increasing solar distance, The results presented here suggest that substantial wave-particle scattering of the electron strahl occurs, consistent with interpretations of the reduction in electron heat flux with increasing heliocentric distance measured by Ulysses.

Salient features of the flow poleward of +/-60 degrees revealed: 1) low variances of all bulk flow parameters, 2) parameter values that agree with those measured during high-speed conditions in the ecliptic plane when all are scaled to 1 AU, 3) the continuous presence of two interpenetrating proton streams that are not resolved in velocity space, 4) a single alpha-particle beam that travels at a speed that is close to the local Alfven speed faster than the primary proton beam, 5) a proton temperature that is a factor of 2.4 times that of the electrons, and 6) a constant helium abundance that averages 4.4%, about half that inferred from helioseismic data in the solar convection zone. These data are combined with a host of other remote-sensing solar data and solar wind data to develop support for a model of a well-mixed solar atmosphere that is driven by reconnection-generated plasma-jet transients. In this model, acceleration of the solar wind to its terminal speed is complete within a heliocentric distance of about 5 R(s). C1 USN, RES LAB, EO HULBURT CTR SPACE RES, WASHINGTON, DC 20375 USA.

In addition to structures such as Alfven waves, compressional features, and microstreams, the solar wind also contains low contrast pressure-balance structures (PBSs). The PBSs are marked by an anti-correlation of the plasma and field pressures; their signatures are often hidden by the comparatively larger effects of compressions. Previous studies of high-latitude solar wind structures have only shown a few examples of PBSs. In this study we examine Ulysses polar pass solar wind plasma and interplanetary magnetic field data sets to provide the first statistical analyses of high-latitude PBSs. Two independent lines of analysis are pursued: first, we identify 78 PBSs in the data and analyze their average properties compared to the rest of the solar wind; second, we use high pass filtering of the data to separate the pressure balance aspects of the solar wind from the longer period compressional features. While our findings indicate that PBSs occur more frequently at small than at large heliocentric distances, indicating a possible solar origin for these structures, they do not have characteristically different plasma or held properties from that of the rest of the polar solar wind. Such differences would indicate that PBSs are possibly the remnants of differing populations of solar wind source plasma back in the polar corona. Our null result does not support the suggestion that PBSs are the interplanetary signature of polar plumes. C1 CALTECH, JET PROP LAB, PASADENA, CA USA.

Ulysses observations offer a unique opportunity to search for plume remnants in the polar wind at larger distances. Pressure balanced structures (PBS), which might possibly be a signature of those features, have in fact been recently identified in its data. On the basis of previous work, which detected significant peaks (possibly related to plumes) in power spectra of solar wind parameters, we present here the results from a similar research. However, our analysis does not confirm previous findings, because Fewer spectra bear no evidence of significant periodicities, This result allows for different interpretations, but does not rule out the presence of a typical periodicity in the data. By developing a simple 2-D model for structures traversed by Ulysses? we show how easily, even if they were regularly distributed, the original periodicity may become hardly identifiable in power spectra analyses. We conclude that this is not a viable technique for tracing plumes in the solar wind and we suggest alternative means for an unambiguous identification of these features.

Correlations between the observations were difficult to make during the ecliptic phase of the Ulysses mission when the satellite footprint was at low heliographic latitudes and the Sun was particularly active. During its traversal to high southerly latitudes (February 1992 - September 1994), however, the correspondence became clearer for two reasons: 1)the radial velocity profiles of the high-latitude CMEs were better preserved since they were less likely to be driving shocks or to have interacted with high-speed streams; and 2) solar activity decreased, making it easier to discern individual and/or low-intensity events in the SXT images. We describe five Ulysses-observed CMEs which correlated with spatially and temporally isolated coronal X-ray events in the Yohkoh SXT images, concentrating on similarities and differences between their solar wind and coronal structures. Two of the five events appeared to have been initiated concurrently with active region (AR) hares. the other three involved the restructuring of low-intensity, polar crown arcades. Significantly, however, all five events exhibited an ''LDE'' signature, though only the two AR events generated a detectable signal above the GOES integrated background X-ray flux. The characteristics of the interplanetary CMEs were not well correlated with their coronal X-ray signatures: similar-looking coronal events produced very different interplanetary held structures, and different-looking coronal signatures evolved into remarkably similar structures at Ulysses. Although Eve suspect that all of the events may have had an initially helical field structure, only three of the events displayed coherent field rotations characteristic of nearly force-free flux ropes (two of these were associated with polar crown arcades and one with an AR flare). It appears that the most important factor in determining the magnetic field evolution of a CME in interplanetary space is its plasma beta, but that it is very difficult to predict the interplanetary beta based on the post-eruption coronal X-ray signature.

The Ulysses spacecraft reached heliographic latitudes of +/-80 degrees, providing a unique opportunity to study wave activity in fast solar wind emanating from polar coronal holes and to examine the differences relative to waves in the streamer belt. These data led to the discovery that many magnetic field depressions (magnetic holes) are populated by waves at the electron plasma frequency; such phenomena occur much more frequently in high-latitude, fast solar wind. At high latitudes, Ulysses frequently detected the waves conventionary assumed to be ion-acoustic waves; however, the electron-proton temperature ratio at these latitudes is always less than one, suggesting that the waves must be some other mode. Electrostatic and electromagnetic waves at lower frequencies also evidenced marked changes as Ulysses recurrently entered and exited the streamer belt during the ''fast latitude scan'' phase of its orbit. These variations with heliographic latitude, as well as variations with distance from the Sun, are presented and interpreted. C1 HUGHES STX CORP, LANHAM, MD 20706 USA.

We have investigated this CME, which was superimposed on an energetic particle event associated with a corotating interaction region (CIR), using energetic particle, plasma and magnetic field measurements. Ulysses' entry into the CME was accompanied by a strong decrease in the intensity of 1-3 MeV protons. The leading portion of the CME with a helical magnetic flux rope topology characteristic of magnetic clouds apparently consisted of closed magnetic loops as indicated by counterstreaming suprathermal electron fluxes along the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) and bi-directional streaming 0.4-0.7 MeV ions. In contrast, the absence of counterstreaming electrons and ions, the presence of sunward streaming 0.4-5 MeV ions and sunward bursts of suprathermal electrons at energies from similar to 40 eV up to several 100 eV inside another portion of the CME suggest that here the magnetic field lines were ''open'' i.e., with only one end rooted in the solar corona. These field lines were most likely connected to the reverse shock of a CIR beyond Ulysses. We suggest that 3-dimensional reconnection processes are responsible for the formation of magnetic flux rope CMEs from rising coronal loops leading to open and closed field topologies.

The shock excitation of pulsar powered nebulae (plerions) is discussed, based on recent theoretical work on the structure of relativistic, collisionless magnetosonic shock waves. This theory is used to outline a model in which the gamma(-2) injection spectrum of the Crab Nebula is satisfactorily accounted for. The same theory suggests a model of the ''wisp'' features in the Crab Nebula which accounts for these time variable features in the surface bightness as compressions associated with the magnetic overshoots within the shock structure. It is pointed out that this theory suggests observable variability in the high energy gamma rays from the Crab Nebula (epsilon > 50 MeV.) The energetics of pulsed gamma ray emission from the six known EGRET pulsars are reviewed and shown to fit a simple efficiency proportional to Phi(open)(-k) law, where k similar to 0.8 and Phi(open) = Omega*(2) mu/c(2) = 10(13) (P over dot(15)/P-3)(1/2) is a measure of the total voltage available on a pulsar's open field lines. Here P over dot(15) = P over dot(15)/10(-15). This result is used to define a criterion for cessation of gamma ray emission in voltage-P space, such that empirically pulsars should stop being gamma ray emitters when the total spindown luminosity falls to similar to 2 10(32) ergs/sec. A simple result of the same form as the empirical gamma ray emission efficency is derived for the acceleration efficiency of particle beams extracted from the polar cap, and for high voltage pulsars, where curvature radiation reaction is important, equated to the gamma ray efficiency. However, it is also argued that since radio emission from the polar caps continues to lower voltages and spin down luminosities than inferred for the gamma ray emission, that this correspondence is a coincidence and that the EGRET gamma rays come from the outer magnetosphere. The most popular of outer magnetosphere models are shown to be unable to simultanously account for gamma ray efficiencies approaching unity and having most of the gamma ray luminosity in sharp pulses, suggesting that the gamma ray emission has something to do with dense return current boundary layers whose physics has yet to be quantified.

It also possesses the highest inferred magnetic field (1.6 10(13) G at the surface) among high-energy pulsars. In this paper, we explore the possibility that the unusually soft spectrum is a manifestation of this high magnetic field. The high magnetic field, particularly near the surface, provides two mechanisms for annihilation of high-energy photons: photon-magnetic field pair production and single photon splitting in high magnetic fields. We conclude that the above two mechanisms can only produce a spectral turnover at greater than or similar to 100 MeV with a conventionally estimated polar cap. With observations constraining the spectral break to be lower than 50 MeV, an enlargement of the emission polar cap by at least twice in radius of that implied by the open field lines is required if those emissions originate from a polar cap region.

Specifically, we examine the role of stochastic particle acceleration from wave-particle resonant interactions in the accreting plasma. This process has been treated as diffusion (in momentum) and systematic acceleration in the particle's Fokker-Planck equation. Pair production, annihilation, radiative cooling and escape have also been included. We show that electrons can be accelerated beyond the thermal distribution to form a new population - a ''bump'' in the tail. Radiation by inverse Compton scattering off the thermal (from the background) and non-thermal (produced by acceleration) particles can in principle explain the hard X-ray to gamma-ray emissions from black hole candidates. We present model fits of Cyg X-1 and GRO J0422 in the 50 keV - 5 MeV region observed with OSSE and COMPTEL. C1 UNIV TEXAS,DEPT ASTRON,AUSTIN,TX 78712. LOS ALAMOS NATL LAB,LOS ALAMOS,NM 87545.

After similar to 2 years and several deep space orbits the spacecraft will eventually be injected into a halo orbit around the Sun-Earth L(1) point. Although TGRS is primarily designed to perform high resolution spectroscopy of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and solar flares, it equally well lends itself to the study of transient X-ray sources and, using an on-board passive occulter, the long-term monitoring of steady sources such as the Crab and the Galactic Center. Since launch, TGRS has been working exceedingly well and has proven to be very stable in its performance. TGRS has been detecting on the average similar to 5 GRBs per month and to date has observed three solar flares. Preliminary analysis of our data also indicates that TGRS is indeed sensitive to sources such as the X-ray transient GRO J1655-40, the Crab, and the Galactic Center.

We study the way in which the electron fraction in this environment is set by a competition between lepton (electron, positron, neutrino, and antineutrino) capture processes on free neutrons and protons and nuclei. Our calculations take explicit account of the effect of nuclear composition changes, such as formation of alpha particles (the ''alpha effect'') and the shifting of nuclear abundances in nuclear statistical equilibrium associated with cooling in near-adiabatic outflow. We take detailed account of the process of weak interaction freezeout in conjunction with these nuclear composition changes. Our detailed treatment shows that the alpha effect can cause significant increases in the electron fraction, while neutrino and antineutrino capture on heavy nuclei tends to have a buffering effect on this quantity. We also examine the effect on weak rates and the electron fraction of fluctuations in time in the neutrino and antineutrino energy spectra arising from hydrodynamic waves. Our analysis is guided by the Wilson and Mayle supernova code numerical results for the neutrino energy spectra and density and velocity profiles.

The process is a fluid analog to nonlinear Landau damping, in which two linear modes exchange energy, mediated by a virtual beat mode. The scattering rate is calculated for a thin fluid disk model, using a weak turbulence expansion. It is shown that down-scattering is related to outward angular momentum transport and hence plays a role in mass accretion. C1 LOS ALAMOS NATL LAB,LOS ALAMOS,NM 87545.

We find that the half-light radius of the Ha-emitting region (r(e,H alpha)) enters into several correlations that suggest it is physically related to the actual starburst radius. Most suggestively, the effective IR surface brightness (L(IR)/pi r(e,H alpha)(2)) correlates strongly with the far-IR color temperature. This can be reproduced roughly with an idealized model of a surrounding dust screen whose far-IR emissivity is determined by the local energy density of UV starburst light. Typical values for r(e,H alpha) are a few hundred pc to a few kpc (with the Ha emission being significantly more compact than the red starlight). This confirms the ''circumnuclear'' scales of typical starbursts. We show also that starbursts seem to obey a limiting IR surface brightness of about 10(11) L. kpc(2), corresponding to a maximum star formation rate of about 20 M. yr(-1) kpc(2) for a normal initial mass function. We argue that this upper limit suggests that starbursts are self-regulating in some way. We show that most of these galaxies have relatively normal, symmetric rotation curves. This implies that the galactic disk need not suffer severe dynamical damage in order to ''fuel'' a typical starburst. We show also that the starbursts occur preferentially in the inner region of solid-body rotation. This may reflect both bar-driven inflow of gas to the region between the inner Lindblad resonances and the dominance of gravitational instability over tidal shear in this region. Most of the starbursts reside in galaxies with rotation speeds of 120-200 km s(-1) (compared to 220 km s(-1) for a fiducial L* galaxy like the Milky Way). The lack of a correlation between galaxy rotation speed and starburst luminosity means that even relatively modest galaxies (masses approximate to 10% of the Milky Way) can host powerful starbursts. We argue on the basis of causality that the internal velocity dispersion in a starburst sets an upper limit to the star formation rate. The most extreme starbursts approach this limit, but most are well below. Finally, we show that the relative narrowness of the nuclear emission lines in starbursts (relative to the galaxy rotation speed) arises because the gas in the nuclear ''bin'' usually does not sample fully the solid-body part of the rotation curve. The narrow lines do not necessarily imply that the starburst is not in dynamical equilibrium. C1 LAWRENCE LIVERMORE NATL LAB, INST GEOPHYS & PLANETARY PHYS, LIVERMORE, CA 94550 USA.

The star and its planet act as a binary lens which generates a light curve that can differ substantially from the light curve due only to the star itself. We show that the planetary signal remains detectable for planetary masses as small as an Earth mass when realistic source star sizes are included in the light curve calculation. These planets are detectable if they reside in the ''lensing zone,'' which is centered between 1 and 4 AU from the lensing star and spans about a factor of 2 in distance. If we require a minimum deviation of 4% from the standard point-lens microlensing light curve, then we find that more than 2% of all M(+) planets and 10% of all 10 M(+) in the lensing zone can be detected. If a third of all lenses have no planets, a third have 1 M(+) planets, and the remaining third have 10 M(+) planets then we estimate that an aggressive ground-based microlensing planet search program could find one Earth-mass planet and half a dozen 10 M(+) planets per year.

Accretion of the interstellar medium onto an isolated black hole is expected to result in a blended, thermal synchrotron spectrum, roughly flat from the optical to the far-infrared. We find that the Sloan Survey will be sensitive to isolated black holes in the range 1-100 M. out to a few hundred parsecs. We find that multiband photometry can distinguish black holes from field stars, with black holes having colors similar to QSOs. The holes may then be isolated from QSOs because they have a featureless spectrum with no emission lines. The Sloan Survey will likely find hundreds of objects that meet these criteria, and to reduce the number of candidates we suggest other selection criteria such as infrared observations and proper-motion measurements. If no black hole candidates are found in this survey, important limits can be placed on the local density of black holes and the halo fraction in black holes.

Simulations are run at several stages of pollutant dilution by surrounding surface air. A threshold boundary layer NOx concentration of 300 pptv is established for significant production enhancements at upper levels. Areas defined by the 300 pptv level are examined in the Gaussian dispersion framework based on a wet season plume event observed in Amazonia. Pollution travels slowly in the sluggish winds of the equatorial trough. Daily storms are likely to interrupt the effluent while coverages are still on the order of few thousand square kilometers and NOx concentrations are above the threshold. Dry season plume sizes are difficult to assess because local concentration data are scarce, but it is conceivable that the faster trade winds lead to a several fold extension.

This suggests that the assumptions of previous models have been too restrictive. An alternative model of information gathering and mate choice, which relaxes the assumptions of random encounters and perfect information, is presented. In this Comparative Bayes model, the decision of when and from whom to collect information is made using Bayesian estimates of each male's quality. Predictions from the model are that: (1) the occurrence of mate assessment will increase as initial uncertainty about the quality of males increases, as the cost of gathering information decreases, and as the signal perceived by the female becomes a better representation of males' actual qualities; (2) the occurrence of repeat visits to males will be highest when signals from males are of medium reliability; and (3) the decision of which male to assess will depend on the estimated qualities of males, prior certainty about each male's quality, the reliability of each male's signal, and the costs of assessment. Simulations compare the fitness outcomes of the Comparative Bayes tactic to other mate choice tactics. The fitness from the Comparative Bayes tactic is significantly higher than from the fixed threshold tactic and than from the best-of-n tactic when the cost of assessment is low.

We tested for the latter using rubyspot damselflies (Hetaerina americana) as the predator. Previous work on this species showed that the red spots on male wings are intrasexually selected and reduce survival. Since female wings lack red spots, we first compared male and female weight gain rates per unit hunting time. Females gained weight significantly faster than males in both mg per hour and relative to body weight. We then compared the weight gain rates of females painted with red wing spots to those of control females painted with clear ink or not manipulated. Controls gained weight significantly faster than red-painted females. Behavioral observations revealed that red females attempted to capture prey at normal rates and experienced normal rates of agonistic interference from conspecifics of both sexes. Nevertheless, red females captured fewer prey per minute and per capture attempt than did sham-manipulated and unmanipulated controls. We infer that the red spots reduced female weight gain rates by increasing their visibility to prey. Close similarity between male and red female weight gain rates relative to unmanipulated females suggests that red spots may also be a hunting handicap for males.

Spin polarized spectra are presented for the radical pair TAPD(+.)NQ(-.) which is generated by light excitation of the complex at 30 K in 2-methyl-tetrahydrofuran and the liquid crystal BDH E7. In the liquid crystal, the complex is partially ordered and the spectra depend on the orientation of the sample with respect to the magnetic field. A qualitative interpretation of the spectra on the basis of the coupled, correlated radical pair (CCRP) model is presented. The spectra of the partially oriented samples clearly show that: (i) the exchange interaction, J, makes a substantial contribution to the coupling between the radicals and is of the same order of magnitude as the dipole-dipole coupling (ii) when this coupling is taken into account, the experimental spectra are consistent with the expected geometry of the complex. This system is one of the few cases in which the two couplings are of similar magnitude and allows their influence on the polarization pattern to be investigated. The value of J approximate to 0.1 mT obtained from the spectra is at least two orders of magnitude larger than that found in the analogous radical pair, P(+.)Q(-.), in photosynthetic reaction centres, although the average distance between the spins in the two systems differ at most by a factor of 1.5.

Salt-adaptated cells have the following features: an increased stability of Delta pH across the cytoplasmic membrane and a significantely lower rate of Delta pH formation across the thylakoid membrane. Therefore, during salt-adaptation, the cytoplasmic membrane takes over the role of primary energizing membrane from the thylakoid membrane. In contrast to non-adapted cells, Delta pH across the thylakoid membrane of salt-grown cells is higher under respiratory than under photosynthetic conditions.

Because Al has affinity for many of the same biological ligands as the essential mineral cations Ca, Mg, Zn, Fe, and Mn, we hypothesized that Al might show a pattern of developmental concentrations that was similar to one or more of these elements in the brain, a major target of Al toxicity. Concentrations of Al, Ca, Mg, Zn, Fe, and Mn were measured in spinal cord, brainstem, cerebellum, and forebrain of guinea pig fetuses on gestation day (GD) 30 and 45, at birth, and on postnatal day (PND) 3, 6, and 12. Dams were fed commercial guinea pig chow, which contained 47 mu g Al/g. Tissue Al and Mn were measured with electrothermal atomic absorption spectrophotometry (ETAAS), and the other elements with inductively coupled axial plasma spectroscopy (ICAP-AES). Al concentrations in the brain regions were highest in spinal cord, brainstem, and cerebellum, and decreased during late gestation and lactation. Al did not show marked increases in regional brain concentrations during the final third of gestation as did Fe, Mg, and Zn. In contrast to Fe and Ca, Al did not accumulate in placenta. Al was the only element to show higher concentrations in spinal cord than in any other tissue at birth. In summary, the tissue distribution of Al did not follow that of essential cations as examined in this study. C1 LAWRENCE LIVERMORE NATL LAB,DEPT NUTR,DAVIS,CA 95616.

Black women have higher bone densities than white women, but as the black population ages there will be an increasingly higher population of black women with osteoporosis. Strategies should be developed to reduce the risk of black women for fragility fractures. Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry measurements of the total body, femur, spine, and radius were performed on 503 healthy black and white women aged 20-80 years. Indices of bone turnover, the calcitrophic hormones, and radioisotope calcium absorption efficiency were also measured to compare the mechanisms of bone loss. The black women had higher BMD values at every site tested than the white women throughout the adult life cycle. Black women have a higher peak bone mass and a slightly slower rate of adult bone loss from the femur and spine, which are skeletal sites comprised predominantly of trabecular bone. Indices of bone turnover are lower in black women as are serum calcidiol levels and urinary calcium excretion. Serum calcitriol and parathyroid hormone levels are higher in black women and calcium absorption efficiency is the same in black and white women, but dietary calcium intake is lower in black women. Black and white women have a similar pattern of bone loss, with substantial bone loss from the femur and spine prior to menopause and an accelerated bone loss from the total skeleton and radius after menopause. The higher values for bone density in black women as compared with white women are caused by a higher peak bone mass and a slower rate of loss from skeletal sites comprised predominantly of trabecular bone. Low-risk strategies to enhance peak bone mass and to lower bone loss, such as calcium and vitamin D augmentation of the diet, should be examined for black women. The risk vs. benefits of hormonal replacement therapy should be determined, especially in older women. C1 BROOKHAVEN NATL LAB,UPTON,NY 11973.

Through the use of (i) 194 randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers from 14 select primers, (ii) measures of population diversity. and (iii) neighbor-joining analysis it was determined that the postfire aspen seedling population contains greater diversity within each of the four sampled stands than that found within all of the 10 sampled mature aspen stands that pre-existed tile file. Unlike previous studies, a large portion of the molecular variation in both the seedling and mature populations was partitioned among stands. Furthermore, variation was unexpectedly detected among ramets within each mature stand. The mature stands appear to be clonally derived, yet individual ramets within stands varied slightly and incrementally in their RAPD profile. These data suggest that somatic mutations may be occurring and accumulating in clonal aspen stands. A proposed scenario of stand establishment and development involving the accumulation of somatic mutations and elimination of genetically related seedlings arising from a rare founder event provides the theoretical basis for the observed differences among and within seedling and mature stands of aspen in Yellowstone National Park.

This consortium has the metabolic capability to degrade TNT to fatty acids. The growth of the consortium and the metabolism of TNT were greatly enhanced in the presence of an additional carbon source like pyruvate. The optimal concentration of pyruvate for the maximum rate of TNT degradation was 15-20 mM. Various intermediates of TNT metabolism were identified. The first step in the pathway was reduction of TNT to 4-amino-2,6-dinitrotoluene and 2-amino-4,6-dinitrotoluene, which were further reduced to 2,4-diamino,6-nitrotoluene. The next intermediate to appear in the culture medium was nitrobenzoic acid, followed by cyclohexanone, 2-methyl pentanoic acid, butyric acid, and acetic acid. A study using radiolabeled TNT showed that no CO2 was produced from TNT during metabolism. The mass balance of the radiolabeled study showed that 49.6% of the TNT was converted to acetic acid, 28% was assimilated into biomass as trichloroacetic acid precipitable materials, and the rest was distributed as various TNT intermediates. Most Desulfovibrio spp. are incomplete oxidizers that are unable to carry out the terminal oxidation of organic substrates. The major end product of TNT metabolism was acetic acid. The bacteria grew on all the TNT intermediates tested as sole source of carbon, except on acetic acid, confirming that the Desulfovibrio spp. have the enzymes necessary for complete degradation of TNT to acetate.

Distribution and mass transfer coefficients of the three substances were obtained by batch chromatography. The influence of feed concentration and flow rate on these parameters were discussed. The separation was simulated numerically and compared with experimental data. With this procedure, the separation of mixtures of fructose, mannitol and sorbitol by continuous annular chromatography (CAC) was calculated in advance, using only batch data. Additionally, the influence of rotation rate, column loading, eluent flow rate and feed concentration on the resolution of the individual peaks were investigated. With these results, the operation parameters for an industrial application of the CAC for this separation problem were determined.

The model is based on numerical integration of the master Liouville equation for spin-correlated (micellized) pairs and free (escaped) radicals. The diffusion of radicals is considered in terms of a supercage model. This approach is used to analyze data on laser flash photolysis of C-13-carbonyl labelled ketone alpha-deoxybenzoin in aqueous sodium alkyl(10-12) sulphate solutions. EPR lines of C-13-benzoyl radicals exhibit antiphase structure (APS) typical of spin-correlated pairs. Due to very large APS splitting, 0.8-1.5 mT, the ST0 polarized lines from free benzoyl radicals can be isolated spectrally. The observed line shape of the APS cannot be accounted for in the standard model of effective exchange potential. The shape of the APS is shown to be controlled by spin exchange relaxation in micellized pairs. C1 ARGONNE NATL LAB,DIV CHEM,ARGONNE,IL 60439. TOHOKU UNIV,DEPT CHEM,SENDAI,MIYAGI 98077,JAPAN.

The CoMFA/3D-QSAR model is statistically robust and internally consistent, and successfully illustrates that the overall steric and electrostatic properties of structurally diverse ligands for the estrogen receptor are both necessary and sufficient to describe the binding affinity. The ability of the model to accurately predict the En binding affinity of an external test set of molecules suggests that structure-based 3D-QSAR models may be used to supplement the process of endocrine disrupter identification through prioritization of novel compounds for bioassay. The general application of this 3D-QSAR model within a toxicological framework is, at present, limited only by the quantity and quality of biological data for relevant biomarkers of toxicity and hormonal responsiveness.

This behavior is especially unusual because these compounds are apparently cubic over their entire existence range. Detailed structural studies of ZrW2O8 were conducted using high-resolution neutron powder diffraction data taken at 14 temperatures from 0.3 to 693 K. Below 428 K, ZrW2O8 adopts the acentric space group P2(1)3 and has a well-ordered structure containing corner-sharing ZrO6 octahedra and two crystallographically distinct WO4 tetrahedra. Above the phase transition at 428 K, which appears to be second order, the space group becomes centric Pa(3) over bar. The structure is now disordered with one oxygen site 50% occupied, suggesting the possibility of high oxygen mobility. Oxygen motion above 428 K is also suggested by dielectric and ac impedance measurements. The negative thermal expansion of ZrW2O8 and HfW2O8 is related to transverse thermal vibrations of bridging oxygen atoms. These lead to coupled rotations of the essentially rigid polyhedral building blocks of the structure. A semiquantitative model for both the negative thermal expansion and phase transition of these materials is proposed in light of the diffraction results.

The procedure employs multicolour FISH with chromosome-specific DNA painting probes plus DAPI staining for detecting both balanced and unbalanced chromosomal aberrations in mouse first-cleavage (1-CI) zygote metaphases, Four composite probes specific for chromosomes 1, 2, 3 or X, each labelled with biotin, plus a composite probe specific for chromosome Y labelled with digoxigenin, were used. We applied this method to evaluate the effects of paternal exposure to acrylamide, a model germ cell clastogen. First-cleavage zygote metaphases, collected from untreated females mated to males whose sperm or late spermatids were treated with acrylamide, were scored for the induction of structural aberrations using both chromosome painting (PAINT analysis) and DAPI analysis. Structural chromosomal aberrations were observed in the sperm-derived, but not in the egg-derived, pronuclei. While 59.4% of the zygotes had structural aberrations by DAPI analysis, 94.1% of the same zygotes had structural aberrations by PAINT analysis (P<0.001), illustrating the increased sensitivity for detecting translocations and insertions obtained by adding chromosome painting. These findings show that FISH painting of mouse 1-CI zygotes when used in conjunction with DAPI analysis is a powerful model for investigating the cytogenetic defects transmitted from father to offspring.

The adsorption of Co2+ (Co-only) and the acid form of NTA (NTA-only) by gibbsite in 0.01 M NaClO4 exhibit cation-like and anion-like adsorption edges, respectively. For the equal-molar CoNTA chelate, Co and NTA adsorption edges were similar but not identical to the Co-only and NTA-only edges. Differences suggest the existence of a ternary CoNTA surface complex with the Co in the intact chelate coordinated to surface hydroxyls. NTA-only adsorption was insensitive to ionic strength variation, indicating weak electrostatic contributions to surface coordination reactions. This is consistent with the formation of inner-sphere surface NTA complexes and ligand exchange reactions in which monodentate, bidentate and binuclear NTA surface complexes form. Cobalt adsorption increases (edge shifts to lower pH by 1 pH unit) on LSA gibbsite as ionic strength increases from 0.01 to 1 M NaClO4. For the same ionic strength change, a similar shift in the Co-only edge was observed for another commercial gibbsite (16.8 m(2) g(-1)); however, no change was observed for delta-Al2O3. Ionic strength shifts in Co2+ adsorption by gibbsite were described as an outer-sphere CoOH+ surface complex using the triple-layer model. Results suggest that, at waste disposal sites where Co-60 and NTA have been co-disposed, NTA will not promote ligand-like adsorption of Co for acid conditions, but will reduce cation-like adsorption for basic conditions. Thus, where gibbsite is the dominant mineral sorbent, NTA will not alter Co-60 mobility in acidic pore waters and groundwaters; however, NTA could enhance Co-60 mobility where alkaline conditions prevail, unless microbial degradation of the NTA occurs.

The example problem involves cyclic simple shearing of a hypoelastic material, wherein the increments of stretch and of rotation are of comparable magnitude. It is demonstrated that two kinematic algorithms that are in common use, and which are only weakly objective, give rise to an accumulative error in the normal stress components. The error is surprisingly large, even for very small strain increments. This behaviour arises due to a coupling between the stretch and rotation increments that is exhibited by weakly objective algorithms, and is perhaps especially serious in the context of models for jointed rock and other frictional materials, in which the shear response may depend strongly on the normal components of stress.

A protein structure template is given as a sequence of amino acid residue positions in three-dimensional space, along with an array of physical properties attached to each position; these residue positions are sequentially grouped into a series of core secondary structures (central helices and beta sheets). In addition to match scores and gap penalties, as in a traditional sequence-sequence alignment problem, the quality of a structure-sequence alignment is also detemined by interaction preferences among amino acids aligned with structure positions that are spatially close (we call these 'long-range interactions'). Although it is known that constructing such a structure-sequence alignment in the most general form is NP-hard, our algorithm runs in polynomial time when restricted to structures with a 'modest' number of long-range amino acid interactions. In the current work, long-range interactions are limited to interactions between amino acids from different cove secondary structures. Dividing the series of core secondary structures into two subseries creates a cut set of long-range interactions. If we use N, M and C to represent the size of an amino acid sequence, the size of a structure template, and the maximum cut size of long-range interactions respectively, the algorithm finds an optimal structure-sequence alignment in O(21(C)NM) time, a polynomial function of N and M when C = O(log(N + M)). When running on structure-sequence alignment problems without long-range intersections, i.e. C = O, the algorithm achieves the same asymptotic computational complexity of the Smith-Waterman sequence-sequence alignment algorithm.

Program XYZ converts bearings to positions. It determines x, y, z coordinates of points from relative bearings from two base stations of known relative position. Program LINES uses the output of XYZ. It converts the x, y, z coordinates of three points into the equation of a plane, yielding strike and dip of that plane. Then it uses bearings from one base station to points on a cliff face, and calculates their x', z' coordinates for either direct measurement of features, or determination of the scale of a photograph. An example demonstrates the application of the program to scale the photograph of an exfoliation fracture. C1 BEN GURION UNIV NEGEV,DEPT GEOL & MINERAL,IL-84105 BEER SHEVA,ISRAEL.

We found that cBN could be synthesized below the threshold temperature on top of cBN that had been previously formed above the threshold temperature. That the initial nucleation of cBN is more strongly dependent on temperature than its subsequent growth is suggested. How the structure of the sp(2)-bonded BN that accompanied cBN growth changed with temperature was also investigated. Lowering the substrate temperature decreased the local ordering within the graphitic planes, and below the threshold temperature the separation of the graphitic planes increased dramatically. How these structural changes may influence the nucleation of cBN is discussed. C1 SANDIA NATL LABS,ALBUQUERQUE,NM 87185. RP McCarty, KF (reprint author), SANDIA NATL LABS,LIVERMORE,CA 94550, USA.

The meteorites were recovered from a 3.5 m thick quarried interval in the middle of a 30 m thick section of Orthoceratite Limestone. The section formed in an epicontinental sea at very slow sedimentation rates, approximate to 0.2 cm/ka. The limestones of the lower two-thirds of the section are reddish brown, except in the quarried interval, where a conspicuous 1 m thick grey limestone bed occurs. Ten of the meteorites were found in a thin bed below the grey limestone, one was found in the grey limestone and two in the red limestone above. The meteorites are almost completely pseudomorphosed, primarily by calcite and barite. They were identified by their content of chromite grains and chondrule pseudomorphs. The central part of one of the meteorites shows iridium (800 ppb), gold (550 ppb) and chromium (4400 ppm) concentrations in typical chondritic abundances. Centimeter-resolution profiles for iridium and eight other elements have been established through the quarried interval (at a site at 4 km distant from the meteorite-producing quarry). In the reddish brown parts, Ir concentrations (carbonate-free basis) lie typically in the range 300-400 ppt, compared with approximate to 50 ppt Ir in average shale. In the grey limestone the Ir concentrations are lower, around 100-150 ppt. Iridium correlates with iron, and appears to be related to sedimentation rate and/or iron redox state rather than to any variations in the composition of the siliciclastic fraction. With estimated sedimentation rates as above, the excess rr flux to the sediment was 30 ng/cm(2) Ma, which is a factor 2-3 higher than the present total Ir flux and one order of magnitude higher than the extraterrestrial Ir flux to the Pacific Sea floor. Our data cannot discriminate to what extent the Ordovician Ir enrichments are related to extraterrestrial matter or to precipitation of Ir from seawater. In recent deep-sea sediments, seawater-derived Ir enrichments are associated with Mn-oxides, but no similar association occurs in the Orthoceratite Limestone. The ten meteorites in the bed below the grey limestone reflect minimum meteorite-accumulation rates of one meteorite per 150 m(2) and 175 ka. Probably the ten meteorites are related to a local strewn field rather than to background influx. Minimum accumulation rates calculated on three meteorite finds > 20 g in the entire quarried interval give one meteorite per 570 m(2) and 1.17 Ma, which is one order of magnitude higher than present-day large-area averaged meteorite influx rates. The probability is low that the small area (< 1700 m(2)) of the sea-floor studied would happen to be one where an unusually high number of meteorites struck. Our results may reflect that meteorite, and possibly also extraterrestrial Ir, influx rates were substantially higher than at the present during a period in the early Ordovician. Enhanced influx rates could be related to an asteroid collision in space. C1 UNIV STOCKHOLM,DEPT GEOL & GEOCHEM,S-10691 STOCKHOLM,SWEDEN. UNIV CALIF BERKELEY,LAWRENCE BERKELEY LAB,BERKELEY,CA 94720.

Standardized, short-term tests with fish, aquatic invertebrates or algae are commonly used to estimate the acute or chronic toxicity of wastewaters; this is referred to as effluent testing. The methods used for testing effluents also can be used to assess water quality in receiving streams: in this application, the procedures are referred to as ambient testing. Despite similarity in methods, the major objective of effluent testing differs importantly from that of ambient testing. In effluent testing, the key objective is to determine how toxic an effluent is; in ambient testing, the main objective usually is that of determining if the water at a site is toxic. This difference is subtle but very important: it shapes the strategy for cost-effective ambient testing, and determines the framework for effective statistical analysis and interpretation of ambient toxicity test results. Specific case-study examples are provided demonstrating the kinds of information that can be extracted from ambient toxicity testing by use of different statistical methods, including analysis of variance, contingency-table analysis, and two types of multivariate procedures (principal components analysis and logistic regression). Examples also are given supporting the idea that an effective ambient testing programme should be long-term, and contain a diagnostic-testing component analogous to the toxicity identification procedures used to supplement effluent-testing programmes. Recommendations derived as 'lessons learned' from large-scale ambient toxicity testing programmes for receiving streams at Department of Energy facilities include: (1) testing more frequently with one species (preferably Ceriodaphnia) generally is more effective, in terms of information gained per dollar spent, than testing less frequently with two or more species; (2) use five or more sites per test period, plus two or more reference sites, whenever possible; (3) use four to six test periods per year; and (4) use diagnostic testing to supplement the ambient-testing programme. Various laboratory and in situ methods for environmental assessment are now under development, but these methods probably will not gain acceptance for use in regulatory situations for many years. Rapid growth in need for ecological risk assessments outstrips the rate at which new test procedures are approved for regulatory purposes. Thus, laboratory tests for estimating possible environmental impacts of toxic or disruptive pollutants are likely to be used more frequently during the next decade.

The sequence of 400-450 bases can be obtained from each capillary in less than an hour from sequencing reactions generated with four-color fluorescent terminators. Illumination of each capillary and collection of fluorescence is through individual optical fibers. Resolution of the DNA ladder is through a replaceable sieving matrix of linear polyacrylamide in reusable coated capillaries. Light from an argon ion laser is introduced into a fused biconically tapered fiber-optic splitter, and individual fibers deliver approximately 10 mW of 514 nm light to each of the eight electrophoresis capillaries. Illumination and collection are by fibers normal to the surface of the electrophoresis capillary and at right angle to each other. Illumination by a fiber with low numerical aperture and collection by a fiber with high numerical aperture provides good sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratios without the need for microlenses (limit of detection: 1.5 x 10(-11) M fluorescein analog dye with a signal-to-noise ratio of 2). The eight collection fibers are passed in parallel through holographic filters for Rayleigh rejection and into an imaging spectrograph, which simultaneously displays the full fluorescence spectrum (475-648 nm) from the eight capillaries in parallel on the surface of an intensified charge-coupled device (CCD). The CCD is read out at a rate of 3.4 complete images per second. RP Quesada, MA (reprint author), BROOKHAVEN NATL LAB,DEPT BIOL,UPTON,NY 11973, USA.

The congealed sludge in these tanks traps the gases beneath it and causes the level of the waste within the tanks to rise. The waste level continues to rise until the sludge loses its buoyancy and rolls over, changing places with fluid on top. During a rollover, the trapped gases are released, resulting in a sudden drop in the waste level. This is known as a gas release event (GRE). After a GRE, the waste re-congeals and gas again accumulates, leading to another GRE. We are interested in the time between consecutive GREs. Understanding the probabilistic behaviour of the time between consecutive GREs is important because the hydrogen and nitrous oxide gases released during a GRE are flammable and the ammonia that is released is a health risk. From a safety perspective, activity around such waste tanks should be halted when a GRE is imminent. With a credible probability model for the time between consecutive GREs, we can establish time windows in which waste tank research and maintenance activities can be safely performed. We discuss the application of non-linear time series models to this problem. C1 UNIV CALIF RIVERSIDE, DEPT STAT, RIVERSIDE, CA 92521 USA.

Benzene and toluene were found to activate cyclin-dependent kinase 2 in rat liver epithelial (RLE) and HL60 cells. pRb105 was hyperphosphorylated in RLE cells treated with either solvent. Kinase activation and subsequent hyperphosphorylation of pRb105 and p53 by benzene or toluene may be responsible for their growth promotional effects, but it does not account for increased potential of benzene to induce cancer. Therefore, we examined the ability of these solvents to increase p53-DNA site-specific binding in RLE cells. Benzene increased p53-DNA site-specific DNA binding in RLE cells compared to control levels or the effects of toluene. Increased p53-DNA site-specific binding by benzene may be caused by damage to cellular DNA. If so, although both solvents appear to have promotional activity, the increased potential of benzene to damage DNA may be responsible to the difference in the ability of benzene to cause cancer.

This cellular model was linked to a probit model of hematopoietic mortality that describes death from infection and/or hemorrhage between 5 and 30 days. Mortality data from 27 experiments with 851 dose-response groups, in which doses were protracted by rate and/or fractionation, were used to simultaneously estimate all rate constants by maximum-likelihood methods. Data used represented 18,940 test animals: 12,827 mice, 2925 rats, 1676 sheep, 829 swine, 479 dogs, and 204 burros. Although a long-term, repopulating hematopoietic stem cell is ancestral to all lineages needed to restore normal homeostasis. the dose-response data from the protracted irradiations indicate clearly that the particular lineage that is critical to hematopoietic recovery does not resemble stemlike cells with regard to radiosensitivity and repopulation rates. Instead, the weakest link in the chain of hematopoiesis was found to have an intrinsic radioresistance equal to or greater than stromal cells and to repopulate at the same rates. Model Validation has been achieved by predicting the LD(50) and/or fractional group mortality in 38 protracted-dose experiments (rats and mice) that were not used in the fitting of model coefficients.

Because of uncertainties in release histories and transport, traditional sampling and statistical techniques applicable to the experimental sciences may not be suitable for exploratory studies at hazardous waste sites. An approach that relies on cluster analysis of principal components (PCA) was used to identify contaminated wild asparagus (Asparagus officinalis) growing in the vicinity of waste disposal sites along the Columbia River at the U.S. Department of Energy's Hanford Site in southeast Washington state. Metals in soil samples taken from the sites contained elevated levels of Ag, Al, Ba, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb, Sb, Zn, and V. Samples of asparagus tissue were collected from the river near the waste site, from Hanford old fields abandoned 52 years ago, and from commercial fields in the neighboring communities. Dried tissues were analyzed for metals content by ICP-mass spectrometry, furnace AA, and cold vapor Ak Tissue concentrations of elements varied over 5 orders of magnitude, from K at 46 900 ppm to As and Ag at maximum concentrations below 1 ppm. PCA produced four components that accounted for 66.2% of the metals variance. Subsequent cluster analysis using Ward's minimum variance separated the data into Columbia River and old-field groups, with the River group further divided into three clusters: plants primarily upriver from the waste sites, plants primarily downriver, and plants growing in or near the waste sites. The clustering showed that the more soluble components of the discharges (Ba and Ca) showed a pattern of distribution in the asparagus plants consistent with the ground water flow pattern, in that these elements were found far downriver of the disposal sites themselves. In contrast, the less mobile elements Al, Cd, Cr, Fe, Mn, Tl, and Zn were elevated only near the most-recently used waste disposal area. Asparagus from agricultural fields, including fields abandoned 50 years ago, contained higher concentrations of Fe, Cu, Pb, K, and Ni than did the wild riverine plants.

A conventional bulk method recommends completely filling a sample container with soil; a less commonly used methanol method recommends placing a soil aliquot into methanol. Analytical results showed large negative biases associated with the bulk samples as compared to the methanol samples for aromatic compounds. Order of magnitude differences in concentrations measured between the methods were observed for benzene and toluene. Lesser differences were noted for xylenes and ethylbenzene. Limited data for chlorinated compounds suggest behavior similar to the aromatic species. A limited spike recovery study was conducted using the methanol method on laboratory and field samples. Samples were analyzed 82 days after spike addition. Poorer spike recoveries were noted from spiked methanol vials transported to the field and used for collection of soil samples. Differences between mean recovery values for the laboratory and field samples appear to be the result of losses during sample collection and transport. Despite the 82-day holding time, spike recoveries were within 70% of initial spike concentrations. These results demonstrate the stability of using methanol as a preservative for soil samples.

We have investigated the nature of the Pd/Fe surface by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Our results indicate that the reactive Pd/Fe surface is formed by the stepwise reduction of Pd(IV) in solution to Pd(II), which replaces protons on the hydroxylated iron oxide surface and forms Pd(II)-0-Fe bonds. These-bonds are unstable and collapse spontaneously to yield the reactive palladized iron in which the palladium is in the elemental state. Prolonged exposure of this Pd/Fe surface to a saturated solution of aqueous TCE results in the growth of the hydroxylated iron oxide film that deactivates the Pd/Fe surface. The thick hydroxylated iron oxide film can be removed, and the original activity of the Pd/Fe surface can be restored by washing the surface with a dilute acid solution.

However, no full life-cycle chronic marine or estuarine tests have been conducted for this purpose. In this study, cohorts of newborn amphipods, Leptocheirus plumulosus, were exposed to cadmium-spiked estuarine sediment for 28 d to determine effects on mortality, growth, and reproduction relative to interstitial water and SEM/AVS normalization. Seven treatments of cadmium were tested: 0 (control), 0.34, 0.74, 1.31, 1.55, 2.23, and 4.82 M SEM(Cd)/AVS ratios (measured concentrations). Interstitial water cadmium (IWCd) and sediment concentrations of SEM(Cd) and AVS were monitored periodically and by depth during the exposure. When sediment SEM(Cd)/AVS ratios were less than or equal to 1.55, mean IWCd concentrations were less than the 96-h water-only cadmium LC50 for juvenile and subadult L. plumulosus, and mortality, growth, and reproduction were not affected. When SEM(Cd)/AVS ratios were greater than or equal to 2.23, IWCd concentrations were more than 100 times greater than the 96-h water-only cadmium LC50, and all amphipods died. These results are consistent with predictions of metal bioavailability from acute tests with metal-spiked sediments, i.e., that sediments with SEM(Cd)/AVS ratios <1 are not toxic, while sediments with SEM(Cd)/AVS ratios >1 may be toxic.

It is based on a surface oxidation reaction that erodes the particle surface until the particle disappears. A monodisperse particle size distribution is assumed with a reaction rate that is proportional to the surface area remaining and a dimensional exponent that relates the surface area to the particle volume. The model is fit to time course data from a number of experiments conducted using synthetic FeS at various pHs, oxygen concentrations, and ionic strengths. The reaction rate constants are modeled using a surface complexation model. It is based upon the formation of two activated surface complexes with molecular oxygen, one of which is charged. The complexation model provides a good fit to the variation of the reaction rate constant with respect to O-2, pH, temperature, and ionic strength. The dimensional exponent nu increases with pH from values characteristic of plates and needles to values reflecting more spherical particles, presumably due to coagulation. However the increase in nu with respect to O-2 at high concentrations is unexplained. C1 HYDROQUAL INC,MAHWAH,NJ 07431. CKY INC,OAK RIDGE NATL LAB,OAK RIDGE,TN 37831.

The metal activity in the solution phase was measured using specific ion electrodes. The metal sorption due to acid-volatile sulfide was subtracted from the total sorbed metal to produce the metal bound to other sediment phases. Organic carbon normalized isotherms provide a reasonable representation of the metal sorption. Partition coefficients and capacities are calculated for pH = 6, 7, and 8 (for Cd). The organic carbon normalized isotherm parameters for the sediments are compared to those reported for soils and sludges. The comparisons for cadmium exhibit differences for which no ready explanations are available. For copper and lead, however, the differences can be attributed to the use of specific ion electrodes for measuring metal activity in the sediment experiments. The cadmium sediment partition coefficients contribute a small increment to the sediment quality criteria. For copper and lead, however, the additional binding to sediment organic carbon is significant and can amount to 1 to 10 and 10 to 100 mu mol/g dry weight for lead and copper, respectively, depending on the organic carbon concentration of the sediment.

In males, the age and total length ranged from 12 yr to 19 yr and from 133 cm to 204 cm and in females from 14 yr to 36 yr and from 197 cm to 254 cm. The majority of males were 13-16 yr old, and females were 16-20 yr old. Some females had residual atretic ovarian bodies, presumably remaining from a previous spawning and indicating iteroparity. Pre-ovulatory condition was recognized by migration of the germinal vesicle or by germinal vesicle breakdown and by significantly elevated plasma gonadotropins, progesterone, and vitellogenin. All pre-ovulatory females were captured upriver from Hudson River kilometer 136. Individual fecundity ranged from 0.4 million to 2.0 million eggs and oocyte diameter from 2.4 mm to 2.9 mm, and both characters exhibited a significant (p < 0.05) positive relationship with female body size. Iteroparous females, tentatively identified by the presence of atretic bodies remaining in the ovary from a previous spawning, had significantly (p < 0.05) higher fecundity and produced larger eggs, compared with females spawning presumably for the first time.

Nifedipine treatment resulted in an 18% decrease in fat pad weights (P<0.007) and a 74% decrease in adipose FAS activity (P=0.03), normalized circulating insulin levels and insulin sensitivity (P<0,05), and transiently elevated core temperature in the transgenic mice, but was without effect in the control mice, These data suggest that agouti regulates FAS, fat storage, and possibly thermogenesis, at least partially, via a [Ca2+](i)-dependent mechanism, and that Ca2+ channel blockade may partially attenuate agouti-induced obesity.

This relation is shown to hold with an accuracy of up to similar to 3% for all well-established nonets. It also suggests a new q (q) over bar assignment for the scalar meson nonet.

Tadpoles of the bullfrog (Rana catesbeiana) collected in a coal ash deposition basin (contaminated with As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Se and other elements) and a downstream drainage swamp had a reduced number of labial teeth and deformations of labial papillae when compared with tadpoles from reference areas. Tadpoles from the coal ash-affected areas had 90% fewer teeth in anterior tooth row number 2 and 40% fewer teeth in posterior row number 1 than reference animals. In the deposition basins, drainage swamp and reference ponds, respectively 96.2, 85.1 and 2.9% of tadpoles had oral deformities. 2. Tadpoles with deformities were less able to graze periphyton than were normal tadpoles, when tested in the laboratory. When presented with periphyton as a sole food source, tadpoles with deformed teeth had lower (negative) growth rates than those with normal teeth, which had slightly positive growth rates. When particulate food was also available, tadpoles grew well regardless of deformities. 3. It appears that the morphological deformities associated with this coal ash-polluted environment can have ecological ramifications for the affected organisms by Limiting the type of food that can be consumed and the ability to grow when multiple food types are unavailable.

Three configurations are discussed: the field-reversed configuration, the spheromak, and the Z-pinch. It is shown that by employing a two-dimensional compression, one can reach a breakeven condition with an energy input into the plasma as low, as 100 kJ. Typical initial dimensions of the liner are length, 5 to 6 cm; radius, similar to 1 cm; and wall thickness, similar to 0.01 cm. Liner mass is in the range of a few grams. It is assumed that the initial plasma beta is of the order of unity; in this case, the final beta is much greater than 1, and the plasma is in a wall confinement regime. Typical plasma parameters for the final state (for the linear compression ratio equal to 10) are density, 10(21) cm(-3); temperature, 10 keV; and magnetic field, 10(7) G. A brief discussion of various phenomena affecting the wall confinement is presented (magnetic field diffusion, radiative losses, and impurity penetration); the conclusion is drawn that the heat losses to the walls are modest and are nor a factor that limits plasma enchancement Q. It is shown that at least for relatively thin liners, whose compressibility can be neglected, what limits Q is a relatively short liner dwell time near the maximum compression point. The scaling law for the Q versus the input parameters of the system is derived, which shows a relatively weak dependence of Q on the input energy Possible ways for increasing the dwell time are discussed. Reactor potentialities of the system are briefly, described. It is emphasized that the possibility of performing crucial experiments on small- to medium-scale experimental devices may considerably shorten the development path for the system under consideration. Some nonfusion applications of the system described are mentioned. Among them are burning and transmutation of long-lived fusion products, medical isotope production, a pulsed source of hard X rays, and fusion neutrons.

The NIF will be unique in its ability to address high energy density physics and to test fusion ignition in the laboratory. This is a major scientific step and has high appeal to scientists and engineers. The reason for taking this step now is the importance of high energy density physics for US policy on nuclear weapons. The fact that the same capability and experiments give the most fundamental information on the potential of inertial fusion for commercial energy, and have value for applications in astrophysics, further supports the case for proceeding with this facility.

However, the NIF primary criteria and functional requirements require the NIF design ''to not preclude'' the ability to conduct inertial confinement fusion experiments using the direct drive approach. The direct drive approach requires symmetrical illumination of an inertial confinement fusion (ICF) capsule where each beam fully subtends the capsule. Therefore, the re-directing of 24 of the 48 NIF beamlines (each consisting of a 2 x 2 beamlet group) from similar to 30 degrees and similar to 50 degrees cone angles to similar to 75 degrees cone angles located near the chamber 'equator' is required. This would be accomplished by adjusting intermediate transport mirrors such that the beams would intercept different final mirrors in the Target Bay and be directed into final optics assemblies attached to the chamber at the new port locations. Allowing space to be able to convert from one irradiation scheme to another while fully meeting the mechanical stability requirements for each approach is a significant challenge. Additionally, NIF user needs (features supporting weapons physics, weapons effects, inertial fusion energy, or Basic Energy Sciences) cannot be compromised by direct drive needs. The target for direct drive, absent a hohlraum, emits much fewer cold xrays than in the indirect drive case. Further, the irradiation scheme, by its nature, may not result in the absorption of all of the 3 omega light and therefore could create a unique hazard to the NIF chamber first wall of significant fluences of scattered UV laser light. This paper describes possible design features of the NIF Target Area to allow conversion to a direct drive capability, and discusses some of the differences in post-shot conditions created compared to indirect drive.

The spectral analysis of the images summed over l-modes 2 through 256 reveal that the surface roughness reaches values just below 1.0 mu m at temperatures of 19 K and above. Summing only modes l greater than or equal to 10, the partial surface roughness is below 0.7 mu m at 19.5 K. These results indicate that native beta-layering will be sufficient to meet the NIF requirements for DT ice surface finish for both Be and CH ablating shells. The toroidal cylinder incorporates a linear heater along the cylindrical axis to test the concept of surface enhancement due to heat assisted beta-layering in DT. Additionally, with the use of this heater it is possible to symmetrize a pure D-2 layer. C1 LAWRENCE LIVERMORE NATL LAB,LIVERMORE,CA 94551. GEN ATOM CO,LOS ALAMOS,NM 87545.

The overall ITER device parameters have been derived from the performance goals using physics guidelines based on the physics R&D results. The ITER-EDA design has a single-null divertor configuration (divertor at the bottom) with a nominal plasma current of 21 MA, magnetic field of 5.68 T, major and minor radius of 8.14 m and 2.8 m, and a plasma elongation (at the 95% flux surface) of similar to 1.6 that produces a nominal fusion power of similar to 1.5 GW for an ignited burn pulse length of greater than or equal to 1000 s. The assessments have shown that-ignition at 1.5 GW of fusion power can be sustained in ITER for 1000 s given present extrapolations of H-mode confinement (tau(E) = 0.85 x tau(ITER93H)), helium exhaust (tau*(He)/ 100 liter, 0.01-0.1 dpa/a) regions. Detailed test matrices have been defined for the high and medium flux regions, showing that on the basis of small specimen test technologies, a database for an engineering design of an advanced fusion reactor (DEMO) can be established for a variety of structural materials and ceramic breeders.

Two of these components are a final focusing lens, made of fused silica, and a frequency conversion crystal comprised of two potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP) crystals. The Rotating Target Neutron Source (RTNS-I), which was previously operated at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), has now been re-installed at UC Berkeley and is being used for the studies of neutron irradiation of fused silica and KDP. The machine has been installed so as to re-utilize the concrete structure that once housed the Berkeley Research Reactor, now decommissioned. The RTNS uses a 2 - 5 mA beam of deuterons impinging upon a spinning internally cooled tritiated copper target with a 110 Ci tritium inventory. Maximum beam energy is 399 KeV. The 14 MeV neutron production rate is 1.0 x 10(12) n/sec. Some new features of the machine include fiber-optic coupled microprocessor control of accelerator parameters, a cryogenic tritium collection system, and a scrubber system for exhaust tritium management.

The machine provides physics capabilities comparable to those of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) for pulse lengths up to 120 s, but lacks the nuclear component testing, superconducting magnet technology, and long-pulse aspects of ITER's mission. Strong plasma shaping is adopted to reduce the cost relative to ITER. Using ITER guidelines to evaluate the physics performance, this machine has the same ignition margin as ITER's, and operates within the limits on beta, density (i.e., the Greenwald density limit), and safety-factor specified in the ITER physics guidelines. Acceptable peak beat fluxes to divertor target surfaces are maintained with an attached, high-recycling divertor operating scenario typical of present-day machines.

This paper describes the results of the engineering portion of the study of this ''PCAST Machine;'' physics is covered in a companion paper authored by G.H. Neilson(2), et al; and the costs are covered in a companion paper by R.T, Simmons(3), et al. Both ate published in the proceedings of this conference. The study was undertaken by a team under the direction of Bruce Montgomery that included representatives from MIT, PPPL, ORNL, LLNL, GA, Northrup-Grumman, and Stone and Webster. The performance requirements for the PCAST machine are to form and sustain a burning plasma for three helium accumulation times. The philosophy adopted for this design was to achieve the required performance at lower cost by decreasing the major radius to five meters, increasing the toroidal field to 7 tesla, and using stronger shaping, The major device parameters are given in Table I.

The PCAST suggested that a device, operating with a moderate pulse length and corresponding reduced mission for ignition and burn control, could be built at a significantly lower cost than the present ITER design. If such a machine were technically feasible and less expensive than ITER, PCAST reasoned that the U.S. could participate as a full partner in an international collaboration to build such a device. The study's charter was to develop a design to meet the reduced mission and to compare its cost with ITER using ''ITER Physics.'' In addition, the study explored the cost and performance sensitivity to variations in design approach and physics performance. Finally, to better understand the cost of such a project in U.S. terms, the design example was also estimated in a U.S. Total Project Cost format. This paper details the cost estimate approach in arriving at the cost of the PCAST machine. Since the project schedule or funding profile are yet to be established, the cost comparisons based on percentage basis to ITER were more appropriate than absolute dollar comparisons. In addition, the costs of this device were also compared to the Burning Plasma Experiment(BPX) - a short pulse ignition device designed in the early 1990's, and the Tokamak Physics Experiment (TPX) a long pulse, advanced tokamak canceled recently by the Department of Energy (DOE) due to Congressional budget constraints. Comparisons were limited to construction costs since agreements between potential international partners on the PCAST machine could significantly impact the treatment of engineering/physics, R&D, and other costs such as construction management, engineering support during construction, and commissioning costs. The construction costs of the PCAST device were estimated to be approximately $2,600M. This is approximately 45% of the ITER construction costs, approximately 330% of the BPX estimate, and approximately 685% of the TPX estimate. Due to budget and time constraints, cost scaling was used versus performing a ''bottoms up'' estimate. This approach involves considerable uncertainty. Additionally, there was also a range of costs associated with future design development. Both considerations were clearly a factor in the PCAST machine where there was relatively little time for detailed evaluation, design development, or optimization. Given these uncertainties, we believe it is most appropriate to describe the construction estimate for the PCAST machine as approximately 50% of the cost of ITER, with a range of 40% to 60%. Using the U.S. Total Project Cost methodology, the total cost of the PCAST machine was estimated to be approximately $5.8 billion in FY-95 dollars, including contingency allowances.

High gain MTF targets require fusion ignition to occur in the magnetized fuel. Ignition requires the energy deposited by the charged fusion reaction products to exceed that lost from the plasma by a variety of loss mechanisms. We have used single particle tracking through a magnetized plasma to obtain preliminary results on the DT alpha particle deposition as a function of the plasma rho R and BR for a uniform spherically symmetric volume with a uniform B-theta magnetic field. More complicated plasma density, temperature, and field distributions can be handled by the code, including 2-D distributions, but the efficiency of this approach makes extensive calculations impractical. A more efficient approach is needed, particularly for use in dynamic calculations. However, particle tracking is useful for obtaining information for building more accurate models of the deposition for use in survey codes.

A semi-empirical formula developed from experimental data predicts the neutron yield of an IEC device, given the chamber size, grid radius and transparency, and operating voltage and current. Results from the IXL(TM) computer program support some of the scalings found in the semi-empirical formula. A second formula was also developed that predicts the neutron yield of an IEC device using grid design parameters and the ion core radius. The SIMION(TM) computer program was used to calculate the ion core radius. These formulas are useful tools for designing grids that will maximize the neutron yield for IEC devices.

Bigger targets and much lower initial target densities than in ICF can be used, reducing radiative energy losses. Therefore, ''liner-on-plasma'' compressions, driven by relatively inexpensive electrical pulsed power, may be practical. Potential MTF target plasmas must meet minimum temperature, density, and magnetic field starting conditions, and must remain relatively free of high-Z radiation-cooling-enhancing contaminants. At Los Alamos National Laboratory, computational and experimental research is being pursued into MTF target plasmas, such as deuterium-fiber-initiated Z-pinches,(3) and the Russian-originated ''MACO'' plasma.(4) In addition, liner-on-plasma compressions of such target plasmas to fusion conditions are being computationally modeled, and experimental investigation of such heavy liner implosions has begun. The status of the research will be presented. RP Sheehey, PT (reprint author), LOS ALAMOS NATL LAB,POB 1663,LOS ALAMOS,NM 87545, USA.

The paper covers several issues in the physics of ST plasmas, the technology of neutral beam injection, the engineering design configuration, and the center leg material under intense neutron irradiation. This progress was driven by the exciting data from pioneering ST experiments, a heightened interest in proof-of-principle experiments at the MA level in plasma current, and the initiation of the first conceptual design study of the small ST fusion core. The needs recently identified for a restructured fusion energy sciences program have provided a timely impetus for examining the subject of this paper.

This results in large part from the absence of a toroidal field coil and other structures linking the plasma along the geometric axis. However, because of the lack of a strong external magnetic field, the physics is more complex so that considerable research is required to learn how to achieve the reactor potential. Several critical physics issues are considered here, including stability to low mode number magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) modes, energy confinement, helicity injection and current drive, the magnetic turbulence associated with this dynamo, and the beta (ratio of plasma and magnetic pressures) which can be supported in the geometry.

The two confinement schemes, however, will have quite different time periods. Typical repetition rates for IFE power plants will be 1-5 Hz. MFE power plants will likely ramp up in current for about 1 hour, shut down for several minutes, and repeat the process. Traditionally, activation calculations for IFE and MFE power plants have assumed continuous operation and used either the ''steady-state'' (SS) or ''equivalent steady-state'' (ESS) approximations.(1-5) It has been shown, however, that the SS and ESS methods may not yield accurate results for all radionuclides of interest.(6) The present work expands that of Sisolak, et al. by applying their formulae to conditions which might be experienced in typical IFE and MFE power plants. In addition, complicated, multi-step reaction/decay chains are analyzed using an upgraded version of the ACAB radionuclide generation/depletion code.(7) Our results support previous work in the conclusion that the SS method is suitable for application to MFE power plant conditions.(6) We also find that the ESS method generates acceptable results for radionuclides with half-lives more than a factor of three greater than the time between pulses. For components that are subject to 0.05 Hz (or more frequent) irradiation (such as the first wall and coolant), use of the ESS method is recommended. For components or materials that are subject to less frequent irradiation (such as high-Z target materials), pulsed irradiation calculations should be used.

Neglect of sequential charged-particle (x,n) reactions can lead to a large underestimation in the inventories of radionuclides that make a significant impact upon various radiological indices.(1) We have adopted the PCROSS code for use with the ACAB activation code to enable calculation of the effects of (x,n) reactions upon radionuclide inventories and inventory-related indices.(2,3) The present work builds upon our previous work and the work completed by R. A. Forrest for magnetic fusion energy devices.(4,5) Using this capability we have performed activation calculations for Flibe (2LiF + BeF2) coolant in the HYLIFE-II inertial fusion energy (IFE) power plant design. For pure Flibe coolant, we find that (x,n) reactions dominate the residual contact dose rate at times of interest for maintenance and decommissioning. For impure Flibe, however, radionuclides produced directly in neutron reactions dominate the contact dose rate, and (x,n) reactions do not make a significant contribution. Our results demonstrate the potential importance of(x,n) reactions and that the relative importance of (x,n) reactions varies strongly with the composition of the material considered. Future activation studies should include (x,n) reactions in all calculations until a method for screening their importance in a particular situation has been established.

The GENII computer program was used to model releases of radionuclides during normal NIF operations and a postulated accident and to calculate radiation doses to the public. Health risks were estimated by converting the estimated doses into health effects using a standard cancer fatality risk factor. The greatest calculated radiation dose was less than one thousandth of a percent of the dose received from natural background radiation; no cancer fatalities would be expected to occur in the public as the result of normal NIF operations. The highest dose conservatively estimated to result from a postulated accident could lead to a one in one million risk of cancer.

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 laser beams onto a tiny deuterium- tritium target located at the center of a spherical target chamber. The NIF has been classified as a radiological, low hazard facility on the basis of a preliminary hazards analysis and according to the DOE methodology for facility classification. This requires that a safety analysis be prepared under DOE Order 5481.1B, Safety Analysis and Review System.(1) A draft Preliminary Safety Analysis Report (PSAR) has been written, and this will be finalized later in 1996, after independent review.(2) This paper summarizes the safety issues associated with the construction and operation of the NIF. It provides an overview of the hazards, estimates maximum routine and accidental exposures for the preferred site of LLNL, and concludes that the risks from NIF operations are low.

We concentrate on air because it is highly unlikely that the vanadium alloy will be used with a water coolant. We calculate the offsite dose using data from transpiration tests together with information from activation calculations and the radiological hazard of the material from a dose code. We compare the early dose as a function of temperature from V-4Cr-4Ti with the early dose from tungsten, copper, 316SS, and a low activation ferritic steel. The vanadium alloy dose is almost an order of magnitude lower than the dose from the other materials for the entire temperature range examined, 600-1200 degrees C.

Many of the fundamental operational techniques associated with the safe movement of tritium through the TFTR facility were developed over the course of many years at DOE tritium facilities (LANL, LLNL, SRS, Mound). In the mid 1980's The Tritium Systems Test Assembly (TSTA) at LANL began reporting operational techniques for the safe handling of tritium, and became a major conduit for the transfer of safe tritium handling technology from DOE weapons laboratories to non-weapon facilities. TFTR has built on many of the TSTA operational techniques and has had the opportunity of performing and enhancing these techniques at America's first operational D-T fusion reactor. This paper will discuss negative pressure employing ''elephant trunks'' in the control and mitigation of tritium contamination at the TFTR facility, and the interaction between contaminated line operations and Delta pressure control. In addition the strategy employed in managing the movement of tritium through TFTR while maintaining an active tritium inventory of < 50,000 Ci will be discussed. C1 PPPL,GEN PHYS,AIKEN,SC 29803.

Here, we report on the dynamics of the target energy release, focussing in particular on the partitioning of energy between x rays, neutrons, and target debris kinetic energy. Our results indicate that 72% and 22% of the 552 MJ yield is emitted by the target in the form of neutrons and x-rays, respectively.

However, the cost of advance materials is expected to be much higher than that of more conventional steel-bused alloys. Therefore, the economic advantage is limited. In this study, we compare a high-performance vanadium-based power plant and a lower-performance ferritic steel plant. Self-consistency is maintained through the use of the ARIES systems code. The tradeoffs include the effect of coolant outlet temperature on thermal conversion efficiency, power density limitations, component lifetime and availability. Ideally, comparisons should be made between fully-detailed design concepts. However, a rough systems-level analysis allows identification of the relative magnitude of the economic advantages expected from ''high performance'' materials.

HYLIFE-II is a power plant design based on surrounding such targets with thick liquid Flibe, (Li2BeF4) so that the chamber and other apparatus can stand up to these bursts of energy at 6 Hz for 1 GWe without replacing components during the plant's 30-year life. With liquid protection the capacity factor will be increased and the cost of component replacement will be decreased. The design is robust to technology risks in the sense that if the performance of targets, drivers and other components fall short of predictions, the cost of electricity rises surprisingly little. For example at 2 GWe, if it takes twice as much energy to ignite a target as previously projected instead of only 1.5 times, the COE increases 9% from 4 cent/kWh, and if the driver cost is increased by 30%, the COE increases by 12%. The design strategy we recommend is to use conventional engineering principles and known materials in an optimized way to obtain the lowest cost of electricity while keeping the design robust to short falls in predicted cost and performance of components. For a number of components with a high technology risk we have fall-back options. However, good target performance (Gain > 50 for driver energy < 7 MJ) and low cost drivers (< 800 M$ direct at driver energy greater than or equal to 7 MJ) would be helpful to achieving good economics.

At the present the major radius is 0.8 m, the minor radius 0.6 m for an aspect ratio of 1.33, the plasma current is 10.1 MA, the toroidal field at the major radius is 1.8 T, the fusion power is 39 MW giving an average neutron wall loading of 1.0 MW/m(2) on the outboard side with an available testing area of 10 m(2). Two neutral beams delivering more than 20 MW are used to drive the steady state fusion plasma. A single turn unshielded water cooled dispersion strengthened (DS) Cu centerpost is used in conjunction with a conducting Cu bell jar which acts as a vacuum boundary and the return legs for the toroidal field (TF) coils. The centerpost is 9 m long, carries 7.2 MA and is specially shaped to minimize ohmic heating, which is calculated using temperature dependent DS Cu properties and increases in resistivity due to nuclear transmutations are accounted for. A naturally diverted plasma scrapeoff layer dominated by pressure-driven instabilities is assumed giving a peak heat flux of 5.2 MW/m(2) on the diverter plates. Fabrication approaches for the centerpost and its replacement time lines have been estimated to be feasible and reasonable. C1 OAK RIDGE NATL LAB,OAK RIDGE,TN 37832.

Using self-consistent field Density Functional Theory (DFT) as a prototypical application, we describe the development, implementation and performance of the NWChem computational chemistry package that is targeting both present and future generations of massively parallel processors (MPP). The emphasis throughout this development is on scalability and the distribution, as opposed to the replication, of key data structures. To facilitate such capabilities, we describe a shared non-uniform memory access model which simplifies parallel programming while at the same time providing for portability across both distributed- and shared-memory machines. The impact of these developments is illustrated through a performance analysis of the DFT module of NWChem on a variety of MPP systems.

This 830 base pair (bp) DNA sequence has a 606-bp open reading frame and is present as approximately 1.96 x 10(5) copies per haploid barley genome. Southern blot analysis revealed that repetitive DNA elements containing R10hvcop and related sequences were dispersed within the barley chromosomes. Sequences similar to R10hvcop were also found in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), rye (Secale cereale L.), and oat (Avena sativa L.) with copy numbers of 8 x 10(4), 1.39 x 10(5), and 7.9 x 10(4) per haploid genome, respectively. Sequences similar to R10hvcop were also present in the corn (Zen mays L. ssp. mays) genome, but they were not highly repeated. Barley, wheat, rye, oat, and corn showed species-specific restriction fragment length polymorphisms of R10hvcop and related sequences. Computer-based similarity searches revealed that R10hvcop is closely related to reverse transcriptase genes in retrotransposons and retrotransposon-like elements of several giant species and of Drosophila. The highly repetitive nature, interspersed distribution, and high degree of similarity to reverse transcriptase genes suggests that R10hvcop contains the sequence of a diverged reverse transcriptase gene.

In previous studies, a patient was described with a de novo autosomal t(6;19)(p21;q13.1) translocation and suffering from bilateral multicystic renal dysplasia (MRD) caused by a bilateral complete pelvi-ureteric junction obstruction, In an effort to elucidate a possible correlation between this translocation and hereditary hydronephrosis, we have carried out an extensive molecular characterization of a chromosome 19 cosmid clone previously identified as spanning the translocation in this unique index case. DNA sequencing across a 9.2-kb BamHI fragment that straddles the translocation indicates the presence of DNA sequences with a high degree of similarity to the USF2 gene that encodes the transcription factor USF2 (upstream stimulator factor 2). The genomic structure of USF2 consists of 10 exons distributed over a DNA region of about 11 kb. The putative promoter region is CC-rich and lacks TATA and CCAAT boxes, suggesting that expression of the USF2 gene may be controlled by a typical housekeeping gene promoter. The chromosome 19 breakpoint in the MRD patient appeared to have occurred in intron 7 of the USF2 gene. Northern blot analysis of a variety of human tissues revealed that the USF2 gene is ubiquitously expressed. Furthermore, Northern blot and 3'-RACE analysis of mRNA isolated from lung fibroblasts of the MRD patient failed to detect a fusion transcript involving USF2 sequences, suggesting gene disruption rather than the generation of a fusion gene as a possible underlying mechanism.

In contrast, the delta(18)O values for xenocrystic olivine and pyroxene are 4.95-5.39 parts per thousand and 4.99-5.22 parts per thousand, respectively. Because only a small amount of contamination is required (<3-5%), major elements and strontium and neodymium isotopes do not yield a clear crustal signature. Yet contamination is sufficient to shift some trace element patterns and may affect lead isotopes and K/Ar dates. Our work suggests that crustal contamination of continental basalts may be cryptic and more widespread than previously recognized. C1 UNIV LAUSANNE,INST MINERAL & PETROG,CH-1015 LAUSANNE,SWITZERLAND.

Daily weather data associated with a relatively ''wet'' climate (years with extreme increases in annual rainfall, similar to 33 cm/yr) and ''dry'' climate (historic average annual rainfall, similar to 15 cm/yr) was used to simulate the affects of Pleistocene and Holocene climate change on soil-water balance. Linkages among atmospheric circulation patterns, regional increases in precipitation, and historic flooding in the Mojave Desert, California, suggest that historic wet years provide an analog for wetter climates that occurred during the last glacial period (latest Pleistocene) and episodically during Holocene periods of pluvial activity. Modeling results indicate that soil-water balance for dry and wet years strongly corresponds with the upper and lower zones of carbonate accumulation respectively. Soil-water only reached the lower zone of carbonate during a wet year when extreme increases in winter/spring storm activity resulted in a significant increase in precipitation and the downward flux of soil water. The linkage between increases in frontal storm activity and pluvial events suggests that the shallow zone of the bimodal distribution of carbonate is a result of periods of significant decreases in winter and spring rainfall and not primarily due to increases in Holocene temperature or the development of clay-rich horizons. Calculation of carbonate solubility and accumulation rates suggests that the bimodal distribution of carbonates in soils may have also been impacted by episodic periods of extreme increases in precipitation associated with perennial lakes during the Holocene. Results suggests that much of the carbonate in the upper 75 cm of Pleistocene soils may have accumulated during the late Holocene rather than throughout the entire Holocene.

These improvements included running neutron porosity and bulk density geophysical logging tools through a cased hole, performing an enhanced point-dilution tracer test for monitoring tracer concentration as a function of time and depth, and using pressure derivatives for diagnostic and quantitative analysis of constant rate discharge test data. Data results from the use of these techniques were used to develop a conceptual model of a heterogeneous aquifer. Depth-discrete adquifer information was required to effectively design field-scale deployment and monitoring of an in situ bioremediation technology. Geophysical logging and point-dilution tracer test results provided the relative distribution of porosity and horizontal hydraulic conductivity, respectively, with depth and correlated well. Hydraulic pumping tests were conducted to estimate mean values for transmissivity and effective hydraulic conductivity. Tracer test and geophysical logging results indicated that ground water flow was predominant in the upper approximate 10 feet of the aquifer investigated. These results were used to delineate a more representative interval thickness for estimating effective hydraulic conductivity. Hydraulic conductivity, calculated using this representative interval, was estimated to be 73 ft/d, approximately three times higher than that calculated using the full length of the screened test interval.

It provides easy filter changing, constant flow sampling, and a visual display to indicate proper operation. An experimental study was conducted to characterize the collection efficiency of the sampler as affected by variations in room air velocity, particle size, sampling flow rate, inlet geometry, and inlet orientation to the free stream. Tests were carried out in a wind tunnel at velocities between 0.3 m s(-1) and 2.0 m s(-1), which is a range that covers anticipated velocities in the typical highly ventilated workplace environment of a nuclear facility. Nearly monodisperse aerosols with sizes between 5 and 20 mu m aerodynamic diameter were sampled at now rates between 28.3 and 84.9 L min(-1). Inlet orientations of 0 degrees, 90 degrees, and 180 degrees from the horizontal were selected for evaluation. When the sampler was oriented at 0 degrees over various ranges of free stream velocities, sampling now rates and particle sizes, the transmission efficiency of aerosol was typically greater than 95%. The transmission efficiencies varied from 80% to 106% for 10-mu m aerodynamic diameter particles over the previously noted range of free stream velocities and inlet orientations. Uniformity of deposits of 10 mu m aerodynamic diameter particles on collection filters was examined for a sampling rate of 57 L min(-1), a sampler orientation of 90 degrees into the wind and wind speeds of 0.3-2 m s(-1). The coefficients of variation for the areal density of the deposits ranged from 6.1% to 37.2%. A miniature critical flow venturi with a constant sampling flow rate of 57 L min(-1) was developed for application to the new filter air sampler. It was demonstrated that the performance of the new filter air sampler is quite acceptable over a wide range of conditions. Overall the new filter air sampler design has been shown to provide enhanced performance with regard to sample handling, constant calibrated volumetric sample flow rate, and relatively unbiased sample aspiration performance compared with a traditional filter air sampler design.

In this paper, indoor radon data from a survey in Minnesota are analyzed to minimize the effect of finite sample size within counties, to determine the true county-to-county variation of indoor radon concentrations in the state, and to find the extent to which this variation is explained by the variation in surficial radium concentration among counties. The analysis uses hierarchical modeling, in which some parameters of interest (such as county geometric mean radon concentrations) are assumed to be drawn from a single population, for which the distributional parameters are estimated from the data. Extensions of this technique, known as random effects regression and mixed effects regression, are used to determine the relationship between predictive variables and indoor radon concentrations; the results are used to refine the predictions of each county's radon levels, resulting in a great decrease in uncertainty. The true county-to-county variation of geometric mean radon levels is found to be substantially less than the county-to-county variation of the observed geometric means, much of which is due to the small sample size in each county. The variation in the logarithm of surficial radium content is shown to explain approximately 80% of the variation of the logarithm of geometric mean radon concentration among counties. The influences of housing and measurement factors, such as whether the monitored home has a basement and whether the measurement was made in a basement, are also discussed. The statistical method can be used to predict mean radon concentrations, or applied to other geographically distributed environmental parameters.

Silicalite contains channels (or cavities) approximately 6 Angstrom in diameter but, unlike most other molecular sieves, Silicalite is hydrophobic. The retention times of methyl ketones and substituted phenols containing n-alkyl groups increase with increasing chain length of the substituent. However, phenols with very bulky substituents appear to be excluded from the Silicalite channels and elute very quickly. Excellent separations were obtained for a number of compounds with only slight differences in chemical structure. These include phenol isomers with a primary- or secondary alkyl group, position isomers of substituted phenols, and aliphatic cis-trans isomers. C1 US DOE,AMES LAB,AMES,IA 50011.

The HD protein (huntingtin) plays a critical role in early embryonic development since homozygous targeted disruption of the murine HD gene results in embryonic lethality by day 7.5. To rescue this phenotype by transgene based huntingtin expression it is therefore essential to express the protein early enough in development in the appropriate cells. Since YAC based transgenes are known to be regulated in an appropriate temporal and tissue-specific manner, we sought to rescue the embryonic lethality by breeding YAC transgenic mice expressing human huntingtin with mice heterozygous for the targeted disruption. We generated viable offspring homozygous for the disrupted murine HD gene but expressing human huntingtin derived from the YAC. This result clearly shows that YAC transgene based expression of huntingtin occurs prior to 7.5 days gestation. Additionally, we show that human huntingtin expression in YAC transgenic mice follows an identical tissue distribution and subcellular localisation pattern as that of the murine endogenous protein and that expression levels of 2-3 times endogenous can be achieved. This shows that human huntingtin under the influence of its native promoter, despite differences to the murine protein, is functional in a murine background and can compensate for loss of the murine protein. These results show that YAC transgenic approaches are a particularly promising route to producing an animal model for disorders associated with CAG expansion.

Measuring the simulation, tracking, rendering, network, and synchronization components of lag time shows the feasibility of coupling supercomputers with virtual environments for some applications. For others, simulation time makes interactivity difficult. C1 NORTHWESTERN UNIV,DEPT COMP SCI & ELECT ENGN,EVANSTON,IL 60208. ARGONNE NATL LAB,DIV MATH & COMP SCI,ARGONNE,IL 60439.

Ultrashort pulses (<10 ps) have been shown to generate little thermal or mechanical damage. Recent developments now enable such short-pulse/high-energy laser systems to operate at high pulse repetition rates (PRR's), Using proper operating parameters, ultrashort pulse lasers (USPL's) could exceed the performance of conventional tissue processing tools and yield significant material volume removal while maintaining their minimal collateral damage advantages, As such, for the first time, USPL's offer real possibility for practical replacement of the air-turbine dental drill or other mechanical means for cutting hard tissues, In this study, the subpicosecond interaction regime was investigated and compared to nanosecond ablation by using a Titanium:Sapphire Chirped Pulse Amplifier (CPA) system with 1.05-mu m pulses of variable duration, Both 350-fs and l-ns pulse regimes were studied. Ablation rates (AR's), ablation efficiency, and surface characteristics revealed through electron micrographs were investigated, The study characterized the interaction with a variety of hard tissue types including nail, midear bone, dentin, and enamel, With 350-fs pulses, tissue type comparison showed a remarkably similar pattern of ablation rate and surface characteristics. Negligible collateral damage and highly efficient per-pulse ablation were observed in this pulse regime. These observations should be contrasted with the I-ns pulse ablation characteristics where strong dependence on tissue type was demonstrated and ablation efficiency was approximately an order of magnitude smaller. With efficient interaction which minimizes collateral damage, and with both cost and size of ultrashort pulse systems decreasing, the implications of this study are far-reaching for the efficient use of USPL's in several fields of medicine that currently apply traditional surgical methods.

In the ultrashort-pulse range, optical breakdown is initiated by multiphoton ionization of the irradiated medium (six photons in case of tissue irradiated at 1053-nm wavelength), and is less sensitive to linear absorption, High-quality ablation craters viith no thermal or mechanical damage to surrounding material were obtained with subpicosecond laser pulses, Experimental results suggest that subpicosecond plasma mediated ablation can be employed as a tool for precise laser microsurgery of various tissues.

Base oxides built in a development version of Analog Devices' RF25 process show much more interface-trap buildup than XFCB oxides. Both net-oxide-trap and interface-trap charge densities for RF25 capacitors are enhanced significantly during low-dose-rate or high-temperature irradiation at 0 V over high-rate, 25 degrees C exposures. TSC measurements show the increase in net-oxide-trap charge density is due to a decrease in trapped electron density with decreasing dose rate or increasing irradiation temperature (at least to 125 degrees C), and not by increased trapped hole density. Similar enhancement of net-oxide-trap and interface-trap charge density with decreasing dose rate is found for soft thermal oxides irradiated at 0 V, but not 5 V. These results strongly suggest that space charge effects associated with holes metastably trapped in the bulk of the oxide can cause the enhanced bipolar gain degradation seen at low dose rates and/or high temperatures in many technologies. No enhanced radiation-induced charge trapping is observed for low-dose-rate or high-temperature, 0 V irradiation of SIMOX capacitors. Implications for hardness assurance tests are discussed.

The H-induced positive oxide charge is shown to be very different from radiation-induced oxygen vacancy hole traps (E' centers) in SiO2. We find that three factors strongly influence the ability to create H-induced positive charge: temperature, hydrogen concentration in the ambient, and the density of hydrogen cracking centers. We suggest that over-coordinated O centers are responsible for this charge. The proposed over-coordinated oxygen centers may also account for the equivocal nature of several forms of positive charge that have escaped detection by electron paramagnetic resonance, such as the fixed oxide charge that forms during the thermal oxidation of Si.

The RADFET consists of a thermally grown oxide and a CVD deposited nitride. With a negatively applied bias, holes generated in the SiO2 transport to and are trapped at the SiO2/Si3N4 interface producing a measurable threshold-voltage shift. Because holes are trapped away from the Si/SiO2 interface, hole neutralization by tunneling and interface-trap buildup are minimized resulting in little fade or annealing of the RADFET output response. RADFETs were irradiated at dose rates from 0.002 to 50 rad(Si)/s with biases from -5 to -20 V. RADFETs were also annealed for times up to 10(7) s at temperatures up to 100 degrees C. Within experimental uncertainty, no difference in RADFET output response at a given bias was observed over the dose rate range examined and for 25 degrees C anneals. At an anneal temperature of 100 degrees C only a 20% decrease in RADFET output response was observed. These results show that Sandia's RADFETs exhibit little or no fade of their output characteristics and are ideal for low dose rate space applications.

A good correlation has been observed between neutron depth dose distribution in a water phantom obtained using MOSFETs in integral mode and a tissue equivalent (T.E.) ionisation chamber. Such MOSFET dosimeters are a promising tool for micro-macro dosimetry in Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) and Fast Neutron Therapy (FNT).

It is first employed to efficiently predict point doses as a function of source energy for simple three-dimensional experimental geometries exposed to planar sources of monoenergetic electrons up to 4.0 MeV due to simulated uniform isotropic fluences. Results are in very good agreement with experimental data. It is then used to efficiently simulate dose to a detector in a subsystem of a GPS satellite from the natural electron environment, employing a relatively complex model of the satellite. The capability for survivability analysis of space systems is demonstrated, and results are obtained with and without variance reduction. C1 LOS ALAMOS NATL LAB, LOS ALAMOS, NM 87545 USA.

The analysis presented here shows that the best approach is, in general, to use a graded-Z shield, with a high-Z layer sandwiched between two low-Z materials. A graded-Z shield is shown to reduce the electron dose rate by more than sixty percent over a single-material shield of the same areal density. For protons, the optimal shield would consist of a single, low-Z material layer. However, it is shown that a graded-Z shield is nearly as effective as a single-material shield, as long as a low-Z layer is located adjacent to the microelectronics. A specific shield design depends upon the details of the radiation environment, system model, design margins/levels, compatibility of shield materials, etc. Therefore, we present here general principles for designing effective shields and describe how the computer codes are used for this application.

A qualitative model is presented which identifies the physical mechanism responsible for excess base current. The increase in surface recombination velocity due to interface traps results in an increase in excess base current and the positive oxide charge moderates the increase in excess base current and changes the slope of the current-voltage characteristics. Analytical and empirical models have been developed to quantitatively describe the excess base current response to ionizing radiation. It is shown that the surface recombination velocity dominates the excess base current response to total dose. C1 UNIV ARIZONA,DEPT ELECT & COMP ENGN,TUCSON,AZ 85721.

Degradation increases monotonically with decreasing dose rate, such that, at an emitter-to-base voltage of 0.7 V, radiation-induced excess base current differs by a factor of approximately, eight at the extreme dose rates. Degradation shows little dependence on dose rate below 0.005 rad(Si)/s, suggesting that further degradation enhancement at space-like dose rates may be negligible. In addition, the effect of ambient temperature on radiation-induced gain degradation at 294 rad(Si)/s was thoroughly investigated over the range of 25 to 240 degrees C. Degradation is enhanced with increasing temperature while simultaneously being moderated by in situ annealing such that, for a given total dose, an optimum irradiation temperature for maximum degradation results. Optimum irradiation temperature decreases logarithmically with total dose and is larger and more sensitive to dose in the substrate device than in the lateral device. Based on the measurement of midgap interface trap density in the base oxide, enhancement in transistor gain degradation due to elevated temperature is explained as an increase in surface recombination velocity in the base. Maximum high dose rate degradation at elevated temperature closely approaches low dose rate degradation for both devices. Based on high-temperature irradiations, a flexible procedure for the accelerated prediction of low dose rate gain degradation at 20 krad(Si) is developed for each of the devices studied.

The multipulse simulations describe the growth in mall voltage at the so called ON voltage and the decay in wall voltage at the so-called OFF voltage. For square wave forms, the ON voltage is the voltage at which a pixel attains to a stable operation in which a discharge occurs in each succeeding pulse and the wall voltage equal to the applied voltage. The OFF voltage is the voltage at which a pixel that is ON goes off and no further discharges occur. Experimental data for helium show the hysteresis in the discharge current observed when the voltage is increased to turn ON pixels and then reduced to turn OFF pixels in a panel. Simulations which match the helium data are also shown. The difference between the ON and OFF voltages defines the bistable margin. For the helium-xenon Penning mixture, the ON and OFF voltages determined by multipulse simulations are almost identical to the values obtained from the wall voltage transfer curve method. In the helium-xenon Penning mixture, the ionization rate for xenon ground state increases dramatically compared to its ionization rate in pure xenon due to the modification in the electron velocity distribution function in the mixture. This feature provides enhanced volumetric ionization in the discharge and hence a rapid growth rate of the wall voltage which is desirable for a sharp transition from OFF to ON in a pixel.

The fill gas pressure is 400 torr with 2% xenon in helium. The simulations using a minimum number of excited states of helium and xenon are performed for different cell widths representing different display resolutions. The simulations show plasma transport through the gap to the adjacent pixel which is in the sustained off state. In a sustained off state, there is no discharge in the pixel at the sustained voltage. The simulations show that for low-resolution displays, the plasma overflow does not cause a discharge in the adjacent pixel that is in the sustained off mode, while for a high-resolution display a 20% gap in the barrier height could result in a breakdown in the adjacent off pixel. A higher pixel resolution, or equivalently smaller pixel pitch, requires higher firing and sustained voltages due primarily to increased particle losses as a result of the reduced particle transit times. Finally, using a larger number of excited xenon atomic states including the xenon [6s, j = 1] and [6s', j = 1] radiative states and the molecular xenon dimer, an isolated single pixel is simulated to model the transport of excited states including the radiative states. The model shows that the density profiles peak in the cathode fall region spreading out to the side walls with decreasing intensity.

Two different types of developmental membranes were investigated: microporous silica-based membranes and a palladium thin film supported by a porous ceramic substrate. The membrane reactors were operated at liquid hourly space velocities (LHSVs) similar to those used in commercial reactors for propane dehydrogenation. Although the initial hydrogen permselectivity of the palladium membrane was substantially higher than that of the silica-based membranes, this membrane deactivated and eventually failed after several hours of exposure to reaction conditions. Moderate improvements in propylene yield were obtained with the silica-based membrane reactors. A propylene yield of 39.6% was obtained at an LHSV of 3 and a temperature of 823 K compared to a yield of 29.6% in a conventional packed-bed reactor operated with the same flow rate. The reaction selectivity for propylene was generally above 97 mol % in both the conventional and membrane reactors, however, catalyst deactivation rates were generally higher in the membrane reactors.

The operational data is characterized by frequent updates based on changes to values of items in the real world. Aggregate data is used in statistical analysis for decision making, forcasting and formulation of business strategies. The accuracy of the results of statistical processing depends on the processing resources allocated to the update transactions relative to the query and statistical reporting requests. Different types of statistical processing may require varying degress of data accuracy. For example, long range planning decisions may require less accurate data than those needed for tactical decisions. In this paper are propose a model for estimating the accuracy of a database and for the planning of computing resources based on database system performance and accuracy requirements of various groups of users.

The acquisition of chemically based images (contrast based on the 1s-1 pi* transition of unsaturated carbon), reveals a homogeneous chemical structure in the spore exine. C-NEXAFS microanalysis indicates a chemical structural evolution of the sporopollenin bio/geopolymer with increasing maturation. The most significant change in the C-NEXAFS spectrum is an increase in unsaturated carbon, presumably aromatic, with rank. The rate of ''aromatization'' in sporinite in coal exceeds that of the associated vitrinite. Increases in the concentration of unsaturated carbon are paralleled by losses of aliphatic and hydroxylated aliphatic carbon components. Carboxyl groups are present in low and variable concentrations. Absorption due to carboxyl persists in the most mature specimen in this series, a high volatile A bituminous coal. The reactions that drive sporopollenin chemical structural evolution during diagenesis presumably involve sequential dehydration, Diels-Alder cycle-addition, and dehydrogenation reactions that ultimately lead to a progressively aromatized bio/geopolymer.

The results indicate that pyridine transport in this coal proceeds via Case II diffusion for swelling and via Fickian diffusion for deswelling. Once the relative pyridine concentrations reach values between 0.65 and 0.45, the coal's physical state changes from a glassy to a rubbery state. Transitions are well recorded by an inflection observed in the trend of spin-lattice relaxation or spin-spin relaxation of pyridine, as the coal swells and deswells. NMRI data indicate that the coal swelling is anisotropic, with swelling in a plane perpendicular to the coal bedding plane being 13% greater than that parallel to the coal bedding plane; however, the process of deswelling is almost isotropic. The differences between the swelling and deswelling characteristics are discussed from the viewpoint of coal's intrinsic structural properties and stored geologic pressure effects.

One possible implementation of this idea is to give each driver an exact pre-computed path, that is, a sequence of roads this driver wants to follow. This paper shows, in a realistic road network, how repeated simulations can be used so that drivers can explore different paths, and how macroscopic quantities such as locations of jams or network throughput change as a result of this.

In applications to quantum electrodynamics, the former equation becomes pathological if certain interaction terms are not treated as perturbations. The difficulty comes from singularities which appear at finite separations r in the reduced set of coupled equations for attractive potentials even when the potentials themselves are not singular there. They are known to give rise to unphysical bound states and resonances. In contrast, the two-body Dirac equations of constraint dynamics do not have these pathologies in many nonperturbative treatments. To understand these marked differences we first express these contraint equations, which have an ''external potential'' form, similar to coupled one-body Dirac equations, in a hyperbolic form. These coupled equations are then recast into two equivalent equations: (1) a covariant Breit-like equation with potentials that are exponential functions of certain ''generator'' functions, and (2) a covariant orthogonality constraint on the relative momentum. This reduction enables us to show in a transparent way that finite-r singularities do not appear as long as the exponential structure is not tampered with and the exponential generators of the interaction are themselves nonsingular for finite r. These Dirac or Breit equations, free of the structural singularities which plague the usual Breit equation, can then be used safely under all circumstances, encompassing numerous applications in the fields of particle, nuclear, and atomic physics which involve highly relativistic and strong binding configurations.

Higher-order QCD corrections are included by using an analytical correction factor K-(i), which gives very good agreement with experimental Drell-Yan data, and predicts a large enhancement of the thermal dimuon emission over the lowest order rates. We compare the thermal dimuon yields with the expected production from open-charm decays and Drell-Yan background and assess the prospects of observing thermal dimuons from the quark-gluon-plasma at invariant masses of a few GeV.

(1) Dosage-effect relationship. A similar treatment effect on Pu was achieved by single s.c. injection of 30 mu mol kg(-1) or by oral administration of 100 mu mol kg(-1) of either of the two ligands, provided the oral dose was administered earlier. In general, LIHOPO was more effective than DFO-HOPO: retention of Pu in the liver and bones was reduced by LIHOPO to <10% of control values. No increase in renal retention of the actinides was observed. Whilst DFO-HOPO did not affect Am retention, a substantial reduction was achieved by LIHOPO. Removal effectiveness for injected LIHOPO on Pu was higher than that on Am, especially in the bones and after low ligand doses. Orally administered small doses of LIHOPO, however, mobilized more Am than Pu, both from the liver and the bone. (2) Time-effect relationship. The effectiveness of the injected ligands for Pu decreased exponentially with the time between exposure and treatment. With DFO-HOPO, the calculated half-times for decrease of mobilized fractions of Pu from the bone and liver were 5 and 12 h respectively. The effect of LIHOPO on Pu decreased much more slowly, with a halftime of 3-4 weeks. For instance, a single injection of 30 mu mol kg(-1) LIHOPO at 10 days post-Pu removed 30 and 50% activity from the bone and liver respectively. The removal effect of LIHOPO for Am in the liver decreased with time in the same way as for Pu but the mobilized fractions of skeletal and renal Am decreased from the first day with a half-time of only 8 and 4 days respectively.

The systemic products Corbel (fenpropimorph), Impact MBC (flutriafol + carbendazim) and Punch C (flusilazole + carbendazim) were used in eight experiments and the systemic product Score (difenoconazole) was used in four of these experiments (1990 to 1993). Single sprays with these products gave good control of rust, reducing the level of disease by 70% or greater when compared with unsprayed controls in all years. Significant increases in the sugar content of the roots were recorded in response to fungicide treatment in all years when the sugar contents were determined (1989 to 1993). Significant increases in root yield were recorded in only one trial (in 1988). The protectant products Duter (fentin hydroxide) and Thiovit (sulphur), used in only two and three of the experiments, respectively, were not as effective as the systemic products in controlling rust.

All experiments included an unsprayed control and treatments based on mancozeb and on metalaxyl/mancozeb mixtures (PAM), In all years DMM significantly reduced the level of foliage blight compared with the untreated control (mean reduction > 80%) and significantly delayed the date of disease onset in 1990 and 1992 (mean delay > 52 days). DMM significantly reduced tuber blight in all Sears except 1993. Compared with mancozeb, DMM significantly delayed disease onset in 1990 and 1992 and significantly reduced the levels of foliage blight at the end of the 1989 and 1990 seasons. In 1990, DMM significantly reduced the incidence of tuber blight compared with mancozeb (mean reduction 1.88 t/ha). DMM increased marketable and total yields in all years compared with the untreated control, Differences in marketable yields were significant in all years except 1992. Phenylamide resistant inoculum was present in the trial area in all 5 years of the experiment but no significant differences were recorded between the PAM and DMM treatments for any of the traits measured.

The primary motivation for this approach is to attempt to overcome the serious challenge posed by methods divergence to the certification of linewidth reference-materials for critical-dimension (CD) instrument calibration and related tasks. To enhance the physical robustness of reference features with deep submicrometer linewidths, the new test structure embodies short reference-segment lengths and arbitrarily wide voltage taps. Facilities for reconciliation of measurements extracted from the same feature by all normally practiced techniques are also implemented. In overlay metrology, electrical inspection of two types of hybrid overlay targets allows pixel calibration of, and shift extraction from, the overlay instruments. The overall strategic focus of this research is to resolve methods-divergence issues and possibly to develop universal deep-submicrometer linewidth reference materials for CD instruments and techniques for instrument- and process-specific shift extraction for optical overlay metrology.

Because of the possibility of complete atom-by-atom rearrangement of the material under irradiation, significant changes may result in physical, mechanical, and electrical properties. The theoretical and computational approaches for describing these changes begin with the atomic displacement reactions and follow numerous reaction pathways to an evolved microstructure and the properties dictated by it. Rate theory based on defect reactions has been developed to understand these processes. It is the only approach that spans the large time, spatial, and energy ranges from defect production to changes in macroscopic properties. If has been most thoroughly applied to the phenomena of radiation-induced dimensional changes, particularly swelling and creep. This emphasis has derived both from the importance of these phenomena in technological applications and from their scientific challenge.

The line width of plasma resonance is explained by inhomogeneous broadening caused by random positions of pancake vortices in the vortex glass phase. This leads to a nearly temperature independent line width which is inversely proportional to magnetic field. The dynamic interaction of vortices with plasmon is calculated. It is ineffective in fields studied but may become stronger in crystals with weaker pinning or in higher magnetic fields. RP LOS ALAMOS NATL LAB, POB 1663, LOS ALAMOS, NM 87545 USA.

J. Appl. Cryst. 27, 802-844]. For comparison, new data were also collected using a gas-filled position-sensitive detector. Powder diffraction using a flat IP detector requires a modification to the geometric term of the Lorentz factor and the zero-shift correction. Other factors that were accurately taken into account are the polarization of the synchrotron beam, the angle-dependent variations induced by the use of a flat detector and the absorption.

This may represent an interphase zone in a composite, or the transition zone around an aggregate particle in concrete, for example. Both the shear and the bulk moduli are assumed to be equal to a constant term plus a power-law term that decays away from the inclusion. The method of Frobenius series is used to generate an exact solution far the displacements and stresses. The solution is then used to estimate the effective bulk modulus of a material containing a random dispersion of these inclusions. The results demonstrate the manner in which a localized interphase zone around an inclusion may markedly affect both the stress concentrations at the interface, and the overall bulk modulus of the material.

Mass, heat, and moisture budgets from observations SO JOURNAL OF APPLIED METEOROLOGY LA English DT Article ID VALLEY WIND AB Individual terms of the mass, heat, and moisture budget equations are evaluated for an atmospheric control volume in Colorado's Sinbad Basin using tethered balloon and surface energy budget data obtained during a 16.5-h period on 15-16 July 1988. The basin was chosen for its simple topography and arid climate, which simplified the evaluation of some of the budget terms. The paper documents the many assumptions that are required to evaluate the mass, heat, and moisture budget equations in confined terrain using small datasets. The nighttime outflow of air from the basin produced a compensatory mean sinking motion of 0.026 m s(-1) at the top of the basin control volume and brought warm air into the top of the basin atmosphere. In contrast to previous reports for well-drained valleys, a high rate of atmospheric cooling continued in this basin throughout the entire night. The cooling is attributed primarily to turbulent sensible heat Bur divergence and, to a lesser extent, radiative flux divergence. Measured sensible heat fluxes on the basin door were small, suggesting that downward turbulent sensible heat fluxes must be relatively stronger in the downslope flows that develop above the sidewalls. A general means of characterizing and comparing the energetics of basin and valley atmospheres is developed from the heat budget equation and is illustrated using data from other valleys and basins. An accompanying paper takes a complementary approach of evaluating the heat budget terms using a dynamic model. C1 COLORADO STATE UNIV, FT COLLINS, CO 80523 USA.

Numerical simulations of nocturnal flows and heat budgets SO JOURNAL OF APPLIED METEOROLOGY LA English DT Article ID COMPLEX TERRAIN; CLOSURE-MODEL; AIR-FLOW; ESCARPMENT; TURBULENCE; DISPERSION; DESIGN AB A mesoscale model is used to simulate the nocturnal evolution of the wind and temperature fields within a small, elliptical basin located in western Colorado that has a drainage area of about 84 km(2). The numerical results are compared to observed profiles of wind and potential temperature. The thermal forcing of the basin wind system and the sources of air that support the local circulations are determined. Individual terms of the basin atmospheric heat budget are also calculated from the model results. The model is able to reproduce key features of the observed potential temperature profiles over the basin floor and winds exiting the basin through the narrow canyon that drains the basin. Complex circulations are produced within the basin atmosphere as a result of the convergence of drainage Bows from the basin sidewalls. The strength of the sidewall drainage flow varies around the basin and is a function of the source area above the basin, the local topography, and the ambient winds. Rows on the basin floor are affected primarily by the drainage winds from the northern part of the basin. The near-surface sidewall drainage flows converge within the southern portion of the basin, producing a counterclockwise eddy during most of the evening. Evaluation of the individual terms of the atmospheric heat budget show that the forcing due to advection and turbulent diffusion is significantly larger above the sidewalls than over the basin Boor; therefore, measurements made over the basin floor would not be representative of the basin as a whole. The cooling in the center of the basin results from the local radiative flux divergence and the advection of cold air from the sidewalls, and the cooling above the basin sidewalls is due primarily to turbulent sensible heat flux divergence. A high rate of atmospheric cooling occurs within the basin throughout the evening, although the strongest cooling occurs in the early evening hours. Sensitivity tests show that the thermal structure, circulations, and rate of cooling can be significantly affected by ambient wind direction and, to a lesser extent, vegetation coverage.

The influence of the ion beam on the amorphous-to-crystal transformation was separated into thermal annealing effects and defect production effects. Thermal effects were simulated by heating the sample above the amorphous melting point, and damage induced effects by introducing several low energy recoils in the amorphous matrix directed at the crystalline grain. In both cases, the growth rate of the microcrystals is enhanced several. orders of magnitude with respect to the pure thermal process, in agreement with experimental results. The dynamics of the crystallization process and the defect structures generated during the growth were analyzed and will be discussed. (C) 1996 American Institute of Physics.

The films were dense, stoichiometric, and epitaxial. The domain structure was studied via x-ray-diffraction omega scans and in-plane Phi scans. Existence of c and a domains in the PbTiO3 films was evident. Consistent with literature reports, the a domains were found to have four variants 90 degrees apart from each other, tilting about 2.2 degrees away from the surface normal. The population ratio between c and a domain of the PbTiO3 films was determined to be approximately 2.3 to 1. The domain structure was found to be stable and reproducible during repeated thermal cycling above and below T-c. Furthermore, lattice parameters and Curie temperatures of PbTiO3 thin films were measured during the thermal cycles. The lattice parameters were found to be smaller and the Curie temperatures were shifted lower than the corresponding bulk values. This is attributed to the film stress effect. A theory based on the Landau-Ginzburg-Devonshire function has been developed to explain the shift of the Curie temperatures. (C) 1996 American Institute of Physics.

The networks are assumed to contain randomly distributed grain boundaries of three electrical types: (1) high nonlinearity (i.e., ''good'') junctions; (2) poor nonlinearity (i.e., ''bad'') junctions; and (3) Linear with low-resistivity (i.e., ohmic) junctions. These type classifications are these found in experimental measurements. By varying the type concentrations, the simulated current density versus electric field (J-E) characteristics can be made to conform to the different experimentally observed characteristics of ZnO varistors. These characteristics include the sharpness of switching at the transition between ohmic and nonlinear J-E response (i.e., knee region), as well as the degree of nonlinearity. It is shown that the reduction of the nonlinearity coefficient of bulk varistors, relative to that of isolated grain boundaries, can be explained only by the presence of ''bad'' varistor junctions.

The extracellular Na contribution to the NMR TQF signal of a rat heart is found to be 73 +/- 5%, as determined by wash-out-experiments at different moments of ischemia and reperfusion, With the use of this contribution factor, the estimated intracellular Na([Na+](i)) TQF signal is 222 +/- 13% of preischemic level after 40 min of CP arrest and 30 min of reperfusion, and the heart rate pressure product recovery is 71 +/- 8%. These parameters are significantly better than for stop-flow ischemia: 340 +/- 20% and 6 +/- 3%, respectively. At 37 degrees C, the initial delay of 15 min in [Na+]i growth occurs during CP arrest along with reduced growth later (similar to 4.0%/min) in comparison with stop-flow ischemia (similar to 6.7%/min). The hypothermia (21 degrees C, 40 min) for the stop-flow ischemia and CP dramatically decreases the [Na+](i) gain with the highest heart recovery for CP (similar to 100%). These studies confirm the enhanced sensitivity of TQF NMR to [Na+](i) and demonstrate the potential of NMR without chemical shift reagent to monitor [Na+](i) derangements.

By crossing the TIMP-1 transgenic animals with mice expressing an autoactivating stromelysin-1 transgene targeted to mammary epithelial cells, we obtained a range of mice with genetically engineered proteolytic levels, The alveolar epithelial cells of mice expressing autoactivating stromelysin-l underwent unscheduled apoptosis during late pregnancy. When stromelysin-l transgenic mice were crossed with mice overexpressing TIMP-1, apoptosis was extinguished. Entactin (nidogen) was a specific target for stromelysin-1 in the extracellular matrix. The enhanced cleavage of basement membrane entactin to above-normal levels was directly related to the apoptosis of overlying mammary epithelial cells and paralleled the extracellular MMP activity. These results provide direct evidence for cleavage of an extracellular matrix molecule by an MMP in vivo. C1 UNIV CALIF SAN FRANCISCO,RADIOBIOL & ENVIRONM HLTH LAB,DEPT ANAT,SAN FRANCISCO,CA 94143.

As a check on previously reported results for MgCl2(aq) (from T = 383 K to T = 473 K), new isopiestic measurements were made over the temperature range from 383 K to 523 K. The new measurements are slightly different from our previous results. Here, NaCl(aq) was used as the reference electrolyte for computation of osmotic and activity coefficients. Our published model for the thermodynamic properties of CaCl2(aq) was used in a global least-squares treatment of the present results in combination with published results to provide comprehensive equations for the properties of these three electrolyte solutions. At elevated temperature, the available results consist primarily of excess Gibbs free energies (our isopiestic results), particularly for SrCl2(aq) and BaCl2(aq). Void regions in the temperature and pressure ranges of acceptable experimental results were estimated by reference to the properties of CaCl2(aq). Trends in the thermodynamic properties of aqueous solutions of the alkaline-earth metal chlorides were uniform at all temperatures and pressures used in the present work.

Long-term rainfall records and over 10 years of data measured routinely from a raingauge array and several meteorological towers were analyzed. Results indicate that 36% of annual precipitation high on a plateau (at the base of the Jemez Mountains) falls during July and August, primarily from early afternoon convective showers. The showers typically begin around noon high on the plateau during July, while they are more evenly distributed during the afternoon and evening toward lower elevation (near the Rio Grande River valley). However, a secondary peak of rain intensity occurs during early evening high on the plateau and several hours later near the valley. Several possible reasons for the spatial and temporal variations are discussed. The showers also routinely influence afternoon insolation, temperature, and relative humidity, especially near the mountains. Downslope winds are more frequent in the afternoon, probably because of thunderstorm outflows. RP Bowen, BM (reprint author), LAWRENCE LIVERMORE NATL LAB,ARAC,L-103,POB 808,LIVERMORE,CA 94551, USA.

The simulation was forced by observed monthly global sea surface temperature (SST) changes during 1950-89. The January climates of the model results are presented in the paper. The modeled means and interannual variability are analyzed and compared with observations based on different accounts. First, the authors concentrate on the period of 1951-79. The monthly varying SSTs of this period were used to construct the SST climatology for an earlier 20-yr simulation conducted by NCAR researchers. The difference of the model climatology between the two simulations, respectively, forced by monthly varying SST and annually repeating SST, is examined. The modeled mean fields do not significantly differ between the two simulations especially for the Northern Hemisphere. The magnitude of interannual variability is enhanced in the current simulation especially for the northern Pacific due to the tropical SST forcing. The authors then concentrate on the remaining part of the simulation-the period from 1979 to 1989. The global climate during this period analyzed by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) has been widely used for validation purposes by various general circulation model (GCM) studies including the CCM2 simulation mentioned above. The model performance in terms of basic circulation features for the period 1979-89 is actually quite impressive. Some earlier recognized model deficiencies in the above 20-yr simulation are improved simply because they were identified based upon mismatched time periods between the ECMWF analysis and the model simulation. The model results of the entire simulation are finally compared with the multidecadal data of sea level pressure and 700-mb geopotential height analyzed by the National Meteorological Center. The decadal analysis of the model results reveals that the model has different performance for different decades. It is found that the simulated circulations are in better agreement with the observations during warmer decades in terms of the evolution of the El Nino-Southern Oscillation. The analysis of tropical/extratropical teleconnection patterns based on the SST index over the central equatorial Pacific and the Northern Hemisphere 700-mb height shows that the negative correlation between these two fields over the northern Pacific takes place somewhat too far west compared with observations. The net result is that CCM2 tends to produce a ridge of the height field also too far west from the west coast of North America. This deficiency may well be due to an unrealistic heating anomaly associated with condensation processes over the western tropical Pacific as indicated by earlier CCM2 studies and linear steady-state model results.

We now report on a mouse expressing high levels of human beta(S) and 100% human alpha-globin. These mice were created by breeding the alpha-knockout and the mouse beta(major)-deletion to homozygosity in mice expressing human alpha- and beta(S)-transgenes. These beta(S)-alpha-knockout mice have accelerated red cell destruction, altered hematological indices, ongoing organ damage, and pathology under ambient conditions which are comparable with those found in alpha(H) beta(S) beta(S-Ant)[beta(MDD)] mice without introduction of additional mutations which convert beta(S) into a ''super-beta(S)'' such as the doubly mutated beta(S-Antilles). This is of particular importance for testing strategies for gene therapy of sickle cell disease. Spin echo magnetic resonance imaging at room air and 100% oxygen demonstrated the presence of blood hypoxia (high levels of deoxygenated hemoglobin) in the liver and kidneys that was absent in control mice. We demonstrate here that transgenic mice can be useful to test new noninvasive diagnostic procedures, since the magnetic resonance imaging technique described here potentially can be applied to patients with sickle cell disease.

MU is a modification of Leonard et al.'s UTOPIA scheme. MU, like UTOPIA, is based on third-order accurate semi-Lagrangian multidimensional upwinding for constant velocity flows. For varying velocity fields, MU is a second-order conservative method. MU has greater stability and accuracy than UTOPIA and naturally decomposes into a monotone low-order method and a higher-order accurate correction for use with flux limiting. Its stability and accuracy make it a computationally efficient alternative to current finite-difference advection methods. We present a fully second-order accurate flow solver for the anelastic equations, a prototypical low Mach number flow. The flow solver is based on MU which is used for both momentum and scalar transport equations. This flow solver can also be implemented with any forward-in-time advection scheme. The multilevel flow solver conserves discrete global integrals of advected quantities and includes adaptive mesh refinement. Its second-order accuracy is verified using a nonlinear energy conservation integral for the anelastic equations. For a typical geophysical problem in which the flow is most rapidly varying in a small part of the domain, the multilevel flow solver achieves global accuracy comparable to a uniform-resolution simulation for 10% of the computational cost.

The performance of this algorithm is comparable to other algorithms for problems with smooth coefficients and regular grids, and it is superior for problems with rough coefficients and/or skewed grids. The algorithm is derived using the support-operators method, which constructs discrete analogs of the divergence and flux operator that satisfy discrete analogs of the important integral identities relating the continuum operators. This paper gives the first application of this method to the solution of diffusion problems in heterogeneous an nonisotropic media. The support-operators method forces the discrete analog of the flux operator to be the negative adjoint of the discrete divergence in an inner product weighted by the conductivity, as in the differential case. Once this is accomplished, many other important properties follow; for example, the scheme is conservative and the discrete analog of the variable material Laplacian is symmetric and negative definite. In addition, on any grid, the discrete divergence is zero on constant vectors and the discrete flux operator is exact for linear functions in case when K is piecewise constant. Moreover, the discrete gradient's null space is the constant functions, just as in the continuum. Because the algorithm is flux based, it has twice as many unknowns as more standard algorithms. However, the matrices that need to be inverted are symmetric and positive definite, so the most powerful linear solvers can be applied. Also, the scheme is second-order accurate so, all things considered, it is efficient. For rectangular grids, the discrete operators reduce to well-known discrete operators and the treatment of discontinuous conductivity coefficients in the case of isotropic media is equivalent to the well-known harmonic-averaging procedure. Comparison with standard schemes is presented. Numerical examples validate advantage of new method. (C) 1996 Academic Press, Inc. C1 UNIV NEW MEXICO,DEPT MATH & STAT,ALBUQUERQUE,NM 87131.

Several etching solutions (HCl, HBr, and their mixtures with HNO3) were used in this study. We have found that ITO films containing a larger volume fraction of the amorphous phase show higher etch rates than: those containing a larger volume fraction of the crystal-line phase. Also, the crystalline ITO films have shown a very good uniformity in patterning, and fallowing the etching no ITO residue (unetched ITO) formation has been observed. In contrast, ITO residues were found after the etching of the films containing both amorphous and crystalline phases. We have also developed a process for the fabrication of the ITO with a tapered edge profile. The taper angle can be controlled by varying the ratio of HNO3 to the HCl in the etching solutions. Finally, ITO films have been found to be chemically unstable in a hydrogen containing plasma environment. On the contrary, aluminum doped zinc oxide (AZO) films, having an optical transmittance and electrical resistivity comparable to ITO films, are very stable in the same hydrogen containing plasma environment. In addition, a high etch 1 ate, no etching residue formation,and a uniform etching have been found for the AZO films, which make them suitable for a-Si:H TFT-LCD applications.

Experiments are performed to investigate the thermomechanical response of a representative system and the results are used to validate a numerical model of system behavior. The conclusions drawn from the experimental studies are used to guide development of a process model, capable of describing more realistic BGA soldering scenarios. Process model predictions illustrate the system's thermomechanical response to thermal and mechanical processing conditions, as well as component properties.

It is perhaps the most common energy resource in developing countries, used primarily for cooking and heating. While industrialized and newly developing nations have turned to fossil fuels to support economic growth, some are returning to biomass as a means of preserving their depleting natural resources, reducing dependence on imported fossil fuels, strengthening agricultural industries, or reducing environmental pollution. A number of technological advancements, particularly in converting biomass into electricity or alcohol transportation fuels, have triggered this reassessment of biomass as a significant energy resource. The writers report on research and development taking place worldwide, with a focus on work being done in Hawaii. They also assess the technical and economic feasibility of adapting bioenergy technology elsewhere, with particular attention directed at the potential of alcohol fuels for transportation applications and the need to develop bioenergy crops as a precursor to expanded alcohol fuel use and renewable electricity generation.

The D-T plasmas produced and studied in TFTR have peak fusion power of 10.7 MW with central fusion power densities of 2.8 MW m(-3) which is similar to the 1.7 MW m(-3) fusion power densities projected for 1,500 MW operation of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER). Detailed alpha particle measurements have confirmed alpha confinement and heating of the D-T plasma by alpha particles as expected. Reversed shear, high l(i) and internal barrier advanced tokamak operating modes have been produced in TFTR which have the potential to double the fusion power to similar to 20 MW which would also allow the study of alpha particle effects under conditions very similar to those projected for ITER. TFTR is also investigating two new innovations, alpha channeling and controlled transport barriers, which have the potential to significantly improve the standard advanced tokamak.

On the evening of January 13, conditions as measured at VHF by the Jicamarca Radio Observatory were comparatively mild. The spread F observed on this evening was confined to the bottomside of the F layer and relatively weak. Yet dramatic propagation effects were seen in the HF. Strong off great circle signals with more than 10 Hz in Doppler spread were measured. Large spreads in angle of arrival, as auch as 20 deg, were also seen. The strength of the off great circle returns are comparable to the strength of signals arriving from the direction of the great circle and are believed to result from total reflections from horizontal gradients in the ionosphere. Jicamarca VHF measurements substantiate this hypothesis. We present data from a single evening during which two separate events occurred. From the combined VHF and HF measurements we conclude that the source of the off great circle reflections consists of a longitudinal density gradient which is immediately followed by a region of unstable plasma. The unstable plasma affecting the HF signals is shown to consist of a sequence of finger-like structures having; a nominal separation of 15 km which remain below the height of maximum F region electron density.

Velocity distributions as observed by the joint Los AIamos/Max-Planck-Institut (MPE) Garching Fast Plasma Experiment on the ISEE spacecraft reveal two types of low-latitude boundary layer plasma: heated magnetosheath plasma with little or no hot magnetospheric component in the outer boundary layer and a mixture of magnetosheath and magnetospheric plasmas in the inner boundary layer. The observed plasma characteristics can be explained by the process of magnetic reconnection poleward of the region of the cusp. The outer boundary layer that contains heated magnetosheath plasma and little or no hot magnetospheric component appears to be formed by reconnection between magnetosheath and. lobe field lines poleward of one cusp. It is identified to be on open field lines with one end in the ionosphere and the other one in the solar wind. The magnetosheath plasma entering the outer boundary layer is heated and accelerated at the cusp reconnection site and is then transported to the low latitudes along the magnetic field. The hot plasma from the magnetosphere is severely depleted but is not necessarily completely absent since they can escape to the magnetosheath on open field lines with a finite time being required for total depletion to occur. The inner boundary layer is identified to be on closed field lines that have become closed by reconnection of the open end of the flux tube poleward of the second cusp. The inner boundary layer contains a mixture of magnetosheath and magnetospheric plasmas since the hot magnetospheric plasma can drift on to these closed field lines even if the hot plasma was completely absent when the field line was open. Thus when the interplanetary field is strongly northward, two boundary layers are formed, one on open field lines and one on closed field lines, by the sequential action of reconnection beyond the polar cusp.

The system dimensions 25 R(E)X 5 R(E) are able to accommodate large-scale structures associated with magnetotail reconnection. The simulations are started with two ion populations: hot ions forming the thin current sheet self-consistent with the initial equilibrium two-dimensional tail-like magnetic configuration and cold lobe ions with initially uniform density and temperature. The evolution of the initially stable system is triggered by superposition of a spatially localized resistivity. We find ion acceleration and formation of non-Maxwellian multicomponent ion distributions as predicted by test particle studies. Fine features, such as layers of counterstreaming ions, are found in the distributions of the initially cold lobe ions. The hot current sheet ''source'', however gives rather smeared ''output distributions'' due to significant spatial overlapping of ion populations with different histories. We find that ions, which are strongly accelerated in the close vicinity of the reconnection site, contribute little to the equilibrium current before reconnection is initiated. Ions, which significantly contribute to the equilibrium current, are either ejected earthward or carried away inside the released plasmoid without significant energy gain during a single ''impulsive'' interaction with the reconnection fields, Multiple encounters of the acceleration region and quasi-Fermi acceleration of ions trapped between the mirroring earthward boundary and the growing normal magnetic field are found. The simulations also show effective heating of initially cold background ions in the plasma sheet behind the released plasmoid. The tailward speed of energetic ions flowing around the plasmoid along reconnected lobe field lines exceeds the speed of plasmoid. The ions which contribute to these beams are part of the hot population and initially reside in the current sheet. These results match spacecraft observations prior to plasmoid arrival.

This structure is explained in terms of the electron-hole interference effect in the surface layer, which causes the formation of bound states in the normal regions N of the SNINS-type junctions. Good qualitative agreement has been found between experimental data and the predictions of the Arnolds proximity model. Several parameters of the SNINS-type structures have been derived from studies of Fiske resonances in HTSC Josephson break junctions in weak magnetic fields.

The flux pinning strength in these Hg-based superconductors is significantly enhanced compared to the undoped parent materials. Neutron diffraction analysis of representative samples (n=3) revealed that Re partially substitutes the Hg-site with octahedrally fully coordinated oxygen atoms, giving rise to the stabilization of Hg(Re)O layer and reduction of this blocking layer thickness. Associated with the expected hybridization of Re-5d and O-2p orbitals and possible metallization of the HS(Re)O layer, the improved flux pinning behavior is considered to be caused by the decrease of the electromagnetic anisotropy and the enhanced interlayer superconducting coupling strength.

All three compounds have a linear resistivity above 300K but the superconducting compounds show a distinct curvature below this temperature. The thermopower and static magnetic susceptibility have been measured for the same samples to 300-400K. Single crystals of the superconducting compounds RNi(2)B(2)C (R=Lu, Er, Ho) have been polished into geometric bars for direct measurement of the in-plane resistivity (rho(a)) and the c-axis resistivity (rho(c)). The in-plane resistivity of all three compounds is parallel and the effect of spin-disorder scattering is discussed. The resistivity shows very little anisotropy despite the layered structure of these materials. C1 AT&T BELL LABS,MURRAY HILL,NJ 07974. IOWA STATE UNIV SCI & TECHNOL,AMES LAB,AMES,IA 50011.

The pulse sequence employed, selective-echo chemical-shift imaging (SECSI), is a hybrid (frequency-selective/T-1-contrast) technique that is executed in a short period of time, utilizes the full Boltzmann magnetization of each chemical species to form the corresponding image, and requires only hard pulses of quadrature phase. This approach provides a direct and unambiguous representation of the spatial distribution of the two chemical species. In addition, the performance characteristics and the advantages of the SECSI sequence are compared on a common basis to those of other pulse sequences. (C) 1996 Academic Press, Inc.

The lack of understanding of the growth kinetics, however, makes it difficult to fabricate longer samples and reduce the processing times. To study the growth kinetics, quenching experiments of undoped YBa2Cu3O7-x (Y-123) and Y-123 doped with Pt and Nd from above the peritectic temperature with different holding times, t, were conducted. The results of these experiments indicate that the average 211 particle size varies at t(1/3). Growth rate experiments were also conducted on these samples to determine the maximum growth rate for plane front solidification, R(max). This quantity was measured for undoped and doped Y-123, and it was found that the addition of Pt did not increase R(max) while the addition of Nd doubled the growth rate. Using the coarsening results together with the growth rate experiments, the diffusivity of Y in liquid and the 211-liquid interfacial energy for undoped and doped Y-123 were calculated.

Amorphous tungsten in SiO2 aerogel was formed by the decomposition of W(CO)(6) at 250 degrees C. Alternatively, reaction of this material with sulphur at 700 degrees C produced needle-shaped WS2 crystals with lengths ranging from 25-230 nm. Reaction of the W/SiO2 composite with anhydrous NH3 formed crystals of delta-WN with diameters of 1-5 nm. Fe(CO)(5) is readily absorbed into the silica aerogel, forming an amorphous iron oxide/SiO2 composite after slow oxidation in air. Treatment of this material with additional Fe(CO)(5) produced an Fe3O4/SiO2 aerogel composite. Fe3O4 particle sizes were 20-55 nm. After additional heat treatment, this composite exhibited soft ferromagnetic behaviour with a coercivity of similar to 170 Oe. Fe9S10 crystals with diameters of 30-90 nm were formed by the reaction of the amorphous iron oxide/SiO2 composite with H2S at 900 degrees C.

Using CAC, two factors were responsible for the development of strength in the cements: one is the formation of an amorphous calcium-complexed vinylphosphonate (CCVP) salt phase as the reaction product, and the other was the high exothermic reaction energy. Because the formation of CCVP depletes the calcium in the CAC reactants, Al2O3 . xH(2)O gel was precipitated as a by-product. CCVP --> amorphous calcium pyrophosphate hydrate (CPPH) and Al2O3 . xH(2)O --> gamma-AlOOH phase transitions occurred in the CPC body autoclaved at 100 degrees C. Increasing the temperature to 200 degrees C promoted the transformation of CPPH into crystalline hydroxyapatite (HOAp). In the VPA-CSC system, the strong alkalinity of CSC reactant with its high CaO content served in forming the CPPH reaction product which led to a quick setting of the CPC at 25 degrees C. Hydrothermal treatment at 100 degrees C resulted in the CPPH --> HOAp phase transition, which was completed at 300 degrees C for both the VPA-CAC and VPA-CSC systems, and also precipitated the silica gel as by-product. Although the porosity of the specimens was one of the important factors governing the improvement of strength, a moderately mixed phase of amorphous CPPH and crystalline HOAp as the matrix layers contributed significantly to strengthening of the CPC specimens.

The work output per volume of thin film SMA microactuators exceeds that of other microactuation mechanisms such as electrostatic, magnetic, thermal bimorph, piezoelectric, and thermopneumatic, and it is possible to achieve cycling frequencies on the order of 100 Hz due to the rapid heat transfer rates associated with thin film devices. In this paper, a quantitative comparison of several microactuation schemes is made, techniques for depositing and characterizing Ni-Ti-based shape memory films are evaluated, and micromachining and design issues for SMA microactuators are discussed. The substrate curvature method is used to investigate the thermo-mechanical properties of Ni-Ti-Cu SMA films, revealing recoverable stresses up to 510 MPa, transformation temperatures above 32 degrees C, and hysteresis widths between 5 and 13 degrees C. Fatigue data shows that for small strains, applied loads up to 350 MPa can be sustained for thousands of cycles, Two micromachined shape memory-actuated devices-a microgripper and microvalve-also are presented.

Here, iron particles from known positions in a ferrocene-seeded flame and their effects on soot formation are studied. Using EELS, spatial variations in oxidation state of the metal atoms are detected across individual nanometre-sized particles collected from the post-name region, The surfaces of these particles are found to be less oxidized than their centres, Additionally, the particles are imaged with atomic resolution allowing their structure to be identified. Using these results and those for particles collected from in-name regions, direct evidence is provided for the catalytic role of Fe-containing particles in the removal of carbonaceous soot produced during combustion of hydrocarbon-based fuels.

Based on the results of the tests and analyses, separate effects of neutron fluence, tensile properties, alloying elements and major impurities identified in the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) specifications. minor impurities, water chemistry, and fabrication-related variables were determined. The results indicate strongly that minor impurities not specified by the ASTM-specifications play important roles, probably through a complex synergism with grain-boundary Cr depletion. These impurities, typically associated with steelmaking and component fabrication processes, are very low or negligible in solubility in steels and are the same impurities that have been known to promote intergranular CC significantly when they are present in water as ions or soluble compounds. It seems obvious that IASCC is a complex integral problem which involves many variables that are influenced strongly by not only irradiation conditions, water chemistry, and stress but also iron and steelmaking processes, fabrication of the component, and joining and welding. Therefore, for high-stress components in particular, it would be difficult to mitigate IASCC problems at high fluence based on the consideration of water chemistry alone, and other considerations based on material composition and fabrication procedure would be necessary as well.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of a stress applied during welding on the weld cracking of three steels (20%CW 316 Stainless Steel, 25%CW PCA and HT-9) irradiated to 6 to 7 dpa. The irradiation temperature was 200 degrees C with resulting helium contents of 75 appm, 86 appm and 2 appm, respectively. After irradiation, the material was welded using a full penetration, gas tungsten are welding process with stresses of 0, 55, 110, and 165 MPa applied perpendicular to the welding direction. All 316 and PCA irradiated stainless steel specimens showed HAZ or FZ cracking in welds made with no applied stress. No cracking was observed in HT-9 irradiated specimens. No cracking was observed in welds produced with an applied stress. A comparison of irradiated and helium doped experimental results indicates that weld cracking of irradiated materials is no worse than weld cracking in materials doped with He by tritium decay.

The 12Cr-1Mo-0.5W-0.2C alloy HT-9 has been extensively tested for LMFBR applications and shown to resist radiation damage, providing a creep and swelling resistant alternative to austenitic steels. Degradation of fracture toughness and Charpy impact properties have been observed, but properties are sufficient to provide reliable service. In comparison, alloys with lower chromium contents are found to decarburize in contact with liquid sodium and are therefore not recommended. Tungsten stabilized martensitic stainless steels have appropriate properties for fusion applications. Radioactivity levels are benign less than 500 years after service, radiation damage resistance is excellent, including impact properties, and swelling is modest. This report describes the history of the development effort. RP Gelles, DS (reprint author), PACIFIC NW LAB, POB 999, RICHLAND, WA 99352 USA.

However, the neutron doses for the basic performance phase (3-4 dpa) and the extended performance phase (20-30 dpa) are such that large changes in yield strength, deformation mode, and strain hardening capacity will be encountered which could significantly affect fracture properties, Yield strength increases rapidly with dose in the 60-300 degrees C regime with the increase tending to saturate at 1-3 dpa. Under certain conditions, radiation hardening is accompanied by changes in the stress-strain relationship with the appearance of an initial yield drop and a significant reduction in strain hardening capacity, This paper reviews the low temperature (< 400 degrees C) tensile and fracture toughness properties changes seen in 300-series stainless steels after neutron irradiation and discusses the implications for the design of the ITER first wall/shield.

To screen candidate alloys and develop an optimized vanadium-base alloy, extensive investigations of physical and mechanical properties of various V-Ti, V-Cr-Ti, and V-Ti-Si alloys have been conducted before and after irradiation in lithium environment in fast fission reactors. From these investigations, a V-4Cr-4Ti alloy containing 500-1000 wppm Si and < 1000 wppm O + N + C has been identified as the most promising alloy, end more comprehensive testing on the performance of this alloy is being conducted for fusion-relevant conditions. Major results of the comprehensive work to develop the optimal alloy and test the irradiation performance are presented in this paper. The reference alloy V-4Cr-4Ti exhibited the most attractive combination of the mechanical and physical properties that are prerequisite for first-wall and blanket structures, i.e., good thermal creep behavior, good tensile strength and ductility, high impact energy, excellent resistance to swelling, and very low ductile-brittle transition temperature before and after irradiation. The alloy was highly resistant to irradiation-induced embrittlement in Li at 420-600 degrees C, and the effects of dynamically charged helium on swelling and mechanical properties were insignificant. However, several important issues remain unresolved, e.g., welding, low-temperature irradiation properties, helium effect at high dose and high helium concentration, irradiation creep, and irradiation performance in air or helium environment. Initial results of investigation of some of these issues are also given. RP Chung, HM (reprint author), ARGONNE NATL LAB,9700 S CASS AVE,ARGONNE,IL 60439, USA.

Dual ion beam irradiation was carried out to investigate the effect of helium and the chemical effect of doped boron separately on the swelling behavior of V and V-5wt%Fe alloy. Swelling at 873 K was estimated to be larger than that at 793 K for both materials, Without simultaneous helium implantation, cavities formed near grain boundaries more than in the matrix for both V and V-5Fe. Implanted helium atoms dearly assist nucleation of cavities in the matrix for both materials, however they suppress cavity growth at 793 K, The effect of boron addition is not so clear as the effect of helium implantation. Boron addition enhanced swelling of V-5Fe at 793 K, however suppressed at 873 K. C1 UNIV TOKYO, DEPT QUANTUM ENGN & SYST SCI, BUNKYO KU, TOKYO 113, JAPAN. PACIFIC NW LAB, RICHLAND, WA 99352 USA.

Discriminating interactions between individual solute species and vacancy and interstitial defects as they migrate to grain boundaries result in redistribution of solute. Measurements of grain boundary Ni enrichment and Cr depletion indicate that RIS of major alloying elements is in reasonable agreement with the inverse-Kirkendall mechanism. The discriminating interactions for inverse-Kirkendall segregation are the relative rates of solute diffusion by vacancy exchange. Mechanistically, the ternary composition path, defined by change in Cr relative to Ni, depends on relative diffusivities. The absolute change in the composition, that is, extent along the composition path, depends on the kinetics of vacancy formation and migration. The composition path approach is used to quantify diffusional characteristics at low temperatures. Lastly, model predictions suggest a significant influence of grain boundary defect characteristics in addition to matrix defect characteristics. These grain-boundary sensitive characteristics may influence IASCC. RP Simonen, EP (reprint author), PACIFIC NW LAB, POB 999, RICHLAND, WA 99352 USA.

A tensile fracture-strain based method for modeling crack initiation and propagation was used, It was found that the upper shelf energy of precracked specimens (USE(p)) is proportional to b '', where b is ligament size and n varies from about 1.6 for subsize to 1.9 for full size specimens. The USE(p) was found to be proportional to (width)(2.5). The dependence on span was found to be non-linear. The dependence on thickness was found to be linear fur all cases studied.

Rutherford backscattering and ion channeling measurements using 1-4 MeV He-ion beams revealed that the radiation damage saturated after irradiation at 400 degrees C to 50 displacements per atom. The energy dependence of dechanneling indicated the dominant extended defects present in the highly irradiated spinel are in the form of dislocations. Channeling angular scans of particle induced X-ray emission further suggested that neutron irradiation tends to randomize cation distribution for Me(2+) and Al3+ cations on the lattice sites, These results are compared to the microstructure observations of Kinoshita et al, and the neutron scattering results of Sickafus et al.

Additionally, presence of confounding radionuclides in the urine may not be suspected if baseline urine measurements have not been performed before the examination. Methods: We assumed that a spurious contribution of counts corresponding to 1% of the administered Schilling dose would begin to contribute clinically significant interference. Based on the typical amounts of radiopharmaceuticals administered, spectra of commonly used radionuclides and best available pharmacokinetic models of biodistribution and excretion, we estimated the interval required for 24-hr urinary excretion of diagnostic and therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals to drop below this threshold of significant interference. Results: For previously administered Tc-99m-based radiopharmaceuticals and I-123-NaI, the interval required for urinary levels of activity to fall below thresholds of allowable interference are between 2-5 days. For Ga-67-citrate, several In-111 compounds, I-131-MIBG and Tl-201-thallous chloride,periods of 12-44 days are estimated. Estimates for I-131-NaI vary greatly between 4 and 115 days, depending on the amount administered, and the degree of thyroid uptake. Conclusion: Patients should be interviewed before performing the Schilling test to ensure that interfering radiopharmaceuticals have not been recently administered. The estimates developed in this paper can serve as guidelines for the necessary waiting time between prior radiopharmaceutical administration and the Schilling examination.

Methods: A lactating mother was administered 111 MBq of (TI)-T-201 for a brain scan. Breast milk samples were collected over a period of three days, and the rate of (TI)-T-201 secretion was determined. The infant was not breast fed during that time. Based on our data, we determined the time-activity function for radioactivity in the breast milk. From these data, and assuming an intake of 1000 mL/day, we calculated the fraction of administered activity that might be taken in by the infant. We also calculated the intake assuming breastfeeding delays of 2, 24, 48, 72, 96 and 500 hr. Results: We calculated the radiation dose to various organs and the effective dose to an infant and a 1-yr-old for breastfeeding delays of 2 to 500 hr. The effective dose to a 1-yr-old from an administration of 111 MBq of (TI)-T-201 to th, mother ranged from 0.90 mSv to 0.00072 mSv, and the effective dose to a newborn ranged from 1.6 mSv to 0.0013 mSv depending on delay time. Conclusion: Our estimates of radiation exposure to an infant from breastfeeding indicate that in this case, a 1-yr-old would have received less than the NCRP's proposed limit on annual effective dose to members of the general public of 1 mSv with a 48-hr delay and no restrictions on holding the child. A newborn would have received less than the proposed infrequent exposure limit of 5 mSv without any delay or restrictions in breastfeeding. C1 OAK RIDGE INST SCI & EDUC,OAK RIDGE,TN.

Vapor flow of sodium between the slugs is modeled as annular flow with a moving liquid film of variable thickness wetting structural surfaces. The two-phase pressure drop multiplier concept introduced by Lockhart-Martinelli is used in the frame of the slug ejection model with an algorithm that simultaneously computes interfacial friction coefficient and liquid film axial velocity distribution. The implicit continuous Eulerian (ICE) technique developed by Harlow and Amsden for computing pressure distribution in a continuum medium is applied in heterogeneous two-phase flow to the governing equations for the vapor phase. This solution method is more stable than the numerical solution by finite differences of the vapor momentum equation. C1 ARGONNE NATL LAB, DIV ENERGY TECHNOL, ARGONNE, IL 60439 USA.

Three isomerization pathways were investigated. One involves the intermediate prefulvene by a concerted mechanism, which has a significantly higher barrier. The second, also involving prefulvene and cyclopenta-1,3-dienylcarbene intermediates, has a barrier of 84.0 kcal mol(-1). The third, a multi-step pathway, includes bicyclo[3.1.0]hexa-1,3-diene and cyclohexadiene carbene intermediates. The activation energy of the multi-step pathway was calculated to be 743 kcal mol(-1), which is 7-11 kcal mol(-1) higher than the experimental value obtained by a brief very low-pressure pyrolysis (VLPP) study. RRKM calculations were performed on the multi-step pathway in order to determine the rate of isomerization. These theoretical results cast doubt on the validity of the VLPP data.

We find that the spectra are dominated by surface effects, particularly deviations from stoichiometry. We report changes in the line shape and binding energy of the Mo 3d core level XPS spectra that are due to variations in core hole screening related to the density of defects in the surface layer. We also discuss the role of surface defects in modifying ARP spectra close to the Fermi level, particularly in the context of recent claims to observe Luttinger liquid behavior in photoemission spectra from K0.3MoO3.

The HDH chains had their centers deuterated 50%, the DHD chains had their ends deuterated (25% at each end) such that each chain contained approximately 50% D. During welding, anisotropic motion of the chains produces a time-dependent oscillation (ripple) in the H and D concentration at the interface, which bears the characteristic signature of the polymer dynamics. These oscillations were compared with those predicted by Rouse, polymer mode coupling (PMC), and reptation dynamics. The following conclusions can be made from this study. (a) During the interdiffusion of high molecular weight HDH/DHD pairs, higher mobility of the chain ends caused a concentration oscillation which increased to a maximum amplitude, and eventually vanished at times, t > tau(D). The amplitude, or excess enrichment found, was appreciably more than that predicted by Rouse and PMC simulations, and was only slightly less than that predicted from reptation simulations. (b) The oscillations were completely missing in the 30 and 50K HDH/DHD polymers, which are only weakly entangled. The lack of oscillations for the 30 and 50K pairs may be due to a combination of surface roughness and fluctuations of order 30 Angstrom. (c) It was found that the position of the maximum in this ripple stayed at the interface during its growth. This is also consistent with reptation and has not been explained by other theories. (d) All dynamics models for linear polymers produce ripples, many of which are qualitatively similar to that predicted for reptation However, each ripple bears the fingerprint of the dynamics in terms of its time-dependent shape, position, and magnitude, and the models are clearly distinguishable. Our results, in summary, support reptation as a candidate mechanism of interdiffusion at polymer-polymer interfaces and its uniqueness is being further pursued. (C) 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

The data are taken from quasi-isothermal experiments with negligible instrument lag, extrapolated to zero modulation amplitude. Equations based on irreversible thermodynamics that can be understood in terms of the hole theory of liquids are applied to measurements on amorphous, semicrystalline, and biaxially drawn poly(ethylene terephthalate)s (PET). The activation energy of amorphous PET decreases from 328 to 153 kJ/mol on crystallization and to 111 kJ/mol on orientation, and is correlated with an increase in the preexponential factor. After annealing of the crystallized samples below the glass transition temperature, the activation energy of the semicrystalline PET can recover beyond the level of amorphous PET, to 387 kJ/mol. The earlier observed decrease in enthalpy relaxation on crystallization is linked to this sharp decrease in activation energy. (C) 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Blends were available in PBT/PC compositions 80/20 and 40/60, and with M(w) designated by H (high) or L (low). Samples were prepared by melt crystallization, or by cold crystallization following a rapid quench from the melt. Addition of PC reduces the crystallization kinetics of PET so that the resulting crystals are more perfect than those which form in the homopolymer. Degree of crystallinity of the blends followed the rank ordering: L/L > L/H > H/L = H/H. The glass transition behavior was investigated using dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and modulated differential scanning calorimetry (MDSC). All blends exhibited two glass transitions at intermediate temperatures between the T(g)s of the homopolymers, indicating existence of a PET-rich phase and a PC-rich phase. Blends L/L were most, and H/H the least, miscible. Small-angle X-ray scattering was performed at room temperature on cold crystallized blends, or at elevated temperature during melt crystallization. The long period was consistently larger, and the linear stack crystallinity was consistently smaller, in blends L/L or H/L. These results indicate that in blends containing low M(w) PC, there is more PC located within the PET-rich phase. The long period was consistently smaller in cold crystallized samples, while the linear stack crystallinity was nearly the same, regardless of melt or cold crystallization treatment. Reduction of the average long period in cold crystallized samples could result from crystallization of PET within the PC-rich phase. This is consistent with thermal analysis results, which indicate that cold crystallized samples have greater overall crystallinity than melt crystallized samples. A hypothetical liquid phase diagram is presented to explain the differences between melt and cold crystallized blends. (C) 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Total structure functions, which comprise intra- and intermolecular contributions, were derived from the scattering data. The trivial Fourier components of the intramolecular structure (C-C similar or equal to 1.54 Angstrom and C-C-C similar or equal to 2.55 Angstrom) were subtracted from the total structure functions. The remaining functions contain only those intramolecular contributions dependent on the chain's conformational degrees of freedom, plus the intramolecular contributions. The structural differences between the polymers in momentum space are discerned only when the trivial components are subtracted. This subtraction also reduces the effects of truncation errors on Fourier transformation to real space. The short-range structure of PIE appears very different compared to all the others, which correlates with anomalies in a number of physical properties for this polymer.

This article investigates the nano-morphology of these semicrystalline foams. The common morphological feature that these systems display in small-angle scattering can be described by uncorrelated lamellar platelets. The morphological details, which can be obtained using microscopy and small-angle scattering, indicate that these low-density systems occupy a morphological niche between polymeric crystallites from dilute solutions, and spherulitic crystals derived from concentrated solutions and melts. Because these crystalline morphologies occur in concentration ranges between dilute and concentrated, they may offer simple insight into the mechanisms available for distortion of ideal, dilute-solution-derived crystallites as polymer concentration is increased. Several mechanisms for the observed distortions are proposed. (C) 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. C1 SANDIA NATL LABS,ALBUQUERQUE,NM 87185. UNIV MASSACHUSETTS,AMHERST,MA 01003.

Enhancement factors for SERS of p-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) on silver/alumina, silver island, gold/alumina and gold island surfaces were determined using unenhanced FT-Raman spectra of PABA on glass and glass/alumina surfaces as references. The silver/alumina substrate provided the greatest enhancement factor, followed by silver island, gold/alumina and gold island substrates, respectively. An enhancement factor in excess of 10(6) for PABA on a silver/alumina substrate compares favourably with literature reports of similar systems at shorter wavelengths.

The Neel temperature T-N With values between 7.7 K and 5.2 K shows a linear dependence on the hexagonal lattice constant a, which is not valid for c. The best NdPd2Al3 sample was investigated by high-resolution powder neutron diffraction: The crystal structure agrees well with the ordered hexagonal PrNi2Al3-type structure. The antiferromagnetic structure corresponds to a propagation vector k = [1/2, 0, 0]. The ordered magnetic Nd moments of (2.28 +/- 0.07) mu(B) at saturation lie in the basal plane due to the crystal-electric field anisotropy and are oriented perpendicular to the propagation vector. Magnetic properties of NdPd2Al3 are compared with those of isostructural compounds including the heavy-fermion superconductor UPd2Al3 and the heavy-fermion antiferromagnetic CePd2Al3.

There were four purposes. First, current methods to extract D-ij from Gouy and Rayleigh interferometry data depend on treating the D-ij as effectively constant. If concentration differences Delta C-i across the boundary are large, this may not be true. To explore this issue, four sets of experiments were performed. Each set had four experiments with approximately the same total number of fringes J. Each set also had the same corresponding Delta C-1/Delta C-2 ratios as the other three, but the Delta C-i were adjusted such that the four sets had J approximate to 30, 60, 90, and 120, respectively. No clear dependence of the D-ij on Delta C-i was found within their realistic errors. Second, the Costing diffusiometer can yield both Rayleigh and Gouy fringe patterns during the same experiment. Therefore, the D-ij from both methods were compared, and agree well. Third, a new method for analyzing Gouy fringe positions (Miller; program TNY) can be compared to the classical one (Fujita-Gosting; program RFG). The D-ij from both analyses agree well. Fourth, we compared results from the Gosting diffusiometer with those at the same composition from other diffusiometers: one data set by O'Donnell and Costing from an older Gouy apparatus, and three Rayleigh sets at different J values from our older Model H diffusiometer. Results from older diffusiometers were more scattered, but corresponding D-ij agree within realistic errors. As reported previously, realistic errors are approximately four times the statistical errors obtained by least squares. Recommended Rayleigh and Gouy D-ij are presented for this composition.

Its predictions compare satisfactorily to results of uniaxial compaction tests of ceramic granules of lead magnesium niobate-lead titanate (PMN-PT), rutile, and spray-dried alumina, The theory uses volume-based statistical mechanics and an activation analogy to treat, in parallel, the rearrangement of granules and their deformation, Variation of the model incorporates a distribution of barriers to deformation, which can be considered to include the effects of statistical pressure distributions within the compact, Other curve-fitting schemes available in the literature are shown to correspond to particular cases of the theory, and a justification of the equations used in those schemes is provided on physical grounds.

The samples with z < 4 form a single-phase solid solution of Si-Al-O-N isostructural to beta-Si3N4 (space group P6(3)/m). A consistent preferential occupation of the 2c sites by oxygen atoms and the 6h sites by nitrogen atoms exists within this structure. The phonon DOS of beta'-SiAlON displays phonon bands at similar to 50 and 115 meV. These features are considerably broader than the corresponding ones in beta-Si3N4 powder.

From X-ray diffraction, four possible domain variants in the film growth plane were determined to be KNbO3 [1(1) over bar0$] parallel to SrTiO3 [001], [00(1) over bar], [010], or [0(1) over bar0$] denoted as variants X+, X-, Y+, and Y-, respectively. From theoretical modeling of the SHG output from the film, the ratios of nonlinear coefficients d(0)/d(32) and d(24)/d(0) in the film were determined to be 2.19 +/- 0.12 and 0.46 +/- 0.26, respectively, in good agreement with the bulk KNbO, crystals. The term d(0) is defined as d(15) + (d(31) + d(33))/2. The SHG can also distinguish between X+ and X-, as well as Y+ and Y-, domains, which was not possible by X-ray diffraction. The ratio of net area fraction (\A(X+) - A(X-)\/\A(Y+)- A(Y-)\) was determined to be 2.76 +/- 1.06 in the probe area (2.25 pi mm(2)) where A(X+), A(X-), A(Y+), and A(Y-) are the area fractions of domain variants X+, X-, Y+, and Y-, respectively, in the film growth plane.

To accomplish this goal, in this study, RGD peptide was radiolabeled and its biodistribution and renal accumulation was determined in rats with ischemic acute renal failure (ARF). Tc-99m-RGD with or without In-111-DTPA were injected intravenously in control and ARF rats. Various organs were dissected at different times after injection and subjected to gamma-scintillation counting and autoradiography (ARG). Blood clearance of Tc-99m-RGD was rapid, with t1/2 < 10 min, and unchanged in ARF compared with control rats. Kidneys retained the largest portion of the injected dose in both control and ARF rats, as detected using scintillation counting and whole-body ARG (10.56 +/- 1.05% and 10.12 +/- 3.16% injected dose/g wet weight, respectively), Renal ARG revealed a significant increase in binding to the cortex in ARF kidneys, compared with that of control kidneys. Given the differences in renal blood flow and GFR in control and postischemic kidneys, the next series of experiments was performed with two radiopharmaceuticals, Tc-99m-RGD and In-111-DTPA, The ratio of Tc-99m-RGD:111In-DTPA was increased more than threefold in ARF kidneys compared with control kidneys (2.7 +/- 0.15 versus 0.8 +/- 0.19, respectively). The results indicate that (1) RGD peptide undergoes a rapid clearance predominantly via the renal route; (2) despite a significant reduction in the renal perfusion, Tc-99m-RGD peptide accumulates in the postischemic kidney; (3) this is consistent with the hypothesis on the involvement of RGD-recognizing integrins in the development of tubular obstruction in renal ischemia.

The chief statistical difficulty in estimation with these models is that any physiological model that is even approximately realistic will have a large number of-parameters, often comparable to the number of observations in a typical pharmacokinetic experiment (e.g., 28 measurements and 15 parameters for each subject). In addition, the parameters are generally poorly identified, akin to the well-known ill-conditioned problem of estimating a mixture of declining exponentials. Our modeling includes (a) hierarchical population modeling, which allows partial pooling of information among different experimental subjects; (b) a pharmacokinetic model including compartments for well-perfused tissues, poorly perfused tissues, fat, and the liver; and (c) informative prior distributions for population parameters, which is possible because the parameters represent real physiological variables. We discuss how to estimate the models using Bayesian posterior simulation, a method that automatically includes the uncertainty inherent in estimating such a large number of parameters. We also discuss how to check model fit and sensitivity to the prior distribution using posterior predictive simulation. We illustrate the application to the toxicokinetics of tetrachloroethylene (perchloroethylene [PERC]), the problem that motivated this work. C1 LAWRENCE BERKELEY LAB,BERKELEY,CA 94720.

These compounds can have either cyclic or linear aza-ether structures in which the amine hydrogen is substituted with electron withdrawing groups such as CF3SO2-. When these compounds are added to Lithium salt nonaqueous electrolytes, such as LiCl/tetrahydrofuran (THF) or LiBr/THF solutions, the ionic conductivity can be dramatically increased. Near-edge x-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy studies show that Cl- anions are complexed with the nitrogen groups in these compounds. The increase in ionic conductivity, the degree of complexation, and the stability of the complexes are related to the anion size and the structure of the aza compound. Unlike conventional anion complexing agents these compounds are not based on positively charged sites, Lewis acid metal centers, or hydrogen bonding, so they have the potential to be used as additives in lithium battery electrolytes. Details of the synthesis of several of these compounds are given. They can be synthesized with various geometries to accomodate polyatomic anions. C1 USN,RES LAB,WASHINGTON,DC 20375.

The onset potentials of the transpassive dissolution and the plateau potentials during galvanostatic oxidation and their pH dependence are very similar for passive Cr and sputter-deposited Cr2O3 films and indicate that the mechanism of transpassive dissolution of Cr can be experimentally modeled with Cr2O3. X-ray near-edge spectroscopy spectra acquired during anodic potential steps reveal that, prior to transpassive dissolution, Cr(VI) is trapped in the Cr2O3 film. There is no evidence of formation of intermediate Cr(IV); it appears that Cr2O3 is directly oxidized to CrO42- (or Cr2O72-) (or Cr2O72- in acidic solutions). X-ray near-edge spectroscopy measurements made during galvanostatic oxidation/dissolution show that the reaction Cr2O3 --> CrO42- (or Cr2O72-) takes place with a 100% current efficiency over the whole pH range (1 to 13). The results suggest that the transpassive dissolution of metalic chromium is a two-stage process CR --> Cr2O3 --> CrO42- (Cr2O72-), with a faster kinetics of the first step; hence, the thermodynamics and kinetics of the transpassive dissolution of Cr are completely determined by the surface oxide. The significance of present findings for other experimental techniques and possible consequences for the corrosion resistance of stainless steels are discussed.

Relative to the steel composition, the salt layer was high in iron with lower fractions of other metal ions. Only a small fraction of molybdenum was present, negating suggestions that a Mo salt inhibited corrosion. RP Isaacs, HS (reprint author), BROOKHAVEN NATL LAB,DEPT APPL SCI,UPTON,NY 11973, USA.

We asked here if glare discomfort is distinguishable when comparing a scotopically enhanced source with a scotopically deficient source at the same photopic luminance. Similar to our previous discomfort glare study, we used both objective and subjective techniques to assess glare response. Discomfort glare responses were assessed for 12 subjects who viewed two 1.22 by 0.91 m (4 by 3 ft) broadband glare sources (illuminants) with maximum photopic luminances of 3700 cd/m(2). The two sources were approximately matched for photopic luminance, but due to their spectra they had markedly different scotopic luminances. Both sources were presented separately at three different photopic luminance levels. These six glare conditions were each presented five times, for 4 s periods, in a randomized sequence. Electromyographic (EMG) responses from the facial orbicularis oculi muscles were subjected to Fourier analysis and integration of the power spectrum provided a measure of EMG activity. Our objective index of the response to glare was the ratio between EMG samples taken before and during the presentation of the source. For the subjective method, discomfort severity was indicated by subjects marking a visual analog scale (VAS) categorized by four descriptors: perceptible, annoying, disturbing, and intolerable. Both objective and subjective indices systematically increased with increasing luminance. However, the objective measure showed a significantly higher value for the scotopically deficient source at all luminances, while the subjective response was higher only at the greater luminances. We conclude that discomfort glare is related to both the photopic luminance of the source and its spectral composition, with the absence of long-wavelength energy in the spectrum associated with lower levels of discomfort.

This occurs even though none of the surround light falls on the task and the task illumination is unchanged. This induced-color effect is a neural process. To investigate whether such a mechanism describes our results on the effects on visual performance of spectrally controlled pupil sizes, we studied visual performance both with and without mydriasis (pharmacologically dilated and fixed pupil). If the induced-color hypothesis is valid, then it should occur with both fixed and light-responsive pupils. In addition, we studied whether the pupil size effect on visual performance can occur In accurately refracted subjects, or if it is enhanced by the addition of a small amount of optical blur (+0.50 DS). We studied 12 subjects, 21-35 years of age, correctly refracted and with added blur, with normal pupils and mydriasis. We compared Landolt C recognition, with a fixed task luminance but variable contrast, for two different surround spectra, each at 50 cd/m(2). The two different surround spectra controlled subjects: pupil size. For normal pupils, performance was better with smaller pupils, and improved performance due to switching to a scotopically enhanced surround was greater with added blur, even though blur reduced overall performance. Under mydriasis, change of the surround spectrum had no effect on performance, whether there was blur or not. However, the added blur reduced performance under the mydriasis condition, indicating a sensitivity to these parameters. These experiments rule out the induced-color hypothesis and demonstrate the benefits of smaller pupils on Landolt C contrast sensitivity even when subjects are correctly refracted. Further; the results indicate that the measured improvement due to pupil size change is greater when there is imperfect refraction (blur).

We examined the effect of pupil size on the letter-size-acuity function using word-recognition accuracy as the endpoint. Word-reading acuity has been extensively used in vision research as a measure of visual performance and has been shown to correlate well with face recognition and other complex recognition tasks. In this study, the task was shielded from the surround lighting, allowing the luminances of the surround and task to be controlled independently Two pupil size conditions were compared, where pupil size is controlled by high- or low-luminance levels of a single surround illuminant. We chose to use a single illuminant to control pupil size to avoid changes in induced color, which occur when pupil size is changed by varying the surround spectrum. The results here for nine subjects, ages 23-59, replicate and extend our prior visual acuity studies using Landolt C tasks, and show again that smaller pupils improve visual performance even though task retinal illuminance is substantially reduced. We also found that improvement in visual performance with smaller pupils occurs despite an increased disability glare under the high-luminance surround condition. Our results are directly applicable to self-illuminated tasks (e.g., computer terminals) operating with black print on a white background.

This factor is certainly variable and very hard to assess. Potential savings also depend on specific settings and sensitivities of lighting control equipment. This paper assesses the effect of occupant characteristics on potential energy savings from the use of lighting occupancy sensor control. It also presents data describing the interaction among these occupant characteristics and equipment settings as related to energy savings. The study involved placing sensor test equipment in 154 sample spaces in eight office and laboratory buildings for a total of more than 54,700 test hrs. From the data collected, estimates were derived of potential wasted lighting operation relative to space and occupant characteristics. These space and occupant parameters, historically difficult to assess and generally ignored or assumed by the lighting controls industry, greatly affect sensor performance. The study also explored additional savings possible from more effective sensor-equipment adjustment. The study results indicate the actual field-measured potential energy savings associated with differing space and occupant types. These data are useful in assessing cost-effective use of occupancy sensor lighting control. This information, historically unavailable, is an integral part of energy assessment and retrofit decisions. The results also present quantitative insight into the now unattainable energy savings associated with current equipment limitations.

For a prototype counter using Phi 12-mu m anode wires and Phi 250-mu m quartz fibre spacers, we measured a gas gain of 1000 at an anode voltage of 700 V and a drift voltage of -300 V with an energy resolution of 22% FWHM in an Ar-CH4 (90/10) gas mixture. The gas gain remained stable up to a rate of 4 x 10(4) Hz/mm(2), which is a much higher rate than that obtained with a conventional MWPC. C1 MYONG JI UNIV,DEPT PHYS,YONGIN 449728,SOUTH KOREA.

The results show that the solutions act as efficient power-limiting media under laser fluence of as high as 3 J/cm(2) for both picosecond and nanosecond laser pulses. The reversely saturated (clamped) level depends on the type of solvent used. It was found that the saturated level is the lowest with carbon disulfide in comparison with several other solvents. A phenomenological model is used to describe optical limiting phenomena, including the darkening effect of C-60 and the possible contribution of the solvent at high laser intensity.

Proton-carbon coupling constants for 2'-OH to C1', C2' and C3' were measured for the four nucleosides (adenosine, cytidine, guanosine and uridine) in dimethyl sulfoxide, The coupling constants ranged from 1.5 to 4.0 Hz. For the UUCG hairpin similar couplings were used to assign definitively the U5 2'-OH resonance, The relative magnitudes of the coupling constants to C1' and C3' indicate that the U5 2'-OH adopts a trans conformation with respect to U5 C3'. The observation of a strong 2'-OH to H1' NOE and no 2'-OH to H3' NOE confirms the conformational preference of this 2'-OH, The low exchange rate with solvent (1.2 +/- 0.1 s(-1) at 10 degrees C in buffer containing 100 mu M EDTA, 50 mM NaCl and 10 mM sodium phosphate, pH 6.1) and the low chemical shift vs, temperature coefficient of the 2'-OH proton resonance (-0.004 +/- 0.001 ppm degrees C-1) indicate that the hydroxyl group is strongly protected from exchange and probably acts as a hydrogen bond donor, The results are interpreted in the context of previous structural studies of the UUCG tetraloop and provide a basis for comparison to slowly exchanging hydroxyl protons in other RNA molecules.

These premelting N-15 chemical shift changes parallel the pattern of three-centered hydrogen bonds that could form in the [d(CGCAAATTTGCG)](2) dodecamer. The dynamics of adenine amino groups in both dodecamers were also characterized using N-15 T-1 and H-1-N-15 NOE measurements. The data are consistent with the presence of internal motions for adenine amino groups. The motions are highly restricted, with an order parameter S-2 of 0.8, and occur on the picosecond time-scale. The internal motions of the three adenine amino groups in [d(CGCAAATTTGCG)](2) are similar and parallel that of the amino group in the single adenine in [d(CGCGAGCTCGCG)](2).

A variety of stable oxides were added to the base alloy to assess the effect of these dopants on the oxidation behavior at 1200 degrees C in air and O-2. An AL(2)O(3) dispersion flattened the alpha-AL(2)O(3) scale, but produced none of the other reactive element effects and had an adverse influence on the long-term oxidation behavior. A Y2O3 dispersion improved the alumina scale adhesion relative to a Zr alloy addition at 1200 and 1300 degrees C. However, the Y2O3 dispersion was not as effective in improving scale adhesion in Fe3Al as it is in FeCrAl. This inferior performance is attributed to a larger amount of interfacial void formation on ODS Fe3Al. RP Pint, BA (reprint author), OAK RIDGE NATL LAB,POB 2008,OAK RIDGE,TN 37831, USA.

Electron microscopy revealed that the particle diameter is, depending on the process parameters, in the range from 7 to 9 nm or from 5 to 6 nm. In the case of the larger particles, additionally elongated ones with a diameter from 6 to 7 nm and a length from 10 to 15 nm, were found, The larger particles were found to be single crystals. The smaller particle fraction showed a granular substructure, resembling to a polycrystalline particle. The size of these granules is in the range from 2 to 3 nm. The structure of the material was determined by electron diffraction to be the rhombohedral corundum structure. In the temperature range from 10 to 300 K the magnetic behavior can be described by a modified Langevin function but with a magnetic moment having a thermally activated component. In any event, in this temperature range the assumption K upsilon much less than kT is valid, where K is the anisotropy energy and upsilon, the particle volume. The thermally activated magnetization can be attributed to the material with the granular substructure. The size of the magnetic domains was found to be identical with the electronmicroscopically determined size of the granules. C1 LOS ALAMOS NATL LAB,DIV MAT SCI & TECHNOL,LOS ALAMOS,NM 87545.

Single-crystal thin films of Ca1 - xSrxCuO2, the 'infinite layer' parent compound for the high temperature superconductors, have been grown over the composition range 0.15 less than or equal to x less than or equal to 1.0 utilizing a single-target co-deposition growth scheme. These Ca1 - xSrxCuO2 thin films are very high-quality single crystals of the tetragonal, infinite layer phase with extremely narrow diffraction peaks, complete in-plane crystalline alignment with the (100) SrTiO3 substrate, and virtually no impurity phases present. In addition, superlattice structures, consisting of SrCuO2 and (Sr,Ca)CuO2 layers in the tetragonal, 'infinite layer' crystal structure, have been grown by pulsed-laser deposition. These results greatly enhance the possibility of developing new, artificially-layered high temperature superconducting phases via pulsed-laser deposition. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science S.A.

The collimators were constructed from lithium-impregnated polyethylene, which comprises Li2CO3 powder (approximate to 93% enriched isotopic Li-6) uniformly dispersed in polyethylene to a total Li-6 content of 7.0 wt.%. The first collimator is 7.6 cm thick with a conical cavity 16 cm in diameter on the reactor core side tapering to 8 cm facing the patient's head. The second collimator is 15.2 cm thick with a conical cavity 20 cm in diameter tapering to 12 cm. A clinical trial of BNCT for patients with malignant brain tumors is underway using the first collimator. Results of phantom dosimetry and Monte Carlo computations indicate that the new 15.2 cm thick collimator will improve the neutron beam penetration. Thus, the second collimator was made and will be used in an upcoming clinical trial. In-air and in-phantom mixed-field dosimetric measurements were compared to Monte Carlo computations for both collimators. The deeper penetration is achieved but at a sacrifice in beam intensity. In this report, a performance comparison of both collimators regarding various fluence rate and absorbed dose distributions in a head model is presented and discussed.

However, for routine clinical use, computational speed must be adequate. fast, all-particle, CT-based Monte Carlo code called PEREGRINE is being developed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory for radiation treatment planning. As one feature, the code will produce accurate dose distributions from brachytherapy sources in heterogeneous geometries. For efficiency, brachytherapy sources in this model are treated as points or line segments. Radiation is emitted with the proper energy spectrum and (perhaps anisotropic) angular distribution. In particular, for anisotropic emission the polar angle is determined by a random-number driven empirical function constructed from a source's measured or precomputed fluence emission pattern. Source model parameters are presented for iodine and iridium sources. While designed for the PEREGRINE program, this source model can be used in any Monte Carlo code.

A rapid infrared joining process has been developed for the joining of composites and advanced materials. Rapid infrared joining has been shown not to have many of the problems associated with conventional joining methods. Two models were utilized to predict the joint evolution and fiber reaction-zone growth. Titanium matrix composite, 16-ply SCS-6/beta 21S, has been successfully joined with total processing times of approximately 2 minutes, utilizing the rapid infrared joining technique. The process utilizes a 50 degrees C/s ramping rate, 17-mu m Ti-15Cu-15Ni wt pct filler material between the faying surfaces; a joining temperature of 1100 degrees C; and 120 seconds of time to join the composite material. Joint shear-strength testing of the rapid infrared joints at temperatures as high as 800 degrees C has revealed no joint failures. Also, due to the rapid cooling of the process, no poststabilization of the matrix material is necessary to prevent the formation of a brittle omega phase during subsequent use of the TMC at intermediate temperatures, 270 degrees C to 430 degrees C, for up to 20 hours.

The method obtains frequency estimates that maximize the likelihood of the sequences in a simple model for sequence evolution, given a tree or a set of candidate trees computed by other methods. These maximum-likelihood frequencies constitute a profile of the sequences, and thus the method offers a rigorous alternative to sequence weighting for constructing such a profile. The ability of this method to discard misleading phylogenetic effects allows the biochemical propensities of different positions in a sequence to be more clearly observed and interpreted.

Three-chromosome FISH was applied to determine the fractions of hyperhaploid and diploid sperm with DNA probes specific for chromosomes X, Y and 8. The animals were treated with three common solvents. Sperm smears were prepared for FISH by two similar protocols and were scored by different persons and in two different laboratories. There were no significant differences between scorers or laboratories. The frequencies of the sex chromosome aneuploidies in sperm (Y-Y and X-Y) were compared to the frequencies of mice carrying sex chromosome aneuploidy among controls of the heritable translocation assay in studies conducted from 1975-1995. To identify aneuploid individuals, untreated males and females of the genotype (102/E1 X C3H/E1)F-1 were mated to assess their fertility by observing three consecutive litters. Semisterile and sterile animals were further analysed by meiotic cytogenetics and by karyotyping to determine the incidence of reciprocal translocations and sex chromosome aneuploidies (XXY and XYY). Based on the analysis of 175247 sperm and 9840 progeny, the frequency of Y-Y sperm was 0.01% while 0.03% of the offspring were XYY. The frequency of X-Y sperm was 0.005% while 0.02% of the offspring were XXY. The frequencies of aneuploid sex chromosomes were not significantly different between sperm and offspring. This allows two conclusions. First, there was no detectable prenatal selection against these sex-chromosomal aneuploid offspring, and second, germ cell aneuploidy can be reliably determined in mice by sperm FISH analyses.

The DNA probes used were specific for repetitive sequences on chromosomes 8 and X. Heterozygous males for these Robertsonian translocations produced similar to 1% of spermatids with hyperhaploid for chromosome 8, which was > 80 times higher than the frequency of sperm hyperhaploid for chromosome X within the same animals; consistent elevations in chromosome-8 sperm disomy were observed among lines. In addition, similar to 25% higher fractions of sperm aneuploidy were observed when the Robertsonian translocation was inherited from the father rather than from the mother(p = 0.009). These findings illustrate the sensitivity of the FISH procedure for detecting small differences in the hyperhaploidy in male germ cells and suggest that imprinted factors may influence sperm aneuploidy.

The STM has been modified for this purpose to operate in the corrosive environment and in temperatures in the range of 250-300 K. Reactant molecules are adsorbed on the surface at a lower temperature which prevents desorption, diffusion, or spontaneous reactions during the time span necessary for STM-induced experiments. A voltage pulse is applied to the STM tip located above the adsorbed molecule to generate a highly localized and strong electric field. The adsorbed molecule undergoes a chemical reaction to form volatile fluoride resulting in removal of a silicon atom from the surface. The volatile product species is identified as SiF2. The Si atoms neighboring the reaction site undergo minimum displacement as a result of the process. The spontaneous reaction kinetics of XeF2 on the Si surface at low temperatures, after low coverage deposition, is also studied. Low temperatures provide the necessary time to acquire STM information on the number of adsorbed molecules before any substantial reaction takes place. in time, the adsorbed molecules either desorb or react with Si surface atoms to produce volatile products and therefore leave vacancies behind. Once the surface is free of adsorbed fluorinated molecules, excess vacancies resulting from the reaction are counted and the true removal probability is calculated.

The advantages of these techniques are: (i) they are 'gentle' and do not cause radiation damage to nanostructures unlike beam lithography, (ii) they have high throughput and are amenable to mass production unlike direct-write lithography, (iii) structures can be delineated on non-planar substrates, and (iv) the techniques are potentially orders of magnitude cheaper to implement than conventional nanosynthesis. Samples produced by these techniques have been characterized by microscopy, optical and transport measurements, Auger and x-ray. These measurements reveal intriguing properties of the nanostructures. In this paper, we describe our initial results and show the promise of such techniques for low-cost and high-yield nanosynthesis. C1 UNIV NOTRE DAME,DEPT CHEM ENGN,NOTRE DAME,IN 46566.

First, scanning probe microscopy of CdSe and Au nanocrystals bound to a substrate with a self assembled monolayer will be discussed. It is found that imaging in liquids is necessary to avoid removing the nanocrystals. We then address some issues in performing electrical measurements in liquids. In particular, we examine the conducting properties of the AFM tip when imaging a flat surface, highly oriented pyrolytic graphite, in a non-polar liquid, hexadecane. We find that the solvation layers between the tip and the substrate strongly influence the electrical properties. C1 LAWRENCE BERKELEY LAB,INST MOL DESIGN,BERKELEY,CA 94720.

Current ameliorative strategies use physiologically inappropriate high growth-factor concentrations, along with periodic media refeeding in vitro and reinjection or controlled-release devices in vivo. We demonstrate a new approach derived from understanding how these attenuation mechanisms arise from ligand/receptor trafficking processes. Specifically, a recombinant epidermal growth factor (EGF) mutant with reduced receptor binding affinity is a more potent mitogenic stimulus for fibroblasts than natural EGF or transforming growth factor alpha because of its altered trafficking properties.

From previous work we expected to see abnormal hippocampal rCMRglc in the patients, but no striatal abnormalities. Trial-by-trial Stroop cognitive task, which has been shown to activate the anterior cingulate, was performed within a day of the PET study. As our patients performed abnormally on the Stroop we tested for a correlation between the anterior cingulate rCMRglc and Stroop performance. We found no whole slice cortical average glucose metabolic abnormalities. As predicted we found abnormally decreased left hippocampal rCMRglc in the patients. No striatal or cingulate rCMRglc abnormalities were noted in patients, but they demonstrated a highly positive correlation between anterior and cingulate rCMRglc and Stroop facilitation. Patients with higher Stroop interference had more prominent hippocampal metabolic decreases. These localized temporal lobe abnormalities could account for some of the patient's positive symptoms and are consistent with recent findings in the literature.

The observed reduction in the PE/PC ratio may provide a non-invasive in vivo indicator of therapeutic efficacy. (C) 1996 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The profile response is found to exhibit transport behaviour which cannot be described by transport coefficients that depend solely on local parameters. Thus, the transport behaviour is 'non-local'. This non-local behaviour manifests itself as a core electron temperature rise in response to localized edge cooling as well as transient modification of sawteeth. A phenomenological model demonstrating overlapping non-local and non-linear effects is presented in the context of some alternative transport theories. Carbon flakes falling from the TFTR wall into a low power deuterium-tritium supershot produce this same core electron temperature rise. This paper complements observations by Gentle et al.

A localized magnetic well can be produced by a ripple coil system and electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH) is used to increase the ripple trapped fraction of the electrons. The magnetic field ripple is arranged in such a way that the ripple trapped electrons then drift vertically, due to del B, towards the plasma centre. A semi-analytic kinetic analysis has been performed to estimate the ECRH-induced temperature anisotropy of the electrons, which is directly related to the ripple trapping fraction; and a numerical Monte Carlo guiding centre simulation has been performed to study the generation of the radial electric field by the del B injection of the ripple trapped electrons and the E x B detrapping of them. The present study suggests that about 23 kW of ECRH power in the CDX-U device and 10 MW in ITER may be able to create a large enough radial electric field for the H mode transition.

Stable high beta deuterium-tritium (DT) discharges were obtained with beta(p) = 2.4 and a central alpha beta of 0.1%. Instabilities between 75 and 200 kHz were observed by magnetics probes in many DT discharges, but the activity was also present in deuterium-deuterium (DD) comparison discharges, indicating that these modes are not destabilized (principally) by the alpha particle population. Losses of fusion products are also similar in the two sets of discharges. Theoretical simulations confirm that the achieved alpha particle pressure is too small to produce instability.

Such configurations offer advantages for steady state operation and plasma stability. For the particular parameters of this PBX-M experiment, the calculation found singular profiles of plasma current density J and safety factor q developing soon after LHCD begins. Smoothing the lower hybrid wave driven current and power using a diffusion-like equation and a velocity-independent diffusivity for fast-electron current brought the model into reasonable agreement with the measurements if D-fast approximate to 1.0 m(2)/s. Such a value for D-fast is in the range suggested by other work. RP Ignat, DW (reprint author), PRINCETON UNIV,PRINCETON PLASMA PHYS LAB,POB 451,PRINCETON,NJ 08543, USA.

When the nil spectrum of the launched waves was varied, local changes in the current profile were observed according to equilibria reconstructed from motional Stark effect polarimetry measurements. Changes in the central safety factor (q) were also determined to be a function of the applied radiofrequency (RF) power. Calculations of the noninductive current with the Tokamak Simulation Code/Lower Hybrid Simulation Code were unable to duplicate the measured current profiles. Instead, a current broadening mechanism like a finite fast electron diffusion coefficient had to be hypothesized to fit the data. This study was possible only with recent improvements in diagnostics and numerical analysis tools, and it constitutes an important contribution to our understanding of non-inductive current drive for future fusion reactors.

The detectors were combined with newly designed, fast, lower power, bipolar amplifier-shaper-discriminator chips and CMOS digital pipeline chips to record hit-no hit signals in the strips. Efficiencies, noise occupancies, and spatial resolutions were measured before and after the proton irradiation at an equivalent fluence of 1 x 10(14) p/cm(2), depending on angle of track incidence and strip-pitches. The median pulse height distribution, derived from the threshold scans of the efficiency, allowed to extract the response of the detector.

Interstitial evaporation from {311} extended defects dominates transient diffusion over most of the range of temperatures, times, and dopant concentrations of technological interest. The reactions between interstitials and impurities are investigated by measuring the effect of O, P, B, and C impurities on {311} defects. Interstitial traps such as B and C exert a strong influence at concentrations > 10(18) cm(-3) Damage and defect formation are characterised for very shallow implants (2-5 keV Si). Even above the amorphisation threshold, stable {311} defects dominate the microstructure, despite the proximity of the surface. C1 OAK RIDGE NATL LAB,OAK RIDGE,TN 37831.

Our discussion is based on Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulation studies and reveal very different mechanisms for metals and covalent semiconductors. For metals we show how melting of the cascade core, in combination with long replacement collision sequences along low index crystallographic directions leads to the production of large number of defects in clusters and a small (approximate to 10%) fraction of isolated interstitials well separated from the cascade region. In silicon, we show how the energy deposition process leads to the production of local amorphous regions and very few isolated Frenkel pairs. Because replacement collision sequences are extremely short in the open diamond lattice, very few or no isolated interstitials result. We argue that these observations provide a basis to understand the very large difference in freely migrating defect production efficiency in metals and silicon. The results provide an underlying cause for the extremely high bulk recombination efficiency observed in ion implanted and annealed silicon and provide a physical basis for the ''+1'' interstitial model in ion implanted silicon.

Both sinks are inferred to act by the segregation of metal atoms to pre-existing low-energy sites, namely surface chemisorption sites in the case of cavities and bulk solution sites in the case of the B-Si phase. These gettering processes exhibit large binding energies, and they are predicted to remain active for arbitrarily small initial impurity concentrations as a result of the segregation mechanisms. Both appear promising for gettering in Si devices. RP Myers, SM (reprint author), SANDIA NATL LABS,POB 5800,ALBUQUERQUE,NM 87185, USA.

The scheme employed ensures pressure relaxation of the target, and the effects of preferential sputtering, collisional mixing, radiation-enhanced diffusion, and Gibbsian and radiation-induced segregation are allowed for. High-fluence composition profiles were determined directly from a nonlinear integro-differential equation by means of an efficient iteration procedure developed recently. The dependence of the composition profile on input parameters such as target temperature and defect mobility was examined for Ni-Cu and Ni-Pd alloys. C1 ARGONNE NATL LAB,ARGONNE,IL 60439.

A comparative analysis of mechanisms influencing RS and RES signals has been made. This analysis revealed that, due to different sensitivity of each method to various defect structures, it is possible to distinguish several different types of implantation induced disorder. RS results indicate that a second type of amorphous structure. having medium-range order, grows at the expense of the continuous-random-network structure, even at doses beyond the threshold for complete amorphization.

Three aspects of the source have been investigated: hydrogen ion species, axial energy spread and extractable current. An atomic ion fraction (H+) of approximately 30% could be obtained with a discharge power of 80 V and 3 A. A magnetic analyzer was used to determine the axial energy spread of the extracted (i.e. accelerated) ion beam species, and an electrostatic energy analyzer was used to determine the energy spread of the ions at the source exit. The energy spread of the extracted beam for the individual species of positive hydrogen ions (H+, H-2(+), H-3(+)) and that for the negative hydrogen ions (H-) was measured as well. Energy spreads as low as 2.3 eV were obtained for H+, 2 eV for H-2(+), 1.7 eV for H-3(+), and 1 eV for H-. The axial energy spread in the source exit without extraction for hydrogen and helium was measured to be approximately 1 eV for both cases. The source can generate a hydrogen beam current density of approximately 12 mA/cm(2). C1 UNIV CALIF BERKELEY,LAWRENCE BERKELEY LAB,BERKELEY,CA 94720.

The question arises whether one can formulate resummation procedures that are explicitly consistent with the infrared behaviour of finite-order Feynman diagrams. We explain how this problem can be treated and resolved in Drell-Yan (lepton pair) production and briefly discuss more complicated cases, such as top quark production and event shape variables in the e(+)e(-) annihilation.

The H-2 generation can be mitigated substantially by substituting a fraction of formic acid with nitric acid as the required acid source, and then using formic acid as the required reductant source. The peak H-2 generation rate was reduced by more than a factor of 2, and a more gradual rise in the H-2 evolution resulted. However, the addition of mercury to the sludge increased the evolution of H-2 as did increasing the amount of nitric acid used and the rate of addition of the formic acid source. Overall, these results provided clear insight into what controlled the evolution of H-2 from high-level waste sludge and a means of mitigating it.

Engineering design of the new beam shutter system has been completed and design review is under way. With this upgrade, the epithermal neutron flux could be increased up to seven times higher than the present beam, and the fast-neutron dose per epithermal neutron fluence could be reduced to near half. Such an enhanced epithermal neutron beam would increase the effectiveness of clinical BNCT by allowing increased doses to the tumor with similar or lesser doses to normal tissues.

The Raman technique is very sensitive to, and provides a clear identification of, the oxides Fe2O3 and Cr2O3. However, the technique is insensitive to NiO, FeO, and does not give a clear identification of spinels. The Fe-Cr-Ni alloys form chromia scales at temperatures greater than similar to 800 degrees C. At lower oxidation temperatures, transient phases are observed With a 1-h heat treatment at 300 degrees C, we observe the formation of an unidentified scale; we speculate that it is either amorphous or consists of disordered spinel(s). Near 400 degrees C we begin to observe hematite (Fe2O3). The intensity of the Fe2O3 signal increases with temperature to similar to 600 degrees C and then decreases, being largely replaced by the signal from Cr2O3 The thickness of the Cr2O3 scale increases with temperature up to similar to 1000 degrees C above which spallation becomes apparent. Spinel phases also apparently persist in the scale to 1000 degrees C. C1 ARGONNE NATL LAB,DIV ENERGY TECHNOL,ARGONNE,IL 60439.

The photographs were digitally scanned in order to perform on-screen computer change detection. The digital analysis of these photographs allowed disparate views of the waste site to be transformed so that they matched in scale, orientation, and extent. This was especially useful for oblique photographs of the waste site. The coregistered images were studied individually (and in comparison with each other) to identify features which were indicative of human activity at the site and to provide a physical history of natural and human induced changes. The coregistered images were imported to a geographic information system and geographically coded to a common coordinate system. The geographic information system was used to extract the boundaries of features such as suspected trenches and disturbed soil. This preliminary analysis forms a basis for planning and comparing the results from other remote sensing and geophysical surveys which will be used to improve the characterization of the waste site.

We find the new approach is safer than using F-2 gas and is capable of both fluorinating and fluorine doping. We find a superconducting signature in several compounds of the series Sr2CuO2F2+x but find no evidence that the fluorinated phase is responsible for the superconductivity. There is evidence that the doping with fluorine of the Sr2CuO2Cl2 crystal (T-N = 257 K) suppresses the antiferromagnetic ordering. YBa2Cu3O7:F and YBa2Cu4O8:F show no change in T-c and a decrease in the Meissner and shielding fractions relative to the undoped samples.

The results are compared to the predicted behaviour at a Kosterlitz-Thouless (KT) transition, Neither of the samples enters a KT critical region. The thicker film appears three dimensional in the vicinity of T-c, and excitations other than vortex-anti-vortex pairs govern the transition. The thinner sample is two dimensional in the entire temperature region, but the KT transition is hampered by effects of finite penetration depth, finite sample size and/or sample inhomogeneities. The magnetic noise power density was also measured and compared to the AC-conductivity data, showing that the fluctuation-dissipation theorem is valid.

This mechanism produces dissociation at collision energies below the excitation threshold for the ion's dissociative states and can alter the dissociation products. Calculated DE cross sections fdr (HeH+)-He-4 and 3HeD+ between 5 and 25 eV contain contributions from several resonances and agree well with the recent measurements by Stromholm et al. [Phys. Rev.

Product state information has been obtained over a wide range of electron energies with a position sensitive detector consisting of a graded absorber in combination with a surface-barrier detector. At low electron energies (<3 eV) hydrogen atoms are formed preferentially in highly excited states (n>2); at high electron energies (>12 eV) both hydrogen fragments are excited. The dissociative recombination rate of H-2(+) has been measured also as a function of storage time in the energy range of 0 eV to 20 eV. We show that the H-2(+) beam is still vibrationally excited after 20 s at our experimental conditions. The H-2(+) ions relax vibrationally through interaction with electrons in the electron cooler. Vibrationally excited levels (upsilon greater than or equal to 5) have DR rates that exceed the DR rate of the lower vibrational levels by two orders of magnitude. The latter observation has important consequences for the interpretation of previous DR experiments on H-2(+). C1 ROYAL INST TECHNOL, DEPT PHYS 1, S-10044 STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN.

This dependence necessarily exists and enters implicitly via the convergence property of the basis expansion. In two-center expansions, an explicit dependence on the gauge function associated with W' always remains because of the nonorthogonality of the basis states belonging to different centers in the reaction zone. The observation discussed here and supported by physical examples is relevant to the assessment of the asymptotic cross-section behavior for electron-positron pair production in relativistic atomic collisions.

The kinetic-energy release in the recombination process was measured for incident electron energies between 0 and 15 eV. It was found that the He(1s(2))+D,H(n = 2) channel completely dominates at zero electron energy. The branching ratios observed slightly above the threshold for the n = 3 state of the H (D) atom indicate a rapid switchover of the final-state population to this level. At collision energies above 10 eV many channels leading to excited He atoms are found to contribute, and also a strong angular anisotropy of the dissociation products is observed.

In Pr-substituted (underdoped) samples with O-18 in only the CuO2 plane-sites, the T-c shift was -1.46 K vs -1.7 K for O-18 at all sites, the alpha(0) values are 0.2 and 0.34. The corresponding T-c shifts in pure TiBa2Cu3O7-delta were -0.24 K and -0.3 K. The shift is dominated by CuO2 planar oxygen mass in both compounds, and nor by the apical sites. Thus, apical site isotope induced charge transfer to CuO2 planes does not seem a viable explanation for the isotope effects in YBCO. Our results indicate that the oxygen related phonons in the CuO2 planes play a significant role in the pairing mechanism. C1 UNIV CALIF BERKELEY,LAWRENCE BERKELEY LAB,CTR ADV MAT,BERKELEY,CA 94720.

The bicrystal series ranged from 1.5 degrees to 45 degrees misorientation angle and displayed tendencies similar to those of thin film GB's at 77 K in self-field. Subtle differences between thin film and bulk GB transport behavior that were observed may be attributed to the thin film substrate. The dependence of normal-state resistance (R(n)) at 77 K on the [001] tilt angle has been noted. An anticorrelation between R(n) and critical current (I-c) exists such that the product, I(c)R(n), of each bicrystal from 10 degrees to 45 degrees falls within a narrow band of 10 to 20 mu V. Such a narrow characteristic voltage range suggests highly reproducible growth conditions. It is also reasonable to suggest that naturally grown boundaries in bulk MP YBCO have more uniform GB character than their thin film counterparts. This advantageous growth technique allows us to further probe the role of the GB plane in influencing transport properties. C1 ARGONNE NATL LAB, DIV MAT SCI, ARGONNE, IL 60439 USA.

Data were acquired for incident pion energies of 180, 220, 256, and 295 MeV. Nuclear charge symmetry is investigated with the aid of several charge-symmetric ratios formed from combinations of measured cross sections. A particularly intriguing result is obtained from the superratio R, which is defined as R=d sigma(pi(+3)H)d sigma(pi(-3)H)/d sigma(pi(+3)He)d sigma(pi(-3)He). R is found to be greater than unity at 180 MeV and significantly smaller than unity at 256 MeV, with the transition occurring at around 210 MeV. The charge-symmetry prediction for this ratio (after allowance for the Coulomb force) is one, and is independent of energy and angle. C1 UNIV CALIF LOS ANGELES,DEPT PHYS,LOS ANGELES,CA 90024.

Evaporation residues were selected using an in-flight recoil mass separator, the Argonne Fragment Mass Analyzer, and implanted in a double-sided silicon strip detector. Prompt gamma rays in Rn-200 were observed at the target position using the AYEBALL array of 19 Compton-suppressed germanium detectors, and were identified by the subsequent radioactive decay of associated recoiling ions in the strip detector. Isotopic assignments of the nuclei produced were made on the basis of the mass-to-charge ratio of the recoiling ion and the energy and half-life of its alpha decay. Previous results concerning transitions in Rn-202 were confirmed. The level scheme deduced for Rn-200, compared with those of heavier radon isotopes, is not consistent with the onset of deformation predicted by theoretical calculations. The estimated production cross section for Rn-200 in this reaction was 5 mu b. C1 ARGONNE NATL LAB,ARGONNE,IL 60439.

A set of nuclei is proposed that may represent favorable cases for observation of this effect in normally deformed nuclei. It is found that the occurrence of Delta I=4 bifurcation is extremely sensitive to the quasiparticle distribution near the Fermi surface; therefore such effects probe the microscopic quasiparticle structure of rotational bands in a very sensitive manner.

The breakup is treated in the eikonal approximation with a profile function calculated from a realistic optical potential at low energies and from free nucleon-nucleon cross sections at high energies. This treatment gives a good description of measured breakup cross sections, as well as the longitudinal momentum distribution of the corelike fragments, which is narrower than predicted in the transparent limit. The real part of the potential is found to be significant and enhances the diffractive breakup at low energies. C1 ARGONNE NATL LAB,DIV PHYS,ARGONNE,IL 60439.

When combined with previous measurements, the new results help delineate the dependence of nuclear effects on the kinematic variables p(t), m, and root s.

This scheme often allows predictions for unknown nuclei by interpolation rather than extrapolation. A Taylor expansion shows that the Weizsacker mass formula in fact behaves in first order as alpha N-p-N-n though such a functional dependence is not explicit and has not been noted before.

SEMILEPTONIC DECAYS; ASTERISK PRODUCTION; PBARP INTERACTIONS; ROOT-S=1.8 TEV; FORM-FACTORS AB We report a measurement of the ratios of the decay rates of the B+, B-0, and B-s(0) mesons into exclusive final states containing a J/psi, meson. The final states were selected from 19.6 pb(-1) of collisions recorded by the Collider Detector at Fermilab. These data are interpreted to determine the b quark fragmentation fractions f(u), f(d), and f(s). We also determine the blanching fractions for the decay modes B-+ --> J/psi K+, B+ --> J/psi K*(892)(+), B-0 --> J/psi K-0, B-0 --> J/psi K*(892)(0), and B-s(0) --> J/psi phi(1020). We discuss the implications of these measurements to B meson decay models. C1 ARGONNE NATL LAB,ARGONNE,IL 60439. UNIV BOLOGNA,IST NAZL FIS NUCL,I-40126 BOLOGNA,ITALY. BRANDEIS UNIV,WALTHAM,MA 02254.

An unpolarized neutral beam striking a target at +/- 1.8 mrad produced 1.4 x 10(7) Xi(-)'s with an average momentum of 395 GeV/c which were unpolarized, within a sensitivity limit of 0.007, and 2.2 x 10(5) Omega(-)'s with a polarization of +0.042 +/- 0.007 at an average momentum of 374 GeV/c. A polarized neutral beam striking a target at 0.0 mrad produced 7.1 x 10(5) Xi(-)'s which had a polarization of -0.118 +/- 0.004 at an average momentum of 393 GeV/c and 1.8 x 10(4) Omega(-)'s with a polarization of -0.069 +/- 0.023 at an average momentum of 394 GeV/c. The polarized neutral beam measurement is in good agreement with a previous measurement. The unpolarized neutral beam results are not understood in the context of the current models of hyperon polarization. C1 UNIV MINNESOTA,SCH PHYS & ASTRON,MINNEAPOLIS,MN 55455.

The theoretical status of K --> pi is briefly reviewed and their phenomenological potential is compared with that of CP asymmetries in B decays. We stress the unique opportunities provided by measuring the CP-violating rare decay K-L --> pi(0) . It is pointed out that this mode is likely to offer the most precise determination of Im V-ts*C-td and the Jarlskog parameter J(CP), the invariant measure of CP violation in the standard model.

The relation of the phenomenological P-3(0) model of these decays to ''microscopic'' QCD decay mechanisms has never been established clearly. In this paper we investigate meson decay amplitudes assuming pair production from the scalar confining interaction (sKs) and from one gluon exchange (OGE). sKs pair production predicts decay amplitudes of approximately the correct magnitude and DIS amplitude ratios in b(1) --> omega pi and a(1) --> rho pi which are close to experiment. The OGE decay amplitude is found to be subdominant in most cases, a notable exception being P-3(0) --> S-1(0) + S-1(0).

All mass scales in our scheme are generated from the supersymmetry-breaking scale Lambda(SSB) approximate to 10(7) GeV through radiative corrections. We assume a spontaneously broken flavor symmetry and the Froggatt-Nielsen mechanism for generating the fermion Yukawa couplings. Supersymmetry breaking radiatively induces a vacuum expectation value for a scalar field, which generates invariant masses for the Froggatt-Nielsen fields at M(F) approximate to 10(4) GeV. ''Flavon'' fields phi, which spontaneously break the flavor symmetry, naturally acquire negative squared masses due to two-loop diagrams involving the Froggatt-Nielsen fields, and acquire vacuum expectation values of order [phi] approximate to M(F)/16 pi(2). The fermion mass hierarchy arises in our framework as a power series in the ratio [phi]/M(F) approximate to 1/16 pi(2).

On a one-dimensional lattice with N<5 species, spatial inhomogeneities develop spontaneously in initially homogeneous systems. The arising spatial patterns form a mosaic of single-species domains with algebraically growing average size, [l(t)]similar to t(alpha) where alpha=3/4 (1/2) and 1/3 for N=3 with sequential (parallel) dynamics and N=4, respectively. The domain distribution also exhibits a self-similar spatial structure which is characterized by an additional length scale, [L(t)]similar to t(beta) with beta=1 and 2/3 for N=3 and 4, respectively. For N greater than or equal to 5, the system quickly reaches a frozen state with noninteracting neighboring species. We investigate the time distribution of the number of mutations of a site using scaling arguments as win as an exact solution for N=3. Same relevant extensions are also analyzed.

The nonlocal approximation is strictly applicable only to electrons which are confined in the plasma volume by the space charge electric field. The unconfined electrons which have a sufficiently high total energy to overcome the space charge potential barrier in front of the walls, and which can therefore be lost from the plasma to the walls, are not consistently addressed by the nonlocal approximation. We compare EDF's from nonlocal calculations in positive column plasmas with and without inclusion of the wall losses in different approximations to results of an efficient, accurate Monte Carlo benchmark method. The expected range of (column radius) X (gas density) for applicability of the nonlocal approach with wall losses is confirmed. The anisotropy of the. EDF caused by wall losses of unconfined electrons and by the axial electric field is studied using Monte Carlo simulations. The impact of the anisotropy on the applicability of the nonlocal approximation is discussed. The importance of the appropriate inclusion of the wall losses of unconfined electrons in the nonlocal approximation is demonstrated. An approximation of the treatment of the walt losses in nonlocal calculations is studied, which yields good agreement with the Monte Carlo results in the entire applicable range of the nonlocal approximation.

Laminated materials are a common example. The method can handle harmonic waves and also transient waves arising from a finite duration impulse. The method is sufficiently robust to treat impact, as we show here. Both linear and nonlinear elastic-stress-strain relations can be included. The present work generalizes the method to include viscoelastic materials (such as polymers), systems with cell structure deviating from perfect periodicity (including random), and systems simulating actual impact experiments. We test the theory by comparing our results with measurements taken from a flat-plate impact experiment. The system investigated was a bilaminate composed of unit cells of epoxy and epoxy-graphite subcells. Using known and estimated material parameters, we find that the MOC gives a reasonable representation of the data. We then address some features of the experimental data that have not yet been explained by other theoretical methods. The importance of unit cell periodicity is tested by adding a random incremental width to each unit cell. Finally, the shortcomings of the MOC caused by using a truncated series expansion for the particle displacements, and neglecting plastic flow and nonadiabatic effects are discussed.

It turns out that, in such a system, velocity perturbation in the most dangerous modes contains a significant and strongly nonuniform shear component that causes an increase of the viscous dissipation. Growth rates of the Rayleigh-Taylor instability for some specific examples of these fine structures are found. The conclusion is drawn that, although the viscous dissipation indeed increases, it remains insufficient to strongly reduce the growth rate of the large-scale perturbations. Possible situations where this conclusion would become invalid (and where the fine structure would produce a stronger stabilization of the global mode) are discussed.

M. Meade, J. Fusion Energy 7, 107 (1988)] by comparing hydrogen and deuterium plasmas with the same magnetic field and similar electron densities and heating power, with both Ohmic and deuterium-neutral-beam heating. Following a long operational period in deuterium, nominally hydrogen plasmas were created through hydrogen glow discharge and hydrogen gas puffing in Ohmic plasmas, which saturated the exposed limiter surface with hydrogen and raised the H/(H+D) ratio from 10+/-3% to 65+/-5%. Ohmic deuterium discharges obtained higher stored energy and lower loop voltage than hydrogen discharges with similar limiter conditions. Neutral-beam power scans were conducted in L-mode plasmas at minor radii of 50 and 80 cm, with plasma currents of 0.7 and 1.4 MA. To minimize transport differences from the beam deposition profile and beam heating, deuterium neutral beams were used to heat the plasmas of both isotopes. Total stored energy increased approximately 20% from nominally hydrogen plasmas to deuterium plasmas during auxiliary heating. Of this increase about half can be attributed to purely classical differences in the energy content of unthermalized beam ions. Kinetic measurements indicate a consistent but small increase in central electron temperature and total stored electron energy in deuterium relative to hydrogen plasmas, but no change in total ion stored energy. No significant differences in particle transport, momentum transport, and sawtooth behavior are observed. Overall, only a small improvement (similar to 10%) in global energy confinement time of the thermal plasma is seen between operation in hydrogen and deuterium. (C) 1996 American Institute of Physics.

V. Budny et al., Nucl. Fusion 35, 1497 (1995)] is used to construct comprehensive, self-consistent models for plasmas within the separatrix surface in the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) [Technical Basis for the ITER Interim Design Report, Cost Review and Safety Analysis (International Atomic Energy Agency, Vienna, 1996)]. Steady state profiles of two plasmas from the ITER ''Interim Design'' database are used. Effects of 1 MeV neutral beam injection, sawteeth mixing, toroidal field ripple, and helium ash transport are included. Results are given for the fusion rate profiles, and parameters describing effects such as the alpha particle heating of electrons and thermal ions, and the thermalization rates. The modeling indicates that the deposition of the neutral beam ions will peak in the plasma center, and the average beam ion energy will be half the injected energy. Sawtooth mixing will broaden the fast alpha profile. The toroidal ripple loss rate of alpha energy will be 3% before sawtooth crashes and will increase by a factor of 3 immediately following sawtooth crashes. Various assumptions for the thermal He transport and the He recycling coefficient at the separatrix R(rec) are used. If the ratio of helium and energy confinement times, tau(He)*/tau(E) is less than 15, the steady state fusion power is predicted to be 1.5 GW or greater. The Values of the transport coefficients required for this fusion power depend on R(rec). If this is larger than about 0.5, and if the inward pinch is small the required He diffusivity must be much larger than that measured in tokamaks. (C) 1996 American Institute of Physics.

In this general formulation, only the basic small parameter epsilon with w/Omega similar to k parallel to/k perpendicular to similar to epsilon and delta n/n(0) similar to 1/k perpendicular to L similar to epsilon, is used, while no device-specific expansion has been made. Here, L is the equilibrium scale length. For application to microturbulence in tokamak core transport barriers, an additional small ordering parameter delta(B)=B theta/B much less than 1 is utilized. This leads to a useful form of the nonlinear gyrokinetic system which is applicable to a realistic situation in which the gradient lengths of the equilibrium radial electric field and pressure are of the same order as the ion poloidal gyroradius. The ordering for fluctuations is also modified to delta n/n(0) similar to epsilon delta(B) much less than 1/k perpendicular to L similar to delta(B) for a better description of sub-mixing-length level fluctuations. U-E/V(Ti)similar to delta(B) and rho(theta i)similar to L(p) put the pressure-gradient contribution to E(r) and the toroidal-flow contribution to E(r) at the same order delta(B) similar to epsilon is shown to be a maximal ordering for studying the ExB flow shear suppression of turbulence.

Br. Assoc. Adv. Sci., A, 159-160) to the present. I consider a number of kinematic results, from Cowling's proof(Cowling, 1934, Mon. Not. R. Astron. Sec., 94: 39-48) that two-dimensional dynamo action is not possible, to the proofs by Backus (1958, Ann. Phys., 4: 372-447) and Herzenberg (1958, Philos. Trans. R. Sec. London, Ser. A, 250: 543-585) that three-dimensional dynamo action is possible. I next rum to various mean-field and convective models in which the fluid flow is no longer kinematically prescribed, but is itself dynamically determined. In these dynamical models, I describe the distinction between weak and strong field regimes that comes about owing to the effect of the field on the pattern of convection in a rapidly rotating system. I consider the dynamics of Taylor's constraint (Taylor, 1963, Proc. R. Sec. London, Ser. A, 274: 274-283), and demonstrate how it makes the analysis of the geophysically appropriate strong field regime particularly difficult.

In the frozen flux method, the core radius is assumed to have the value r(FF), for which the integrated unsigned radial magnetic flux, from the sphere of that radius, is most nearly constant in time. In the flat spectrum method, the core radius is assumed to have the value r(FS) for which the power spectrum of the field, defined as the mean square energy density in the lth spherical harmonic component of the field at that radius, is most nearly independent of l. These two methods are here applied to a new geodynamo integration that is a continuation of a recently published simulation (see Glatzmaier and Roberts, 1995a, Phys, Earth Planet. Inter., 91: 63-75; Glatzmaier and Roberts, 1995b, Nature, 377: 203-209) and which, like the Earth, maintains a more strongly dipole dominated magnetic field. The rate of change of the unsigned flux was averaged over two different 300 year intervals at a number of radii, r, from the geocenter, The resulting functions of r were found to have zeros at r(FF) of approximately 3550 km and 3477 km, respectively. This demonstrates how sensitive this method is to the time interval selected for the computation. Even if, as is often done when the flat spectrum method is applied to the Earth, the centered dipole (l = 1) is excluded, the spectrum of our model could not be made convincingly flat; but a radius r(FS) at which it is most flat can be defined. The value of r(FS) is, however, very sensitive to the number of spherical harmonics retained in the spectrum and to a lesser extent is time dependent. On the basis of these studies, and impressed by the lack of a sound physical justification for the flat spectrum method, we conclude that that method provides a less certain way of estimating the radius of a planetary core than does the frozen flux approximation, and that even the latter should be employed with caution.

Formal developments are introduced in a form particularly suited for practical applications. These include the operator product expansion, the heavy mass expansion, the decoupling of heavy quarks and matching conditions. Exact results for the quark mass dependence are presented whenever available, and formulae valid in the limit of small bottom mass (m(b)(2) much less than s) or of large top mass (m(t)(2) much greater than s) are presented. The differences between vector and axial vector induced rates as well the classification of singlet and nonsinglet rates are discussed. Handy formulae for all contributions are collected and their numerical relevance is investigated. Prescriptions for the separation of the total rate into partial rates are formulated. The applicability of the results in the low energy region, relevant for measurements around 10 GeV and below, is investigated and numerical predictions are collected for this energy region.

The genomic structure of the field population was analyzed by repetitive sequence-based polymerase chain reaction with oligonucleotide primers corresponding to interspersed repeated sequences in prokaryotic genomes and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) with the insertion sequence IS1113. The techniques and specific probes and primers were selected because they grouped consistently into the same lineages a set of 30 selected X. oryzae pv, oryzae strains that represented the four distinct RFLP lineages found in the Philippines did. Strains (155) were systematically collected from a field planted to rice cv. Sinandoment, which is susceptible to the indigenous pathogen population. Two oi the lour Philippine lineages, B and C, which included race 2 and races 3 and 9, respectively, were detected in the field. Lineage C was the predominant population (74.8%). The haplotypic diversities of 10 of the 25 blocks were significantly greater than the total haplotypic diversity of the collection in the entire field; however, between individual blocks the haplotypic diversities were not significantly different. Haplotypes from both lineages were distributed randomly across the field. Analysis of genetic diversity at the microgeographic scale provided insights into the finer scale of variation of X. oryzae, oryzae, which are useful in designing experiments to study effects of host resistance on the population structure oi the bacterial blight pathogen.

Efficient heating of high-density (<(n)over bar (e)> less than or similar to 3 x 10(20) m(-3)) plasmas was demonstrated with high power densities (up to 5 MW m(-3) volume averaged, 0.6 MW m(-2) surface averaged). These experiments were carried out with RF powers up to 3.5 MW at 80 MHz, at magnetic fields up to 8 T and plasma currents up to 1.2 MA. For on-axis hydrogen minority heating at 5.3 T, near complete absorption is achieved. Energy confinement in L-mode plasmas was found to be consistent with the ITER89-P scaling. H-mode is routinely observed when the ion del B drift is directed toward the X-point. The H-mode power threshold was found to scale as low as P/S(MW m(-2)) = 0.02 <(n)over bar (e)>B-T(10(20) m(-3) T), which is a factor of two lower than the scaling observed on other tokamaks. PEP modes with highly peaked density and ion temperature profiles and highly enhanced fusion reactivity were obtained with Li pellet injection followed by on-axis ICRF heating at both B-T = 5.3 T (H minority heating) and 8 T (He-3 minority heating). In H-He-3 plasmas at B-T = 6.5 T highly localized direct electron heating by the mode converted ion Bernstein wave was observed. Nearly complete absorption by electrons in a small volume resulted in an extremely high electron heating power density of P-e0 less than or similar to 30 MW m(-3) with FWHM similar or equal to 0.2 a.

Significant progress has been obtained by achieving long duration discharges using lower hybrid (LH) waves: (i) 2 min in the 4 T improved confinement LHEP (LH enhanced performance) regime, H-RLW = W-e/W-e-RLW = 1.6 at a current I-p = 0.8 MA, loop voltage V-1 approximate to 0.1 V, LH power P-lh = 2.5 MW (W-e, W-e-RLW are the electron energy content and Rebut-Lallia-Watkins L-mode prediction), (ii) 75 s long in a fully non-inductive LHEP regime (H-RLW = 1.4, V-1 = 0 V, I-p approximate to 0.62 MA, P-lh approximate to 3.0 MW) using a new plasma control scheme, (iii) 30 s at 1.7 MA (V-1 approximate to 0.25 V, P-lh = 2.5 MW) in the L-mode regime. MHD stability in full current drive operation and the role of weak-or reversed-central magnetic shear in the central LHEP electron temperature transition (reproduced in full current drive in a systematic manner and measured by independent electron temperature diagnostics) are discussed. Stationary high-beta(p) experiments were performed with fast-wave direct electron heating (FWEH) in a large range of operation: 42-76 MHz and B-t = 2-3.9 T. Maximum coupled power of 9.5 MW is obtained in the 48 MHz/2T configuration with good electron heating performance and improved confinement at high density (central density of approximate to 6 x 10(19) m(-3)). By increasing the magnetic shear in the gradient region, stationary improved confinement states (6 MW during 5 s, H-RLW approximate to 2.2) are reached in a reproducible manner with poloidal beta, beta(p), approaching 1 and 40% of bootstrap current. The high-bootstrap FWEH experiments have been recently combined with LHCD at reduced loop-voltage (less than or equal to 0.1 V and up to 70% of non-inductive current). A total injected power up to 7.2 MW (LH: 3.6 MW, FW: 3.6 MW) has produced stationary improved confinement with a peaked electron temperature profile (central value up to 8.0 keV) at a central density of 3.9 x 10(19) m(-3).

Histological examination of adrenal gland specimens obtained at necropsy revealed marked adrenal cortical atrophy in all cases. Autoradiographs showed only slight alpha-particle activity. Although the pathogenesis of adrenal cortical atrophy in these dogs is unclear, there is evidence to suggest an autoimmune disorder linked to damage resulting from alpha-particle irradiation to the lymphatic system.

Three candidates are central command, a reflex arising from contracting skeletal muscle, and the Hering-Breuer reflex. Activation of the latter two mechanisms has been shown to dilate the airways. In contrast, the role played by central command in the control of airway caliber is not known. We, therefore, tested the hypothesis that stimulation of the mesencephalic locomotor region (MLR) in paralyzed decerebrate cats decreased total lung resistance (TLR). Electrical stimulation (20-80 mu A) of the MLR increased TLR from 28.2 +/- 1.9 to 38.1 +/- 2.4 cmH(2)O L(-1) sec(-1) (24 sites in 19 cats; p < 0.001). Similarly, microinjection of picrotoxin, a GABA antagonist, (8 mM, 10-400 nl) increased TLR from 26.1 +/- 3.3 to 36.3 +/- 5.4 cmH(2)O L(-1) sec(-1) (9 sites in 9 cats; p < 0.02). All of the changes evoked by electrical and chemical stimulation of the MLR were accompanied by increases in arterial pressure, heart rate, and ventral root motoneuron discharge. In contrast, electrical stimulation of the tibial nerve at intensities that recruited C-fibers reflexly decreased TLR (12 cats; p < 0.001). Our findings provide little evidence for the central command signal originating from the MLR in causing the airway dilation evoked by exercise.

The SQUID is mounted on the upper end of a sapphire rod, cooled to liquid nitrogen temperature, below a 75-mu m thick sapphire window. Samples can either be placed directly on the window or scanned over the SQUID to produce magnetic images. A square-washer SQUID with inner and outer dimensions of 30 and 50 mu m can resolve 130 mu m magnetic features. The instrument is intended primarily for biological applications.

In the multiplicative approach, the rat model parameters are multiplied by the ratio of the mean values between humans and rats. Additive scaling of the distributions is defined by adding the difference between the average human value and the average rat value to each rat value. Finally, allometric scaling relies on established extrapolation relationships using power functions of body weight. A physiologically-based pharmacokinetic model was fitted independently to rat and human benzene disposition data. Human model parameters obtained by extrapolation and by fitting were used to predict the total bone marrow exposure to benzene and the quantity of metabolites produced in bone marrow. We found that extrapolations poorly predict the human data relative to the human model. In addition, the prediction performance depends largely on the quantity of interest. The extrapolated models underpredict bone marrow exposure to benzene relative to the human model. Yet, predictions of the quantity of metabolite produced in bone marrow are closer to the human model predictions. These results indicate that the multiplicative and allometric techniques were able to extrapolate the model parameter distributions, but also that rats do not provide a good kinetic model of benzene disposition in humans.

We have developed methodology for mathematically combining stochastic and subjective sources of data uncertainty, based on new ''hybrid number'' approaches. The methodology can be utilized in conjunction with various traditional techniques, such as PRA (probabilistic risk assessment) and risk analysis decision support. Hybrid numbers have been previously examined as a potential method to represent combinations of stochastic and subjective information, but mathematical processing has been impeded by the requirements inherent in the structure of the numbers, e.g., there was no known way to multiply hybrids. In this paper, we will demonstrate methods for calculating with hybrid numbers that avoid the difficulties. By formulating a hybrid number as a probability distribution that is only fuzzily known, or alternatively as a random distribution of fuzzy numbers, methods are demonstrated for the full suite of arithmetic operations, permitting complex mathematical calculations. It will be shown how information about relative subjectivity (the ratio of subjective to stochastic knowledge about a particular datum) can be incorporated. Techniques are also developed for conveying uncertainty information visually, so that the stochastic and subjective components of the uncertainty, as well as the ratio of knowledge about the two, are readily apparent. The techniques demonstrated have the capability to process uncertainty information for independent, uncorrelated data, and for some types of dependent and correlated data. Example applications are suggested, illustrative problems are shown, and graphical results are given. C1 APPL BIOMATH,SETAUKET,NY 11733. SUNY STONY BROOK,STONY BROOK,NY 11794.

Phylogenetic and mutational analyses reveal that some viral forms are much more ancient than other forms. Episodic evolutionary events and zoonotic transmission may have contributed to the overall pattern. sequences Convergent evolution appears to be the best explanation for warranted. the scattered occurrence across the family tree of viruses with high oncogenic risk. We look for the determinants of this risk among the less conserved residues of the viral E6 and E7 transforming proteins. (C) 1997 Academic Press Ltd.

This could lead to shifts in the size and composition of the soil microbial communities. In this study we investigated the response of heterotrophic bacteria, NH4+-oxidising bacteria, and Rhizobium leguminosarum by. trifolii populations to elevated atmospheric CO2 concentrations in a model field-scale grassland ecosystem. The Free Air CO2 Enrichment (FACE) facility in Eschikon, Switzerland, releases CO2-enriched air into three large circular areas, each of 18 m dia, to a final CO2 concentration of 600 mu mol mol(-1), while three control areas of the same size receive ambient CO2 concentrations (similar to 350 mu mol mol(-1)). For this study, white clover (Trifolium repens L.) and perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) were grown as replicated monocultures within the FACE rings. Soil samples were taken from 0-10 cm depth in May and November 1994 (the second year of CO2-enrichment), and rhizosphere soil was obtained from clover and ryegrass roots for enumeration of bacteria. While the total numbers of culturable heterotrophic bacteria (determined by plate counts) in the rhizospheres of both plant species were little affected by CO2-enrichment, the populations of R. leguminosarum by. trifolii (enumerated by MPN) were increased two-fold in the rhizospheres of white clover exposed to elevated atmospheric CO2. There was no effect of the CO2 concentration on the populations of R. leguminosarum by. trifolii in the rhizospheres of perennial ryegrass, indicating that the increase of Rhizobium numbers is a host-related response to elevated atmospheric CO2. The numbers of autotrophic NH4+-oxidizing bacteria in the rhizospheres (enumerated by MPN) were unaffected by the atmospheric CO2 concentration. There was also no effect of the CO2 concentration on the amount of microbial biomass C in the bulk, non-rhizosphere soils in white clover or perennial ryegrass plots. These data indicate that under a legume crop, at least in terms of inoculum quality in the rhizosphere soil, symbiotic nitrogen-fixing organisms might be favoured by elevated atmospheric CO2 concentrations.

Intact, healthy mammary tissues and tumor tissues, quickly frozen at -78 degrees C after excision, were examined, as were normal epithelial cells and tumor cells extracted from these tissues. The experiments were performed at -100 degrees C and -40 degrees C. The solid-state C-13 NMR spectrum of the healthy tissue is dominated by the triacylglycerols present in the adipose tissue. The solid-state spectra of the other compounds differ significantly from the spectrum of the healthy tissue, and are dominated by the phospholipids and the large molecular weight proteins, for a major part present in the membranes. The spectra of the tumor tissues and the tumor cells were very similar, in accordance with the fact that the tumor tissues consisted of 80-90% tumor cells. The spectrum of the normal cells shows the same general features as those of the tumor tissue and tumor cells, but also exhibits some significant differences. The main difference at -100 degrees C is that, in the tumor samples, the relative intensity of the resonance line arising at 30 ppm, which is due to methylene chains, is reduced. At -40 degrees C this intensity is futher reduced in the tumor samples, whereas the spectrum of the normal cells remains unaltered. It is tentatively concluded that the spectral differences between the normal and the malignant cells are due to changes in mobilities occurring in the cells after tumorigenesis, and that compared with normal epithelial cells the tumor cells contain an increased amount of mobile methylene chains. These differences virtually disappear if the samples are preserved at temperatures equal to or above 4 degrees C, emphasizing the importance of sample preservation at low temperatures, and hence of the solid-state NMR approach to investigate structures and dynamics in cells before and after tumor formation.

In this study, TiC coatings were deposited on graphite substrates. Vacuum plasma spraying was used to maximize the density of the as-sprayed coating and to prevent formation of undesirable phases. A Taguchi style, fractional-factorial L4 design of experiment was employed to evaluate the effect of three plasma processing variables on coating attributes. The gun parameters varied were current (680-720 A), argon primary gas flow (35-45 slpm), and hydrogen secondary gas flow (8-12 slpm). The resulting as-sprayed coating attributes evaluated were thickness, superficial hardness, microhardness, surface roughness, and porosity. The results of the study indicate particles, better powder deposition, and lower porosity for this particular vacuum plasma spray (VPS) application.

Coating durability was assessed by furnace cycling at 1150 degrees C. Coatings and reaction products were characterized by X-ray diffraction, field-emission scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy. No spallation of the ceramic top coatings occurred after up to 200 h isothermal exposure. Interfacial scales consisted of Al2O2 and Ni(Cr,Al)(2)O-4 spinels. Discrete bands of Al5Y3O12 oriented perpendicular to the bond coat surfaces were dispersed throughout the alumina scales. Coatings displayed average cyclic lifetimes of 355 1-h cycles. There were indications of interfacial scale delamination and subscale formation during thermal cycling. Results of the study are in agreement with previous findings. This work was the introductory phase of a larger study which will evaluate the oxidation behavior of electron beam-physical vapor deposition (EB-PVD) TBC systems.

New size formulations are required for this process because traditional size materials are not directly soluble in liquid carbon dioxide. Candidate size compounds are first tested for solubility, and those found to be soluble are then applied to polyester/cotton yarns using two methods: immersing the yam in a size-saturated carbon dioxide solution and drawing the yarn through a hot melt of the compound. The tensile strength and elastic modulus of the sized yarns are determined. Complete removal of the size compounds from the treated yarns by means of liquid carbon dioxide extraction is demonstrated.

The same genotypes were analyzed as in a previous study that had utilized RFLP markers. The phenetic tree based on AFLP data was consistent with known taxonomic relationships and similar to a tree developed with RFLP data, The genetic distance matrices derived from AFLP and RFLP data were compared using least squares regression analysis and, for the cultivar data, by principal component analysis, There was also a positive linear relationship between distance estimates based on AFLP data and kinship coefficients calculated from pedigree data. AFLPs represent reliable PCR-based markers for studies of genetic relationships at a variety of taxonomic levels. C1 LAWRENCE LIVERMORE NATL LAB,DEPT VEGETABLE CROPS,DAVIS,CA 95616.

We found intergenomic conserved regions but with extensive reordering among the genomes. Eighteen linkage groups from all three species could be associated on the basis of homologous segments based on at least three common markers. Intragenomic homologous conservation was also observed for some of the chromosomes of the A, B and C genomes. A possible chromosome phylogenetic pathway based on an ancestral genome of at least five, and no more than seven chromosomes, was drawn from the chromosomal inter-relationships observed. These results demonstrate that extensive duplication and rearrangement have been involved in the formation of the Brassica genomes from a smaller ancestral genome.

However, because field studies are based on finite study areas, nearly all dispersal distributions for vertebrates currently available are biased, often highly so. The inadequacy of dispersal data obtained directly by traditional methods using population studies of marked individuals is highlighted by comparing the resulting distributions with dispersal estimates obtained by radio-tracking and by using genetic estimates of gene flow.

The coefficients of the matrix pore pressure and fracture pore pressure in their equation for the effective stress are shown to be identical to those which can be obtained from the constitutive equation approach of Berryman and Wang [1995]. Representative values for a fractured Berea sandstone show that a change in pore pressure within matrix blocks produces about 10% of the volume change resulting from an equal but opposite change in confining pressure, whereas the same change in pore pressure within fractures is about 90% as effective. A similar result is true for Westerly granite. C1 LAWRENCE LIVERMORE NATL LAB,LIVERMORE,CA. RP Wang, HF (reprint author), UNIV WISCONSIN,DEPT GEOL & GEOPHYS,1215 W DAYTON ST,MADISON,WI 53706, USA.

Four of the bands show smoothly decreasing dynamic moments of inertia at rotational frequencies HBAR omega > 0.6 MeV. The bands arise at medium spins from a coupling of a valence d(5/2), g(7/2) or h(11/2) neutron to the deformed 2p2h proton excitation of the Z=50 core Sn-108. At very high HBAR omega these bands show the typical behaviour of smoothly terminating bands, i.e. a gradual alignment of the angular momenta of the valence particles and holes corresponding to a transition from high collectivity to noncollective states.

Two gamma-ray transitions with energies 1472 and 497 keV following the decay of the seniority 6(+) isomer with t(1/2) = 1.0(5) mu s were unambiguously assigned to Sn-102. Due to the very low cross section of about 2 mu b for producing Sn-102 in the reaction Cr-50(Ni-58,1 alpha 2n), a highly selective detector setup utilizing NORDBALL ancillary detectors and a recoil catcher device was used. High gamma-ray detection efficiency was achieved with two EUROBALL Ge cluster detectors. C1 UNIV UPPSALA,DEPT RADIAT SCI,S-75121 UPPSALA,SWEDEN. JOZEF STEFAN INST,LJUBLJANA,SLOVENIA.

X-ray diffraction, Am L(3)-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy, and magnetic susceptibility data were used to characterize the sample. This actinide analog has a structure similar to the other members of the series, but it could not be made superconducting. Am L(3)-edge X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) are used to show that Am is tetravalent in Pb2Sr2(Am/Ca)CU3O8, a finding supported by the susceptibility data. The absence of superconductivity in this Am analog of the Pb-based system is discussed in terms of the presence of a tetravalent R-ion and the resulting charge compensation.

hadronic Z decays SO ZEITSCHRIFT FUR PHYSIK C-PARTICLES AND FIELDS LA English DT Article ID MESON; VECTOR; GEV/C AB The inclusive production of the neutral vector mesons K-*0(892) and phi(1020), and of the tensor meson K-2(*0)(1430), in hadronic decays of the Z has been mea sured by the DELPHI detector at LEP. The average production rates per hadronic Z decay have been determined to be 0.77 +/- 0.08 K-2(*0)(892), 0.104 +/- 0.008 phi(1020) and 0.079 +/- 0.040 K-2(*0)(1430). The ratio of the tensor-to-vector meson production yields, [K-2(*0)(1430)]/[K-*0(892)] = 0.10 +/- 0.05, is smaller than the [f(2)(1270)]/[rho(0)(770)] and [f'(2)(1525)]/[phi(1020)] ratios measured by DELPHI. The production rates and differential cross sections are compared with the predictions of JETSET 7.4 tuned to the DELPHI data and of HERWIG 5.8. The K-*0(892) and phi(1020) data are compatible with model predictions, but a large disagreement is observed for the K-2(*0)(1430). C1 IOWA STATE UNIV,AMES LAB,AMES,IA 50011.
