[Thunderbird Jet in Flight]

Description: Photograph of a fighter plane pitched upward in flight, viewed from the side, with mountains in the background and clouds above. There are stripes on the nose, "United States Air Force" is written on the body of the plane, and the tail livery has red scallops along the front edge and the Thunderbird logo surrounded by stars.

[Six Fighter Planes in Flight]

Description: Photograph of six identical fighter planes flying in formation above snow-dusted mountains. The jets have "United States Air Force" written across the main part of the body and they have livery on the tails that includes scalloped red around the front edge and a Thunderbird logo surrounded by stars.

Geothermal systems of the Mono Basin-Long Valley region, eastern California and western Nevada

Description: The region that includes Mono Basin, Long Valley, the Bridgeport-Bodie Hills area, and Aurora, in eastern California and western Nevada was studied to determine the possible causes and interactions of the geothermal anomalies in the Mono Basin-Long Valley region as a whole. A special goal of the study was to locate possible shallow bodies of magma and to determine their influence on the hydrothermal systems in the region. (ACR)

Micelle-derived catalysts for extended Schulz-Flory

Description: Our objective is to develop a catalyst for making gasoline or diesel range fuel selectively from synthesis gas. Our catalyst development approach is to provide a cut-off for the higher end of the hydrocarbon distribution by limiting the size of the active metal particle. We are using a micelle technique for preparing specific size ruthenium particles supported on [gamma]-alumina. Hydrocarbon cut-off was not observed with 40--60 [Angstrom] ruthenium particles on [gamma]-alumina. We could not det… more

Research and development of new ultraphosphate laser glasses

Description: Requirements for Zeus laser glass and HAP laser glass were small {sigma}, low water, low concentration quenching and high mechanical and thermal strength in the former and high {sigma}, low water, low concentration quenching and high mechanical, thermal shock resistance in the later. In order to get a high mechanical and thermal shock resistance, we introduced SiO{sub 2} into phosphate glass, because SiO{sub 2} gives a low expansion coefficient. In this report, we discuss the research and devel… more

Nuclear Data for Basic and Applied Science, Vol. 1

Description: We have performed the coincidence experiments (..cap alpha..,..cap alpha..'f) and (..cap alpha..,..cap alpha..'nf) on /sup 238/U for a beam energy E/sub ..cap alpha../ = 120 MeV and for ..cap alpha..-scattering angles theta/sub ..cap alpha..'/ = 9/sup 0/, 15/sup 0/, and 17/sup 0/. The 9/sup 0/ and 17/sup 0/ data correspond to maxima in the angular distribution for the isoscalar giant quadrupole resonance, whereas the 15/sup 0/ data lie close to a minimum. Using a set of fission counters which c… more

Sources for proportional tube gain variation: What to do about it

Description: In the high-energy domain systematic uncertainties become a substantial fraction of attainable energy resolution of a proportional tube electromagnetic calorimeter. Sources of nonuniformity and fluctuation of calorimeter response are discussed and test data on the magnitude of the effects are presented. Possible ways of maintaining these effects under control are discussed and test data are discussed which demonstrated that such effects could in fact be monitored and corrected to less than 1%.

Deep observation and sampling of the earth's continental crust (DOSECC). Final report

Description: The need to validate and refine concepts regarding the structure, properties, and dynamic processes of the earth's continental crust through the use of the drill was the subject of the workshop sponsored by DOSECC, Inc. and held April 29 through May 1, 1985 in Houston, Texas and attended by more than 145 scientists. Scientific objectives and targets for a program of research drilling as part of basic studies of the continental lithosphere were discussed, with over 30 scientific proposals presen… more

An Electroweak Enigma: Hyperon Radiative Decays

Description: The main thrust of this experiment will be to measure the asymmetry parameter for the electroweak decay {Sigma}{sup +} {yields} p{gamma} and verify its branching ratio. As a secondary goal they will measure, or set new upper limits for, the branching ratio of the electroweak decay {Xi}{sup -} {yields} {Sigma}{sup -}{gamma}. Since the {Xi}{sup -} are expected to be polarized, information on the asymmetry parameter may also be available.

Studies of aluminum in rat brain

Description: The effects of high aluminum concentrations in rat brains were studied using /sup 14/C autoradiography to measure the uptake of /sup 14/C 2-deoxy-D-glucose (/sup 14/C-2DG) and microbeam proton-induced x-ray emission (microPIXE) with a 20-..mu..m resolution to measure concentrations of magnesium, aluminum, potassium, and calcium. The aluminum was introduced intracisternally in the form of aluminum tartrate (Al-T) while control animals were given sodium tartrate (Na-T). The /sup 14/C was administ… more

Rapidly Solidified Ceramics: Processing, Structure, and Magnetic Properties

Description: Since its initiation in September 1984, work under this contract has progressed in two areas: construction of a gas atomizer for rapid solidification of ceramics; and characterization of rapidly solidified materials in the SrO-Fe{sub 2}O{sub 3}, BaO-Fe{sub 2}O{sub 3}, MnFe{sub 2}O{sub 4}-SiO{sub 2}, and CoFe{sub 2}O{sub 4}-SiO{sub 2} systems. This report summarize this work.

Passive Cooling With Solar Updraft and Evaporative Downdraft Chimneys. Interim Report, June 15, 1984--March 1, 1985

Description: Computer models have been developed to describe the operation of both solar updraft and evaporative downdraft chimneys. Design studies are being conducted at the present time to use the towers for cooling an experimental, well instrumented, structure to study passive cooling in residential buildings. (MHR)
