100 Area Process Water Pressure Decay Test Program: Part 1

Description: The increase in process tube outlet water temperature to 90{degree}C resulted in increased emergency water flow requirements as indicated by recently approved curves which establish minimum crossheader pressure requirements for the first three minutes following an electrical power failure. To determine whether 190 Building secondary process water pump capacities are adequate for current minimum reactor water pressure requirements, process water pump trip-cut tests are being conducted at all rea… more

Activated type I TGFbeta receptor (Alk5) kinase confers enhancedsurvival to mammary epithelial cells and accelerates mammary tumorprogression

Description: The transforming growth factor-betas (TGF{beta}s) are members of a large superfamily of pleiotropic cytokines that also includes the activins and the bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs). Members of the TGF{beta} family regulate complex physiological processes such cell proliferation, differentiation, adhesion, cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions, motility, and cell death, among others (Massague, 1998). Dysregulation of TGF{beta} signaling contributes to several pathological processes includin… more

Analytical qualification of system identification (modal analysis) codes for use in the dynamic testing of nuclear power plant structures

Description: The analytical evaluation of two particular system identification codes used at Lawrence Livermore Laboratory is presented. Both codes are eigenparameter identification codes; however, one uses a time domain approach while the other a frequency domain approach. The evaluation was accomplished by analytically generating several time history signals in which the true modal parameters were known. These time histories ranged from widely spaced modes with spacing factors of 100 percent to closely sp… more

Application of Developed APCVD Transparent Conducting Oxides and Undercoat Technologies for Economical OLED Lighting

Description: Economics is a key factor for application of organic light emitting diodes (OLED) in general lighting relative to OLED flat panel displays that can handle high cost materials such as indium tin oxide (ITO) or Indium zinc oxide (IZO) as the transparent conducting oxide (TCO) on display glass. However, for OLED lighting to penetrate into general illumination, economics and sustainable materials are critical. The issues with ITO have been documented at the DOE SSL R&D and Manufacturing worksho… more

Biomass to Gasoline and DIesel Using Integrated Hydropyrolysis and Hydroconversion

Description: Cellulosic and woody biomass can be directly converted to hydrocarbon gasoline and diesel blending components through the use of integrated hydropyrolysis plus hydroconversion (IH2). The IH2 gasoline and diesel blending components are fully compatible with petroleum based gasoline and diesel, contain less than 1% oxygen and have less than 1 total acid number (TAN). The IH2 gasoline is high quality and very close to a drop in fuel. The DOE funding enabled rapid development of the IH2 technology … more

Calculations of the surface heat flux and fuel temperatures for PRTR MK-I PuO{sub 2}-UO{sub 2} fuel element with segregated PuO{sub 2}

Description: The methods used to fabricate the present loading of PuO{sub 2}-UO{sub 2} fuel elements for the Plutonium Recycle Test Reactor have resulted in alternating bands of high and low PuO{sub 2} concentration along each rod of the 19-rod elements. These bands are repeated every 1/2 or 1 inch along the length of the rod, depending on whether the loading of the oxides was done in 160 or 80 increments. This non-uniform distribution of PuO{sub 2} results in alternate regions of high and low heat generati… more
