Mode Identification in the Iris-Loaded Waveguide of a RF Particle Separator

Description: The theoretical and practical aspects of the accelerating mode (TM01) in iris-loaded waveguides have been covered extensively in many reports and publications. The pulse shortening observed in linacs and the possible application of an iris-loaded waveguides as the deflecting structure for rf particle separators stimulated the interest in the nature of higher order modes. Some experimental results on higher order modes in iris-loaded waveguides are available in references. Results of studies don… more

In-Situ TEM Observations of Interface Sliding and Migration in a Refined Lamellar TiAl Alloy

Description: The stability of lamellar interfaces in lamellar TiAl by straining at ambient temperatures has been investigated using in-situ straining techniques performed in a transmission electron microscope in order to obtain direct evidence to support the previously proposed creep mechanisms in refined lamellar TiAl based upon the interface sliding in association with the cooperative motion of interfacial dislocations. The results have revealed that both sliding and migration of lamellar interfaces can t… more

Architecture and High-Resolution Structure of Bacillus thuringiensis and Bacillus cereus Spore Coat Surfaces

Description: We have utilized atomic force microscopy (AFM) to visualize the native surface topology and ultrastructure of Bacillus thuringiensis and Bacillus cereus spores in water and in air. AFM was able to resolve the nanostructure of the exosporium and three distinctive classes of appendages. Removal of the exosporium exposed either a hexagonal honeycomb layer (B. thuringiensis) or a rodlet outer spore coat layer (B. cereus). Removal of the rodlet structure from B. cereus spores revealed an underlying … more

Phase Sensitive Cueing for 3D Objects in Overhead Images

Description: A 3D solid model-aided object cueing method that matches phase angles of directional derivative vectors at image pixels to phase angles of vectors normal to projected model edges is described. It is intended for finding specific types of objects at arbitrary position and orientation in overhead images, independent of spatial resolution, obliqueness, acquisition conditions, and type of imaging sensor. It is shown that the phase similarity measure can be efficiently evaluated over all combination… more

Interdiffusion in Ni/CrMo Composition-Modulated Films

Description: The measurement of diffusivity at low temperature in the Ni-CrMo alloy system, relative to the melt point, is accomplished through the use of a composition-modulated structure. The composition-modulated structure consists of numerous pairs of alternating Ni and Cr-Mo layers that are each just a few nanometers thick. A direct assessment of alloy stability is made possible through measurement of the atomic diffusion between these layers that occurs during anneal treatments. X ray diffraction unde… more

Biomolecular Patterning via Photocatalytic Lithography

Description: We have developed a novel method for patterning surface chemistry: Photocatalytic Lithography. This technique relies on inexpensive stamp materials and light; it does not necessitate mass transport or specified substrates, and the wavelength of light should not limit feature resolution. We have demonstrated the utility of this technique through the patterning of proteins, single cells and bacteria.

The Case for Hydrogen in a Carbon Constrained World

Description: Unlike other fuels, hydrogen (H{sub 2}) can be generated and consumed without generating carbon dioxide (CO{sub 2}). This creates both significant engineering challenges and unsurpassed ecological advantages for H{sub 2} as a fuel, while enabling an inexhaustible (closed) global fuel cycle based on the cleanest, most abundant, natural, and elementary substances: H{sub 2}, O{sub 2}, and H{sub 2}O. If generated using light, heat, and/or electrical energy from solar, wind, fission, or (future) fus… more

Accelerated Carbonate Dissolution as a CO2 Separation and Sequestration Strategy

Description: We have proposed a technique that could reduce CO{sub 2} emissions from near coastal fossil-fuel power plants using existing power plant cooling water flow rates (Rau and Caldeira, 1999; Caldeira and Rau, 2000). Preliminary cost estimates are as low as $68 per tonne C sequestered, as compared to > $170 per tonne C estimated for other approaches to CO{sub 2} separation with geologic or deep-ocean storage. Engineers at McDermott Technologies, Inc., have independently estimated the cost of our … more

Hydrogen vapor pressures from 4 to 30 K: a review. [67 references]

Description: The following properties for the hydrogens from 4 to 30/sup 0/K are reviewed: liquid-gas and solid-gas vapor pressures, triple-point values, virial coefficients, liquid and solid densities, and heats of transformation. We have correlated these properties with as much consistency as the data allow. Empirical equations are given for virial coefficients and densities. Clausius-Clapeyron equations relate vapor pressure and temperature with the other properties. Data are frequently available with H/… more
