Image processing of small protein-crystals in electron microscopy

Description: This electron microscope study was undertaken to determine whether high resolution reconstructed images could be obtained from statistically noisy micrographs by the super-position of several small areas of images of well-ordered crystals of biological macromolecules. Methods of rotational and translational alignment which use Fourier space data were demonstrated to be superior to methods which use Real space image data. After alignment, the addition of the diffraction patterns of four small ar… more

Alfven wave. [Book on linear and nonlinear properties for fusion applications]

Description: Seven chapters are included. Chapters 1 and 2 introduce the Alfven wave and describe its linear properties in a homogeneous medium. Chapters 3 and 4 cover the effects of inhomogeneities on these linear properties. Particular emphasis is placed on the appearance of a continuum spectrum and the associated absorption of the Alfven wave which arise due to the inhomogeneity. The explanation of the physical origin of absorption is given using kinetic theory. Chapter 5 is devoted to the associated pla… more

Underwater-cable power-transmission system: bottom segment design

Description: After a survey of the state of the art for bottom cables, some possible configurations are considered for candidate OTEC sites. General considerations on laying and embedding are discussed, and solutions are considered. Optimization of cable dimensions and the problem of flexible joints are covered. The state of the art of cable installation and repair is reviewed and discussed with reference to the representative OTEC sites. Costs for shore terminal stations are evaluated. (LEW)

Measurement of polyethylene pipe parameters during an ocean deployment. Final report

Description: Data were acquired on the behavior of the polyethylene upwelling pipe for the GRI/DOE Marine Biomass Biological Test Farm during several phases of pipe assembly and ocean towing and deployment. The pipe is nominally 28 in O.D., 1400 feet long with wall thicknesses of 0.9 and 1.75 inches. The entire effort was conducted over a period of six weeks and was implemented on a strictly non-interference basis with the main Biomass Program. Three types of data were acquired during shore and ocean based … more

Second Mechanized In-Service Inspection of EBR-2 Steam Generator

Description: The second mechanized ultrasonic inspection of evaporation EV-702, part of the EBR-II steam-generator system, was completed in March 1978. The 2 1/2 Cr-1 Mo duplex tubes were inspected from the bore (water) side for flaws and changes in wall thickness and for evaluating the condition of the braze between the tubes. An addition to this second inspection was the use of an ultrasonic probe to search for circumferential flaws. The inspection equipment was thoroughly checked and routinely calibrated… more

Fluctuation Analysis of Fast Reactor Safety Experiments in TREAT

Description: Statistical fluctuations of measured signals about their mean are related to physical processes in fuel-failure experiments. Signal variance, correlation, and spectral density are shown to be sensitive measures to instrument response characteristics, of flow-blockage formation, and of boiling phenomena. This sensitivity is demonstrated by a series of examples that use test data from the E6, E7, and L5 experiments. A mathematical model of the Mark-II loop is developed to predict both the mean an… more

Elongation upon torsion in a theory for the inelastic behavior of metals

Description: The torsion of a thin-walled cylinder is studied using the low temperature or visco-plastic limit of Hart's state variable theory for the inelastic behavior of metals. For values of the shear stress lower than the hardness of the material, reversible elongation is found to accompany the recoverable twist. For shear stress exceeding the hardness, there are, in addition, a permanent twist and elongation. These predictions agree qualitatively with existing experiments. Detailed quantitative result… more

Program to develop analytical tools for environmental and safety assessment of nuclear material shipping container systems

Description: This paper describes a program for developing analytical techniques to evaluate the response of nuclear material shipping containers to severe accidents. Both lumped-mass and finite element techniques are employed to predict shipping container and shipping container-carrier response to impact. The general impact problem is computationally expensive because of its nonlinear, three-dimensional nature. This expense is minimized by using approximate models to parametrically identify critical cases … more
