Bayesian Spectroscopy and Target Tracking

Description: Statistical analysis gives a paradigm for detection and tracking of weak-signature sources that are moving among a network of detectors. The detector platforms compute and exchange information with near-neighbors in the form of Bayesian probabilities for possible sources. This can shown to be an optimal scheme for the use of detector information and communication resources. Here, we apply that paradigm to the detection and discrimination of radiation sources using multi-channel gamma-ray spectr… more

URC Fuzzy Modeling and Simulation of Gene Regulation

Description: Recent technological advances in high-throughput data collection give biologists the ability to study increasingly complex systems. A new methodology is needed to develop and test biological models based on experimental observations and predict the effect of perturbations of the network (e.g. genetic engineering, pharmaceuticals, gene therapy). Diverse modeling approaches have been proposed, in two general categories: modeling a biological pathway as (a) a logical circuit or (b) a chemical reac… more

Boundary Conditions for Dislocation Dynamics Simulations and Stage 0 of BCC Metals at Low Temperature

Description: In order to study the dislocation density evolution of body centered cubic (bcc) crystals at low temperature by dislocation dynamics (DD) simulations, we investigated carefully three different boundary conditions (BC) for DD, i.e., the quasi-free surface BC, the flux-balanced BC, and the periodic BC. The latter two BCs can account for the dislocation loss from the boundary of the finite simulation box. PBC can also eliminate the influence of surfaces and improve the line connectivity. We have f… more

Parallel Object-Oriented Framework Optimization

Description: Object-oriented libraries arise naturally from the increasing complexity of developing related scientific applications. The optimization of the use of libraries within scientific applications is one of many high-performance optimization, and is the subject of this paper. This type of optimization can have significant potential because it can either reduce the overhead of calls to a library, specialize the library calls given the context of their use within the application, or use the semantics … more

Void Swelling as a Stochastic, Evolutionary Process

Description: Past theories of radiation swelling have mostly dealt with the effect of void growth on the steady-state rather than of void nucleation on the incubation of swelling. However, new analysis indicates that incubation and its dependence on dose rate, impurity concentrations. and temperature dramatically influences the cumulative experimental swelling. We present rate theory calculations of this void nucleation and growth that include the time-dependent coupling and evolution of point defect concen… more

An Assessment of the Current Day Impact of Various Materials Associated with the U.S. Nuclear Test Program in the Marshall Island

Description: Different stable elements, and some natural and man-made radionuclides, were used as tracers or associated in other ways with nuclear devices that were detonated at Bikini and Enewetak Atolls as part of the U.S. nuclear testing program from 1946 through 1958. The question has been raised whether any of these materials dispersed by the explosions could be of sufficient concentration in either the marine environment or on the coral islands to be of a health concern to people living, or planning t… more

Modeling the use of Self-Focused Beams to Overcome the Effects of Target Emissions in Advanced Hydrodynamic Radiography Machines

Description: In the machines being developed for advanced hydrodynamic radiography, an electron beam of several kA current and 20 Mev particle energy is focused to less than a millimeter diameter onto a high atomic number target to produce bremstrahlung X-rays. Several pulses occur during a period of about 2 {micro}s. A plasma plume is predicted to move upstream from the target . If the final focus onto the target is in vacuum, then the plasma from an early pulse may neutralize the self-electric field of a … more
