Relationship between repair processes and mutation induction in bacteria. [UV radiation; methyl methanesulfonate; N-methyl-N/sup 1/-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine; N-methyl-N-nitrosourea; N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea; ethyl methanesulfanate; N-ethyl-nitrosoguanidine; 4-nitroquinoline 1-oxide]

Description: The main repair and replication-associated processes that can influence the induction of mutations by various mutagens in bacteria are reviewed. These include both constitutive and induced, error-free and error-prone systems. The mutation yield from a treatment with a mutagen can be markedly affected by which of these systems is operating in a given bacterial species or strain. The effect of these systems on mutation induction by ultraviolet light, monofunctional alkylating agents, base analogu… more

MObIUS (Massive Object Integrated Universal Store): A Survey Toward a More General Framework

Description: General frameworks for distributed computing are slowly evolving out of Grid, Peer Architecture, and Web Services. The following results from a summer long survey into distributing computing practices have revealed three things. One, that Legion and Cactus-G have achieved the most in terms of providing an all-purpose application environment. Two, that extending a local programming environment to operate in a highly distributed fashion can be facilitated with toolkits like Globus. Three, that bu… more

High Spectral Resolution Infrared and Raman Lidar Observations for the ARM Program: Clear and Cloudy Sky Applications

Description: This grant began with the development of the Atmospheric Emitted Radiance Interferometer (AERI) for ARM. The AERI has provided highly accurate and reliable observations of downwelling spectral radiance (Knuteson et al. 2004a, 2004b) for application to radiative transfer, remote sensing of boundary layer temperature and water vapor, and cloud characterization. One of the major contributions of the ARM program has been its success in improving radiation calculation capabilities for models and rem… more

Results of the Simulation of the HTR-Proteus Core 4.2 Using PEBBED-COMBINE: FY10 Report

Description: ABSTRACT The Idaho National Laboratory’s deterministic neutronics analysis codes and methods were applied to the computation of the core multiplication factor of the HTR-Proteus pebble bed reactor critical facility. This report is a follow-on to INL/EXT-09-16620 in which the same calculation was performed but using earlier versions of the codes and less developed methods. In that report, results indicated that the cross sections generated using COMBINE-7.0 did not yield satisfactory estimates o… more

HTR-PROTEUS PEBBLE BED EXPERIMENTAL PROGRAM CORES 9 & 10: COLUMNAR HEXAGONAL POINT-ON-POINT PACKING WITH A 1:1 MODERATOR-TO-FUEL PEBBLE RATIO

Description: PROTEUS is a zero-power research reactor based on a cylindrical graphite annulus with a central cylindrical cavity. The graphite annulus remains basically the same for all experimental programs, but the contents of the central cavity are changed according to the type of reactor being investigated. Through most of its service history, PROTEUS has represented light-water reactors, but from 1992 to 1996 PROTEUS was configured as a pebble-bed reactor (PBR) critical facility and designated as HTR-PR… more
