"Mending the Gaps"

Description: Mending the Gaps examines the failures and deficits that have occurred in education both historically and today. These gaps that already existed in learning, equality, opportunity, and technology have all been made worse after two years of a global pandemic. Focusing on students in the state of Texas, which has the 2nd largest economy in the United States, but currently ranks 34th in quality of education, now students face the reality of the COVID 19 health crisis in an already overburdened pub… more

The response of ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) to selection cutting in a South Carolina bottomland hardwood forest.

Description: We compared the response of ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) to the creation of canopy gaps of different size (0.13, 0.26, and 0.50 ha) and age (1 and 7 years) in a bottomland hardwood forest (South Carolina, USA). Samples were collected four times in 2001 by malaise and pitfall traps placed at the center and edge of each gap, and 50 m into the surrounding forest. Species richness was higher at the center of young gaps than in old gaps or in the forest, but there was no statistical differ… more

Leadership Practices for Effective Equitable Learning Environments: A Case Study of Opportunity Gaps in a Rural District

Description: In rural, low socioeconomic public schools, the diversity of the student population challenges teachers beyond their means to meet the wide-ranging needs of students, and therefore creating opportunity gaps. The purpose of this study was to explore one district's leadership support of teachers to create an equitable learning environment for all students. The present study built on existing literature by discovering leadership practices and perceived necessary supports for closing achievement ga… more

Some Studies on the Aerodynamic Effect of the Gap Between Airplane Wings and Fuselages

Description: "The general result indicated by this study is that if desirable from any viewpoint the gap between wing and fuselage may be closed without detrimental aerodynamic effects, and with a given monoplane there is less drag if the wing is directly on top of the fuselage than if it is parasol" (p. 1).

Experimental investigation of some aerodynamic effects of a gap between wing and body of a moderately slender wing-body combination at a Mach number of 1.4

Description: Report presenting an investigation of the effects of streamwise gaps between wing and body on the lift and pitching moments of a moderately slender wing-body combination at Mach number 1.4 and compared with available theoretical results. The investigation included tests in which the angle of attack is varied with the all-movable wing at zero deflection and also tests at which the angle of wing deflection is varied with the body at zero angle of attack.

The Subsidiary Gap as a Means for Improving Ignition

Description: This report presents the results of an investigation into the utility, action, and design of the auxiliary spark gap as a means for insuring freedom from spark plug failure due to fouling, and also to enable the restarting of fouled plugs. A brief account is given of the use of this gap up to the present time and also of the statements concerning it which have gained some currency, most of which are shown to be erroneous. The simple theory of the action of the series gap is discussed and a deta… more

Gap Assessment in the Emergency Response Community

Description: This report describes a gap analysis of the emergency response and management (EM) community, performed during the fall of 2009. Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) undertook this effort to identify potential improvements to the functional domains in EM that could be provided by the application of current or future technology. To perform this domain-based gap analysis, PNNL personnel interviewed subject matter experts (SMEs) across the EM domain; to make certain that the analyses refle… more

Avian response to microclimate in canopy gaps in a bottomland hardwood forest.

Description: Abstract - Microclimate may infl uence use of early successional habitat by birds. We assessed the relationships between avian habitat use and microclimate (temperature, light intensity, and relative humidity) in experimentally created canopy gaps in a bottomland hardwood forest on the Savannah River Site, SC. Gaps were 2- to 3-year-old group-selection timber harvest openings of three sizes (0.13, 0.26, 0.50 ha). Our study was conducted from spring through fall, encompassing four bird-use perio… more

The Effect of a Gap Between Elevator and Stabilizer on the Static Stability and Maneuverability About the Lateral Axis in Flight

Description: "A number of German airplanes have a gap between elevator and stabilizer. The effect of this open space is not generally known, although English wind-tunnel experiments have shown that even a very small gap exerts a profound influence on the elevator action. The purpose of the present free-flight measurements is to ascertain whether fairing over the gap would actually result in an appreciable improvement" (p. 1).

Object-Oriented Canopy Gap Extraction from UAV Images Based on Edge Enhancement

Description: Article describes the efficient and accurate identification of canopy gaps is the basis of forest ecosystem research, which is of great significance to further forest monitoring and management. One major limitation of the traditional methods of remote sensing to map canopy gaps is that they cannot finely extract the complex edges of canopy gaps in mountainous areas. The authors proposed an object-oriented classification method that integrates multi-source information.

A SPARK-GAP TRIGGER SYSTEM

Description: The construction and operation of a trigger system designed to fire a 30-kV 5000 A spark gap with a minimum delay following the arrival of a small signal pulse is described. In this particular experiment a 150-MeV/c muon is detected with scintillators on three 6199 phototubes, and the output pulse of the attached tunnel-diode triple-coincidence circuit is amplified and used to trigger the gap. Approximately 32 nanoseconds are needed from passage of the muon to the coincidence output, and approx… more

The Cosmotron Radio Frequency Accelerating System

Description: The proton beam in the Cosmotron is accelerated to an energy of 2.3 billion electron volts by a radio frequency voltage which is impressed across an insulated gap in the ferrite loaded accelerating cavity of the vacuum chamber. To maintain a constant orbit radius as the beam is accelerated, the frequency of the accelerating voltage must increase from the initial value of 370 kc/sec to 4200 kc/sec during the one second magnet pulse. Over the entire 11:1 frequency range, a minimum gap voltage of … more

Low-profile high-voltage compact gas switch

Description: This paper discusses the development and testing of a low-profile, high-voltage, spark-gap switch designed to be closely coupled with other components into an integrated high-energy pulsed-power source. The switch is designed to operate at 100 kV using SF6 gas pressurized to less than 0.7 MPa. The volume of the switch cavity region is less than 1.5 cm3, and the field stress along the gas-dielectric interface is as high as 130 kV/cm. The dielectric switch body has a low profile that is only I -c… more

SPARK-GAP-TRIGGER AMPLIFIER

Description: Short over-all time delay, low time jitter, and excellent long-term reliability are among the desirable features designed into a pulse generator that produces a 2-MW output pulse 30 nsec after the application of a 1-V signal at its 50-ohm input connector. The 10-kV output pulse can be used to trigger simultaneously several spark gaps of the type used in spark-chamber pulse modulators. The 10{sup 8} power gain of the spark-gap-trigger amplifier is achieved by four stages of amplification package… more

Ignitability of DMSO vapors at elevated temperature and reduced pressure

Description: Ignitability of DMSO vapors have been evaluated at 664 mm Hg pressure. The minimum temperature at which the DMSO vapors that are in equilibrium with liquid DMSO has been determined using two types of strong ignition sources. This temperature is 172 F for chemical igniters, and 178 F for spark ignition. Numerous tests have been conducted using controlled intensity sparks to define the shape of the minimum ignition energy curve as a function of temperature. The ignition energies spanned four orde… more
