Review of the Drug Enforcement Administration's Heroin Signature and Domestic Monitor Programs

Description: Correspondence issued by the General Accounting Office with an abstract that begins "GAO examined the Drug Enforcement Administration's (DEA) Heroin Signature Program and Domestic Monitor Program to determine why there were apparent discrepancies in the 1999 statistical data generated by these two programs, particularly in the data on Southwest Asia heroin.

Department of Education: Key Aspects of the Federal Direct Loan Program's Cost Estimates

Description: A letter report issued by the General Accounting Office with an abstract that begins "The Department of Education runs two major federal student loan programs, the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program (FDLP) and the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP). Under FDLP, students or their parents borrow money directly from the federal government through the schools the students attend. Under FFELP, money is borrowed from private lenders, and the federal government guarantees repayment… more

Gamma-gamma interaction region design issues

Description: An initial design of the optics required for producing gamma-gamma collisions was produced for the NLC Zeroth Order Design Report (ZDR) submitted to the 1996 Snowmass workshop. The design incorporated only loose constraints from the interaction region requirements. In this paper we report progress on a design of a gamma-gamma interaction region which incorporates all constraints.

Properties of fiber composites for advanced flywheel energy storage devices

Description: The performance of commercial high-performance fibers is examined for application to flywheel power supplies. It is shown that actual delivered performance depends on multiple factors such as inherent fiber strength, strength translation and stress-rupture lifetime. Experimental results for recent stress-rupture studies of carbon fibers will be presented and compared with other candidate reinforcement materials. Based on an evaluation of all of the performance factors, it is concluded that carb… more

Determining benefits and costs of improved central air conditioner efficiencies

Description: Economic impacts on individual consumers from possible revisions to U.S. residential-type central air conditioner energy-efficiency standards are examined using a life-cycle cost (LCC) analysis. LCC is the consumer's cost of purchasing and installing a central air conditioner and operating it over its lifetime. This approach makes it possible to evaluate the economic impacts on individual consumers from the revised standards. The methodology allows an examination of groups of the population whi… more

Toward improved environmental decisions.

Description: A common feature of many of the current environmental issues is that the immediate impact of risks, although considered to be small by many scientists, are uncertain and potentially wide spread and significant in the long term and thus of concern to potentially affected groups. The need to formulate decisions and commit major resources in the face of these uncertainties has led to the introduction of new environmental decision making frameworks that have as a central feature consideration of th… more

SSA Disability: Other Programs May Provide Lessons for Improving Return-to-Work Efforts

Description: A letter report issued by the General Accounting Office with an abstract that begins "Return-to-work practices used in the private sector and in foreign countries reflect the understanding that some people with disabilities can and do return to work. Although the Social Security Administration (SSA) has begun to focus more on return to work, it has yet to adopt a complete strategy for implementing this new approach. The Ticket to Work and Work Incentives Improvement Act of 1999 is expected to e… more

Simulations of SSPX Sustainment -- Toward a Standard Model for Spheromaks

Description: SPHERE simulations calibrated to CTX are shown to predict the correct temperature (0.12 KeV) for SSPX sustainment Shot 4624. Agreement with the temperature suggests that the Rechester-Rosenbluth thermal diffusivity included in the SPHERE heat transport equation is essentially correct. Substituting parallel heat loss as suggested by NIMROD calculations gives a temperature four times too low, while omitting Rechester-Rosenbluth transport but retaining ion classical transport gives a temperature t… more

Paper-Less CAD/CAM For Accelerator Components

Description: Computer-aided design and manufacture (CAD/CAM) have enabled advances in the design and manufacture of many accelerator components, though government procurement rules tend to inhibit its use. We developed and executed a method that provides adequate documentation for the procurement process, industrial vendor manufacturing processes, and laboratory installation activities. We detail our experiences in the design and manufacture of 60 separate and unique PEP-II Low Energy Ring Interaction Regio… more

U.S.-Sub-Saharan Africa Trade and Investment: Programs and Policy Direction

Description: U.S. trade with sub-Saharan Africa, like investment, is a small share of U.S. world totals. Several government programs promote U.S. trade and investment through loan guarantees, preferential tariffs for foreign products, credit insurance, and other means, and although these programs assist commercial transactions with sub-Saharan Africa, they are not exclusive to the region. The Clinton Administration took several major initiatives to improve U.S. economic relations with sub-Saharan Africa. In… more

The World Trade Organization: Background and Issues

Description: The World Trade Organization (WTO) was established on January 1, 1995, under an agreement reached during the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations. The Uruguay Round was the last of a series of periodic trade negotiations held under the auspices of the WTO’s predecessor, the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT). Among the questions asked during debate on U.S. trade policy and the WTO are: To what extent should the United States meet its trade goals in theWTO versus other opt… more

Vacuum electron acceleration by an intense laser

Description: Using 3D test particle simulations, the characteristics and essential conditions under which an electron, in a vacuum laser beam, can undergo a capture and acceleration scenario (CAS). When a{sub 0} {approx}> 100 the electron can be captured and violently accelerated to energies {approx}> 1 GeV, with an acceleration gradient {approx}> 10 GeV/cm, where a{sub 0} = eE{sub 0}/m{sub e}{omega}c is the normalized laser field amplitude. The physical mechanism behind the CAS is that diffraction of the f… more

Anode Materials for Rechargeable Li-Ion Batteries

Description: This is the annual progress report for the Grant DE-FG03-00ER15035. This research is on materials for anodes and cathodes in electrochemical cells. The work is a mix of electrochemical measurements and analysis of the materials by transmission electron microscopy and x-ray diffractometry. Our materials studies on electrode materials divide into electronic studies of the valence at and around Li atoms, and the crystal structures of these materials. We are addressing the basic questions of how th… more
