An Integral Design Technique for Wideband Multistage Transistor Amplifiers

Description: Presented herein is a philosophy for designing wideband multistage transistor amplifiers. The amplifier is visualized as an integral unit, the interstage networks constituting the elements of the amplifier unit. By designing the amplifier as a unit and adjusting the overall response (gain and bandwidth) with the interstage time constants, an increase in gain-bandwidth product is realized over the iteratively designed amplifiers. The resulting increase in gain-bandwidth product results from abse… more

The Tides: A Dynamic Explanation Based Upon Fundamental Physical Concepts

Description: A model is proposed to directly relate observed tidal action with orbital movements of the moon and the earth. The basic model consists of a unit mass acting as a free point on the rotating earth's surface and being carried into a field gradient. The field is such as to cause the free point to "fall" along the surface, gain a velocity with respect to the earth's surface, and thus produce a tidal interaction at coastal barriers. Gyroscopic and resonant oscillatory current effects are not treated. more

Elastic Scattering of 31-Mev He3 Ions From Several Elements

Description: The absolute differential cross sections for elastic scattering of 31-Mev He3 ions on Be, Al, Cu, Sn(nat), Sn120, and Bi have been measured in the angular range of approximately 10 to 120 deg in the center-of-mass system. Thin self-supporting foil targets were chosen to span the parameter A 1/3, where A is the target mass number. The first excited states of the isotopes of the above elements had sufficient energy separation from the ground state to enable elastic scattering to be resolved from … more

The Neutron-Deficient Yttrium Isotopes Y82, Y83, And Y84

Description: The neutron-deficient yttrium isotopes Y82, Y83, and Y84 have been produced by irradiations with the Berkeley heavy-ion linear accelerator. Where possible, identifications were made by establishing genetic relationships with known daughter or granddaughter activities. The half-life of Y84 determined by direct decay is 39+-1 min. By a series of timed chemical separations, the following half-lives have been established: Y82, 9+-3 min; Y83, 8+-2 min. No information pertaining to the radiations emi… more

A Solution of the Distributional Error Problem in Cytophotometry

Description: Use of that portion of the characteristic curve of photographic film in which transmission is linear with log exposure eliminates the distributional error and thus makes possible the assessment of total mass of an inhomogeneously distributed cell consistent without scanning or measuring the cell's projected area. Measurement consists of obtaining the difference in output of a photocell receiving the total light transmitted by a photomicrograph of the cell, and a photomicrograph of the microscop… more

Influence of Different Y Chromosomes on Secondary Nondisjunction in D. Melanogaster

Description: Females heterozygous for a wildtype X chromosome from a Samarkand stock and an chromosome of the composition [formula] were tested for the frequency of X-chromosomal non-disjunction and segregation of the X's when Y chromosomes of different types were present in the females. The Y chromosomes used were 1) a normal unmarked Y, 2) [formula], 3) [formula] and 4) [formula] (a chromosome which arose in one of our experiments and has not yet been analyzed). Since this was only a preliminary test no a… more

The Effect of Temperature on the Yield Strength of the Polycrystalline Hexagonal Ag-Al Intermetallic Phase

Description: The effect of temperature on the yield strength of the polycrystalline hexagonal Ag-Al intermetallic phase was investigated over the temperature range 77 to 775 K. It was found that the curve for yield stress vs temperature for both polycrystalline Ag-33 at .% Al specimens that were heavily cold worked prior to deformation and those that were recrystallized prior to deformation was parallel to that for prismatic slip in single crystals.

Hydromagnetic Ionizing Fronts

Description: One of the techniques by which highly ionized plasmas can be generated in the laboratory makes use of strong, electromagnetically driven shock waves propagating into a cold gas. In this paper the phenomenon is analyzed as a one-dimensional single-fluid hydromagnetic problem, neglecting dissipation behind the wave. We hypothesize that the rarefaction wave remains attached to the front. In the limit of essentially complete ionization behind the front the problem can be solved analytically as long… more

The Radiolysis Of Liquid Isobutane With Pulsed Electrons

Description: Of the saturated hydrocarbons, isobutane represents the simplest case where specificity in radiolytic behavior owing to structural configuration should be apparent. The hydrogen bonded to the tertiary carbon atoms should, on the basis of bond strengths alone, be expected to be more reactive than other hydrogen atoms in the molecule. In order to investigate such specificity, liquid isobutane has been irradiated at 20' and an attempt made to identify and measure all products through the C8 (C<sub… more

A Recoil Study Of The Reaction C12(p,pn)C11 [formula]

Description: Recoil ranges of C11 from the reaction C12(p,pn)C11 are presented for incident proton energies from 0.25 to 6.2 Gev. From these data it is concluded that a neutron evaporation mechanism cannot be the major mechanism. The result for incident energies of 3 and 6.2 Gev are consistent with a fast reaction consisting of a single inelastic nucleon-nucleon collision. Assuming this mechanism, an average kinetic energy of 19 Mev can be deduced for the struck neutron (before the collision) in the C12 nuc… more

A Theoretical Consideration Of Asymmetric Heat Flow At The Interface Of The Dissimilar Metals

Description: Several investigators have found that the resistance to heat transfer at certain metal-metal interfaces is dependent upon the direction of heat flow across these interfaces. This paper shows that such a phenomenon can be explained by application of the theory of heat conduction in the solid state.

Color Production From Energetic Ions Impinging On Metals

Description: It has been observed that energetic gaseous ions mark their region of impingement on certain metals in color. Under identical conditions of bombardment, multicharged ions of the same gas mark their impact areas with different colors. The colors are sensitive to the type and energy of the ion as well as to the metal bombarded. These colors may result from reflections from thin films formed by reactions at the target. Because the colors indicate that thicker films are produced with increased ion … more

Nine-Channel Polychromator For Observation Of Time-Dependent Spectral Line Profiles

Description: The instrument (polychromator) described observes time-dependent spectral-line profiles by simultaneous measurement at nine different wavelengths of light intensity as a function of time. A cylindrical lens magnifies the dispersion of a Jarrell-Ash Model S2000 Ebert Monochromator and forms an image on a light-pipe solder. Light pipes transfer light from various sections of the image--i.e., different wavelengths--to photomultiplier tubes, and the responses are displayed on oscilloscopes. The ins… more

Sheet Metal Can Furnace

Description: A need for a small vertical cylinder-type furnace arises frequently in the Chemistry Department at the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory (LRL). Adequate heat is the major requirement; close control or calibration is not usually necessary. A heating unit of this type can either be used for quickly concentrating solutions in centrifuge cones or, by the addition of a refractory pedestal--can be made into a crucible furnace for size 0 and 00 crucibles. Because much of the chemistry done at LRL is with … more

Calibration Of Bridgman Anvils, A Pressure Scale To 125 Kbars

Description: It is shown that a radial pressure gradient exists in the silver chloride when it is used as the pressure transmitting medium in Bridgman anvils. The gradient can be obviated by the use of circular sections of wire. The center of curvature of the wire hoop is made coincident with the anvil center. When the inner and outer diameters of the pyrophyllite retaining ring are 1/2 and 7/16" respectively, the pressure, P, is P = (0.725 + 0.468R) L where R is the fractional displacement from the center,… more

The Crystal Structure Of Cobalt Sulfate Hexahydrate

Description: Calorimetric measurements by Rao and Giauque (1960) showed some unaccountable residual entropy in crystals of [formula] at low temperatures. We have investigated the crystal structure in search of an explanation of the disorder. The resulting structure offers no possibility of disordered rings of hydrogen bonds such as were found in [formula], nor do we find any other explanation of the entropy discrepancy.

Chemical Reactions In Crossed Molecular Beams

Description: Even in its present primitive stage the molecular beam method promises to open up many opportunities for detailed studies of reactive collisions. The early results described here have revealed several features inaccessible to the traditional methods of kinetics. We hope this program of beam studies will ultimately provide the basis for constructing a theory of the molecular mechanics of reactions. By borrowing what are now everyday techniques in nuclear physics (modulation of the beams; mass an… more
