Finite Amplitude Stress Waves in Rocks

Description: Production of new surface area by fracturing of rock behind an explosive-initiated high amplitude wave is probably an important mechanism for energy absorption in the region near n explosion in rock. Explosive-initiated high amplitude pulses in cylinders of three different rocks and two concretes were studied to determine the pulse amplitude need to damage the cylinders. An average high amplitude wave velocity of half the elastic wave velocity was observed in a porous limestone. Elastic theory … more

Proximity effect in Cu-Nb-Sn composites

Description: Heat capacities have been measured in the presence of magnetic fields for Cu-Nb and Cu-Nb/sub 3/Sn in situ composites in order to determine the size of the superconducting pair potential which is induced in the normal Cu region as a function of magnetic field. For the Cu-Nb composites the induced pair potential is found to be about 0.35 MeV in zero field, in agreement with de Gennes boundary conditions. With the application of a magnetic field, the energy gap declines quickly and above about 17… more

The Path of Carbon in Photosynthesis. XXI. The Cyclic Regenerationof Carbon Dioxide Acceptor

Description: Photosynthesizing plants have been exposed to C{sup 14}O{sub 2} for short periods of time (0.4 to 15 sec.) and the products of carbon dioxide reduction analyzed by paper chromatography and radio autography. Methods have been developed for the degradation of ribulose and sedoheptulose. These sugars, obtained as their phosphate esters from the above C{sup 14}O{sub 2} exposures and from other experiments, have been degraded and their distribution of radiocarbon determined. The distribution of radi… more

The Role of the National Laboratory in Improving Secondary Science Education

Description: While the role of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) teachers in our education system is obvious, their role in our economic and national security system is less so. Our nation relies upon innovation and creativity applied in a way that generates new technologies for industry, health care, and the protection of our national assets and citizens. Often, it is our science teachers who generate the excitement that leads students to pursue science careers. While academia provid… more

An Assessment of Energy-Related Career Paths of Senior Industrial Assessment Center Program Alumni

Description: The purpose of this study was to assess the career paths of alumni from the U.S. Department of Energy's Industrial Assessment Center (IAC) program. IAC was originally named the Energy Analysis and Diagnostic Center (EADC) program when it began in association with four schools in 1976. The current IAC program provides funding to 26 engineering colleges, located in centers across the United States, to conduct energy, waste, and productivity assessments for small- to medium-sized manufacturing est… more

High-Speed, High-Resolution Analog Waveform Sampling in VLSI Technology

Description: Switched-capacitor analog memories are well-suited to a number of applications where a continuous digitization of analog signals is not needed. In data acquisition systems based on the use of an analog memory, the input waveforms are sampled and stored at a high rate for a limited period of time, and the analog samples are then retrieved at a lower rate and digitized with a slow ADC before new waveforms are acquired. The advantages of using an analog memory are lower overall power dissipation a… more

Thermotransport of hydrogen and deuterium in vanadium, niobium and tantalum alloys

Description: Heats of transport have been determined for thermotransport of hydrogen and deuterium in pure vanadium, niobium and tantalum; in vanadium alloyed with either niobium, titanium or chromium; and in niobium-tantalum alloys. In all cases, thermotransport was toward colder regions and was significantly greater for deuterium than for hydrogen. A mass spectrometric technique was used to simultaneously measure heats of transport for hydrogen and deuterium in a single specimen containing both isotopes. … more

Study of Metal-1.10-Phenanthroline Complex Equilibria by Potentiometric Measurement

Description: Technical report. From Abstract : "The silver-1,10-phenanthroline system has been studied and the stability constants determined for the 1:1 and 2:1 complexes using the silver electrode. This known system was then used to study the complexes of 1,10-phenanthroline with other metals. The log βn values found for the over-all stoichiometric stability constants are as follows: Ag, 5.02, 12.07; Mn, 3.88, 7.04, 10.11; Cd, 5.93, 10.52, 14.30; Zn, 6.83, 12.05, 16.92. The stoichiometric stability consta… more

Advance concepts for conversion of syngas to liquids. Quarterly report, September 28, 1994--January 28, 1995

Description: In this study, MeAPO-36 was crystallized from a reaction mixture of molar composition 1.8 Pr{sub 3}N; 0.156 MgO; 0.97 Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}; 0.936 P{sub 2}O{sub 5}; 41.4H{sub 2}O; and 0.31 HOAC at 100 C for 48 h followed by 150 C for 24 to 72 h. Its formation was dependent on the source of aluminum, template concentration and the reaction temperature and time. MeAPO-5 was a competing impurity phase and its formation can be suppressed by changes in the reaction conditions. The report includes a disc… more

Mass-spectrometric determination of trace elements in aqueous media without preconcentration

Description: Feasibility of using a low pressure glow discharge as an ion source for the mass spectrometric determination of trace elements in aqueous media was investigated. A cryogenically cooled hollow cathode ion source was developed to analyze aqueous samples without external preconcentration. Aqueous solutions containing seventy elements were analyzed and the detection limits, sensitivity factors, and linear regression correlation coefficients were determined. A standard test solution of trace element… more

New amorphous magnetic materials of Fe-B-Be and Fe-B-Au

Description: Substitution of Be for B in the amorphous binary alloy Fe/sub 82/B/sub 18/ caused an initial increase in saturation magnetization (M/sub s/) to a maximum of 200 emu/g at 4.2K, followed by a decrease for alloys with more than 4 at. % Be. Concurrently, the Curie temperature (T/sub C/) of the Fe/sub 82/B/sub 18-x/Be/sub x/ alloy decreased progressively with Be content. These changes in M/sub s/ and T/sub C/ differ from those observed in Fe-B-M' metallic glasses, where M' is another metalloid (P, C… more
