Final Report: Interactive Web Technologies for Dissemination of Scientific Graphics, September 2, 1998 - March 17, 1999

Description: An interactive software tool was developed to support the dissemination of scientific graphics. The technologies were developed both as a Java applet and stand-alone application and allow images to be disseminated as a data collection and an appearance script. Phase I efforts defined the model for the grahics tools. Software prototypes were constructed to test the utility of the graphics tool and refine the model.

Final Report: Latent Expression of Genetic Damage in Human Lung Cells

Description: This project was aimed at furthering understanding of the latent effects of ionizing radiation. The underlying premise was that such latent (i.e., delayed) effects stemmed from radiation-induced genetic instability. As model system to investigate certain aspects of genomic instability, they proposed to look at chromosomal instability involving quasi-targeted radiation-induced breakpoints in the vicinity of the HPRT gene in EJ30 human epithelial cells. Using whole chromosome painting of the X ch… more

Experimental test of nuclear magnetization distribution and nuclear structure models

Description: Models exist that ascribe the nuclear magnetic fields to the presence of a single nucleon whose spin is not neutralized by pairing it up with that of another nucleon; other models assume that the generation of the magnetic field is shared among some or all nucleons throughout the nucleus. All models predict the same magnetic field external to the nucleus since this is an anchor provided by experiments. The models differ, however, in their predictions of the magnetic field arrangement within the… more

Interim report on task 1.4: impurity effects part 1 of 2 to Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory under contract b345772

Description: From our work with baseline ceramics containing Pu, or Ce substituted for Pu, doped with sets of inactive impurity ions (with supposedly the same valency) and sintered in different atmospheres, the conclusion is that all ions of similar size and valency are indeed crystal-chemically equivalent unless there are volatility problems. However, the real question appears to be what are the appropriate valency states of the multivalent impurity ions under given sintering conditions. For example, when … more

Powdered Crystalline Silicotitanate (CST) Isotherms for SRS Wastes

Description: One of the primary inputs for modeling an ion exchange column is the equilibrium driving force for mass transfer between the solution and the solid phase. The equilibrium relationship is typically known as an isotherm. This document contains the predicted isotherms for the various Savannah River Site (SRS) waste types in equilibrium with powdered (ungranulated) crystalline silicotitanate (CST).
