Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), Free Trade, and the 2002 Summit in Mexico

Description: On October 26-27, 2002, the Tenth APEC Leaders’ Meeting (summit) was hosted by Mexico in Las Cabos, Mexico. The official theme for APEC 2002 is to expand the benefits of cooperation for economic growth and development and enable the APEC vision to be implemented. For the United States, APEC raises fundamental questions that are of special interest to Congress. One is whether consensus can be achieved on the APEC vision of free trade and investment in the Asia Pacific or whether future trade lib… more

High pT inclusive charged hadron spectra from Au+Au collisions at {radical}(s{sub NN}) = 200 Gev

Description: The STAR Collaboration presents new measurements of inclusive charged hadron distributions for p{sub T} < 12 GeV/c from Au+Au collisions at {radical}(s{sub NN}) = 200GeV. Charged hadron suppression at high p{sub T} is similar in shape and magnitude at all centralities to that observed previously at {radical}(s{sub NN}) = 130 GeV for p{sub T} < 6 GeV/c. The ratio of spectra from central and peripheral Au+Au collisions shows that hadron suppression is approximately constant within 6 < p{… more

Analytical and Experimental Investigation of Mixing in Large Passive Containment Volumes

Description: This final report details results from the past three years of the three-year UC Berkeley NEER investigation of mixing phenomena in large-scale passive reactor containments. We have completed all of our three-year deliverables specified in our proposal, as summarized for each deliverable in the body of this report, except for the experiments of steam condensation in the presence of noncondensable gas. We have particularly exiting results from the experiments studying the mixing in large insulat… more

Preliminary evaluation of solvent-extraction and/or ion-exchange process for meeting AAA program multi-tier systems recovery and purification goals.

Description: Several potential processes are described and evaluated for their suitability in a multitier aqueous-based approach to processing dissolved spent nuclear fuel under the Advanced Accelerator Applications (AAA) program. The evaluation is focused on solvent extraction and ion exchange technologies that have been demonstrated to varying degrees. The goals of the program are to separate uranium (U), technetium (Tc), and the transuranic (TRU) elements from the fission products that are to be vitrifie… more

Recent Science and Engineering Results with the Laser Guidestar Adaptive Optics System at Lick Observatory

Description: The Lick Observatory laser guide star adaptive optics system has undergone continual improvement and testing as it is being integrated as a facility science instrument on the Shane 3 meter telescope. Both Natural Guide Star (NGS) and Laser Guide Star (LGS) modes are now used in science observing programs. We report on system performance results as derived from data taken on both science and engineering nights and also describe the newly developed on-line techniques for seeing and system perform… more

Quantifying Signaling-Induced Reorientation of TCR's During Immunological Synapse Formation

Description: Productive T cell recognition of antigen-presenting cells (APCs) is normally accompanied by the formation of a cell-cell contact called the 'immunological synapse.' Our understanding of the steps leading up to this formation has been limited by the absence of tools for analyzing 3D surfaces and surface distributions as they change over time. Here we use a 3D fluorescence quantitation method to show that T cell receptors are recruited in bulk within the first minute after the onset of activation… more
