Emission Line Profile Shapes From Anisotropic Scattering In Planar Equatorial Disks., R. Ignace Aug 1998

Emission Line Profile Shapes From Anisotropic Scattering In Planar Equatorial Disks., R. Ignace

Richard Ignace

The consequences of anisotropic resonance line scattering for the emission profiles of equatorial disks are considered. In particular the opportunity to infer the disk velocity field owing to the anisotropic scattering is discussed. Analytic expressions for the profile shapes are derived for the cases of constant expansion and rotation, and numerical results are given for more realistic disk velocity fields of linear expansion and Keplerian rotation. The essential result is that the anisotropic line scattering produces a different profile signature in expanding disks as compared to rotating disks, owing to the difference in the isovelocity pattern of the two cases …


Inference Of Steady Stellar Wind V(R) Laws From Optically Thin Emission Lines Iii. Inversion Of Total Line Intensity Distributions., R. Ignace, J. C. Brown, J. E. Milne, J. P. Cassinelli Aug 1998

Inference Of Steady Stellar Wind V(R) Laws From Optically Thin Emission Lines Iii. Inversion Of Total Line Intensity Distributions., R. Ignace, J. C. Brown, J. E. Milne, J. P. Cassinelli

Richard Ignace

The variation with wavelength for a sequence of total intensities of stellar wind lines is considered as a basis for deriving the wind velocity law v(r). In particular, we focus on the case where the continuum formation in the wind is dominated by the free-free opacity so that the inner radius increases with wavelength, as is realized in some massive winds like those of the Wolf-Rayet stars. The line emission in the wind occurs exterior to the continuum photosphere, hence lines observed at different wavelengths probe different regions of the wind acceleration. A major consequence of these physical conditions is …

Nigam Rath

The reaction of 3-aryl-2-cyano-5,5-bis(methylthio)penta-2,4-dienenitrile, (1), with (L)-(-)-2-hydroxymethylpyrrolidine, (2), gave two types of product, the normal substitution product, (3), and a pyridine derivative, (4). The structures of two representative examples, 2-phenyl-3-(5,6,7,7a-tetrahydro1H,3H-pyrrolo[1,2-c]oxazol-3-ylidene)-1-propene-1,1-dicarbonitrile, (3a), as its hemibenzene solvate, C17H14N3O.0.5C6H6, and 4-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2,6-bis(methylthio)pyridine-3-carbonitrile, (4b), C15H14N2OS2, have been unambiguously established by X-ray crystallographic analysis. The molecular packing of (4b) involves loosly held dimers with S1...S1' distances of 3.424 (1) Å.


Improving Performance By Branch Reordering, Minghui Yang, Gang-Ryung Uh, David B. Whalley May 1998

Improving Performance By Branch Reordering, Minghui Yang, Gang-Ryung Uh, David B. Whalley

Gang-Ryung Uh

The conditional branch has long been considered an expensive operation. The relative cost of conditional branches has increased as recently designed machines are now relying on deeper pipelines and higher multiple issue. Reducing the number of conditional branches executed can often result in a substantial performance benefit. This paper describes a code-improving transformation to reorder sequences of conditional branches. First, sequences of branches that can be reordered are detected in the control flow. Second, profiling information is collected to predict the probability that each branch will transfer control out of the sequence. Third, the cost of performing each conditional branch …


Sediment Control At Water Intakes Along Sand Bed Rivers, Fred L. Ogden May 1998

Sediment Control At Water Intakes Along Sand Bed Rivers, Fred L. Ogden

Fred L. Ogden

Results from five physical hydraulic model studies of riverside water intakes situated along the Missouri River reach between Sioux City, Iowa, and St. Louis, Missouri, are presented. Movable-bed, undistorted Froude-scale models are used to determine the effectiveness of structural modifications in the vicinity of the intake to limit the influx of bed-load sediments. Solutions developed in each case include a series of submerged flow-turning vanes located on the riverward side of the intake. A sediment-barrier wall between the vanes and intake ...


Resistivity Of Boron-Doped Diamond Microcrystals, M. D. Jaeger, S. Hyun, Anthony Roy Day, M. F. Thorpe, B. Golding May 1998

Resistivity Of Boron-Doped Diamond Microcrystals, M. D. Jaeger, S. Hyun, Anthony Roy Day, M. F. Thorpe, B. Golding

Anthony Roy Day

We describe measurements of the electrical resistivity of micron-size crystallites of boron-doped diamond. Electron-beam lithography was employed for writing sample-specific contacts on small, well-faceted diamond crystals grown by chemical-vapor deposition on silicon substrates. After generating a three-dimensional computer model of the crystallite, a finite-element analysis was used to calculate the internal electrostatic potential distribution. Multiterminal resistance measurements, in conjunction with a computed geometrical factor, enabled the absolute resistivity to be determined. We find that the resistivities obtained from two different crystallites agree to better than 10%. The results are compared with transport measurements on a large-area homoepitaxial diamond film grown …

Quantum-Statistical Properties Of Two Coupled Modes Of Electromagnetic Field, Serguei Y. Kalmykov, Mikhail E. Veisman Apr 1998

Quantum-Statistical Properties Of Two Coupled Modes Of Electromagnetic Field, Serguei Y. Kalmykov, Mikhail E. Veisman

Serge Youri Kalmykov

Squeezing the quantum fluctuations of the two-mode light due to the nonstationary coupling between the quadrature components q_1 and q_2 is examined. The delta-function and step-function mode couplings are considered. The conditions of weak and strong step-function coupling are distinguished, the latter being the condition of the instability for the classical counterpart of the quantum system under study. Under the conditions of weak coupling the quadrature squeezing is established in both a two-mode electromagnetic noise in thermal equilibrium (the thermal state) and a two- mode correlated coherent state (CCS). Squeezing in the thermal state is suppressed at a high temperature. …

Friction Anisotropy And Asymmetry Of A Compliant Monolayer Induced By A Small Molecular Tilt, Nancy Burnham, M Liley, D. Gourdon, Dimitrios Stamou, U Meseth, T Fischer, C Lautz, H Stahlberg, H Vogel, C Duschl Apr 1998

Friction Anisotropy And Asymmetry Of A Compliant Monolayer Induced By A Small Molecular Tilt, Nancy Burnham, M Liley, D. Gourdon, Dimitrios Stamou, U Meseth, T Fischer, C Lautz, H Stahlberg, H Vogel, C Duschl

Nancy A. Burnham

Lateral force microscopy in the wearless regime was used to study the friction behavior of a lipid monolayer on mica. In the monolayer, condensed domains with long-range orientational order of the lipid molecules were present. The domains revealed unexpectedly strong friction anisotropies and non-negligible friction asymmetries. The angular dependency of these effects correlated well with the tilt direction of the alkyl chains of the monolayer, as determined by electron diffraction and Brewster angle microscopy. The molecular tilt causing these frictional effects was less than 15 degrees, demonstrating that even small molecular tilts can make a major contribution to friction.

Attractor Systems And Analog Computation, Hava Siegelmann, Shmuel Fishman Mar 1998

Attractor Systems And Analog Computation, Hava Siegelmann, Shmuel Fishman

Hava Siegelmann

Attractor systems are useful in neurodynamics, mainly in the modeling of associative memory. This paper presents a complexity theory for continuous phase space dynamical systems with discrete or continuous time update, which evolve to attractors. In our framework we associate complexity classes with different types of attractors. Fixed points belong to the class BPPd, while chaotic attractors are in NPd. The BPP=NP question of classical complexity theory is translated into a question in the realm of chaotic dynamical systems. This theory enables an algorithmic analysis of attractor networks and flows for the solution of various problem such as linear programming. …


A Re-Evaluation Of Profile Shapes From Resonance Line Scattering In Spherical Stellar Winds., R. Ignace Mar 1998

A Re-Evaluation Of Profile Shapes From Resonance Line Scattering In Spherical Stellar Winds., R. Ignace

Richard Ignace

It is common to treat the scattering of light by resonance lines as isotropic, but in fact it has been known for some time that general resonance line scattering is partially isotropic and partially dipolar, the relative strength of the two components depending on the specific transition. As a result, the profile shapes of lines that scatter with strong dipole distributions could in principle differ markedly from those that scatter isotropically. This paper explores the consequences of general resonance line scattering in spherically symmetric stellar envelopes. As a simplified example, a resonance line profile arising in a constant expansion wind …

Synthesis Of Licoo2 Powders For Lithium-Ion Batteries From Precursors Derived By Rotary Evaporation., P. Kumpta, D. Gallet, A. Waghray, G. Blomgren, Michael Setter Mar 1998

Synthesis Of Licoo2 Powders For Lithium-Ion Batteries From Precursors Derived By Rotary Evaporation., P. Kumpta, D. Gallet, A. Waghray, G. Blomgren, Michael Setter

Michael P. Setter

Lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO2) has received considerable attention in the last few years and is a well-known cathode material for high voltage (4 V) rechargeable Li-ion batteries. A simple chemical approach based on aqueous solution chemistry has been developed to synthesize molecularly mixed amorphous precursors. The precursors begin to transform to form LiCoO2 upon heat treatment at temperatures as low as 400°C. Strong peaks characteristic of the desired high temperature (HT) phase of LiCoO2 evolve when the precursors are heat treated to 800°C for 2 h. The morphology and particle size of the powders have been examined using scanning electron …

The Voltammetry Of C84 Isomers, Mark Anderson, Harry Dorn, Steven Stevenson, Susanne Dana Mar 1998

The Voltammetry Of C84 Isomers, Mark Anderson, Harry Dorn, Steven Stevenson, Susanne Dana

Mark R. Anderson

The square-wave voltammetry of isolated isomers of C84 is reported. Based on their relative abundance, the isomers are assumed to have D2 and D2d symmetry. The D2 isomer has four reversible reductions at −0.65, −0.98, −1.34, and −1.75 V versus Fc/Fc+ prior to electrolyte decomposition. This behavior is consistent with previous reports, and is similar to the voltammetry of C60 and C70 (e.g. sequential reductions spaced at slightly increasing intervals). The D2d isomer has five reversible reductions at −0.46, −0.77, −1.58, −1.98, and −2.27 V versus Fc/Fc+ prior to the onset of electrolyte decomposition. The large potential difference separating the …

Imaging The Molecular Dimensions And Oligomerization Of Proteins At Liquid/Solid Interfaces, Mark Waner, Martha Gilchrist, Melvin Schindler, Marcos Dantus Feb 1998

Imaging The Molecular Dimensions And Oligomerization Of Proteins At Liquid/Solid Interfaces, Mark Waner, Martha Gilchrist, Melvin Schindler, Marcos Dantus

Mark J. Waner

Individual Concanavalin A (ConA) molecules have been imaged at the liquid/solid interface with an atomic force microscope (AFM). Three-dimensional sizing with very high resolution (<5 Å) has been obtained by a novel approach based on height distributions, which avoids the tip convolution effects which normally affect scanning probe microscopy techniques. Each height measurement correlates to a particular molecular orientation on the surface. A large number of such measurements provide a statistical ensemble of orientations. The complete height distribution reflects the three-dimensional size of the protein sample and hence its tertiary and quaternary structure. A surface adsorption and orientation model, based on a minimization of surface adsorption energy, is proposed. This model is in good agreement with the observed height distribution of Con A molecules at the liquid/solid interface. Analysis of Con A and succinylated Con A molecules on mica demonstrates that Con A dimers are the prevalent species at the liquid/solid interface. This is in contrast to the tetrameric organization of Con A normally observed in solution. The new possibilities opened by height distribution analysis on the physical characterization of biomolecules at interfaces are also discussed.

Density Fluctuations In Vibrated Granular Materials , E.R. Nowak, J.B. Knight, E. Ben-Naim, H.M Jaeger, S.R. Nagel Jan 1998

Density Fluctuations In Vibrated Granular Materials , E.R. Nowak, J.B. Knight, E. Ben-Naim, H.M Jaeger, S.R. Nagel

Eli Ben-Naim

We report systematic measurements of the density of a vibrated granular material as a function of time. Monodisperse spherical beads were confined to a cylindrical container and shaken vertically. Under vibrations, the density of the pile slowly reaches a final steady-state value about which the density fluctuates. We have investigated the frequency dependence and amplitude of these fluctuations as a function of vibration intensity Γ. The spectrum of density fluctuations around the steady state value provides a probe of the internal relaxation dynamics of the system and a link to recent thermodynamic theories for the settling of granular material.

Inference Of Steady Stellar Wind V(R) Laws From Optically Thin Emission Lines Ii. Occultation Effects And The Determination Of Intrinsic Stellar Properties., R. Ignace, J. C. Brown, L. L. Richardson, J. P. Cassinelli Jan 1998

Inference Of Steady Stellar Wind V(R) Laws From Optically Thin Emission Lines Ii. Occultation Effects And The Determination Of Intrinsic Stellar Properties., R. Ignace, J. C. Brown, L. L. Richardson, J. P. Cassinelli

Richard Ignace

This paper extends previous work on the inversion of line profiles to obtain wind velocity laws to a case that includes the occultation of light from the far side of the star. The velocity law v(r) is assumed to be from a wind that is steady and spherically symmetric. The wind is also assumed to be optically thin in the emission line profile. The major result here is the derivation of an analytic inversion formula. The effects of stellar occultation are shown to produce a significant change in the analysis from paper I, and by accounting for the occultation, the …
