Co Distribution And Kinematics Along The Bar In The Strongly Barred Spiral Ngc 7479, S Laine, J D P Kenny, Min S. Yun, S T. Gottesman
Co Distribution And Kinematics Along The Bar In The Strongly Barred Spiral Ngc 7479, S Laine, J D P Kenny, Min S. Yun, S T. Gottesman
Min S. Yun
We report on the 2farcs5 (400 pc) resolution CO (J=1→0) observations covering the whole length of the bar in the strongly barred late-type spiral galaxy NGC 7479. CO emission is detected only along a dust lane that traverses the whole length of the bar, including the nucleus. The emission is strongest in the nucleus. The distribution of emission is clumpy along the bar outside the nucleus and consists of gas complexes that are unlikely to be gravitationally bound. The CO kinematics within the bar consist of two separate components. A kinematically distinct circumnuclear disk, <500 pc in diameter, is undergoing predominantly circular motion with a maximum rotational velocity of 245 km s-1 at a radius of 1'' (160 pc). The CO-emitting gas in the bar outside the circumnuclear disk has substantial noncircular motions that are consistent with a large radial velocity component, directed inward. The CO emission has a large velocity gradient across the bar dust lane, ranging from 0.5 to 1.9 km s-1 pc-1 after correcting for inclination, and the projected velocity change across the dust lane is as high as 200 km s-1. This sharp velocity gradient is consistent with a shock front at the location of the bar dust lane. A comparison of Hα and CO kinematics across the dust lane shows that, although the Hα emission is often observed both upstream and downstream from the dust lane, the CO emission is observed only where the velocity gradient is large. We also compare the observations with hydrodynamic models and discuss star formation along the bar.

Land Development And Biotechnology At The Claremont Colleges, Paul Faulstich
Pitzer Faculty Publications and Research
Founded on the Oxford model of a cluster of institutions, the Claremont Colleges has periodically established a new school. In the Spring of 1997, the Board of Fellows of the Claremont University Center charged with policy-making for the consortium-voted to establish a seventh college; the Keck Graduate Institute of applied life sciences. or bioengineering. Despite other landholdings, including a golf course and a non-operational gravel quarry, the Board of Fellows voted to site the New Venture on a portion-approximately eleven acres--of the Bernard Biological Field Station. (Pitzer's vote was cast against building on the Field Station.)

Measurement Of The Mass Splittings Between The Bb̅ΧB,J(1P) States, K. W. Edwards, Kenneth A. Bloom, Cleo Collaboration
Kenneth Bloom Publications
We present new measurements of photon energies and branching fractions for the radiative transitions Υ(2S) → γχb(J=0,1,2)(1P). The masses of the χb states are determined from the measured radiative photon energies. The ratio of mass splittings between the χb substates, r ≡ [(MJ=2 -MJ=1)/( MJ=1 - MJ=0), with M the χb mass, provides information on the nature of the bb̅ confining potential. We find r(1P)=0.542 ±0.022±0.024. This value is somewhat lower than the previous world average, but more consistent with …

Parity nonconservation (PNC) was studied in p-wave resonances in Ag by measuring the helicity dependence of the neutron total cross section. Transmission measurements on natural Ag were performed in the energy range 32 to 422 eV with the time-of-flight method at the Manuel Lujan Neutron Scattering Center at Los Alamos National Laboratory. A total of 15 p-wave neutron resonances were studied in 107Ag and ninep-wave resonances in 109Ag. Statistically significant asymmetries were observed for eight resonances in 107Ag and for four resonances in109Ag. An analysis treating the PNC matrix elements as random variables yields a …

Dislocation Scattering In Gan, David C. Look, J. R. Sizelove
Physics Faculty Publications
A theory of charged-dislocation-line scattering is developed within the framework of the Boltzmann transport equation. A fit of the theory to temperature-dependent Hall-effect data in GaN gives dislocation densities which are in excellent agreement with those measured by transmission electron microscopy. This work shows that threading edge dislocations in GaN indeed are electrically active, in agreement with recent theoretical predictions.

United States Geological Survey: Staff Publications
We studied a nesting population of Prairie Falcons (Falco mexicanus) in the Snake River Birds of Prey National Conservation Area (NCA) from 1974-1997 to identify factors that influence abundance and reproduction. Our sampling period included two major droughts and associated crashes in Townsend's ground squirrel (Spermophilus townsendii) populations. The number of Prairie Falcon pairs found on long-term survey segments declined significantly from 1976-1997. Early declines were most severe at the eastern end of the NCA, where fires and agriculture have changed native shrubsteppe habitat. More recent declines occurred in the portion of canyon near the Orchard …

Effect Of Uniform Electric Field On Homogeneous Vapor–Liquid Nucleation And Phase Equilibria. Ii. Extended Simple Point Charge Model Water, G.T. Gao, K.J. Oh, Xiao Cheng Zeng
Xiao Cheng Zeng Publications
The effects of a uniform electric field on homogeneous vapor–liquid nucleation of the extended simple point charge (SPC/E) model water have been simulated. A grand canonical Monte Carlo simulation approach [I. Kusaka et al., J. Chem. Phys. 108, 3416 (1998)], which directly gives the equilibrium distribution of physical clusters, is employed to calculate the formation free energy of the SPC/E water cluster. The results show that the formation free energy is lowered in a uniform field if the chemical potential of the supersaturated vapor is fixed; in this case, the field enhances the rate of nucleation. However, if the vapor …

Internal Temperature Of Douglas-Fir Buds Is Altered At Elevated Temperature, Martha E. Apple, Melissa S. Lucash, David M. Olszyk, David T. Tingey, Donald L. Phillips
Environmental Science and Management Faculty Publications and Presentations
Pseudotsuga menziesii (Douglas-fir) saplings were grown in sun-lit controlled environment chambers at ambient or elevated (4°C above ambient) temperature. We measured internal temperatures of vegetative buds with thermocouple probes and compared temperatures of normal buds and abnormal buds with loosened, rosetted outer scales in elevated temperature chambers. The abnormal buds had higher and earlier peak daily temperatures than normal buds. Elevated temperature may influence the internal temperature of buds and contribute to the development of abnormal, rosetted buds with loosened outer scales. Abnormal bud development may alter branching patterns and allometry of Douglas-fir trees subjected to climatic change.

Knowledge of the relationship between structure and function of the normal pulmonary arterial tree is necessary for understanding normal pulmonary hemodynamics and the functional consequences of the vascular remodeling that accompanies pulmonary vascular diseases. In an effort to provide a means for relating the measurable vascular geometry and vessel mechanics data to the mean pressure-flow relationship and longitudinal pressure profile, we present a mathematical model of the pulmonary arterial tree. The model is based on the observation that the normal pulmonary arterial tree is a bifurcating tree in which the parent-to-daughter diameter ratios at a bifurcation and vessel distensibility are …

Survey Of Military Applications For Fourier Transform Infrared (Ftir) Spectroscopy, Robert G. Hauser
Survey Of Military Applications For Fourier Transform Infrared (Ftir) Spectroscopy, Robert G. Hauser
Theses and Dissertations
This paper surveyed four potential military uses for a Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectrometer. A physical method to retrieve vertical atmospheric temperature profiles using a least-squares solution on atmospheric radiance observed at the surface in the 4.3-micrometer carbon dioxide absorption band was analyzed. The method was not successful. Weighting functions, calculated from the surface looking up, were a maximum at the surface, so no unique solution for temperature retrieval by height was determined. Observed atmospheric radiance measurements were compared with radiance calculated using the Moderate Resolution Transmittance Code (MODTRAN). Qualitative comparison showed spectral features of observed and calculated radiance plots …

Dartmouth Scholarship
We report observations of the double nucleus of M31 with the f/48 long-slit spectrograph of the Hubble Space Telescope Faint Object Camera. We obtain a total exposure of 19,000 s over seven orbits, with the 0063-wide slit along the line between the two brightness peaks (P.A. 42°). Careful correction of the raw data for detector backgrounds and geometric distortion is essential. A spectrum of Jupiter obtained with the same instrument is used as a spectral template to extract rotation and velocity dispersion profiles by cross-correlation. The rotation curve is resolved and reaches a maximum amplitude of ~250 km s-1 roughly …

We measured radon (222Rn) concentrations in Iowa and Minnesota and found that unusually high annual average radon concentrations occur outdoors in portions of central North America. In some areas, outdoor concentrations exceed the national average indoor radon concentration. The general spatial patterns of outdoor radon and indoor radon are similar to the spatial distribution of radon progeny in the soil. Outdoor radon exposure in this region can be a substantial fraction of an individual's total radon exposure and is highly variable across the population. Estimated lifetime effective dose equivalents for the women participants in a radon-related lung cancer …

Carbon nanotubes are believed to be the ultimate low-density high-modulus fibers, which makes their characterization at nanometer scale vital for applications. By using an atomic force microscope and a special substrate, the elastic and shear moduli of individual single-walled nanotube (SWNT) ropes were measured to be of the order of 1 TPa and 1 GPa, respectively. In contrast to multiwalled nanotubes, an unexpectedly low intertube shear stiffness dominated the flexural behavior of the SWNT ropes. This suggests that intertube cohesion should be improved for applications of SWNT ropes in high-performance composite materials.
