Use Of Positron Annihilation Spectroscopy For Stress-Strain Measurements, Ajit K. Roy
Use Of Positron Annihilation Spectroscopy For Stress-Strain Measurements, Ajit K. Roy
Transmutation Sciences Materials (TRP)
The purpose of this collaborative research project involving the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) and Idaho State University (ISU) is to evaluate the feasibility of determining residual stresses of welded (after pre-straining) engineering materials using a new nondestructive technique based on positron annihilation spectroscopy. The proposed technique is to use γ-rays 2 from a small MeV electron Linac to generate positrons inside the sample via pair production. This method can be used for materials characterization and investigation of defects in thick samples that could not be accomplished by conventional positron techniques or other nondestructive methods. The data generated will …

A Risk/Cost Framework For Logistics Policy Evaluation: Hazardous Waste Management, Kimberly Hollister
A Risk/Cost Framework For Logistics Policy Evaluation: Hazardous Waste Management, Kimberly Hollister
Department of Information Management and Business Analytics Faculty Scholarship and Creative Works
The management of hazardous waste disposal operations is extremely complex involving a multitude of environmental, engineering, economic, social and political concerns. This article proposes a framework to assist policy makers in the evaluation of logistic policies. A spatial general equilibrium based policy evaluation model is developed to calculate risk, cost, and risk equity tradeoff curves. This framework provides policy makers a tool with which they can relate resulting logistics patterns and their associated risk, cost, and equity attributes to original policy goals.
Kink-Based Path Integral Calculations Of Atoms He-Ne, Randall W. Hall
Kink-Based Path Integral Calculations Of Atoms He-Ne, Randall W. Hall
Collected Faculty and Staff Scholarship
An adaptive, kink-based path integral formalism is used to calculate the ground state energies of the atoms He–Ne. The method uses an adaptive scheme to virtually eliminate the sign difficulties. This is done by using a Monte Carlo scheme to identify states that contribute significantly to the canonical partition function and then include them in the wavefunctions to calculate the canonical averages. The calculations use the 6-31G basis set and obtain both precision and accuracy.

We report results on highly oriented, face-centered tetragonal ordered CoPt and FePt thin films grown nonepitaxially by directly depositing films on thermally oxidized Si substrates and subsequent annealing. By controlling the thickness, composition, and annealing conditions, and/or depositing a proper underlayer, nearly perfect (001)-oriented CoPt and FePt films can be obtained. Magnetic measurements reveal large perpendicular anisotropy for such films.
Dissociative Electron Attachment To Molecules In The Gas Phase And In Rare Gas Solids, Paul Burrow, Kayvan Aflatooni
Dissociative Electron Attachment To Molecules In The Gas Phase And In Rare Gas Solids, Paul Burrow, Kayvan Aflatooni
Paul Burrow Publications
Measurements of dissociative electron attachment (DEA) cross sections in chloroalkanes and chlorofluoromethanes have shown strong correlations between the peak DEA cross sections and the vertical attachment energies (VAEs) of these compounds. We explore the extent to which these gas phase data can be used to predict such cross sections for molecules embedded within or on the surface of a Kr solid. Effective VAEs are computed that include polarization of the solid by the anion and effects due to electron motion in the lattice. Comparisons are made with recent surface and bulk measurements and show good agreement for CF3Cl …

Lee J Florea, PhD, P.G.
Little statewide geospatial data was available for Kentucky caves and karst in the past. Recent trends in land development have prompted a distinct need for these data in order to help minimize impact to cave and karst resources. During the past two years, the I-66 Special Project of the National Speleological Society, The Kentucky Speleological Survey, and the Kentucky Geological Survey have gathered, archived, and developed karst data for the state. Current projects include publication of karst basin maps, archiving cave entrance locations, archiving and georeferencing cave maps, creating polygon coverages of cave conduits, and a statewide sinkhole digitization project. …

Comparative Genomic Hybridization Array Analysis, Annette M. Molinaro, Mark J. Van Der Laan, Dan H. Moore
U.C. Berkeley Division of Biostatistics Working Paper Series
At the present time, there is increasing evidence that cancer may be regulated by the number of copies of genes in tumor cells. Through microarray technology it is now possible to measure the number of copies of thousands of genes and gene segments in samples of chromosomal DNA. Microarray comparative genomic hybridization (array CGH) provides the opportunity to both measure DNA sequence copy number gains and losses and map these aberrations to the genomic sequence. Gains can signify the over-expression of oncogenes, genes which stimulate cell growth and have become hyperactive, while losses can signify under-expression of tumor suppressor genes, …

Modeling Vegetative Filter Performance With Vfsmod, Matthew J. Helmers, Dean E. Eisenhauer, Michael G. Dosskey, Thomas G. Franti
Matthew J. Helmers
The model VFSMOD was used to investigate the effect of varying watershed characteristics and buffer dimensions on the sediment trapping efficiency of vegetative filters. This investigation allows for a better understanding of how watershed characteristics, buffer dimensions, and storm characteristics impact the performance of vegetative filters. Using VFSMOD, relationships that estimate sediment trapping efficiency from the ratio of filter area and field area were developed for different sites. These relationships have been applied for field assessment of concentrated flow.

Constraints On Ground Motion At Yucca Mountain Provided By Precarious Rocks, Abdolrasool Anebshehpoor, James N. Brune, David Von Seggern, Kenneth D. Smith, Amy J. Smiecinski
Publications (YM)
This report describes the methodology and results of the use of precariously balanced rocks to study seismic hazard at Yucca Mountain, Nevada, the site of a potential geologic repository for high-level radioactive waste. Precarious rocks are effectively strong-motion seismoscopes that have been in for place thousands of years. Numerous precarious rocks exist in and near Solitario Canyon, Nevada, immediately above the site of the potential repository. Estimates of toppling accelerations using computer models, physical models, and field tests indicate these rocks would be toppled by ground acceleration of a few tenths of the acceleration of gravity (g). Rock-surface age dating …
Direct Observation Of Magnetic Domains In Phase Separated Nd0.7ca0.3mno3 Single Crystals, Xiaojuan Fan, Hideomi Koinuma, Tetsuya Hasegawa
Direct Observation Of Magnetic Domains In Phase Separated Nd0.7ca0.3mno3 Single Crystals, Xiaojuan Fan, Hideomi Koinuma, Tetsuya Hasegawa
Physics Faculty Research
The magnetic properties of single-crystalline Nd0.7Ca0.3MnO3 were studied with both macroscopic and microscopic probes. The magnetization shows large irreversibility behavior between zero-field-cooled and field-cooled data at low field, suggesting a phase separation driven by competition between ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic phases. The scanning superconducting quantum interference device microscope observations under zero field gave clear evidence that the compound includes ferromagnetic regions as the ground state below Tc. It was also found that two different phase-separated states appear, depending on temperature. At T∼125 K, weak but finite spontaneous magnetization develops, while the magnetization is abruptly enhanced …
An Examination Of Anomalously Low Column Ozone In The Southern Hemisphere Midlatitudes During 1997, Eugene C. Cordero, Terrence R. Nathan
An Examination Of Anomalously Low Column Ozone In The Southern Hemisphere Midlatitudes During 1997, Eugene C. Cordero, Terrence R. Nathan
Faculty Publications, Meteorology and Climate Science
[1] Observations from both ground-based and satellite instruments show record low column ozone abundance between 20°S and 40°S during 1997. The 1997 monthly averaged column ozone from the Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) is up to 25 Dobson units (DU) lower than the TOMS climatological mean (1979–1996) and up to 20 DU below the previous record low values. Observations from the Halogen Occultation Experiment show that below average ozone concentrations during 1997 were confined primarily to the lower stratosphere. Residual circulation statistics calculated from the United Kingdom Meteorological Office temperature analyses indicate that circulation anomalies during 1997 can account for …
European Starling
Other Publications in Wildlife Management
The European Starling (Sturnus vulgaris) is a native of Eurasia and North Africa. The starling can be described as a stocky, medium-sized black bird with a short tail. In flight, the starling has a distinctly triangular shape. Starlings breed from March through July. In spring and summer, breeding pairs disperse rather than stay with concentrated flocks. Nests are bulky collections of sticks, dried grasses, other fibers, paper and similar debris.
Topology Tracking For The Visualization Of Time-Dependent Two-Dimensional Flows, Xavier Tricoche, Thomas Wischgoll, Gerik Scheuermann, Hans Hagen
Topology Tracking For The Visualization Of Time-Dependent Two-Dimensional Flows, Xavier Tricoche, Thomas Wischgoll, Gerik Scheuermann, Hans Hagen
Computer Science and Engineering Faculty Publications
The paper presents a topology-based visualization method for time-dependent two-dimensional vector fields. A time interpolation enables the accurate tracking of critical points and closed orbits as well as the detection and identification of structural changes. This completely characterizes the topology of the unsteady flow. Bifurcation theory provides the theoretical framework. The results are conveyed by surfaces that separate subvolumes of uniform flow behavior in a three-dimensional space–time domain.

Ulf Waves In The Solar Wind As Direct Drivers Of Magnetospheric Pulsations, L. Kepko, Harlan E. Spence, H. J. Singer
Physics & Astronomy
[1] Global magnetospheric ULF pulsations with frequencies in the Pc 5 range (f = 1.7–6.7 mHz) and below have been observed for decades in space and on the Earth. Recent work has shown that in some cases these pulsations appear at discrete frequencies. Global cavity and waveguide modes have been offered as possible sources of such waves. In these models the magnetosphere is presumed to resonate globally at frequencies determined solely by its internal properties such as size, shape, field topology, mass density distribution, etc. We show in this work that upstream solar wind number density and dynamic pressure …
