Pulsed laser stereo photography of electrically exploded bridges (open access)

Pulsed laser stereo photography of electrically exploded bridges

A technique is described for obtaining short exposure (approximately 8 ns) high resolution photomicrographs of electrically exploded bridges using a pulsed laser for bridge illumination and band-pass filters to eliminate the intense self light. Two cameras are described, one for a small field of view (approximately 1 mm) and one for a relatively large field of view (approximately 20 mm). A carbon disulfide cell and a fiber-optic light guide are used to essentially eliminate speckle, which normally limits the resolution of laser photographs of diffuse surfaces. A series of photomicrographs showing the detailed burst characteristics of both flat and round bridges are shown.

Studies of Charged Particle Distributions in an Electrostatic Confinement System. Progress Report, 1 November 1971--31 January 1976 (open access)

Studies of Charged Particle Distributions in an Electrostatic Confinement System. Progress Report, 1 November 1971--31 January 1976

Microwave cavity techniques were used to measure electron density in a spherical, inertial-electrostatic confinement device using six ion guns. The density was roughly proportional to ion current (1 to 17 mA) and decreased somewhat with increasing ion energy (10 to 37 keV). With D$sub 2$ pressure decrease from 10 to 3 mTorr, n/sub e/ decreased faster than linearly and below approximately 3 mTorr decreased linearly with pressure down to the lowest pressure of 0.4 mTorr. At 1 mTorr and 10 mA, measurements (with poor spatial resolution) were consistent with 10$sup 10$ total electrons and a central n/sub e/ of 10$sup 9$ electrons/cm$sup 3$. Neutron flux (at 50 keV) was about one sixth that of Hirsch (J. Appl. Phys. 38, 4522 (1967)). Six- vs. three-gun operation showed a small enhancement of both n/sub e/ and neutron flux that may indicate some particle trapping.

A Self-Control Approach to Weight Control (open access)

A Self-Control Approach to Weight Control

A strategy for facilitating post-treatment weight maintenance was examined. Subjects were matched for age, sex, and amount of weight that they desired to lose and were then assigned to one of two groups. Both groups were under contracts and had individually designed self-control programs for weight loss, but subjects in the experimental group lost weight in small steps and subjects in the control group lost weight continuously. The experimental group was predicted to have better weight maintenance after treatment because of a greater number of reinforcements for weight loss. Two-month follow-up data was obtained on the ten subjects who completed the study, and the experimental group was found to have regained significantly less than the control group after treatment ended. The implications of these results for obesity research are discussed.

Study of efficient high-power, high-energy neutral beams for the Reference Mirror Reactor (open access)

Study of efficient high-power, high-energy neutral beams for the Reference Mirror Reactor

An injector design for the Reference Mirror Reactor is described which uses negative ions created by charge-exchange in a cesium vapor cell and neutralized by photodetachment. Some of the innovations discussed include a continuously operating cathode for an LBL/LLL ion source, a negative ion beam line with cooled grids, a high voltage accelerator configuration with insulators shielded from the neutron and gamma flux, and cryopanels which continuously cycle between pumping and outgassing modes.

Geochemical and hydrologic data for wells and springs in thermal-spring areas of the Appalachians (open access)

Geochemical and hydrologic data for wells and springs in thermal-spring areas of the Appalachians

Current interest in geothermal potential of thermal-spring areas in the Appalachians makes all data on thermal springs and wells in these areas valuable. Presented here without interpretive comment are maps showing selected springs and wells and tables of physical and chemical data pertaining to these wells and springs. The chemical tables show compositions of gases (oxygen, nitrogen, argon, methane, carbon dioxide, and helium), isotope contents (tritium, carbon (13), and oxygen (18)), trace and minor element chemical data, and the usual complete chemical data.

Hartree--Fock energy curves, for BrH/sup +/ (X /sup 2/PI), KrH/sup +/ (X/sup 1/. sigma. /sup +/), and RbH/sup +/ (X /sup 2/. sigma. /sup +/). I. Preliminary calculatons (open access)

Hartree--Fock energy curves, for BrH/sup +/ (X /sup 2/PI), KrH/sup +/ (X/sup 1/. sigma. /sup +/), and RbH/sup +/ (X /sup 2/. sigma. /sup +/). I. Preliminary calculatons

Restricted Hartree-Fock calculations for the ground electronic states of BrH/sup +/, KrH/sup +/, and RbH/sup +/ have been carried out using carefully selected nominal atomic basis sets for the heavy atoms, supplemented with an additional orbital designed to allow for a better description of atomic distortion at intermediate internuclear separations. A flexible four-function basis set was used on the hydrogen atom. Molecular optimization was carried out for the heavy-atom distortion orbital and also for the hydrogen 2p orbital. The interatomic potentials obtained for the X /sup 2/PI state of BrH/sup +/ and the X /sup 1/..sigma../sup +/ state of KrH/sup +/ show strong molecular binding (i.e., 3-4 eV) relative to the neutral heavy atoms plus a proton. The RbH/sup +/ X /sup 2/..sigma../sup +/ calculations give a repulsive interatomic potential with dissociation to Rb/sup +/ and a neutral hydrogen atom.

Continental Shelf Processes Effecting the Oceanography of the South Atlantic Bight. Hydrography of Onslow Bay, North Carolina: September 1975 (OBIS II). Progress Report (open access)

Continental Shelf Processes Effecting the Oceanography of the South Atlantic Bight. Hydrography of Onslow Bay, North Carolina: September 1975 (OBIS II). Progress Report

Over the course of OBIS II, 3-14 September, two intrusion cores were observed. One was apparently trapped nearshore over much of the study period, but as time went on, it either dissipated, moved too far shoreward or moved too far laterally along the shelf to be detected by the existing observational grid. The other (later) intrusion was first detected on 5-7 September and was observed to be moving into the Bay from the southeast over the remainder of the study period. Plots of the horizontal temperature and salinity distribution were suggestive of these phenomenon by means of the higher salinity-lower temperature relationship. However, the real confirmation rests in the vertical distributions of sigma-t and chlorophyll presented in conjunction with the Bio and Hydrogrids, and the T--S plot which reveals slope waters on the shelf. The intruded waters were not of low enough temperature to carry high nutrient concentrations onto the shelf for study. However, the general results of this study tend to confirm the view that our basic grid array and methods are compatible with measurement of the processes we initially set out to study. Analyses of these data relative to the current meter data will allow a nearly complete …

Critical phenomena and exchange interactions of an amorphous ferromagnet: gadolinium--gold. [80 Gd--20 Au] (open access)

Critical phenomena and exchange interactions of an amorphous ferromagnet: gadolinium--gold. [80 Gd--20 Au]

Magnetization was measured between 4 and 290/sup 0/K in fields up to 70 kOe on liquid-quenched Gd/sub 80/Au/sub 20/ amorphous alloys. The Curie temperature and critical exponents ..beta.., ..gamma.. and delta are found to be 149.45/sup 0/K, 0.439, 1.294 and 3.948 respectively. These values are compared with the Heisenberg and molecular field values. The data are fitted to an equation of state previously derived for second order phase transition in fluid systems. The results illustrate clearly a second order phase transition in the amorphous state. A discussion in terms of the Heisenberg model is presented. The effective magnetic moment in the paramagnetic state has a value of 9.37 ..mu../sub B/ per gadolinium atom. The saturation moment extrapolated to 0/sup 0/K is 7.0 ..mu../sub B/ per gadolinium atom. The low temperature saturation magnetization observes the T/sup /sup 3///sub 2// law from 0.13 T/sub c/ to 0.80 T/sub c/. The effective exchange integrals J/sub n/ determined from the Rushbrooke--Wood formula and spin-wave theory are found to be 2.28 and 1.34/sup 0/K respectively. The differences in J/sub n/ and that between the effective moment and saturation moment are attributed to the nearest-neighbor antiferromagnetic couplings below T/sub c/. Possible effects of structural disorder on …
