Understanding the Owner’s Manual: the United States Constitution Examined Through the Lens of Technical Communication

This dissertation explores the collaborative process and use of language that went into the creating the United States Constitution in 1787. From a technical communication perspective, the collaborative process explored did not develop any new theories on collaboration, but instead, allows scholars to track the emergence of a well-documented America collaborative process from the early period of the developing American nation on a document that has remained in use for over 235 years. in addition to examining this collaborative process, the author also discusses the use of passive voice and negative language in the first article of the Constitution.

Carbon Calculator for Land Use Change From Biofuels Production (Cclub). Users' Manual and Technical Documentation. (open access)

Carbon Calculator for Land Use Change From Biofuels Production (Cclub). Users' Manual and Technical Documentation.

The Carbon Calculator for Land Use Change from Biofuels Production (CCLUB) calculates carbon emissions from land use change (LUC) for four different ethanol production pathways including corn grain ethanol and cellulosic ethanol from corn stover, miscanthus, and switchgrass. This document discusses the version of CCLUB released May 31, 2012 which includes corn, as did the previous CCLUB version, and three cellulosic feedstocks: corn stover, miscanthus, and switchgrass. CCLUB calculations are based upon two data sets: land change areas and above- and below-ground carbon content. Table 1 identifies where these data are stored and used within the CCLUB model, which is built in MS Excel. Land change area data is from Purdue University's Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) model, a computable general equilibrium (CGE) economic model. Section 2 describes the GTAP data CCLUB uses and how these data were modified to reflect shrubland transitions. Feedstock- and spatially-explicit below-ground carbon content data for the United States were generated with a surrogate model for CENTURY's soil organic carbon sub-model (Kwon and Hudson 2010) as described in Section 3. CENTURY is a soil organic matter model developed by Parton et al. (1987). The previous CCLUB version used more coarse domestic carbon emission factors. Above-ground …

Technical bases and user's manual for the prototype of a Suppression Pool Aerosol Removal Code (SPARC) (open access)

Technical bases and user's manual for the prototype of a Suppression Pool Aerosol Removal Code (SPARC)

This code was written to calculate the capture of aerosol particles in the pressure suppression pool (wet well) of a boiling water reactor under hypothetical accident conditions. The code incorporates five aerosol scrubbing models and two thermal-hydraulic models. The scrubbing models describe (1) steam condensation, (2) soluble particle growth in a humid atmosphere, (3) gravitational settling, (4) inertial deposition, (5) diffusional deposition. Mechanical entrainment of pool liquid by breaking of bubbles at the surface was also considered. An optional model for equilibrium pool temperature and a model for steam evaporation are the two thermal-hydraulic models used in the code. Steam evaporation was found to significantly retard deposition processes in pools near the boiling point. The code user supplies the values of several controlling variables in the code input. The SPARC output can include the decontamination factors (DF) of twenty different particle size groups, an overall DF for the whole particle distribution, particle log normal distribution parameters, and mass flow rates of particles (wet and dry) leaving the pool.

Material control system simulator program reference manual

A description is presented of a Material Control System Simulator (MCSS) program for determination of material accounting uncertainty and system response to particular adversary action sequences that constitute plausible material diversion attempts. The program is intended for use in situations where randomness, uncertainty, or interaction of adversary actions and material control system components make it difficult to assess safeguards effectiveness against particular material diversion attempts. Although MCSS may be used independently in the design or analysis of material handling and processing systems, it has been tailored toward the determination of material accountability and the response of material control systems to adversary action sequences.

NBC operation manual including the multi-position add-a-source function (open access)

NBC operation manual including the multi-position add-a-source function

This manual describes the design modifications and operating characteristics of a 200-l-drum neutron coincidence counter. The counter has six shielded banks of {sup 3}He tubes and JSR-11 shift register coincidence electronics. The modified design has a counting efficiency of 19.3%. The neutron counter measures the spontaneous-fission rate from the plutonium, and when this is combined with the plutonium isotopic ratios, we can determine the plutonium mass. The system includes the new multi-position add-a-source (AS) technique that uses a small {sup 252}Cf source to determine the drum`s matrix perturbation to the plutonium assay. The {sup 252}Cf source is measured at three positions on the exterior of the drum to obtain the spatial distribution for the matrix correction. This manual gives the performance and calibration parameters. The matrix corrections by the AS technique are accurate to a few percent for typical applications.

Uranium concentration monitor manual: 2300 system (open access)

Uranium concentration monitor manual: 2300 system

This manual describes the design, operation, and procedures for measurement control for the automated uranium concentration monitor on the 2300 solvent extraction system at the Oak Ridge Y-12 Plant. The nonintrusive monitor provides a near-real time readout of uranium concentration at two locations simultaneously in the solvent extraction system for process monitoring and control. Detectors installed at the top of the extraction column and at the bottom of the backwash column acquire spectra of gamma rays from the solvent extraction solutions in the columns. Pulse-height analysis of these spectra gives the concentration of uranium in the organic product of the extraction column and in the aqueous product of the solvent extraction system. The visual readouts of concentrations for process monitoring are updated every 2 min for both detection systems. Simultaneously, the concentration results are shipped to a remote computer that has been installed by Y-12 to demonstrate automatic control of the solvent extraction system based on input of near-real time process operation information. 8 refs., 13 figs., 4 tabs.
