Taxes and Offshore Outsourcing (open access)

Taxes and Offshore Outsourcing

This report discusses the impact of taxes on international trade and investment has been debated for decades. Most recently, a variety of bills addressing international taxation have been introduced in the 110th Congress—some would cut taxes for U.S. firms overseas, while others would increase taxes on foreign investment. The debate over taxes and foreign outsourcing has tended to grow more heated during times of domestic economic weakness and high unemployment; questions arise over whether taxes contribute to such weakness by discouraging exports (or encouraging imports) or by encouraging U.S. firms to move abroad. The debate over international taxation has again become prominent as a part of the wider debate over “outsourcing.” With taxes, the debate asks how the current system affects outsourcing, and whether policies designed to limit the phenomenon might be desirable.

Technologies and Policies to Improve Energy Efficiency in Industry (open access)

Technologies and Policies to Improve Energy Efficiency in Industry

The industrial sector consumes nearly 40% of annual global primary energy use and is responsible for a similar share of global energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Many studies and actual experience indicate that there is considerable potential to reduce the amount of energy used to manufacture most commodities, concurrently reducing CO2 emissions. With the support of strong policies and programs, energy-efficient technologies and measures can be implemented that will reduce global CO2 emissions. A number of countries, including the Netherlands, the UK, and China, have experience implementing aggressive programs to improve energy efficiency and reduce related CO2 emissions from industry. Even so, there is no silver bullet and all options must be pursued if greenhouse gas emissions are to be constrained to the level required to avoid significant negative impacts from global climate change.

Temperature dependence of the interface moments in Co2MnSi thin films (open access)

Temperature dependence of the interface moments in Co2MnSi thin films

X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) is utilized to explore the temperature dependence of the interface moments in Co{sub 2}MnSi (CMS) thin films capped with aluminium. By increasing the thickness of the capping layer we demonstrate enhanced interface sensitivity of the measurements and the existence of a thin Mn oxide layer at the CMS/Al interface even when a thick capping layer is used. We show that for well ordered L2{sub 1} CMS films there is no significant variation in either the Co or Mn interface moments as a function of temperature. However, a dramatic reduction in the interface moments at low temperature is observed in a disordered CMS film that is likely to be caused by increased Mn-Mn antiferromagnetic coupling. It is suggested that for ordered L2{sub 1} CMS films the temperature dependence of the tunneling magnetoresistance is not related to changes in the interface moments. However, the existence of residual Mn oxide at the CMS/barrier interface could be a contributing factor.

Temperature response of 129Xe depolarization transfer and its application for ultra-sensitive NMR detection (open access)

Temperature response of 129Xe depolarization transfer and its application for ultra-sensitive NMR detection

Temporary trapping of atomic xenon in functionalized cryptophane cages makes the high sensitivity of hyperpolarized (hp) 129Xe available for highly specific NMR detection of biomolecules like proteins in solution. Here, we study the signal transfer onto a reservoir of unbound hp xenon by gating the residence time of the nuclei in the cage through the temperature-dependent exchange rate. Temperature changes were detectable immediately as an altered reservoir signal and yielded a sensitivity of 0.6 K. The temperature response is adjustable with lower concentrations of caged xenon providing more sensitivity at higher temperatures and allows ultra-sensitive detection of such molecular cages at 310 K. Functionalized cryptophane could be detected at concentrations as low as 10nM which corresponds to a 4000-fold sensitivity enhancement compared to conventional detection. This sensitivity makes hp-NMR capable of detecting such constructs in concentrations far belowthe detection limit by UV-visible light absorbance.

Test and Demonstration Assets of New Mexico (open access)

Test and Demonstration Assets of New Mexico

This document was developed by the Arrowhead Center of New Mexico State University as part of the National Security Preparedness Project (NSPP), funded by a DOE/NNSA grant. The NSPP has three primary components: business incubation, workforce development, and technology demonstration and validation. The document contains a survey of test and demonstration assets in New Mexico available for external users such as small businesses with security technologies under development. Demonstration and validation of national security technologies created by incubator sources, as well as other sources, are critical phases of technology development. The NSPP will support the utilization of an integrated demonstration and validation environment.

Test of the consistency of various linearized semiclassical initial value time correlation functions in application to inelastic neutron scattering from liquid para-hydrogen (open access)

Test of the consistency of various linearized semiclassical initial value time correlation functions in application to inelastic neutron scattering from liquid para-hydrogen

The linearized approximation to the semiclassical initial value representation (LSC-IVR) is used to calculate time correlation functions relevant to the incoherent dynamic structure factor for inelastic neutron scattering from liquid para-hydrogen at 14 K. Various time correlations functions were used which, if evaluated exactly, would give identical results, but they do not because the LSC-IVR is approximate. Some of the correlation functions involve only linear operators, and others involve non-linear operators. The consistency of the results obtained with the various time correlation functions thus provides a useful test of the accuracy of the LSC-IVR approximation and its ability to treat correlation functions involving both linear and nonlinear operators in realistic anharmonic systems. The good agreement of the results obtained from different correlation functions, their excellent behavior in the spectral moment tests based on the exact moment constraints, and their semi-quantitative agreement with the inelastic neutron scattering experimental data all suggest that the LSC-IVR is indeed a good short-time approximation for quantum mechanical correlation functions.
