The information presented in this engineering note can be of value to others who wish to predict pumping times and water content of vessels containing G-IO material. Four predictions of the water content of the G-IO in the D-Zero Central Calorimeter (CC) are given. Experience from pumping on the NW A cryostat was used to help predict the pumpdown time required for the CC. The actual pumpdown time and water removal from the CC agrees quite well with those predicted which gives confidence for future predictions done using the information presented in this engineering note. A listing of the predictions and actual CC pumpdown particulars is given.

A letter from Jack Davis, co-director of North Texas Institute for Educators on the Visual Arts to colleague, James "Jim" J. Muro. In the letter Davis says that he has received a letter from Leland C. Clemons, Executive Vice President for the NCNB Texas in Fort Worth with a check for $77,870 from the Crystelle Waggoner Trust to be put into the Unrestricted gift account. Enclosed with the letter to Muro is the letter from Clemons to Davis.

Thin-layer chromatography (TLC) is a broadly applicable separation technique. It offers many advantages over high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), such as easily adapted for two-dimensional separation, for whole-column'' detection and for handling multiple samples, etc. However, due to its draggy development of detection techniques comparing with HPLC, TLC has not received the attention it deserves. Therefore, exploring new detection techniques is very important to the development of TLC. It is the principal of this dissertation to present a new detection method for TLC -- indirect fluorometric detection method. This detection technique is universal sensitive, nondestructive, and simple. This will be described in detail from Sections 1 through Section 5. Section 1 and 3 describe the indirect fluorometric detection of anions and nonelectrolytes in TLC. In Section 2, a detection method for cations based on fluorescence quenching of ethidium bromide is presented. In Section 4, a simple and interesting TLC experiment is designed, three different fluorescence detection principles are used for the determination of caffeine, saccharin and sodium benzoate in beverages. A laser-based indirect fluorometric detection technique in TLC is developed in Section 5. Section 6 is totally different from Sections 1 through 5. An ultrasonic effect on the separation of …

This paper discusses dendritic sidebranching; anisotropic surface tension; light scattering at the crystal-melt interface; and succinonitrite-dye mixtures.

Reaction pathways leading to the formation and cleavage of a transition metal-carbon bond at various oxidation states of the metal occupy a central position in understanding many enzymatic reactions and designing catalysts. The report is divided into six parts that (1) focus on the homolysis vs heterolysis of a C-Cr(III) bond, (2) describes a unique chain reaction and a S{sub E}2 reaction I{sub 2} and RCrL{sup 2+}, (3) concerns the oxidation of organochromium(III) complexes by dihalide and pseudo-dihalide radical anions generated by pulse radiolysis, (4) concentrates on the oxidation mechanism of RCr(H{sub 2}O){sup 2+} and the fate of RCr(H{sub 2}O){sup 3+} as well as the corresponding reduction potentials, (5) extends study of organocobalt complexes with attention to reduction induced cleavages of a transition metal-carbon bond, and (6) describes the crystallization of ((CH{sub 3}){sub 4}N)(Co(dmgBF{sub 2}){sub 2}py) and reports its molecular structure as determined by x-ray diffraction. 182 refs., 25 figs., 16 tabs.

During the 1988/1989 run at the Fermilab Tevatron, the CDF detector collected {approx equal}4.1 pb{sup {minus}1} of p{bar p} data at {radical}s = 1.8 TeV. The main goals of this run being physics at high p{sub t}, the CDF trigger was tuned'' for maximizing signals from Z{sup 0}s, Ws, t-quarks, etc. As such, compared to the high p{sub t} physics, the b-physics program was of secondary importance other than that which would be used for background calculations. Also, CDF had no vertex chamber capability for seeing displaced vertices. However, significant b-quark, physics results are evident in two data samples; inclusive electrons and inclusive J/{psi} where J/{psi} {yields} {mu}{sup +}{mu}{sup {minus}}. We can then ask ourselves, given all this, why is it that CDF is able to do b-quark physics The answer is that nature has been kind enough to provide b-quarks at an extremely high rate at the Tevatron. The production cross-section for b{bar b} production is quite large. In the rest of this paper, I will try to specify the goals for b-physics using the inclusive electrons and J/{psi} signals for the 1988/1989 data set. I will then provide a brief look at the data, and will finish with …

This is a summary of some of the many recent results from the CERN and Fermilab colliders, presented for an audience of nuclear, medium-energy, and elementary particle physicists. The topics are jets and QCD at very high energies, precision measurements of electroweak parameters, the remarkably heavy top quark, and new results on the detection of the large flux of B mesons produced at these machines. A summary and some comments on the bright prospects for the future of hadron colliders conclude the talk. 39 refs., 44 figs., 3 tabs.

A new way to characterize the performance of the LBL HIF ion source has been found. In the LBL source, ions are drawn from an arc-generated plasma reservoir in which the electrons are confined by a negative-biased switch'' mesh. Stagnation of the plasma is prevented by absorption of the excess ion flow on this mesh. The ion beam is generated by an external negative voltage that provides Child-Langmuir extraction of the ions through the switch mesh. We elucidate the physics requirements of the source and deduce switch mesh parameters needed for successful operation. 2 refs., 2 figs.
