Photocopy of a letter from Nancy Reynolds, Project Coordinator of North Texas Institute for Educators on the Visual Arts, to Dr. William Otton, Art Museum of South Texas. In regards to the seminar NTIEVA presented at the museum in August and how they will be meeting with Linda Eshom and Ola Underhill to discuss continuous collaboration. Reynolds writes that they have reserved the days of June 28 - July 1 and July 5 - 8, 1994 for Corpus Christi to discuss future seminars and the ways to best serve the teachers. Enclosed with the letter is an attached NTIEVA newsletter, which includes an article about the Corpus seminars.

The authors study the performance of feedforward artificial neural networks in forecasting future values of several different time series. They explore both short- and long-term prediction of several periodic time series. They find that a significant source of error in long-term prediction of time series is introduced by a phase shift between the network output and the time series. They explore the origin of this phase shift and suggest strategies for minimizing its effect. They find that the phase diagrams of the time series and the neural network forecast contain useful diagnostic information.

This technical report investigates the feasibility of a Crystalline Beam in a weak-focussing storage ring like a Betatron. At the same time the curvature effect due to the bending magnet is also investigated. As a special case, the example of a circular one-dimensional string of electrically charged particles is examined. It is found that the motion of the particles is unstable due to the dependence of the precession movement with respect to each other on their radial displacement. That is a form of negative-mass instability which can be avoided with an alternating-focussing structure corresponding to a transition energy above the energy of the particles. The calculation of the particle-particle interaction as well as of the forces due to the external magnetic field is done directly in the laboratory frame. The retarded potential expressions are used at this purpose.

The accuracy associated with assessing the environmental consequences of an accidental atmospheric release of radioactivity is highly dependent on our knowledge of the source release rate which is generally poorly known. This paper reports on a technique that integrates the radiological measurements with atmospheric dispersion modeling for more accurate source term estimation. We construct a minimum least squares methodology for solving the inverse problem with no a priori information about the source rate.

The United States is emerging from the Cold War era into an exciting, but challenging future. Improving the economic competitiveness of our Nation is essential both for improving the quality of life in the United States and maintaining a strong national security. The research and technical skills used to maintain a leading edge in defense and energy now should be used to help meet the challenge of maintaining, regaining, and establishing US leadership in industrial technologies. Companies recognize that success in the world marketplace depends on products that are at the leading edge of technology, with competitive cost, quality, and performance. Los Alamos National Laboratory and its Industrial Partnership Center (IPC) has the strategic goal to make a strong contribution to the nation`s economic competitiveness by leveraging the government`s investment at the Laboratory: personnel, infrastructure, and technological expertise.

By a memorandum dated September 16, 1992, Office of Federal Procurement Policy OFPP requested that the DOE, Office of Inspector General, conduct a ``special`` audit of the nature and adequacy of DOE`s FFRDC sole-source renegotiation justifications developed since 1985. The OFPP request was based on a July 8, 1992 Senate Subcommittee on Oversight of Government Management report entitled ``Inadequate Federal Oversight of Federally Funded Research and Development Centers,`` which detailed the need for strengthened federal controls over FFRDCs. The Office of Inspector General initiated an inspection in order to review and describe the Department`s history of designating its research laboratories as FFRDCs, and to review the Department`s compliance with the OFPP policy and procedures for establishing and renewing its FFRDCs. We also reviewed DOE`s sole-source renegotiation justifications to non-competitively extend its M&O contractors that manage DOE`s FFRDCs since September 30, 1984.
