Forest Landscape Dynamics: a Semi-Markov Modeling Approach (open access)

Forest Landscape Dynamics: a Semi-Markov Modeling Approach

A transition model (MOSAIC) is used to describe forest dynamics at the landscape scale. The model uses a semi-Markov framework by considering transition probabilities and Erlang distributed holding times in each transition. Parameters for the transition model are derived from a gap model (ZELIG). This procedure ensures conceptual consistency of the landscape model with the fine scale ecological detail represented by the forest gap model. Spatial heterogeneity in the transition model is driven by maps of terrain with characteristics contained in a Geographic Information System (GIS) database. The results of the transition model simulations, percent cover forest type maps, are exported to grid-maps in the GIS. These cover type maps can be classified and used to describe forest dynamics using landscape statistics metrics. The linkage model-GIS enhances the transition model spatial analytical capabilities. A parameterization algorithm was developed that takes as input gap model tracer files which contain the percent occupation of each cover type through time. As output, the algorithm produces a file that contains the parameter values needed for MOSAIC for each one of the possible transitions. Parameters for the holding time distribution were found by calculating an empirical estimate of the cumulative probability function and using a …

Laves intermetallics in stainless steel-zirconium alloys (open access)

Laves intermetallics in stainless steel-zirconium alloys

Laves intermetallics have a significant effect on properties of metal waste forms being developed at Argonne National Laboratory. These waste forms are stainless steel-zirconium alloys that will contain radioactive metal isotopes isolated from spent nuclear fuel by electrometallurgical treatment. The baseline waste form composition for stainless steel-clad fuels is stainless steel-15 wt.% zirconium (SS-15Zr). This article presents results of neutron diffraction measurements, heat-treatment studies and mechanical testing on SS-15Zr alloys. The Laves intermetallics in these alloys, labeled Zr(Fe,Cr,Ni){sub 2+x}, have both C36 and C15 crystal structures. A fraction of these intermetallics transform into (Fe,Cr,Ni){sub 23}Zr{sub 6} during high-temperature annealing; the authors have proposed a mechanism for this transformation. The SS-15Zr alloys show virtually no elongation in uniaxial tension, but exhibit good strength and ductility in compression tests. This article also presents neutron diffraction and microstructural data for a stainless steel-42 wt.% zirconium (SS-42Zr) alloy.

The migration and entrapment of DNAPLs in physically and chemically heterogeneous porous media. Annual progress report, September 15, 1996--August 25, 1997 (open access)

The migration and entrapment of DNAPLs in physically and chemically heterogeneous porous media. Annual progress report, September 15, 1996--August 25, 1997

'The overall objective of this research is to investigate the influence of coupled physical and chemical heterogeneity on the migration and entrapment of DNAPLs in the saturated zone. This research includes laboratory and numerical investigations for a matrix of fluid and solid properties encompassing a range of wettability characteristics. Specific objectives include: (1) quantification of medium wettability and interfacial tensions; (2) determination of hydraulic property relations; (3) two-dimensional infiltration experiments; (4) modification of a continuum based multiphase flow simulator to account for physical heterogeneity, saturation independent and saturation dependent wettability, and concentration dependent wettability and interfacial tension; and (5) utilization of this model to explore the potential influence of coupled physical and chemical heterogeneities on the migration of DNAPLs and the development of innovative remediation schemes. Research conducted during this period was directed primarily towards the accomplishment of goals (1), (2), (4) and (5); specific details are given below. Goal (3) builds upon results from the other objectives and will, therefore, be started in the coming year.'

Assessment of California reformulated gasoline impact on vehicle fuel economy (open access)

Assessment of California reformulated gasoline impact on vehicle fuel economy

Fuel economy data contained in the 1996 California Air Resources Board (CARB) report with respect to the introduction of California Reformulated Gasoline (CaRFG) has been examined and reanalyzed by two additional statistical methodologies. Additional data has also been analyzed by these two statistical approaches. Within the assumptions of the analysis, point estimates for the reduction in fuel economy using CaRFG as compared to conventional, non-reformulated gasoline were 2-4%, with a 95% upper confidence bound of 6%. Substantial variations in fuel economy are routine and inevitable due to additional factors which affect mileage, even if there is no change in fuel reformulation. This additional analysis confirms the conclusion reached by CARB with respect to the impact of CaRFG on fuel economy.

Thermodynamics of insulated pressure vessels for vehicular hydrogen storage (open access)

Thermodynamics of insulated pressure vessels for vehicular hydrogen storage

This paper studies the application of insulated pressure vessels for hydrogen-fueled light-duty vehicles. Insulated pressure vessels can store liquid hydrogen (LH2); low-temperature (90 K) compressed hydrogen (CH2); or ambient temperature CH2. In this analysis, hydrogen temperatures, pressures and venting losses am calculated for insulated pressure vessels fueled with LH2 or with low-temperature CH2, and the results are compared to those obtained in low-pressure LH2 tanks. Hydrogen losses are calculated as a function of daily driving distance during normal operation; as a function of time during long periods of vehicle inactivity; and as a function of initial vessel temperature during fueling. The number of days before any venting losses occur is also calculated as a function of the daily driving distance. The results show that insulated pressure vessels have packaging characteristics comparable to those of conventional, low-pressure LH2 tanks (low weight and volume), with greatly improved dormancy and much lower boil-off. Insulated pressure vessels used in a 17 km/l (40 mpg) car do not lose any hydrogen when the car is driven at least 15 km/day in average. Since almost all cars are driven for longer distances, most cars would never lose any hydrogen. Losses during long periods of parking are …

Spin distributions for {sup 64}Ni+{sup 100}Mo with the Argonne/Notre Dame BGO-array (open access)

Spin distributions for {sup 64}Ni+{sup 100}Mo with the Argonne/Notre Dame BGO-array

The experimental representation of the fusion barrier distribution from the second derivative, d{sup 2}(E{sigma}{sub fus})/dE{sup 2}, was the basis for a series of precise measurements of the fusion excitation function. As an alternative approach, it has been proposed recently that the first derivative of the compounds nucleus (CN) spin distribution is equivalent to d{sup 2}(E{sigma}{sub fus})/dE{sup 2}. Multiplicity distributions for the reactions {sup 64}Ni+{sup 100}Mo and {sup 32}S+{sup 110}Pd have been measured making use of the Argonne/Notre Dame-BGO-array and GASP, respectively. In particular, the influence of fission on the high spin tail of the spin distribution and the consequences for the experimental representation of the distribution of barriers is discussed for {sup 64}Ni+{sup 100}Mo.

Electromagnetic interactions for the two-body spectator equations (open access)

Electromagnetic interactions for the two-body spectator equations

This paper presents a new non-associative algebra which is used to (1) show how the spectator (or Gross) two-body equations and electromagnetic currents can be formally derived from the Bethe-Salpeter equation and currents if both are treated to all orders, (2) obtain explicit expressions for the Gross two-body electromagnetic currents valid to any order, and (3) prove that the currents so derived are exactly gauge invariant when truncated consistently to any finite order. In addition to presenting these new results, this work complements and extends previous treatments based largely on the analysis of sums of Feynman diagrams.

Lagrangian with off-shell vertices and field redefinitions (open access)

Lagrangian with off-shell vertices and field redefinitions

Meson exchange diagrams following from a lagrangian with off-shell meson-nucleon couplings are compared with those generated from conventional dynamics. The off-shell interactions can be transformed away with the help of a nucleon field redefinition. Contributions to the NN- and 3N-potentials and nonminimal contact e.m. meson-exchange currents are discussed, mostly for an important case of scalar meson exchange.
