The Euro: Implications for the United States--Answers to Key Questions

Other written product issued by the General Accounting Office with an abstract that begins "Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information on the euro, focusing on: (1) what the euro is and why Europe is moving to it now; (2) what the potential effects of the euro are on the dollar; (3) what are the potential monetary policy and exchange rate effects of the euro; (4) what are the euro's implications for U.S. trade and investment with Europe; and (5) what are the implications of the euro for international economic policymaking. GAO noted that: (1) the euro is the new currency being used by 11 of the 15 countries that are members of the European Union (EU); (2) the euro is part of an initiative known as the European Economic and Monetary Union and is designed to more closely link EU's economic policies; (3) a variety of factors will determine whether the emergence of the euro will have a significant impact on the international role of the dollar; (4) over the longer term, several analysts believe that the comparative status of the dollar and euro as international currencies may be affected by potential developments in the euro area payments …

Experimental Determination of Contaminant Metal Mobility as a Function of Temperature, Time and Solution Chemistry (open access)

Experimental Determination of Contaminant Metal Mobility as a Function of Temperature, Time and Solution Chemistry

During the FY96-FY99 funding cycle we examined the uptake of aqueous strontium onto goethite, kaolinite, and amorphous silica surfaces as a function of pH, total strontium, and temperature. Our overall goal was to produce a mechanistic sorption model that can be used in reaction-transport calculations to predict the mobility and attenuation of radioactive strontium ({sup 90}Sr)in the environment. Our approach was to combine structural information derived from EXAFS analysis together with macroscopic uptake data and surface complexation models to clarify the physical and chemical structure of sorbed complexes. We chose to study these solids because of the prevalence of clays and iron hydroxides in natural systems, and because silica colloids probably form beneath leaking tanks at Hanford as caustic waste is neutralized. We have published the spectroscopic work in two papers in the Journal of Colloid and Interface Science [1, 2], and will soon submit at third manuscript to Geochemical Transactions [3] combining the sorption and spectroscopic data with a mechanistic complexation model. Early in the study we learned that strontium sorption was independent of temperature (25 to 80 C). All subsequent work was conducted at room temperature.

Extension and Enhancement Methods for Setting Data Quality Objectives (open access)

Extension and Enhancement Methods for Setting Data Quality Objectives

The project developed statistical tools for the application of decision theory and operations research methods, including cost-benefit analysis, to the DQO process for environmental clean up. A pilot study was conducted, using these methods at the Hanford site, to estimate vadose zone contamination plumes under the SX tank farm, and to help plan further sampling.

The FET1 Level 1 Method: Theory and Implementation (open access)

The FET1 Level 1 Method: Theory and Implementation

This report summarizes our experiences in developing a prototype serial code for the implementation of the Level 1 Finite Element Tearing and Interconnecting (FETI) method. This method is a non-overlapping domain-decomposition scheme for the parallel solution of ill-conditioned systems of linear equations arising in structural mechanics problems. The FETI method has been shown to be numerically scalable for second order elasticity and fourth order plate and shell problems. In this report, we first outline the theory underlying the FETI method and discuss the approaches taken to improve the robustness and convergence of the method. We next provide implementation details, focusing on our serial prototype code. Finally, we present experimental results, followed by a summary of our observations.

Field dependent dopant deactivation in bipolar devices at elevated irradiation temperatures (open access)

Field dependent dopant deactivation in bipolar devices at elevated irradiation temperatures

Dopant deactivation at 100 C is measured in bipolar Si-SiO{sub 2} structures as a function of irradiation bias. The deactivation occurs most efficiently at small biases in depletion and is consistent with passivation and compensation mechanisms involving hydrogen.

Finite element meshing approached as a global minimization process (open access)

Finite element meshing approached as a global minimization process

The ability to generate a suitable finite element mesh in an automatic fashion is becoming the key to being able to automate the entire engineering analysis process. However, placing an all-hexahedron mesh in a general three-dimensional body continues to be an elusive goal. The approach investigated in this research is fundamentally different from any other that is known of by the authors. A physical analogy viewpoint is used to formulate the actual meshing problem which constructs a global mathematical description of the problem. The analogy used was that of minimizing the electrical potential of a system charged particles within a charged domain. The particles in the presented analogy represent duals to mesh elements (i.e., quads or hexes). Particle movement is governed by a mathematical functional which accounts for inter-particles repulsive, attractive and alignment forces. This functional is minimized to find the optimal location and orientation of each particle. After the particles are connected a mesh can be easily resolved. The mathematical description for this problem is as easy to formulate in three-dimensions as it is in two- or one-dimensions. The meshing algorithm was developed within CoMeT. It can solve the two-dimensional meshing problem for convex and concave geometries in a …
