The AM Her systems are widely believed to be cataclysmic variable systems in which the white dwarf has a magnetic field strong enough to lock the white dwarf to the companion star. The magnetic field channels the accretion flow to the magnetic polar caps of the white dwarf where the gas passes through a strong shock and the accretion energy is released. The continuum spectra of the AM Her systems have three major components: the ir/optical component, the EUV/soft x-ray component, and the hard x-ray component. Models of the AM Her systems generally agree that the hard x-rays are free-free radiation emitted by the hot postshock gas and that the optical component is electron cyclotron emission from the postshock gas. The soft x-ray component is less well understood, primarily because it is very soft (temperature less than 100 eV) and thus is very difficult to measure accurately with current instruments. Models agree that some soft x-ray emission will arise from hard x-rays and cyclotron radiation that is absorbed at the stellar surface and re-radiated, but other sources of soft x-rays have also been suggested. Thus it is important to develop models for the soft x-ray spectrum. This paper presents some …

The purpose of this report is to summarize the OH module connecting forces found as a result of the super-element modeling of the EC internal module structure. Although not presented here, this approach can also provide MH connecting forces and assembly deflections. This report includes only information on the OH connecting forces for various assumed connector schemes. The super-element machinery is in place to model other connector ideas, and provide information on overall deflections, MH connecting forces, and primary module stresses.

On October 8, 1983, after the first full day of production from Sand No.8 in the Gladys McCall well, samples of separator gas and separator brine were collected for laboratory P-V-T (pressure, volume, temperature) studies. Recombination of amounts of these samples based upon measured rates at the time of sample collection, and at reservoir temperature (290 F), revealed a bubble point pressure of 9200 psia. This is substantially below the reported reservoir pressure of 12,783 psia. The gas content of the recombined fluids was 30.19 SCF of dry gas/STB of brine. In contrast, laboratory studies indicate that 35.84 SCF of pure methane would dissolve in each STB of 95,000 mg/L sodium chloride brine. These results indicate that the reservoir brine was not saturated with natural gas. By early April, 1987, production of roughly 25 million barrels of brine had reduced calculated flowing bottomhole pressure to about 6600 psia at a brine rate of 22,000 STB/D. If the skin factor(s) were as high as 20, flowing pressure drop across the skin would still be only about 500 psi. Thus, some portion of the reservoir volume was believed to have been drawn down to below the bubble point deduced from the laboratory …

The purposes of the Integrated Testing Task are to develop laboratory data on thermodynamic properties for actinide and fission product elements for use in the EQ3/6 geochemical modelling code; to determine the transport properties of radionuclides in the near-field environment; and develop and validate a model to describe the rate of release of radionuclides from the near-field environment. Activities to achieve the firs item have been described in the Scientific Investigation Plan for EQ3/6, where quality assurance levels were assigned to the acitivities. This Scientific Investigation Plan describes activities to achieve the second and third purposes. The information gathered in these activities will be used to assess compliance with the performance objective for the Engineered Barrier System (EBS) to control the rate of release of radionuclides if the repository license application includes part of the host rock; to provide a source term for release of radionuclides from the waste package near-field environment to the system performance assessment task for use in showing compliance with the Environmental Protection Agency requirements; and to provide a source term for release of radionculides from the waste package near-field environment to the system performance assessment task for use in doing calculations of cumulative releases of …

This paper briefly deals with the problem of narrow band materials. It addresses a new theoretical approach to the fluctuation of valence electrons in rare earth elements. It is believed that the phenomena of interest arize from an instability of the partially filled d or f shell of certain atoms when they are put into a metallic host. The theoretical models which dominate the scene work with two local d or f states on one hand and a structureless sea of free conduction electrons on the other. This procedure ignores at least half of the essential physics; the other held is kept alive in the term valence fluctuation. Basically, what the prevalent models ignore is that, in all these systems, the entire atoms as the source of the anomalies are being dealt with, not just their f shells. In other words, there is important structure in the sea of conduction electrons.
