A new algorithm for solving a linear least-squares problem with linear constraints is presented. The constraints can be equality constraint equations and nonnegativity constraints on selected variables. This problem, while appearing to be quite special, is the core problem arising in the solution of the general linearly constrained linear least-squares problem. The reduction process of the general problem to the core problem can be done in many ways. Three such techniques are discussed. The method employed for solving the core problem is based on combining the equality constraints with differentially weighted least-squares equations to form an augmented least-squares system. This weighted least-squares system is solved with nonnegativity constraints on selected variables. Seven small examples, including a constrained least-squares curve fitting example, are presented. A reference to user instructions for subprograms to compute solutions of constrained least-squares problems is included. 3 figures, 9 tables.

An amplitude analysis of the K/sup -/K/sup +/ system produced in the reactions ..pi../sup -/p ..-->.. K/sup -/K/sup +/n and ..pi../sup +/n ..-->.. K/sup -/K/sup +/p was carried out using data from a high statistics experiment carried out with the Argonne Effective Mass Spectrometer. Combining the results from the two reactions allows the separation of the KantiK production amplitudes into their isospin-zero and one components. An enhancement is deserved in the S-wave amplitude near 1300 MeV which we call the S'. Using various physical arguments, including the t dependence of the amplitudes, six out of eight mathematically-allowed solutions can be eliminated for the magnitudes and phases of the amplitudes and shown that this new S-wave state has isospin zero. Requiring a reasonable behavior for the isospin-one P wave shows that the S' amplitude has a slow phase variation through the peak region.

Federal incentives for the development of solar energy are examined. A Federal incentive is any action that can be taken by the government to expand residential and commercial use of solar energy. The development of solar energy policy could be enhanced by identification, quantification, and analysis of Federal incentives that have been used to simulate the development of other forms of energy. The text of this report identifies, quantifies, and analyzes such incentives and relates them to current thought about solar energy. Four viewpoints used in this discussion come from 4 types of analysis: economic, political, organizational, and legal. The next chapter identifies actions (primarily domestic) that the Federal government has taken concerning energy. This analysis uses the typology of actions described in the previous chapter to identify actions, and the four viewpoints described there to determine whether an action concerns energy. Once identified, the actions are described and then quantified by an estimate of the 1976 cost of accomplishing them. Then incentives, investments, liabilities, regulations, and other factors are analyzed in detail for nuclear energy, hydroelectric power, coal, petroleum, and natural gas. Incentives of all energy sources are then discussed with respect to solar energy policy. (MCW)

The factual findings of DOE's Office of Fuels Regulation regarding No. 2 heating oil price data for the 1977-1978 heating season are presented. OFR's analysis was based on data gathered by the Energy Information Administration (EIA) in connection with the current program to monitor the prices of home heating oil. Results show that the average price paid by residential customers increased 5.2%; the average increase in the prices wholesalers charged other wholesalers and retailers was 1.6%; the average increase in prices that wholesalers paid refiners was 1.4%; and the refiner index was marginally exceeded twice during the heating season and, on average, refiner prices to wholesalers were below the guideline. Information is included on retail, wholesale, and refiners gross margins and on analytic constraints. (JRD)

The purpose of the program was to analyze and up-date the design of the Madaras Rotor Power Plant concept that had been developed in the 1930's to determine the technical and economic feasibility of this system to be competitive with conventional horizontal axis wind turbines. The Madaras concept uses rotating cylinders, vertically mounted on flat cars, to react with the wind like a sail and propel an endless train of connected cars around a closed track at constant speed. Electricity is generated by alternators on each car that are geared to the wheels. Electrical power is transmitted from each car to the power house by a trolley system. A four-task program consisting of a series of wind tunnel tests, an electro-mechanical analysis, a performance analysis, and a cost analysis was conducted.

The International Centre for Powder Diffraction Data has compiled an extensive powder diffraction database available on magnetic tape. The database was evaluated to determine the type and quality of the information it contains, including an analysis of d-I pairs per pattern, symmetry, quality marks, Q values, and intensities for subfiles of known crystal class. In addition, nine functions were evaluated to assess pattern quality for cubic and triclinic data. This document presents a minimum amount of data analysis, but concentrates on the distribution and statistics. It also describes how these data were obtained.

This report is an analysis of the President's Federal Water Policy initiatives of June 6, 1978. Recommendations were made on conservation, cost-sharing, planning procedures, and environmental protection.
