Electron microscopy of hydrocarbon production in parthenium argentatum (guayule)

Description: The electron microscope was used to study the biological processes involved in hydrocarbon production. The little desert shrub Guayule (Parthenium argentatum) was selected for study. This shrub can produce hydrocarbons (rubber) in concentrations up to 1/4 of its dry weight. It grows on semi-arid land and has been extensively studied. The potential of Guayule is described in detail. Results of an investigation into the morphology of Guayule at the electron microscope level are given. Experiments… more

Investigation of high energy runaway electron confinement in the Oak Ridge tokamak

Description: High energy runaway electrons in the Oak Ridge tokamak ORMAK have been investigated through measurement of the bremsstrahlung produced when these electrons leave the discharge and strike the limiting aperture of the torus. The experimental results have been interpreted in terms of a classical single-particle model appropriate for collisionless particles in a tokamak, and it has been found that most of the confinement properties of high energy runaways in ORMAK can be understood on this basis.

Investigations in silicate glasses. I. Radiation damage. II. Optical nonlinearity. [Gamma rays and electrons]

Description: The investigation of two poorly understood but technologically important physical properties of silicate glasses and related materials is described. The use of Electron Paramagnetic Resonance to investigate the nature of radiation-induced damage in glasses exposed to a variety of high-energy radiation sources is discussed first. Second, the measurement of the nonlinear index of refraction coefficient in a variety of optical materials related to the design of high-power laser systems is describe… more

THE INTERACTION OF THE Eco RI RESTRICTION ENZYME FROM E.coli WITH NUCLEOTIDES

Description: The Eco R1 restriction enzyme can be shown to be inhibited by nucleotides which correspond to any part of its known site of phosphodiesterase activity. A series of di-, tetra-, and hexa-nucleotide fragments were synthesized and their effect on the activity of the enzyme upon superhelical Co1 E1 DNA studied. The inhibition caused by the individual mononucleotides were also studied. In general all the nucleotide fragments showed some form of interaction with the enzyme system. Tetranucleotides we… more

Molecular beam kinetics

Description: The design of a crossed molecular beam ''supermachine'' for neutral-- neutral collisions is discussed. The universal electron bombardment ionizer, mass filter, and ion detection system of the detector, the supersonic nozzle sources, the differential pumping arrangement for the sources and detector, the time-of-flight detection of scattered products, and the overall configuration of the apparatus are described. The elastic scattering of two systems, CH$sub 4$ + Ar and NH$sub 3$ + Ar, has been me… more

Design and Scale Model Test Results of a Severely Modified Rao Contour Nozzle

Description: This thesis describes the design, selection and scale model test results of a contour design for a convectively-cooled, ground test nozzle extension which originates at an area ratio of 5:1 (termination point of main nozzle).

Capillary permeability and lymph flow in the irradiated rat

Description: Thesis. Exposure of rats to 700 rads whole-body /sup 60/Co gamma irradiation increased capillary permeabilily by 47% and increased lymph flow by 124% 48 hrs following irradiation, while exposure to 1000 rads caused an increase of capillary permeability of 98%, but did not change lymph flow from control values. The latter result may have been due to the relative dehydration and immobility of the 1000 rad group. Rats drinking large quantities of 5% dextrose + 0.7% NaCl solution did not increase l… more

Properties of tunnel junctions with fluorocarbon dielectric barriers

Description: Thesis. The electrical characteristics of In/I/In and In/I/Pb superconducting tunnel junctions have been studied in detail. Since In does not readily form pinhole free oxide layers, a thin insulating dielectric was formed on freshly deposited In film by passing an electric discharge through an atmosphere of fluorocarbon gas. Junctions were then completed by depositing a thin counter electrode of In or Pb. The same process was used to prepare high resistance junctions with Au as the base electro… more

Strong turbulence and the anomalous length of stored particle beams

Description: A theoretical analysis is made of the longitudinal stability of intense beams of charged particles in high energy storage rings. The effect of externally applied radiofrequency fields, i.e., synchrotron oscillations, is included. For electron and positron beams, the damping and quantum excitation due to particle radiation are also included. A criterion for the stability of small longitudinal plasma oscillations is derived and used to obtain the stable size of intense stored beams of electrons a… more

Electron microscopy studies of ion implanted silicon

Description: The nature of defects resulting from the implantation of phosphorous ions into doped silicon and a model of how they form are reported. This involved an electron microscope study of the crystallographic defects (in the 300A size range in concentration of 10$sup 15$/cm$sup 3$) that form upon annealing. Images formed by these crystallographic defects are complex and that nonconventional imaging techniques are required for their characterization. The images of these small defects (about 300A) are … more

Observation of the submillimeter cosmic background spectrum

Description: An experimental measurement of the spectrum of the submillimeter cosmic background radiation is described. The experiment consists of measuring the night sky emission at an altitude of 39 km, correcting for the atmospheric molecular line emission, and placing limits on the contamination from sources of continuum radiation such as the apparatus itself and the earth. The observations were made on 24 July 1974 using a fully calibrated liquid-helium-cooled balloon- borne spectrophotometer. Importan… more

Measurement of the $pi$$sup -$p $Yields$ $pi$$sup 0$n and $pi$$sup -$p $Yields$ eta n differential cross sections at beam momenta from 20 to 200 GeV/c

Description: The results of a measurement of the $pi$$sup -$p $Yields$ $pi$$sup 0$n and $pi$$sup -$p $Yields$ eta n differential cross sections at six pion beam momenta from 20 to 200 GeV/c are presented. The data for these cross sections were collected at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Batavia, Illinois. A 73.5 x 73.5 cm lead--scintillator hodoscope was used to detect the two photons from the decay of the $pi$$sup 0$ and the eta; all other reactions were eliminated by detection of their charg… more

Nucleus--nucleus total cross sections for light nuclei at 1.55 and 2.89 GeV/ C/nucleon

Description: Total cross sections have been measured for protons, deuterons, alphas, and $sup 12$C on hydrogen, deuterium, helium, and carbon targets at 1.55 and 2.89 GeV/c/nucleon using the ''good geometry'' transmission method. In addition, the inelastic cross sections and elastic slope parameters were measured for reactions initiated by deuterons, alphas, and $sup 12$C. The factorization relation sigma/ sub T/(AA) = sigma/sub T/(AB)$sup 2$/sigma/sub T/(BB) is violated for some of these reactions. The res… more

El Desarrollo de los Caracteres Anormales en las Obras de Emilia Pardo Bazán

Description: The purpose of this investigation is to determine the change in characterization that takes place in the works of Emilia Pardo Bazán. Source material include the writings of such critics of Spanish literature as Richard Chandler, Kessel Schwartz, Emiliano Díez-Echarri, José M. Roca Franquesa, Federico C. Saínz de Robles, and José A. Balseiro. Emilia Pardo Bazán wrote a total of twenty novels. From this collection ten were selected which best exemplify the change in characterization in her writi… more
