Effect of Background Emissivity on Gas Detection in Thermal Hyperspectral Imagery

Description: Detecting and identifying weak gaseous plumes using thermal imaging data is complicated by many factors. These include variability due to atmosphere, ground and plume temper- ature, and background clutter. This paper presents an analysis of one formulation of the physics-based radiance model, which describes at-sensor observed radiance. The background emissivity and plume/ground temperatures are isolated, and their effects on net chemical signal are described. This analysis shows that the plume… more

Is Increased Low-dose somatic Radiosensitivity Associated with Increased Transgenerational Germline Mutation

Description: Using single-molecule polymerase chain reaction, the frequency of spontaneous and radiation-induced mutation at an expanded simple tandem repeat (ESTR) locus was studied in DNA samples extracted from sperm and bone marrow of Atm knockout (Atm+/–) heterozygous male mice. The frequency of spontaneous mutation in sperm and bone marrow in Atm+/– males did not significantly differ from that in wild-type BALB/c mice. Acute gamma-ray exposure did not affect ESTR mutation frequency in bone marrow and r… more

Development of An On-Line, Core Power Distribution Monitoring System

Description: The objective of the proposed work was to develop a software package that can construct in three-dimensional core power distributions using the signals from constant temperature power sensors distributed in the reactor core. The software developed uses a mode-based state/parameter estmation technique that is particularly attractive when there are model uncertainties and/or large signal noise. The software yields the expected value of local power at the detector locations and points in between, … more

Reaction and diffusion in turbulent combustion

Description: The primary objective of the research is to use Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) to study turbulent non-premixed combustion. In DNS, the fluid mechanical and thermochemical conservation equations are solved by an accurate numerical method, without any averaging or turbulence modeling. In principle, then, DNS could be used to study a turbulent diffusion flame, for example. In practice, however, computational limitations severely restrict the flows that can be simulated. For non-reacting flows,… more
