Technology Assessment of Dust Suppression Techniques applied During Structural Demolition

Description: Hanford, Fernald, Savannah River, and other sites are currently reviewing technologies that can be implemented to demolish buildings in a cost-effective manner. In order to demolish a structure and, at the same time, minimize the amount of dust generated by a given technology, an evaluation must be conducted to choose the most appropriate dust suppression technology. Thus, the purpose of this research, which was conducted by the Hemispheric Center for Environmental Technology (HCET) at Florida … more

Professional correspondence

Description: This letter discusses interpolation methods; it is prompted by Akima`s note on local methods of univariate interpolation (April 1996 issue of SIGNUM Newsletter). That note compared various univariate methods, concluding that Algorithm 697 is probably the best. Purpose of this letter is provide information about PCHIC comparable to that given in Akima`s note. The 4 methods (Alg. 514, Alg. 697, PCHIC0, PCHIC1) are applied to the 5 analytic functions in Ellis and McLain`s paper (x{sup 3}, x{sup 4}… more

Two-dimensional intrinsic and extrinsic ferromagnetic behavior of layered La{sub 1.2}Sr{sub 1.8}Mn{sub 2}O{sub 7} single crystals

Description: The low-field magnetization M and susceptibility {chi} are reported for the two-layered Ruddleson-Popper phase SrO(La{sub 1{minus}x}Sr{sub x}MnO{sub 3}){sub 2} for x = 0.4 (denoted La{sub 1.2}Sr{sup 1.8}Mn{sub 2}O{sub 7}) with an in-plane magnetic easy axis. As T approaches the Curie temperature (T{sub C} = 116 K) on cooling, where the metal-insulator transition occurs in zero-field, {chi} diverges as H{sup {minus}1/{delta}{prime}}, with {delta}{prime} = 21 {+-} 5. Also, near an extrinsic Curie… more
