Information Technology: Demand for the Social Security Administration's Electronic Data Exchanges Is Growing and Presents Future Challenges

Description: A letter report issued by the Government Accountability Office with an abstract that begins "Federal and state agencies, including the Social Security Administration (SSA), routinely share data through electronic exchanges to help increase the efficiency of program operations, reduce program costs, and improve public service. In light of SSA's broad responsibility for carrying out data exchanges, GAO was asked to describe SSA's critical programs that exchange data with other federal and state a… more

A Numerical Algorithm for the Solution of a Phase-Field Model of Polycrystalline Materials

Description: We describe an algorithm for the numerical solution of a phase-field model (PFM) of microstructure evolution in polycrystalline materials. The PFM system of equations includes a local order parameter, a quaternion representation of local orientation and a species composition parameter. The algorithm is based on the implicit integration of a semidiscretization of the PFM system using a backward difference formula (BDF) temporal discretization combined with a Newton-Krylov algorithm to solve the … more

Evaluation of Automated Low-Field NMR Relaxometry For Analysis of Polymers

Description: Screening studies and a Design of Experiment were performed to evaluate measurement variation of a new, non-destructive NMR test system designed to assess age induced degradation of Outer Pressure Pads. The test method and results from 76,746 measurements are described indicating that a metal support strut adjacent to the front position of the test chamber interferes with the measurements and that there is a measurement property gradient from the front to the back of the chamber. Also, obvious … more

Liquid Silane Routes to Electronic Materials

Description: New chemistries based upon liquid cyclohexasilane (Si{sub 6}H{sub 12} or CHS) have been used as precursors to silicon-containing electronic materials. Spin-coating of CHS-based inks with subsequent UV light and/or thermal treatment yielded amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) films. While initial ink chemistries gave a-Si:H with high resistivity (i.e., > 10{sup 6} {Omega}.cm), several doping strategies are under development to address this limitation. In this contribution, the current status of soluti… more

Validation of DNA probes for molecular cytogenetics by mapping onto immobilized circular DNA

Description: Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is a sensitive and rapid procedure to detect gene rearrangements in tumor cells using non-isotopically labeled DNA probes. Large insert recombinant DNA clones such as bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) or P1/PAC clones have established themselves in recent years as preferred starting material for probe preparations due to their low rates of chimerism and ease of use. However, when developing probes for the quantitative analysis of rearrangements invo… more

Auto Industry: A Framework for Considering Federal Financial Assistance

Description: Testimony issued by the Government Accountability Office with an abstract that begins "The current economic downturn has brought significant financial stress to the auto manufacturing industry. Recent deteriorating financial, real estate, and labor markets have reduced consumer confidence and available credit, and automobile purchases have declined. While auto manufacturers broadly have experienced declining sales in 2008 as the economy has worsened, sales of the "Big 3" (General Motors, Chrysl… more

Troubled Asset Relief Program: Status of Efforts to Address Defaults and Foreclosures on Home Mortgages

Description: Testimony issued by the Government Accountability Office with an abstract that begins "A dramatic increase in mortgage loan defaults and foreclosures is one of the key contributing factors to the current downturn in the U.S. financial markets and economy. In response, Congress passed and the President signed in July the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 and in October the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (EESA), which established the Office of Financial Stability (OFS) withi… more
