Operational Restoration of the Pen Branch Bottomland Hardwoos and Swamp Wetlands-The Research Setting

Description: Historiexecy the SRS swamp was largely composed of bald cypress and tupelo forest with lesser amounts of hardwoods. Upstream impacts from dam construction have altered the composition of the forest through changes in the flooding regimes. Pumping of hot water in to Pen Branch resulted in destruction of several hundred acres of the native forest. Overflow of the forest redistributed sediment, eroded the channel and deposition of silt. No natural regeneration of hardwoods or cypress were observed… more

Medical applications of ultra-short pulse lasers

Description: The medical applications for ultra short pulse lasers (USPLs) and their associated commercial potential are reviewed. Short pulse lasers offer the surgeon the possibility of precision cutting or disruption of tissue with virtually no thermal or mechanical damage to the surrounding areas. Therefore the USPL offers potential improvement to numerous existing medical procedures. Secondly, when USPLs are combined with advanced tissue diagnostics, there are possibilities for tissue-selective precisio… more

Signal analysis approach to ultrasonic evaluation of diffusion bond quality

Description: Solid state bonds like the diffusion bond are attractive techniques for joining dissimilar materials since they are not prone to the defects that occur with fusion welding. Ultrasonic methods can detect the presence of totally unbonded regions but have difficulty sensing poor bonded areas where the substrates are in intimate contact. Standard ultrasonic imaging is based on amplitude changes in the signal reflected from the bond interface. Unfortunately amplitude alone is not sensitive to bond q… more

Electrometallurgical treatment of oxide spent fuel.

Description: The Department of Energy (DOE) inventory of spent nuclear fuel contains a wide variety of oxide fuel types that may be unsuitable for direct repository disposal in their current form. The molten-salt electrometallurgical treatment technique developed by Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) has the potential to simplify preparing and qualifying these fuels for disposal by converting them into three uniform product streams: uranium metal, a metal waste form, and a ceramic waste form. This paper desc… more

Quasiparticle behavior in tunnel junction refrigerators

Description: We present simulations of quasiparticle creation, propagation, and loss in the superconducting electrode of a normal-insulator-superconductor tunnel junction refrigerator. We calculate the electronic temperature in the superconducting electrode from self-consistent solutions to the diffusion equation. We then calculate the power load on the normal electrode due to recombination phonons and the reduction in cooling power due to the elevated temperature of the superconductor. Our calculations exp… more

Detecting data and schema changes in scientific documents

Description: Data stored in a data warehouse must be kept consistent and up-to-date with the underlying information sources. By providing the capability to identify, categorize and detect changes in these sources, only the modified data needs to be transferred and entered into the warehouse. Another alternative, periodically reloading from scratch, is obviously inefficient. When the schema of an information source changes, all components that interact with, or make use of, data originating from that source … more

Efficient Injection of Electron Beams into Magnetic Guide Fields

Description: Preliminary experimental and modeling study of injection and transport of high current electron beams in current-neutralized background gas has been performed. Initial analysis of the results indicates that high current triaxial ring diode operates very reproducibly in the pinch mode. High current density beam can be injected efficiently into the drift region, using azimuthal guide field with reduced intensity near the injection region. This was shown to improve the effectiveness of capturing t… more

Scalable, remote administration of Windows NT.

Description: In the UNIX community there is an overwhelming perception that NT is impossible to manage remotely and that NT administration doesn't scale. This was essentially true with earlier versions of the operating system. Even today, out of the box, NT is difficult to manage remotely. Many tools, however, now make remote management of NT not only possible, but under some circumstances very easy. In this paper we discuss how we at Argonne's Mathematics and Computer Science Division manage all our NT mac… more

A New Approach to Measuring the Neutron Decay Correlations with Cold Neutrons at LANSCE

Description: Precision measurements of the neutron beta-decay correlations A, B, a, and b provide important tests of the standard model of electroweak interactions: a test of the unitarity of the first row of the CKM matrix, a search for new weak interactions, a test of the theory of nuclear beta decays, and a test of the conserved-vector-current hypothesis. The authors are designing an experiment at the LANSCE short-pulse spallation source to measure all four correlations to an order of magnitude better ac… more

The Potential Uses of Commercial Satellite Imagery in the Middle East

Description: It became clear during the workshop that the applicability of commercial satellite imagery to the verification of future regional arms control agreements is limited at this time. Non-traditional security topics such as environmental protection, natural resource management, and the development of infrastructure offer the more promising applications for commercial satellite imagery in the short-term. Many problems and opportunities in these topics are regional, or at least multilateral, in nature… more
