Medicare Management: Current and Future Challenges

Description: Testimony issued by the General Accounting Office with an abstract that begins "Medicare is a popular program that millions of Americans depend on for covering their essential health needs. However, the management of the program has fallen short of expectations because it has not always appropriately balanced or satisfied the needs of beneficiaries, providers, and taxpayers. For example, stakeholders expect that Medicare will price services prudently; that providers will be treated fairly and p… more

Electronic excitations and chemistry in Nitromethane and HMX

Description: The nature of electronic excitations in crystalline solid nitromethane under conditions of shock loading and static compression are examined. Density functional theory calculations are used to determine the crystal bandgap under hydrostatic stress, uniaxial strain, and shear strain. Bandgap lowering under uniaxial strain due to molecular defects and vacancies is considered. In all cases, the bandgap is not lowered enough to produce a significant population of excited states in the crystal. Prel… more

Description of the ARM Operational Objective Analysis System

Description: This report describes the ARM (Atmospheric Radiation Measurement) operational variational objective analysis system. It is currently used to process the data collected from the ARM Intensive Operational Periods (IOPs) for driving and evaluating physical parameterizations in climate models. The analysis system was originally developed by Zhang and Lin (1997) at State University of New York at Stony Brook and was migrated to the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) as the ARM operational… more

Plutonium Speciation, Solubilization, and Migration in Soils

Description: The DOE is currently conducting cleanup activities at its nuclear weapons development sites, many of which have accumulated plutonium (Pu) in soils for 50 years. To properly control Pu migration in soils within Federal sites and onto public lands, better evaluate the public risk, and design effective remediation strategies, a fundamental understanding of Pu speciation and environmental transport is needed. This type of information is increasingly important as the remediation and decommissioning… more

CVD Diamond Detectors for Current Mode Neutron Time-of-Flight Spectroscopy at OMEGA/NIF

Description: As part of a laser fusion diagnostic development program, we have performed pulsed neutron and pulsed laser tests of a CVD diamond detector manufactured from DIAFILM, a commercial grade of CVD diamond. The laser tests were performed at the short pulse UV laser at Bechtel Nevada in Livermore, CA. The pulsed neutrons were provided by DT capsule implosions at the OMEGA laser fusion facility in Rochester, NY. From these tests, we have determined the impulse response to be 250 ps fwhm for an applied… more

Report on the HPSS Database Benchmark

Description: Concerns about the long-term viability of SFS as the metadata store for HPSS have been increasing. A concern that Transarc may discontinue support for SFS motivates us to consider alternative means to store HPSS metadata. The obvious alternative is a commercial database. Commercial databases have the necessary characteristics for storage of HPSS metadata records. They are robust and scalable and can easily accommodate the volume of data that must be stored. They provide programming interfaces, … more

Phase Equilibrium Studies of Savannah River Tanks and Feed Streams for the Salt Waste Processing Facility

Description: A chemical equilibrium model is developed and used to evaluate supersaturation of tanks and proposed feed streams to the Salt Waste Processing Facility. The model uses Pitzer's model for activity coefficients and is validated by comparison with a variety of thermodynamic data. The model assesses the supersaturation of 13 tanks at the Savannah River Site (SRS), indicating that small amounts of gibbsite and or aluminosilicate may form. The model is also used to evaluate proposed feed streams to t… more

Diamagnetic Fishbone Mode Associated with Circulating Fast Ions in Spherical Tokamaks

Description: Recently it was shown theoretically that high beta (beta is the ratio of the plasma pressure to the magnetic field pressure) inherent to plasmas of Spherical Tokamaks (ST) stabilizes the fishbone mode associated with the trapped particles. This prediction agrees with the experimental observations of the fishbone behavior on the Small Tight Aspect Ratio Tokamak (START). However, in the mentioned experiments the circulating particles rather than the trapped ones were dominant in the energetic ion… more
