Transit Labor Arrangements: Most Transit Agencies Report Impacts Are Minimal

Description: A letter report issued by the General Accounting Office with an abstract that begins "Concerns have arisen about the 37-year-old statutory provision commonly known as Section 13(c). Before the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) may make grants to transit applicants, the Department of Labor (DOL) must certify that fair and equitable arrangements are in place to protect mass transit employees affected. Section 13(c) requires that the arrangements provide for continued of collective bargaining r… more

Design and performance estimates for the l'OASIS experiment magnetic spectrometers

Description: Two double-focusing magnetic specrometers will be used to momentum analyze the electron beam produced by the l'OASIS laser plasma wakefield accelerator. One spectrometer, based on a round pole magnet, has an operating range up to 50 MeV/c, with a resolution in the 1 - 2 percent range. The other spectrometer, based on a wedge dipole magnet, has better resolution (about 0.5 percent) but an operating range limited to below 18 MeV/c. This note describes the optical design of the spectrometers, and … more

Solubility Evaluation for Yucca Mountain TSPA-SR

Description: A systematic evaluation of radionuclide solubility has been conducted for the Yucca Mountain Project. The conventional thermodynamic approach was employed and geochemical model calculations were used to estimate radionuclide solubilities for the base case. The study uses the computer code EQ3/6 as the major geochemical modeling tool. The water composition and environmental conditions are based on the results of in-package chemistry and in-drift chemistry studies. Field observations, laboratory … more

Treating a User-Defined Parallel Library as a Domain-Specific Language

Description: An important purpose of a programming language is to insulate the programmer from low level details and provide a high enough level of abstraction to be productive and develop reasonably portable application codes. For these reasons scientific programming is longer done using assembly language. But high performance of scientific applications often requires that critical sections of code be expressed at a particularly low level to avoid inefficiencies introduced by the comiler (function call ove… more

Fundamental Elements of Geologic C02 Sequestration in Saline Aquifers

Description: Geologic sequestration represents a promising strategy for isolating CO{sub 2} waste streams from the atmosphere. Successful implementation of this approach hinges on our ability to predict the relative effectiveness of subsurface CO{sub 2} migration and sequestration as a function of key target-formation and cap-rock properties, which will enable us to identify optimal sites and evaluate their long-term isolation performance. Quantifying this functional relationship requires a modeling capabil… more

Development of a Rolling Process Design Tool for Use in Improving Hot Roll Slab Recovery

Description: A model of the 28-inch, laboratory mill at Alcoa Technical Center was constructed, and a preliminary calculation run using an estimated initial ingot size and pass schedule to assess the computational requirements for the simulations and to develop a procedure for adjusting the mill configuration and model boundary conditions between passes. The simulation was run through three passes, and the mechanical and contact thermal boundary conditions appear to be working appropriately.

Development of a Density Sensor for In-Line Real-Time Process Control and Monitoring of Slurries during Radioactive Waste Retrieval and Transport Operations at DOE Sites

Description: A density sensor (densimeter) to monitor and control slurries in-line real-time during radioactive waste retrieval and transport and detect conditions leading to degraded transport and line plugging is described. Benefits over baseline grab samples and off line analysis include: early detection and prevention of pipeline plugging, real-time density through the transfer process, elimination of grab sampling and off-line analysis, and reduced worker radiation exposure. The sensor is small, robust… more

Advanced Reservoir Characterization and Evaluation of CO{sub 2} Gravity Drainage in the Naturally Fractured Spraberry Trend Area, Class III

Description: The goal of this project was to assess the economic feasibility of CO{sub 2} flooding the naturally fractured Spraberry Trend Area in west Texas. This objective was accomplished through research in four areas: (1) extensive characterization of the reservoirs, (2) experimental studies of crude oil/brine/rock (COBR) interactions in the reservoirs, (3) reservoir performance analysis, and (4) experimental investigations on CO{sub 2} gravity drainage in Spraberry whole cores. The four areas have bee… more

CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF CLOSTRIDIUM BOTULINUM NEUROTOXIN SEROTYPE B.

Description: The toxigenic strains of Clostridium botulinum produce seven serologically distinct types of neurotoxins labeled A - G (EC 3.4.24.69), while Clostridium tetani produces tetanus neurotoxin (EC 3.4.24.68). Botulinum and tetanus neurotoxins (BoNTs and TeNT) are produced as single inactive chains of molecular mass of approximately 150 kDa. Most of these neurotoxins are released after being cleaved into two chains, a heavy chain (HI) of 100 kDa and a light chain (L) of 50 kDa held together by an int… more

String theory and non-commutative geometry [Final report]

Description: During the period of the three-year DOE grant DEFG02-94ER-25228, granted for the period August 1, 1997 to July 31, 2000, and extended until July 31, 2001, the investigator made significant progress and achieved most of the proposed goals. He completed certain older work, discovered a number of fundamental new theoretical phenomena, developed theories about them, and we began a project to integrate twist quantum fields into constructive quantum field theory, and to determine the effects of twist… more

Bioethanol Fuel Production Concept Study: Topline Report

Description: The DOE is in the process of developing technologies for converting plant matter other than feed stock, e.g., corn stover, into biofuels. The goal of this research project was to determine what the farming community thinks of ethanol as a fuel source, and specifically what they think of bioethanol produced from corn stover. This project also assessed the image of the DOE and the biofuels program and determined the perceived barriers to ethanol-from-stover production.

Carbon Policy and Technical Change: Market Structure, Increasing Returns, and Secondary Benefits. Final Report

Description: An economic evaluation of the impact of policies intended to control emissions of CO{sub 2} and other ''greenhouse gases'' (GHGS) depends on the net costs of these controls and their distribution throughout the production sectors of developed and developing economics. The answers derived from appraisals of these net costs, in turn, stem from what is assumed about the timing of the controls, the pace of technological change, and any short-term secondary benefits from their control. There have on… more

China and the World Trade Organization

Description: China has sought over the past several years to become a member of the World Trade Organization (WTO), the international agency that administers multilateral trade rules. In September 2001, China completed its multilateral negotiations with the WTO Working Party handling its accession application and reached a trade agreement with Mexico, the last of the original 37 WTO members that requested a bilateral trade agreement with China. China’s WTO membership (as well as that of Taiwan’s) was formal… more
