Contract Management: Service Contracting Trends and Challenges

Description: Correspondence issued by the General Accounting Office with an abstract that begins "GAO reviewed several issues concerning service contracting trends and challenges facing the government. The government has had long-standing difficulties in managing service contracts, and it is clear that agencies are not doing all they can to ensure that they are acquiring services that meet their needs in a timely and cost-effective manner. Agencies have begun efforts to address their strategic human capital… more

Skilled Nursing Facilities: Services Excluded From Medicare's Daily Rate Need to be Reevaluated

Description: A letter report issued by the General Accounting Office with an abstract that begins "Congress and the Health Care Financing Administration recognized that certain services needed to be excluded from the skilled nursing facility (SNF) prospective payment system (PPS) rate to help ensure beneficiary access to appropriate care and to financially protect the SNFs that take care of high-cost patients. The criteria used to identify services--high cost, infrequently provided during a SNF stay and lik… more

Applications of Computational Fluid Dynamics Simulations in Urban Environments and Experiments Designed to Aid the Development and Evaluation of these Models

Description: Progress in development of CFD models has shown their great potential for prediction of air flow, heat dissipation, and dispersion of air pollutants in the urban environment. Work at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory has progressed using the finite element code FEM3 which has been ''massively parallelized'' to produce flow fields and pollutant dispersion in a grid encompassing many city blocks and with high resolution. While it may be argued that urban CFD models are not yet economical for… more

Novel joining of dissimilar ceramics in the Si{sub 3}N{sub 4}-Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} system using polytypoid functional gradients

Description: A unique approach to crack-free joining of heterogeneous ceramics is demonstrated by the use of sialon polytypoids as Functionally Graded Materials (FGM) as defined by the phase diagram in the system, Si3N4-Al2O3. Polytypoids in the Al2O3-Si3N4 system offer a path to compatibility for such heterogeneous ceramics. The first part of the dissertation describes successful hot press sintering of multilayered FGM's with 20 layers of thickness 500 mm each. Transmission Electron Microscopy was used to … more

Supplemental Release Limits for the Directed Reuse of Lead in Shielding Products by the Department of Energy

Description: The DOE National Center of Excellence for Metals Recycle (NMR) proposes to define and implement a complex-wide directed reuse strategy for surplus radiologically impacted lead (Pb) as part of the U.S. Department of Energy's commitment to the safe and cost-effective recycle or reuse of excess materials and equipment across the DOE complex. NMR will, under this proposal, act on behalf of the DOE Office of Environmental Management, Office of Technical Program Integration (specifically EM-22), as t… more

Verification and validation of fast systems with ENDF/B data.

Description: An extensive and systematic verification, validation and data testing effort using diverse Monte Carlo and deterministic methods with ENDF/B data (Versions V.2 and VI.5) is in progress. Methods verification is obtained by comparing independent methods, including continuous-energy Monte Carlo methods using the VIM and MCNP codes and 1D and 2D transport calculations using multigroup cross section sets generated with the ETOE-II/MC-2 system combined with the TWODANT code. Each of these code system… more

Time-Reversal Acoustics and Maximum-Entropy Imaging

Description: Target location is a common problem in acoustical imaging using either passive or active data inversion. Time-reversal methods in acoustics have the important characteristic that they provide a means of determining the eigenfunctions and eigenvalues of the scattering operator for either of these problems. Each eigenfunction may often be approximately associated with an individual scatterer. The resulting decoupling of the scattered field from a collection of targets is a very useful aid to loca… more

Hydrodynamic Theory of Atomic Mixing in Multicomponent Gases and Plasmas

Description: Atomic mixing in multicomponent gases and plasmas is usually described as a diffusional process. The diffusional description is an approximation to a more general dynamical description in which the motion of each individual species or material is governed by its own momentum equation, with appropriate coupling terms to represent the exchange of momentum between different species. These equations are not new, but they are scattered in the literature. Here we summarize the form of these species m… more

Non-Compliance Tracking and Trending at LLNL

Description: The Criticality Safety Section at LLNL has a formal set of procedures to guide the administrative and technical work of the section. Two of these procedures, ''Response to a Criticality Safety Infraction'' and ''CSG Criticality Safety Non-Compliance and Audit Tracking System,'' provide combined guidance for response, tracking, and trending for procedural non-compliances. Combined with a database, this system provides a framework to systematically respond to, document, track and trend criticalit… more

A PVM Executive Program For Use With RELAP5-3D

Description: An executive program has been developed that coordinates the coupling of any number of other computer programs to perform integrated analyses of nuclear power reactor systems and related experimental facilities. The ability to couple programs allows the analyst to apply different analytical models to specific domains in the problem to achieve accurate results. The coupling is accomplished using the PVM message passing software and the executive program manages all phases of a coupled computatio… more

Recent Changes to the Criticality Safety Program at LLNL

Description: During the 1996 audit, a corrective action program was developed and implemented to enhance the Criticality Safety Program at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. The Criticality Safety Program at LLNL has been rebuilt to combine a strong core criticality safety program with direct field support to floor operations. Field staff are integrated into the supported facility and program efforts. This method of operation effects all aspects of the criticality safety program including, as examples,… more

MCF-10A-NeoST: A New Cell System for Studying Cell-ECM and Cell-Cell Interactions in Breast Cancer

Description: There is a continuing need for genetically matched cell systems to model cellular behaviors that are frequently observed in aggressive breast cancers. We report here the isolation and initial characterization of a spontaneously arising variant of MCF-10A cells, NeoST, which provides a new model to study cell adhesion and signal transduction in breast cancer. NeoST cells recapitulate important biological and biochemical features of metastatic breast cancer, including anchorage-independent growth… more
