Development of More Efficacious Tc-99m Organ Imaging Agents for Use in Nuclear Medicine by Analytical Characterization of Radiopharmaceutical Mixtures

Description: The long-range objective of this research program is the development of more efficacious technetium-99m radiopharmaceuticals for use as imaging agents in diagnostic nuclear medicine. We seek to isolate and develop distinct site imaging agents, each of which has properties optimized to provide diagnostic information concerning a given pathological condition. The specific objectives during the period (9/1/89 to 8/31/92) include: (1) Development of strategies for improving yields of specific Tc-di… more

Modeling of transformation toughening in brittle materials

Description: Results from modeling of transformation toughening in brittle materials using a discrete micromechanical model are presented. The material is represented as a two-dimensional triangular array of nodes connected by elastic springs. Microstructural effects are included by varying the spring parameters for the bulk, grain boundaries, and transforming particles. Using the width of the damage zone and the effective compliance (after the initial creation of the damage zone) as measures of fracture to… more

On the scattering of atmospheric muons in the rock above Soudan 2

Description: I have investigated the effect of scattering in the rock overburden on the position and direction of atmospheric muons as observed at the Soudan 2 detector relative to the surface. The dominant contributions to the fluctuations in those observables arise from multiple Coulomb scattering and delta ray production. The contribution of the other energy loss mechanisms, bremsstrahlung, pair production and nuclear interactions, is small, with slowly increasing importance at very large deviations from… more

Decay properties of nuclei at the end of the periodic system

Description: Recent studies of nuclear mass models show that it is essential to account for the Coulomb redistribution energy when calculating the nuclear potential energy in the heavy-element region. Results obtained by use of a mass model that includes Coulomb redistribution effects on analyzed. Q values of {alpha} and {beta} decay are calculated. Half-lives for {alpha} decay are estimated by use of the Viola-Seaborg systematics. For EC, {beta}{sup +} decay and {beta}{sup {minus}} decay, half-lives are ca… more

Developing, Testing, Evaluating and Optimizing Solar Heating and Cooling Systems

Description: The objective is to develop and test various integrated solar heating, cooling and domestic hot water systems, and to evaluate their performance. Systems composed of new, as well as previously tested, components are carefully integrated so that effects of new components on system performance can be clearly delineated. The SEAL-DOE program includes six tasks which have received funding for the 1991--92 fifteen-month period. These include: (1) a project employing isothermal operation of air and l… more

Errors of DWPF Frit analysis. Final report

Description: Glass frit will be a major raw material for the operation of the Defense Waste Processing Facility. The frit will be controlled by certificate of conformance and a confirmatory analysis by a commercial laboratory. The following effort provides additional quantitative information on the variability of frit analyses at two commercial laboratories.

Physical models of spall zone ground motions and the determination of spatial decay rates. Los Alamos Source Region Project

Description: Spall, the tensile failure of near-surface layers, which is observed above contained explosions, has been identified as a possible secondary seismic source contributing to teleseismic and regional signals. The relative importance of this secondary source can be constrained if the motion field in the spall zone is characterized. Spall zone motions from nuclear explosions detonated above the water table at Pahute Mesa are analyzed to develop these models. Acceleration, velocity, displacement, and… more
