MetaBrowser: A combined browsing, query, and analysis tool

Description: The MetaBrowser design is based on the premise that scientists should not be forced to learn new languages or commands for finding the data they are interested in and for selecting subsets of the data for further analysis. Furthermore, there should be a single system that permits browsing, query, and analysis of the data, so that the scientist does not have to switch between systems. The current version for the MetaBrowser was designed for the DOE CEDR (Comprehensive Epidemiological Data Resour… more

Analysis of energy use in building services of the industrial sector in California: A literature review and a preliminary characterization

Description: Energy use patterns in many of California's fastest-growing industries are not typical of those in the mix of industries elsewhere in the US. Many California firms operate small and medium-sized facilities, often in buildings used simultaneously or interchangeably for commercial (office, retail, warehouse) and industrial activities. In these industrial subsectors, the energy required for building services'' to provide occupant comfort and necessities (lighting, HVAC, office equipment, computers… more

Novel nanodispersed coal liquefaction catalysts: Molecular design via microemulsion-based synthesis

Description: The objective of this project is to pursue the development of highly dispersed and inexpensive catalysts for improved coal solubilization and upgrading of coal liquids. A novel study of the synthesis of liquefaction catalysts of nanometer size will be carried out. It is based on the molecular design of reverse micelles (microemulsions). These surfactant-stabilized, metal bearing microdrops offer unique opportunities for synthesizing very small particles by providing a cage-like effect that limi… more

Comparison of Predicted Optical Performance With Measured Results for Dish Concentrators

Description: Several optical design tools have been developed at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) during the past two years. These have been used extensively both in-house and by industry to analyze dish concentrator systems and to optimize performance of such designs. The first program, OPTDSH, models single-element dish concentrators. The second code, ODMF, allows multifacet dish arrays to be modeled. The accuracy of performance simulations by these programs has been established by comparin… more

Non-stoichiometric defects in YBaCuO thin films

Description: Defects in superconducting YBaCuO thin films deposited by laser ablation are investigated by high resolution transmission electron microscopy. Micrographs reveal numerous defects in the YBaCuO film, falling into four basic classes. One of these is an interesting, non-stoichiometric helical defect structure which possibly corresponds to a growth-related screw dislocation. In general, defects in the YBaCuO film are associated both with growth geometry and with local deviations in stoichiometry. S… more

A comparison of radioactive waste from first generation fusion reactors and fast fission reactors with actinide recycling

Description: Limitations of the fission fuel resources will presumably mandate the replacement of thermal fission reactors by fast fission reactors that operate on a self-sufficient closed fuel cycle. This replacement might take place within the next one hundred years, so the direct competitors of fusion reactors will be fission reactors of the latter rather than the former type. Also, fast fission reactors, in contrast to thermal fission reactors, have the potential for transmuting long-lived actinides int… more

Magnetic field in the SSC arc quad

Description: In part one we report on field calculations along the conductor in the end region of the SSC arc-quad. We have determined that the maximum field in the 2D section is 5.04 tesla located at the pole turn of the inner layer somewhere in the middle of the cable (strand 9)(fields are at 6500 A). At the end'' the maximum field is slightly higher 5.09 tesla located at the overpass (strand 11). The iron contribution was included assuming infinite permeability. In part two we include results of a 3D rep… more

FDA Approved Registration of Erythromycin for Treatment of Bacterial Kidney Disease (BKD) in Juvenile and Adult Chinook Salmon : Annual Report, Reporting Period March 10, 1989 to March 9, 1990.

Description: Erythromycin is a therapeutic substance useful against bacterial kidney disease in salmon. In 1989 we began a multi year project to learn more about erythromycin applied to juvenile and adult salmon, with the goal of achieving registration of erythromycin with the US Food and Drug Administration. To begin the study, we studied the pharmacokinetics of erythromycin administered to both adult and juvenile chinook salmon. We monitored blood plasmas time curves from individual adult fish injected wi… more

Application Experience and Field Performance of Silvered Polymer Reflectors

Description: The solar-weighted hemispheric reflectance of unweathered silvered acrylic mirrors exceeds 92%, and specular reflectance into a 4- milliradian, full-cone acceptance angle is greater than 90%. Comparison of outdoor and accelerated tests suggests that the protected silver can resist corrosion for the five-year life that is the current goal. An installation of parabolic troughs has been cleaned monthly for two years, and reflectance is regularly returned to within a few percent of the initial refl… more

NQR-NMR studies of higher alcohol synthesis Cu-Co catalysts

Description: The primary concern of the study during this period has been to examine the origin and basis of the several nonconforming NMR lines reported in our earlier study. Previous studies by earlier investigators indicate that (a) the product distribution in the conversion of synthesis gas to liquid fuels is dependant on the copper/cobalt ratio and (b) that the catalytic results reported by different groups of investigators using the IFP prescription (4) are widely divergent. These observations prompte… more
