Nitrogen control of chloroplast development and differentiation

Description: The growth and development of plants and photosynthetic microorganisms is commonly limited by the availability of nitrogen. Our work concerns understanding the mechanisms by which plants and algae that are subjected to nitrogen deprivation alter the composition of photosynthetic membranes and enzymes involved in photosynthetic carbon metabolism. Toward these ends, we study biosynthetic and gene expression processes in the unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii which is grown in an amm… more

Conceptual strategy for design, implementation, and validation of a biomarker-based biomonitoring capability

Description: This document describes a strategy for defining specific objectives for biomarker studies and for designing and implementing a biomonitoring study that focuses on these objectives. In researching this subject, it became clear to the authors that the subject of biomarkers created a great deal of interest among scientists and regulators but that general acceptance of biomarkers as a tool for environmental protection was hampered by lack of a clear notion of how to develop and apply this approach.… more

Steam generator secondary pH during a steam generator tube rupture

Description: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission requires utilizes to determine the response of a pressurized water reactor to a steam generator tube rupture (SGTR) as part of the safety analysis for the plant. The SGTR analysis includes assumptions regarding the partitioning of iodine between liquid and vapor in steam generator secondary. Experimental studies have determined that the partitioning of iodine in water is very sensitive to the pH. Based on this experimental evidence, the NRC requested the INEL t… more

Nonlinear evolution of resistive tearing mode instability with shear flow and viscosity

Description: The nonlinear evolution of the tearing mode instability with equilibrium shear flow is investigated via numerical solutions of the resistive magnetohydrodynamic equations. The two-dimensional simulations are in slab geometry, are periodic in the x-direction, and are initiated with solutions of the linearized MHD equations. The magnetic Reynolds number S was varied from 10{sup 2} to 10{sup 5}, a parameter V that measures the strength of the flow in units of the average Alfven speed was varied, a… more

Studies of Coupled Chemical and Catalytic Coal Conversion Methods

Description: The objective of this research was to convert coal into a soluble substance under mild conditions. The strategy involved two steps, first to breakdown the macromolecular network of coal, and second to add hydrogen catalytically. We investigated different basic reagents that could, in priciple, break down coal's structure and alkylation strategies that might enhance its solubility. We examined O- and C-alkylation, the importance of the strength of the base, the character of the added alkyl group… more

A kinetics study of the O( sup 3 P) + CH sub 3 Cl reaction over the 556-1485 K range by the HTP and LP-ST techniques

Description: The high-temperature photochemistry (HTP) and laser photolysis-shock tube (LP-ST) techniques have been combined to study the kinetics of the reaction between ground-state oxygen atoms with CH{sub 3}Cl over the temperature range, 556--1485 K. In the HTP reactor, used for the 556--1291 K range, O atoms were generated by flash photolysis of O{sub 2}, CO{sub 2} or SO{sub 2}, and the atom concentrations were monitored by resonance fluorescence, while with the LP-ST technique, used for the 916--1485 … more
