2001 Columbia River Recreation Survey -- Implications for Hanford Site Integrated Assessment

Description: This report presents the results from the Columbia River Recreation Survey conducted in the summer of 2001. The survey combined on-site personal interviews with parties engaged in river recreation with on-site field observations to develop a picture of summer river recreation on the Columbia. The study area stretched from just below Priest Rapids Dam in the north to McNary Dam in the south, and was divided into four "Areas" that correspond to the river areas used by the Groundwater/Vadose Zone … more

Activities of Human Gene Nomenclature Committee

Description: The objective of this project, shared between NIH and DOE, has been and remains to enable the medical genetics communities to use common names for genes that are discovered by different gene hunting groups, in different species. This effort provides consistent gene nomenclature and approved gene symbols to the community at large. This contributes to a uniform and consistent understanding of genomes, particularly the human as well as functional genomics based on comparisons between homologous ge… more

Are recoil polarization measurements of G{sup P}{ovr sub E}/G{sup P}{ovr sub M} consistent with Rosenbluth separation data?

Description: Recent recoil polarization measurements in Hall A at Jefferson Lab show that the ratio of the electric to magnetic form factors for the proton decreases significantly with increasing Q{sup 2}. This contradicts previous Rosenbluth measurements which indicate approximate scaling of the form factors ({micro}{sub p} G{sub E}{sup p}(Q{sup 2})/G{sub M}{sup p} (Q{sup 2}) {approx} 1). The cross section measurements were reanalyzed to try and understand the source of this discrepancy. They find that the… more

ASPECTS OF COULOMB DISSOCIATION AND INTERFERENCE IN PERIPHERAL NUCLEUS - NUCLEUS COLLISIONS.

Description: Coherent vector meson production in peripheral nucleus-nucleus collisions is discussed. These interactions may occur for impact parameters much larger than the sum of the nuclear radii. Since the vector meson production is always localized to one of the nuclei, the system acts as a two-source interferometer in the transverse plane. By tagging the outgoing nuclei for Coulomb dissociation it is possible to obtain a measure of the impact parameter and thus the source separation in the interferomet… more

Assessing non-uniqueness: An algebraic approach

Description: Geophysical inverse problems are endowed with a rich mathematical structure. When discretized, most differential and integral equations of interest are algebraic (polynomial) in form. Techniques from algebraic geometry and computational algebra provide a means to address questions of existence and uniqueness for both linear and non-linear inverse problem. In a sense, the methods extend ideas which have proven fruitful in treating linear inverse problems.

Assessment of transuranics stabilization in PWRs

Description: The stabilization of transuranics (TRU) in a PWR fuel cycle was evaluated for the CORAIL assembly. Alternative assembly designs (a highly moderated and modified CORAIL-TRU assembly and a homogeneous Thorium-TRU assembly) were also investigated to assess the potential of obtaining a near-zero TRU mass balance (i.e., the net TRU production per assembly) and low power peaking factor. The radiotoxicity of the nuclear waste sent to the repository environment and the impact of TRU stabilization on th… more

Azimuthal anisotropy of charged and identified high pT hadrons in Au+Au collisions at RHIC

Description: We report new results on v{sub 2}(p{sub T}) for Au+Au collisions at {radical}(S{sub NN}) = 200 GeV for charged hadrons, pions, kaons,(anti)protons, K{sub s}{sup 0}, and Lambda. The analysis is extended to p{sub T} = 12 GeV/c for charged hadrons and p{sub T} = 4 GeV/c for identified particles. A comparison of the azimuthal anisotropy of charged hadrons measured at sqrt {radical}(s{sub NN}) = 130 and 200 GeV is presented. The p{sub T}-dependence of baryon versus meson elliptic flow is discussed.

Characterization of Soluble Organics in Produced Water

Description: Soluble organics in produced water and refinery effluents represent treatment problems for the petroleum industry. Neither the chemistry involved in the production of soluble organics nor the impact of these chemicals on total effluent toxicity is well understood.

Collider Tests of the Little Higgs Model

Description: The little Higgs model provides an alternative to traditional candidates for new physics at the TeV scale. The new heavy gauge bosons predicted by this model should be observable at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We discuss how the LHC experiments could test the little Higgs model by studying the production and decay of these particles.

Cyr61 promotes breast tumorigenesis and cancer progression

Description: Cyr61, a member of the CCN family of genes, is an angiogenic factor. We have shown that it is overexpressed in invasive and metastatic human breast cancer cells and tissues. Here, we investigated whether Cyr61 is necessary and/or sufficient to bypass the ''normal'' estrogen (E2) requirements for breast cancer cell growth. Our results demonstrate that under E2-depleted condition, Cyr61 is sufficient to induce MCF-7 cells grow in the absence of E2. MCF-7 cells transfected with Cyr61 (MCF-7/Cyr61)… more

Effects of dry fractures on matrix diffusion in unsaturated fractured rocks

Description: Matrix diffusion has been recognized as an important mechanism affecting solute transport through unsaturated fractured rock, where a significant fraction of the fracture network remains relatively dry and inactive in conducting liquid flow. This simulation study shows that dry fractures act as strong diffusion barriers to solute transport when such fractures divide the matrix into discrete blocks. Where fracture surface roughness causes some regions of direct contact between matrix blocks sepa… more
