Shake-Off Measurements Of Electron-Ion-Scattering Phase Shifts, J. Greg Story, William E. Cooke May 1989

Shake-Off Measurements Of Electron-Ion-Scattering Phase Shifts, J. Greg Story, William E. Cooke

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

Continuum electrons are produced in a specific l state with high-energy resolution using shake-off photoionization. This process is well characterized, so that the photoionization signal is an accurate measurement of the difference between the continuum electrons wave-function phase and that produced by a hydrogenic interaction. Measurements are reported showing the phase of a Ba++e- in a d wave, in cases where it is well behaved, and in cases where doubly excited resonances produce rapid phase variations.


Convergence Properties Of The Waveform Relaxation Method As Applied To Electric Power Systems, Marija D. Ilić, J. K. White, Mariesa Crow May 1989

Convergence Properties Of The Waveform Relaxation Method As Applied To Electric Power Systems, Marija D. Ilić, J. K. White, Mariesa Crow

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Several theoretical results are presented and simple examples examined in order to determine the suitability of waveform relaxation for transient power system simulation. This examination leads to two practical suggestions that can easily be satisfied for power systems. The first is to break the simulation interval into sections, the first of which should be narrow and be used to kill off errors in the initial guess that activate the stiff modes. The second is to partition the system into subsystems that are stable, as this not only aids convergence but ensures multirate numerical stability.

We have measured projectile Auger electrons emitted after collisions of H-like F with H2. The cross sections for emission of KLL, KLM, KLN, and KLO Auger electrons show maxima as a function of the projectile energy. One maximum in the KLL emission cross section is due to resonant transfer and excitation. A second maximum in the cross section for KLL emission as well as the maxima in the emission cross section for the higher-n Auger electrons are attributed to a new transfer and excitation process. This involves excitation of a projectile electron by one target electron accompanied by …


On The Kelvin Electrostatic Generator, S. Desmet, F. Orban, Fernande Grandjean Apr 1989

On The Kelvin Electrostatic Generator, S. Desmet, F. Orban, Fernande Grandjean

Chemistry Faculty Research & Creative Works

The Kelvin generator is an amazing electrostatic device which poses many questions. The authors report the results of their investigations of this device under various controlled conditions with both nonpolar and polar liquids and a sodium chloride aqueous solution. They have found that the generator works well even if the two liquid streams originate from different electrically insulated reservoirs. In addition they propose a model in which the electric charge results from the separation of the hydrogen and hydroxyl ions as the water droplets form.

Condensation Coefficient Measurement For Water In The Umr Cloud Simulation Chamber, Donald E. Hagen, John L. Schmitt, Max B. Trueblood, John C. Carstens, Daniel R. White, Darryl J. Alofs Mar 1989

Condensation Coefficient Measurement For Water In The Umr Cloud Simulation Chamber, Donald E. Hagen, John L. Schmitt, Max B. Trueblood, John C. Carstens, Daniel R. White, Darryl J. Alofs

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

A systematic series of condensation coefficient measurements of water have been made using the University of Missouri-Rolla cooled-wall expansion chamber which simulates the thermodynamics of cloud. This coefficient is seen to decrease from a value near unity, at the outset of simulation, to a value in the neighborhood of 0.01 toward the end of a simulation. Final values of this coefficient are sufficiently low as to contribute significantly to the broadening of the drop-size distribution in cloud.

Control of the electro crystallization process is essential in the deposition of metals from aqueous electrolytes. A knowledge of the influence of mass transfer on the metal ion reduction is a critical element in any number of electrolytic processes, particularly where relatively high current densities are desired. The use of more positive ion tracer techniques as a means of experimentally determining some of the mass transport properties of interest are described. Examples for copper, zinc and zinc alloys electrolysis are included. © 1989 Chapman and Hall Ltd.


Anserlin. A Broad-Band, Low-Profile, Circularly Polarized Antenna, James L. Drewniak, P. E. Mayes Mar 1989

Anserlin. A Broad-Band, Low-Profile, Circularly Polarized Antenna, James L. Drewniak, P. E. Mayes

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

A technique is presented for improving the performance of low-profile, circularly polarized (CP) radiating-line antennas. The essential elements of the technique pertain to establishing a single traveling wave on an annular sector of conducting strip that is positioned parallel and close to a large conducting surface. The antenna is named the annular sector, radiating-line (ANSERLIN) antenna. Using this technique, the impedance bandwidth becomes so large that it no longer has any bearing on the operating bandwidth. Instead, the pattern shape and axial ratio become the factors that limit the bandwidth. Both senses of circular polarization can be transmitted or received …


One-Dimensional Trapping Kinetics At Zero Temperature, Paul Ernest Parris Mar 1989

One-Dimensional Trapping Kinetics At Zero Temperature, Paul Ernest Parris

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

The asymptotic decay of the survival probability is calculated for a quantum particle moving at zero temperature on a one-dimensional tight-binding chain possessing randomly placed irreversible traps of strength γ. The survival probability exhibits a decay, P(t) ~ exp(-At1/4), which is slower than that associated with a diffusing particle.

Elastic Angular Differential Cross Sections For Quasi-One-Electron Collision Systems At Intermediate Energies: (Na⁺, Li⁺)+H And (Mg⁺, Be⁺)+He, Jerry Peacher, E. Redd, Denver G. Seely, Timothy Gay, D. M. Blankenship, John T. Park Feb 1989

Elastic Angular Differential Cross Sections For Quasi-One-Electron Collision Systems At Intermediate Energies: (Na⁺, Li⁺)+H And (Mg⁺, Be⁺)+He, Jerry Peacher, E. Redd, Denver G. Seely, Timothy Gay, D. M. Blankenship, John T. Park

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

Measurements of elastic angular differential cross sections have been carried out for four quasi-one-electron collision systems at intermediate energies. Data are presented for Na++H collisions at laboratory energies of 35.94, 51.75, 63.89, and 143.75 keV, for Li++H collisions at energies of 19.44 and 43.75 keV, for Mg++He collisions at energies of 30, 66.7, and 150 keV, and for Be++He collisions at an energy of 56.25 keV. The highest energy in each case corresponds to a projectile velocity of (1/2 a.u. Born and Eikonal calculations, in which we model the projectile ion as …


Seismic Signature Of A Swan Hills (Frasnian) Reef Reservoir, Snipe Lake, Alberta, Neil Lennart Anderson, Robert James Sidford Brown, Ronald C. Hinds, L. V. Hills Feb 1989

Seismic Signature Of A Swan Hills (Frasnian) Reef Reservoir, Snipe Lake, Alberta, Neil Lennart Anderson, Robert James Sidford Brown, Ronald C. Hinds, L. V. Hills

Geosciences and Geological and Petroleum Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Swan Hills formation (Frasnian stage) carbonate buildups of the Beaverhill Lake group are generally of low relief and considerable areal extent and are overlain by and encased within the relatively high-velocity shale of the Waterways formation, which thins but does not drape across the reefs. Consistent with this picture, prereef seismic events are not significantly pulled up beneath the reefs nor are postreef events draped across them. Indeed, the seismic images of these reefs are effectively masked by the high-amplitude reflections from the overlying top of the Beaverhill Lake group and underlying Gilwood member and cannot be distinguished from those …

Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

The relation between dry diameter (X0) and critical supersaturation (Sc) for atmospheric submicron aerosol particles is investigated using a long term air sampling program at Rolla, Missouri. The particles are passed through an electrostatic aerosol size classifier, and then through an isothermal haze chamber. Results are reported in terms of an apparent volume fraction of soluble material, εv defined such that for particles composed only of ammonium sulfate and water insoluble compounds, εv is the actual volume fraction of soluble material. The probability distribution of εv is found to be approximately Gaussian in …

An Improved Exact Graph Coloring Algorithm, Thomas J. Sager, Shi-Jen Lin Jan 1989

An Improved Exact Graph Coloring Algorithm, Thomas J. Sager, Shi-Jen Lin

Computer Science Technical Reports

We present two algorithms for exact graph coloring of the vertex sequential with dynamic reordering of vertices variety. The first, W-DEG, is a straight-forward improvement on Korman’s original algorithm. The second, SWAP2, is a not so straight forward improvement on Korman’s algorithm and appears to offer the best performance of known exact graph coloring algorithms.


A Color-Exchange Algorithm For Exact Graph Coloring, Thomas J. Sager, Shi-Jen Lin Jan 1989

A Color-Exchange Algorithm For Exact Graph Coloring, Thomas J. Sager, Shi-Jen Lin

Computer Science Technical Reports

DEXCH, a color-exchange exact graph coloring algorithm is presented. On many classes of graphs, DEXCH can, in the mean, find the chromatic number of a graph considerably faster than the DSATUR algorithm. The improvement over DSATUR stems from the ability to reorganize the subset of colored vertices and to detect in certain instances the existence of a complete subgraph of cardinality equal to the number of colors used in the best coloring found so far. The mean improvement over DSATUR is greatest on high edge-density graphs attaining the value of 42% on random graphs of edge-density 0.7 on 64 vertices.


A Pruning Procedure For Exact Graph Coloring, Thomas J. Sager, Shi-Jen Lin Jan 1989

A Pruning Procedure For Exact Graph Coloring, Thomas J. Sager, Shi-Jen Lin

Computer Science Technical Reports

The graph coloring problem can be stated: “Given an undirected graph, using a minimal number of colors, assign each vertex a color so that if two vertices are connected by an edge then they are not assigned the same color.” Graph coloring can be used to solve scheduling problems with constraints of the form: events e and e' can not be scheduled together. Graph coloring is an NP-Complete problem. Generally large problems are solved heuristically, although some of the better heuristic algorithms use an exact graph coloring algorithm to finish coloring a graph after first reducing it heuristically …
