Low-Lying Even-Parity Resonances In Ki:Ag+, Roger D. Kirby

Roger Kirby Publications

Lattice resonances of E_g symmetry (16.35 cm^-1) and A_1g symmetry (25 cm^-1) have been found in KI:Ag⁺ using far-infrared spectroscopic techniques. The two even-parity modes are found to be anharmonically coupled to the T_1u^- symmetry resonant mode at 17.3 cm^-1, giving rise to the combination bands observed at 30 and 44.4 cm^-1.

Far-Infrared Properties Of Lattice Resonant Modes. V. Second-Order Stark Effect, B.P. Clayman, Roger D. Kirby, A. J. Sievers

Roger Kirby Publications

Small electric-field-induced frequency shifts have been observed for resonant modes associated with three defect systems. For NaI: Clˉ, the shifts have been used to measure the quartic anharmonic terms of the interionic potential of the impurity ion. For KBr: Li⁺, the quartic anharmonic terms are found to be very small, and an harmonic potential which includes a central barrier with the barrier height less than the zero-point energy of the oscillator is required to explain the experimental results. For NaCl: Cu⁺, only an "on-center" resonant-mode configuration is consistent with the experimental results.

Simulation Of Particle Tracks In Emulsion, Thomas E. Furtak, Robert Katz

Robert Katz Publications

Micrographs of energetic particles in nuclear emulsion are simulated by computing the spatial distribution of developed grains with the δ-ray theory of track structure, and representing the developed grains by points of light on an IBM 2250 visual display unit. The simulated tracks display many of the features of actual track structure and serve as a visual comparison between experiment and theory,

A Study Of Primary Productivity In A Nebraska Interstate 80 Lake, Gilbert Adrian, Carl Throckmorton, Bob Mcdonald

Nebraska Game and Parks Commission: Staff Research Publications

The primary productivity of a small gravel pit lake in the Platte River Valley of Nebraska was studied for a 2-year period. Daily production rates were estimated from near weekly samples, with calculations done by computer. Emphasis was placed on production under ice during winter conditions. Annual production was estimated and is compared with several other lakes in North America.

Angular And Energy Distribution Of Cross Sections For Electron Production By 50-300-Kev-Proton Impacts On N2, O2, Ne, And Ar, J. B. Crooks, M. Eugene Rudd

M. Eugene Rudd Publications

Cross sections differential in angle and ejection energy for electron production by proton impact on nitrogen, oxygen, neon, and argon have been measured using electrostatic analysis and counting of individual electrons. The range of proton energies was 50-300 keV, the angles ranged from 10° to 160°, and the electron energies were measured from 1.5 to 1057 eV. Integrations over angle and/or electron energy yielded singly differential and total electron production cross sections. Our total cross sections for oxygen fall halfway between previous data of deHeer et al. and Hooper et al., but our argon cross sections agree better with deHeer …

The Flathead Catfish In Unchannelized And Channelized Missouri River, Nebraska, Larry A. Morris, Ralph Langemeier, Arthur Witt Jr.

Nebraska Game and Parks Commission: White Papers, Conference Presentations, and Manuscripts

Flathead catfish, Pylodictus olivaris (Rafinesque), were studied in approximately 83.7 km of unchannelized and 67.6 km miles of channelized Missouri River. Growth rates were slower in the unchannelized section than they were in the channelized section. The oldest fish in the unchannelized section was 25 years old, while in the channelized study area the oldest was 10 years. In the pectoral spines of progressively older fish from both sections, enlargement of the lumen obliterated early annuli. Much of the annual increment of growth was accomplished during June, July and August. Males became sexually mature at 3 to 4 years of …

The New Case For Private Annuities, M. H. Weinberg

Nebraska Law Review

With the promulgation of Rev. Rul. 69-74, many of the advantages of a private annuity were curtailed because of the holdings that (1) capital gain was recognized on the transaction before the recoupment of basis, and (2) the investment in the contract was limited to the adjusted basis of the appreciated property contributed, thus reducing the lifetime exclusion ratio. Because of these disadvantages and the fact that the three and one-half percent annuity tables were so outdated, many estate planners have felt that the private annuity lost some of its lustre. However, in the Federal Register for July 3, 1970, …

One Man–One Vote And Judicial Selection, Denis R. Malm

Nebraska Law Review

By legislative enactment, the 1969 Nebraska Legislature created the Nebraska Constitutional Revision Commission, effective May 26, 1969. As an outgrowth of this legislation, the commission comprehensively reviewed the Constitution of Nebraska and presented its suggestions and recommendations for revision of the constitution in a report dated September 24, 1970. Substantial changes were made in Article V, the judicial article. The fourth recommended revision deals with the redistricting of judicial districts through the provisions of Article V, section 5. This Comment examines the redistricting provisions of Article V, section 5 in light of the constitutional requirements for equality in voting, and …

The Taxation Of "Real Profit": Towards A Laissez-Faire Revenue Code, Leslie C. Smith, Paul E. Sullivan

Nebraska Law Review

Although the Internal Revenue Code began as a simple instrument designed to raise monies for use by the federal government, the passage of time has created a statute drastically changed in nature. Pressure on the Congress by a multitude of groups with vested interests, attempts by the legislators to promote "equity" in the Code, and tax breaks for social or fiscal policy reasons have wreaked havoc with the "simple" acts of bygone days. It is the purpose of this article to point out several specific areas which are in desperate need of modification or total elimination. However, it is not …

Fourier Transforms Of Unbounded Measures, Loren Argabright, Jesús Gil De Lamadrid

Department of Mathematics: Faculty Publications

The resulting "Fourier transformation" µ—µ^ contains the classical theory and leads to generalizations of a variety of classical results, including the Plancherel theorem and the Poisson summation formula. The present work can also be regarded as a sort of theory of tempered distributions on general locally compact abelian groups. It is true that Bruhat [ l l ] introduced a direct generalization to this setting of the theory of Schwartz [10], but, to the best of our knowledge, a detailed study of the Fourier transform has not been carried out. In a forthcoming exposition we shall describe the precise relation …
