Heating-Effect Minimization In Dye Lasers, Kenneth Lee Matheson, James M. Thorne Aug 1979

Heating-Effect Minimization In Dye Lasers, Kenneth Lee Matheson, James M. Thorne

Faculty Publications

Optical pumping of dye lasers deposits heat nonuniformly in the active medium. Because the refractive index of a liquid or gas is a function of temperature, gradients are created which refract the laser beam. This effect is sometimes serious enough to quench laser action. In this paper, we evaluate the effects caused by optical pumping with a coaxial flashlamp and suggest ultraviolet absorbers and wavelength shifters as materials for minimizing the problem

Role Of Misuse In Products Liability Litigation, David A. Fischer Jul 1979

Role Of Misuse In Products Liability Litigation, David A. Fischer

Faculty Publications

Misuse is puzzling. Sometimes it cuts off liability and sometimes it does not, but courts have failed to clarify exactly what sort of conduct qualifies as the type of misuse that bars recovery. Generally speaking misuse takes two forms, abnormal use and mishandling. Abnormal use comes about when a product is used for an improper purpose; mishandling comes about when a product is used for a proper purpose but in an improper manner. Under this definition defendants can claim that virtually any unusual handling or use of a product constitutes misuse. Yet courts will not always accept this characterization. They …

Nonenzymatically Glucosylated Albumin: In Vitro Preparation And Isolation From Normal Human Serum, James F. Day, Suzanne R. Thorpe, John W. Baynes Feb 1979

Nonenzymatically Glucosylated Albumin: In Vitro Preparation And Isolation From Normal Human Serum, James F. Day, Suzanne R. Thorpe, John W. Baynes

Faculty Publications

Incubation of human serum with D-[6-3H]glucose resulted in the gradual accumulation of radioactivity in acid-precipitable material. Upon chromatography on Sephadex G-200, radioactivity was found associated with each of the major molecular weight classes of serum protein. Purified human serum albumin was also glucosylated in vitro upon exposure to D-[6-3H]glucose in phosphate-buffered saline. The glucosylated and unmodified albumins were separated by ion exchange chromatography. The physiological significance of these observations in vitro was confirmed by the isolation and quantitation of glucosylated albumin from normal human serum. Glucosylated albumin represents approximately 6 to 15% of total serum albumin in normal adults. The …

Cytokine Production By Blue Tongue Virus-Infected Fetal Sheep Cells, F. M. Enright, B. I. Osburn Jan 1979

Cytokine Production By Blue Tongue Virus-Infected Fetal Sheep Cells, F. M. Enright, B. I. Osburn

Faculty Publications

The migration inhibition of guinea pig peritoneal macrophages by a factor(s) from media obtained from blue tongue virus-infected monolayer cultures was studied. Medium from blue tongue virus-infected sheep fetal cell cultures inhibited migration of guinea pig macrophages from agarose droplets. Medium from control cultures and stock virus did not inhibit macrophage migration. Medium containing migration inhibiting factor(s) in vitro induced an inflammatory reaction in the skin of a newborn sheep. The inflammatory reaction was observed 20 h after intradermal inoculation. The skin reaction consisted of infiltrates of mononuclear leukocytes in the superficial dermis. Control medium and stock virus caused no …

Products Liability--Functionally Imposed Strict Liability, David A. Fischer Jan 1979

Products Liability--Functionally Imposed Strict Liability, David A. Fischer

Faculty Publications

Many manufacturers and insurance companies claim that a products liability crisis exists. This is evidenced by soaring products liability insurance rates. They express the fear that as insurance becomes unavailable or prohibitively expensive, useful products will be withheld from the market and some manufacturers may even be forced out of business. Such critics of the tort system are calling for modifications of the common law in order to give greater protection to manufacturers. A more drastic approach, vigorously championed by Professor Jeffrey O'Connell, calls for total or partial abolition of the tort system and substitution with various forms of no-fault …

Speech And Speech - Obscenity And Obscenity: An Exercise In The Interpretation Of Constitutional Language, Frederick Schauer Jan 1979

Speech And Speech - Obscenity And Obscenity: An Exercise In The Interpretation Of Constitutional Language, Frederick Schauer

Faculty Publications

Commentators have criticized the Supreme Court's use of the "two-level" theory of speech to place obscenity beyond the pale of the first amendment. They charge the Court with shirking the task of balancing first amendment values and the states' interests in regulating obscene material. Professor Schauer meets this criticism by examining the meaning of the word "speech" in the context of the purposes of the first amendment and the Constitution as a whole. He concludes that "speech"does not include a category.of obscenity'that performs the function of a surrogate sexual act and is lacking in communicative content. The Court's treatment of …

Magnetic Susceptibility Anisotropy Measurements Of Coal From The South Wales Coal Field: A Coalification Process Indicator, Brooks B. Ellwood Jan 1979

Magnetic Susceptibility Anisotropy Measurements Of Coal From The South Wales Coal Field: A Coalification Process Indicator, Brooks B. Ellwood

Faculty Publications

Summary. Anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility measurements have been performed on 154 specimens taken from 25 different seams in the South Wales Coal Field, up to 24 samples per seam. The magnetic fabric determined is represented, in general, by oblate spheroids with minimum (Kc) AMS axes usually clustered at a near‐vertical, or occasionally, near‐horizontal pole which is normal to the magnetic foliation plane defined by great circle distributions of maximum (Ka) and intermediate (Kb) axes. The results suggest that the coalification process and variations in rank within the coal field are due to the combined effects of vertical compression and compaction …

Chemical Vapor Deposited Amorphous Silicon For Use In Photothermal Conversion, David D. Allred, D. C. Booth, M. Janai, G. Weiser, B. O. Seraphin Nov 1978

Chemical Vapor Deposited Amorphous Silicon For Use In Photothermal Conversion, David D. Allred, D. C. Booth, M. Janai, G. Weiser, B. O. Seraphin

Faculty Publications

Efficient photothermal conversion requires surfaces of high solar absorptance and low thermal emittance. This can be accomplished by the tandem action of a good infrared reflector overlaid by a film of sufficient solar absorptance that is transparent in the infrared. Crystalline silicon is a suitable candidate for the absorber layer. Its indirect band gap, however, results in a shallow absorption edge that extends to far into the visible. In contrast, the absorption edge of amorphous silicon is steeper and located farther into the infrared, resulting in a larger solar absorptance. We report on the fabrication of amorphous silicon absorbers by …

Chemical Vapor Deposited Molybdenum Films For Use In Photothermal Conversion, David D. Allred, G. E. Carver, B. O. Seraphin

Faculty Publications

High infrared reflectance, coupled with higher solar absorptance, is required for efficient photothermal conversion. Converters can be fabricated by depositing an absorber on a highly reflecting metal. The absorber functions in the visible, yet becomes transparent in the near infrared, allowing the metal to suppress the thermal emittance. Economic considerations demand the use of thin films, rather than bulk materials. The thin film reflector must be capable of withstanding high temperatures of operation. Compatibility of the reflector with the substrate below, and the absorber above, is required for long-time service. Highly reflective silver films suffer reflectance losses by agglomeration, and …

An Emulsion Dye Laser, Kenneth Lee Matheson, James M. Thorne Nov 1978

An Emulsion Dye Laser, Kenneth Lee Matheson, James M. Thorne

Faculty Publications

A laser dye which is insoluble in water has been dissolved in hexane and emulsified in a water matrix. When pumped with a nitrogen laser, this mixture was observed to lase. The emulsion is superior to a simple hexane solution because the excellent thermo-optical properties of the water matrix help prevent refractive-index gradients from degrading laser performance. This is a useful characteristic for flash-pumped dye lasers, laser-pumped dye lasers, and liquid filters. Another type of solvent system, a critical solution, is also discussed. For certain dyes, a critical solution has even better thermo-optical properties because of its ability to absorb …

[3H]‑Raffinose, A Novel Radioactive Label For Determining Organ Sites Of Catabolism Of Proteins In The Circulation, Jonathon Van Zile, Lee A. Henderson, John W. Baynes, Suzanne R. Thorpe Sep 1978

[3H]‑Raffinose, A Novel Radioactive Label For Determining Organ Sites Of Catabolism Of Proteins In The Circulation, Jonathon Van Zile, Lee A. Henderson, John W. Baynes, Suzanne R. Thorpe

Faculty Publications

The primary tissue sites of catabolism of plasma proteins with long circulating half-lives are unknown. It has been difficult to identify these sites because plasma proteins are delivered to tissues at relatively slow rates but are rapidly degraded intracellularly within lysosomes. Therefore, a tracer attached to protein is lost from the site of uptake before an amount sufficient for quantitation can accumulate. We hypothesized that sucrose (Glupal-2 /3Fruf) would be a useful label to circumvent this difficulty because of the stability of sucrose in lysosomes; and thus, sucrose should remain in tissue long after the protein to which it was …

Locus Of Control, Knowledge Of Ethics, And Perceived Ethicality As Influenced By An Authority Figure, F. Matthew Mihelic, William G. Connolly May 1978

Locus Of Control, Knowledge Of Ethics, And Perceived Ethicality As Influenced By An Authority Figure, F. Matthew Mihelic, William G. Connolly

Faculty Publications

The present study investigated the relationship between a subject's locus of control, knowledge of psychological ethical research principles, and perceived ethicality of a psychological research proposal as influenced by an authority figure. Subjects were asked to judge the ethicality of a research proposal, which half were led to believe had been previously deemed unethical by an authority figure. No mention was made of the authority figure's viewpoint to the other subjects. The major finding was that the variability in ratings in ethicality of the research proposal tended to diminished from the no mention to the rejection manipulation in those of …

Maximal Residue Difference Sets Modulo P, Duncan A. Buell, Kenneth S. Williams

Faculty Publications

Let p ≡ 1 (mod 4) be a prime. A residue difference set modulo p is a set S = {ai} of integers ai such that (ai/p) = +1 and ((ai - aj)/p) = +1 for all i and j with i ≠ j, where (n/p) is the Legendre symbol modulo p. Let mp be the cardinality of a maximal such set S. The authors estimate the size of mp.

Tip-Angle-Dependent Magnetic Relaxation In Superfluid 3he, Richard A. Webb Mar 1978

Tip-Angle-Dependent Magnetic Relaxation In Superfluid 3he, Richard A. Webb

Faculty Publications

Using a pulsed superconducting-quantum-interference-device (SQUID) NMR technique, relaxation of the longitudinal magnetization in superfluid 3He has been measured in magnetic fields of 31, 102, 180, and 306 Oe in the pressure range 16-26 bar. It is observed that in both superfluid phases there is a temperature-dependent, well-defined spin-tipping angle, θc, for which the relaxation of the magnetization changes from an exponential to a nonexponential behavior.

Studies Of Handicapped Students: Volume Ii: Teacher Identification Of Handicapped Pupils (Ages 6-11) Compared With Identification Using Other Indicators, Patricia Craig, David Kaskowitz, Mary Malgoire

Faculty Publications

Presented is a two-volume study of the characteristics of students identified as handicapped from educational, clinical, and psychological evaluations. The first volume describes an analysis (based on surveys collected by the National Center for Health Statistics) of the affects on identification of 14,185 6- to 17-year old students of family income, race, population size of place of residence, and geographic location. Among six primary findings reviewed are that all three types of teacher-identified handicaps (physical, mental, and speech) were significantly concentrated in the low income elementary school population, and that teachers identified both mental and speech handicaps at a significantly …
