The Cleo-Iii Ring Imaging Cherenkov Detector, Raymond Mountain, Marina Artuso, R. Ayad, F. Azfar

Physics - All Scholarship

The CLEO-III Detector upgrade for charged particle identification is discussed. The RICH design uses solid LiF crystal radiators coupled with multi-wire chamber photon detectors, using TEA as the photosensor, and low-noise Viking readout electronics. Results from our beam test at Fermilab are presented.

[2,3:5,6]Dibenzo[2.2.2]Octa-2,5,7-Triene (C2/C) And [2,3:5,6]Dibenzo[2.2.2]Octa-2,5-Diene, Lary Burrows, John M. Masnovi, Ronald J. Baker

Chemistry Faculty Publications

Two barrelene homologs are reported. Strain in the bicyclic framework of [2,3:5,6]dibenzo[2.2.2]octa-2,5,7- triene, (I) (C16H12), which is manifest in the deviations from ideality of the bond angles in the central bicyclic ringoSyStem and compression of the double bond [1.312 (3)A], is reduced in the more saturated derivative, [2,3:5,6]dibenzo[2.2.2]octa-2,5-diene, (II) (CI6H14), with the corresponding single bond being 1.5380 (19)A. The formation of isomorphs of (I) in both chiral (C2) and achiral (C2/c) space groups has implications for asymmetric syntheses involving solid (I) which rely on a non-centrosymmetric space group.

Comparison Of Toms And Avhrr Volcanic Ash Retrievals From The August 1992 Eruption Of Mt. Spurr, N. A. Krotkov, O. Torres, C. Seftor, A. J. Krueger, A. Kostinski, William I. Rose, Gregg J. Bluth, D. Schneider, S. J. Schaefer

Department of Geological and Mining Engineering and Sciences Publications

On August 19, 1992, the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) onboard NOAA-12 and NASA's Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) onboard the Nimbus-7 satellite simultaneously detected and mapped the ash cloud from the eruption of Mt. Spurr, Alaska. The spatial extent and geometry of the cloud derived from the two datasets are in good agreement and both AVHRR split window IR (11–12µm brightness temperature difference) and the TOMS UV Aerosol Index (0.34–0.38µm ultraviolet backscattering and absorption) methods give the same range of total cloud ash mass. Redundant methods for determination of ash masses in drifting volcanic clouds offer many advantages …

Valence-Band Electronic Structure Of Co3O4 Epitaxy On Coo(100), Marjorie Langell, M.D. Anderson, G.A. Carson, L. Peng, S. Smith

Marjorie A. Langell Publications

Valence-band photoemission studies have been performed on a CoO(100) single crystal as it is slowly oxidized under 1×10^-4 Torr O₂ at 623 K, eventually forming a Co₃O₄ epitaxial film. The most significant changes occur in 3d-related features, with the peak located at the top of the valence band sharpening and shifting to lower binding energies as the spinel oxide forms. Constant initial-state measurements indicate that Co₃O₄ contains admixture from neighboring O 2p in its 3d band, as observed for CoO and other monoxide charge-transfer insulators. Unlike the rocksalt …

Computational Complexity Of Determining The Barriers To Interface Motion In Random Systems, Alan Middleton

Physics - All Scholarship

The low-temperature driven or thermally activated motion of several condensed matter systems is often modeled by the dynamics of interfaces (co-dimension-1 elastic manifolds) subject to a random potential. Two characteristic quantitative features of the energy landscape of such a many-degree-of-freedom system are the ground-state energy and the magnitude of the energy barriers between given configurations. While the numerical determination of the former can be accomplished in time polynomial in the system size, it is shown here that the problem of determining the latter quantity is NP-complete. Exact computation of barriers is therefore (almost certainly) much more difficult than determining the …

Continuation-Passing Style Versus Direct Style: Choosing An Intermediate Representation For Higher-Order Applicative Languages, Paul Andrew Seale

Dissertations and Theses

This study analyzes the use of a continuation-passing style (CPS) intermediate representation versus a direct style intermediate representation in the compilation of a higher-order applicative language. The translator used accepts a program written in an ML-like language as input, and outputs a C program acceptable to a standard C compiler. The effects of the translator's simplification and higher-order function removal transformations on the intermediate language are the primary focus of the analysis. The machine code programs generated from both representations are also analyzed.

Initially, the programs under the direct style representation performed better than those that underwent the CPS transformation. …
