Source Water Assessment Plan, Water Quality Division Feb 1999

Source Water Assessment Plan, Water Quality Division

Publications (WR)

The safe drinking water amendments of 1996 placed a strong emphasis on the goal to establish a nationwide effort to protect drinking water sources. As part of that goal, the legislation provided for a preliminary assessment of drinking water sources and an inventory of surrounding adjacent land use (ALUs). This nationwide effort will result in the first comprehensive look at the nation's drinking water sources from an assessment perspective. One of the outcomes of this nationwide assessment will be information that public water systems (PWSs) can use to help determine appropriate monitoring frequencies and to protect their sources of drinking …

Structure-Function Relationships In The Pulmonary Arterial Tree, Christopher A. Dawson, Gary S. Krenz, Kelly Lynn Karau, Steven Thomas Haworth, Christopher C. Hanger, John H. Linehan Feb 1999

Structure-Function Relationships In The Pulmonary Arterial Tree, Christopher A. Dawson, Gary S. Krenz, Kelly Lynn Karau, Steven Thomas Haworth, Christopher C. Hanger, John H. Linehan

Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science Faculty Research and Publications

Knowledge of the relationship between structure and function of the normal pulmonary arterial tree is necessary for understanding normal pulmonary hemodynamics and the functional consequences of the vascular remodeling that accompanies pulmonary vascular diseases. In an effort to provide a means for relating the measurable vascular geometry and vessel mechanics data to the mean pressure-flow relationship and longitudinal pressure profile, we present a mathematical model of the pulmonary arterial tree. The model is based on the observation that the normal pulmonary arterial tree is a bifurcating tree in which the parent-to-daughter diameter ratios at a bifurcation and vessel distensibility are …


Survey Of Military Applications For Fourier Transform Infrared (Ftir) Spectroscopy, Robert G. Hauser Feb 1999

Survey Of Military Applications For Fourier Transform Infrared (Ftir) Spectroscopy, Robert G. Hauser

Theses and Dissertations

This paper surveyed four potential military uses for a Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectrometer. A physical method to retrieve vertical atmospheric temperature profiles using a least-squares solution on atmospheric radiance observed at the surface in the 4.3-micrometer carbon dioxide absorption band was analyzed. The method was not successful. Weighting functions, calculated from the surface looking up, were a maximum at the surface, so no unique solution for temperature retrieval by height was determined. Observed atmospheric radiance measurements were compared with radiance calculated using the Moderate Resolution Transmittance Code (MODTRAN). Qualitative comparison showed spectral features of observed and calculated radiance plots …


Analysis Of A Non-Trivial Queueing Network, Kelly Scott Bellamy Feb 1999

Analysis Of A Non-Trivial Queueing Network, Kelly Scott Bellamy

Theses and Dissertations

In studying complex queueing networks, one generally seeks to employ exact analytic solutions to reduce burden on computational resources. Barring the existence of an exact solution, the alternatives include approximation techniques and simulation. Approximation is the more attractive alternative from a time and effort perspective; however, cases exist that are not amiable to this technique. This work increases the flexibility of approximation techniques in obtaining estimates of congestion measures for complex, open queueing networks having several customer classes and class-dependent structures. We accomplish this by providing the procedure to aggregate multiple classes into a single class in order to apply …

Shared Information Goods, Yannis Bakos, Erik Brynjolfsson, Douglas Gary Lichtman

Coase-Sandor Institute for Law & Economics Research Paper Series

Once purchased, information goods are often shared among groups of consumers. Computer software, for example, can be duplicated and passed from one user to the next. Journal articles can be copied. Music can be dubbed. In this paper, we ask whether these various forms of sharing undermine seller profit. We compare profitability under the assumption that information goods are used only by their direct purchasers, with profitability under the more realistic assumption that information goods are sometimes shared within small social communities. We reach several surprising conclusions. We find, for example, that under certain circumstances sharing will markedly increase profit …


Stellar Kinematics Of The Double Nucleus Of M31, Thomas S. Statler, Ivan R. King, Philippe Crane, Robert I. Jedrzejewski Feb 1999

Stellar Kinematics Of The Double Nucleus Of M31, Thomas S. Statler, Ivan R. King, Philippe Crane, Robert I. Jedrzejewski

Dartmouth Scholarship

We report observations of the double nucleus of M31 with the f/48 long-slit spectrograph of the Hubble Space Telescope Faint Object Camera. We obtain a total exposure of 19,000 s over seven orbits, with the 0063-wide slit along the line between the two brightness peaks (P.A. 42°). Careful correction of the raw data for detector backgrounds and geometric distortion is essential. A spectrum of Jupiter obtained with the same instrument is used as a spectral template to extract rotation and velocity dispersion profiles by cross-correlation. The rotation curve is resolved and reaches a maximum amplitude of ~250 km s-1 roughly …

Internal Temperature Of Douglas-Fir Buds Is Altered At Elevated Temperature, Martha E. Apple, Melissa S. Lucash, David M. Olszyk, David T. Tingey, Donald L. Phillips Feb 1999

Internal Temperature Of Douglas-Fir Buds Is Altered At Elevated Temperature, Martha E. Apple, Melissa S. Lucash, David M. Olszyk, David T. Tingey, Donald L. Phillips

Environmental Science and Management Faculty Publications and Presentations

Pseudotsuga menziesii (Douglas-fir) saplings were grown in sun-lit controlled environment chambers at ambient or elevated (4°C above ambient) temperature. We measured internal temperatures of vegetative buds with thermocouple probes and compared temperatures of normal buds and abnormal buds with loosened, rosetted outer scales in elevated temperature chambers. The abnormal buds had higher and earlier peak daily temperatures than normal buds. Elevated temperature may influence the internal temperature of buds and contribute to the development of abnormal, rosetted buds with loosened outer scales. Abnormal bud development may alter branching patterns and allometry of Douglas-fir trees subjected to climatic change.

Effect Of Uniform Electric Field On Homogeneous Vapor–Liquid Nucleation And Phase Equilibria. Ii. Extended Simple Point Charge Model Water, G.T. Gao, K.J. Oh, Xiao Cheng Zeng

Xiao Cheng Zeng Publications

The effects of a uniform electric field on homogeneous vapor–liquid nucleation of the extended simple point charge (SPC/E) model water have been simulated. A grand canonical Monte Carlo simulation approach [I. Kusaka et al., J. Chem. Phys. 108, 3416 (1998)], which directly gives the equilibrium distribution of physical clusters, is employed to calculate the formation free energy of the SPC/E water cluster. The results show that the formation free energy is lowered in a uniform field if the chemical potential of the supersaturated vapor is fixed; in this case, the field enhances the rate of nucleation. However, if the vapor …

Measurement Of The Mass Splittings Between The Bb̅ΧB,J(1P) States, K. W. Edwards, Kenneth A. Bloom, Cleo Collaboration Feb 1999

Measurement Of The Mass Splittings Between The Bb̅ΧB,J(1P) States, K. W. Edwards, Kenneth A. Bloom, Cleo Collaboration

Kenneth Bloom Publications

We present new measurements of photon energies and branching fractions for the radiative transitions Υ(2S) → γχb(J=0,1,2)(1P). The masses of the χb states are determined from the measured radiative photon energies. The ratio of mass splittings between the χb substates, r ≡ [(MJ=2 -MJ=1)/( MJ=1 - MJ=0), with M the χb mass, provides information on the nature of the bb̅ confining potential. We find r(1P)=0.542 ±0.022±0.024. This value is somewhat lower than the previous world average, but more consistent with …
