Radionuclides In Dardanelle Lake In The Area Of The Nuclear I Facility: 1979-1981, D. M. Chittenden Ii
Radionuclides In Dardanelle Lake In The Area Of The Nuclear I Facility: 1979-1981, D. M. Chittenden Ii
Technical Reports
The variations of the concentrations of 90Sr and 137Cs at four stations in Dardanelle Reservoir were analyzed as functions of two parameters: concentration of ionic species and the activity released, Ar, from the two 900 Mw reactors which use the reservoir as a source of cooling water. Multiple regression analyses were performed on the radionuclide concentrations using the two parameters as predictors. The analyses indicated that 90Sr is in a state of equilibrium between the solution and the suspended sediment. The position of the equilibrium was found to be quite sensitive to changes in the concentration of alkaline earth cations, …
A Salt And Water Balance Model For A Silt Loam Soil Cropped To Rice And Soybean, J. T. Gilmour, J. A. Ferguson, B. R. Wells
A Salt And Water Balance Model For A Silt Loam Soil Cropped To Rice And Soybean, J. T. Gilmour, J. A. Ferguson, B. R. Wells
Technical Reports
A computer model was developed which described salt and water balances for a silt loam soil common to the Grand Praire physiographic region of Arkansas. A ten year period of weather data (1966-75) was used as input data for two divergent cases in regard to salt accumulation. Case one was a rice-soybean rotation with soybean irrigated, while case two was a rice-soybean-soybean rotation with soybean not irrigated. Salts considered were calcium, magnesium, sodium, sulfate and chloride as well as the precipitate, calcium carbonate. Where soybeans were not irrigated less evapotranspiration, more infiltration and less runoff were observed during the fallow …

Molybdenum Nutrition Of Crops In Kentucky, J. L. Sims
Molybdenum Nutrition Of Crops In Kentucky, J. L. Sims
Soil Science News and Views
Molybdenum (Mo) is one of eight micronutrient elements required for the growth of plants. Research conducted in California nearly 40 years ago established its need for plant growth. Mo deficiencies have been reported throughout the world, especially on acid soils in the United States, Australia, and New Zealand. Generally, the Mo requirement of leguminous crops is greater than for non~legumes, but many non-leguminous field and vegetable crops have responded to additions of fertilizer Mo under severe deficiency conditions. Of all the nutrient elements required by plants for growth, Mo is needed in smallest amounts.

Contours Of Constant Principal Angle And Constant Principal Azimuth In The Complex Ε Plane, R. M.A. Azzam
Contours Of Constant Principal Angle And Constant Principal Azimuth In The Complex Ε Plane, R. M.A. Azzam
Electrical Engineering Faculty Publications
For light reflection at a planar interface between two homogeneous isotropic media with complex relative dielectric function ε, we show that the constant-principal-angle contours are a family of semicircles, whereas the constantprincipal-azimuth contours are a family of (segments of) hyperbolas in the complex ε plane. We also find the exact envelope curve of both families and hence determine the domain of the ε plane of multiple (three) principal angles that is bougded by the envelope curve and the real axis. A unique and peculiar interface with ε = (5 - j√2)/27 is shown to have three coincident principal angles of …

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works
The crystalline perfection of wire sawn pieces of vapor grown single crystals of mercuric iodide was compared with the perfection of (00l) cleaved sections of the same crystal from which nuclear radiation detectors have been fabricated. The crystalline perfection was studied using neutron and gamma-ray diffraction rocking curves. Most of the gamma-ray data were obtained using a high intensity source of 153Sm gamma rays with a wavelength of λ = 0.12 Å. Some of the data were obtained using highly penetrating 198Au gamma rays with a shorter wavelength of λ = 0.03 Å. The neutrons had a wavelength of λ …

Hydrology Of The Sinking Creek System, Logan And Simpson Counties, Kentucky, James C. Cubbage
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
Southwest of Bowling Green, Kentucky, is the Western Pennyroyal, is a karstified area which has been neglected in the study of its ground water. About 100 square miles near Adairville were chosen for analysis to help rectify this lack of knowledge. The area is dominated by Sinking Creek, a surface-subsurface drainage system.
The main purpose of the study was to map the underground flow in the Sinking Creek area. The drainage system seemed to be typical for the Western Pennyroyal and exhibited many similarities to flow paths known in the Central Kentucky Karst.
The investigation proved to be of basic …
Hot-Wire Anemometer Behaviour In Low Velocity Air Flow, P. J. Christman, Josef Podzimek
Hot-Wire Anemometer Behaviour In Low Velocity Air Flow, P. J. Christman, Josef Podzimek
Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works
The behavior characteristics of a commercially available hot-wire anemometer have been examined in the presence of low velocities, lwss than 0.1 m/s for the most part, and in both horizontal and vertical air flows. The orientation of the probe in a horizontal flow has been found to have a definite effect on velocity measurements, and a lower limit to the reliable application of hot-wire anemometry has been evaluated for a particular type of probe. Vertical flow measurements have resulted in the discovery of the magnitude of natural convective velocity, and a possible method for determining the dimensions of the temperature …
The Anodic Stripping Voltammetry Determination Of Trace Elements In Coal Ash, Jesus Montoya
The Anodic Stripping Voltammetry Determination Of Trace Elements In Coal Ash, Jesus Montoya
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
The application of anodic stripping voltammetry (ASV) to the determination of several trace metals in coal ash was studied.
An ashing and ash digestion method was developed which limited the total salt and acid concentration of the analyte solutions, a necessary step for routine analysis. The simultaneous determination of cadmium, copper, lead, and zinc in eight Pennsylvania State University Coal Bank Samples and in the National Bureau of Standards SRM 1632a coal sample were made. Chromium was separated from the prepared coal ash solutions and determined independently in the form of chromate(VI).
All values determined by ASV methods were in …
Metrizability And The Frechet-Urysohn Property In Topological Groups, Peter J. Nyikos
Metrizability And The Frechet-Urysohn Property In Topological Groups, Peter J. Nyikos
Faculty Publications
A question of Arhangel'skii, whether weakly first countable topological groups are metrizable, is answered in two ways: if the Hausdorff axiom is assumed, the answer is yes, but in general a weakly first countable topological group need not be pseudometrizable. The former result is obtained as a corollary of a more general sufficient condition for a sequential group to be Fr&chet-Urysohn. A general necessary and sufficient condition for a sequential group to be Frechet-Urysohn is given, and a number of questions are raised. Examples are given to show in what respect the theorems of the paper are the "best possible".
Mid‐Level Intrusions At The Continental Shelf Edge, Christopher S. Welch
Mid‐Level Intrusions At The Continental Shelf Edge, Christopher S. Welch
VIMS Articles
Observations across the continental shelf offshore from New Jersey in late summer 1976 show an intrusion of saline water at the mid level of the water column across the shelf edge front, which appears in density only as an offshore thickening of the pycnocline. This internal density field produces horizontal pressure gradient forces within the pycnocline in the onshore direction. These forces, in the linearized equation of motion with a constant eddy viscosity, drive a circulation which resembles a double Ekman spiral for internal pressure vertical distributions which are thin with respect to the Ekman depth. For thick pressure distributions, …
Bilinear Equation For The Cylinder With Overlap And The Pomeron Residue, Paul Finkler, C. Edward Jones
Bilinear Equation For The Cylinder With Overlap And The Pomeron Residue, Paul Finkler, C. Edward Jones
Paul Finkler Papers
A bilinear integral equation for the cylinder is derived within the meson sector of the theory of dual topological unitarization. The equation is more general than conventional linear cylinder equations since it includes regions of phase space in which produced particles overlap in rapidity. The equation also permits a simple treatment of phase space which corresponds to that of the planar bootstrap problem. Two classes of solutions are found, only one of which results in the Pomero'n-f identity. This treatment also indicates that the residue of the Pomeron may be twice as large as that suggested by earlier calculations …

Some Results On Optimum Premium Payment Plans, Jeyaraj Vadiveloo, Kishan Mehrotra, Kenneth Kaminsky
Electrical Engineering and Computer Science - Technical Reports
Any insurance plan consists of a sequence of payments every year (or some other fixed time interval) in return for certain death benefits. The benefits may take the form of a wide variety of insurances or annuities. For simplicity, we will assume that premiums and benefits are paid annually. In this paper, we investigate the appropriateness of this type of plan. Naturally, appropriateness of any plan cannot be measured without an optimality criteria. Three such criteria, which are statistical in nature, are introduced in this paper. For the principal "safety" criterion which we use, the optimal premium are those which …

Additive Comparisons Of Stop Rule And Supremum Expectations Of Uniformly Bounded Independent Random Variables, Theodore P. Hill, Robert P. Kertz
Additive Comparisons Of Stop Rule And Supremum Expectations Of Uniformly Bounded Independent Random Variables, Theodore P. Hill, Robert P. Kertz
Research Scholars in Residence
Let XI, X2, . . . be independent random variables taking values in [a, b], and let T denote the stop rules for X1, X2, Then E(supn>1 Xn) - sup{ EXt t ≡ T} < (1/4)(b - a), and this bound is best possible. Probabilistically, this says that if a prophet (player with complete foresight) makes a side payment of (b - a)/8 to a gambler (player using nonanticipating stop rules), the game becomes at least fair for the gambler.
Use Of Magnesium (Mg) For Crop Production In Kentucky, John H. Grove
Use Of Magnesium (Mg) For Crop Production In Kentucky, John H. Grove
Soil Science News and Views
Magnesium (Mg) is an important element in the nutrition of plants and animals, although it has long been considered a "secondary" nutrient for plants. Nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) are "primary'' nutrients and are usually given the greatest consideration in crop fertility programs. However, as yield levels have risen, more attention has been directed towards Mg and other nutrient elements. Concern about hypomagnesemia (grass tetany) in ruminants (cattle, sheep) has led to particular concern about soil and plant Mg levels.

Statistics Of Multicharge Centers In Semiconductors - Applications, David C. Look
Statistics Of Multicharge Centers In Semiconductors - Applications, David C. Look
Physics Faculty Publications
A general formula is derived for the electron occupation numbers appropriate for multicharge centers in semiconductors, including excited states. The results are used to rederive and generalize several formulas of interest in the literature, in order to show exactly how the degeneracies of individual states enter in. Particular attention is paid to certain subjects which are sometimes confusing, such as how the statistics of band states differ from those those of localized states. Another subject of much recent interest, negative-U centers, is dealt with in some detail. We show how the dependence of the average occupation number on Fermi …

The magnetic and electrical properties of amorphous (Fe1-xNix)78-yCrySi10B12 alloys have been measured between 4.2 and 300 K. Alloys with x≤0.9 and y=5 order ferromagnetically. High-field magnetization measurements show saturation in moderate fields suggesting a relatively high value of magnetic anisotropy which was estimated to be K≃106 erg/cm3. The magnetization at low temperatures follows a T3/2 law leading to a spin-wave stiffness coefficient D≃90 meV Å2. The x=1, y=5 alloy behaves like a "cluster glass" with a cluster ordering temperature around 20 …

Massive Neutrinos And The Stellar Stopping Power Via The Neutrino Magnetic Moment, P.T. Leung, M. L. Rustgi, J. E. Turner, Werner Brandt
Physics Faculty Publications and Presentations
An exact expression is derived within the high-Q approximation for the spectrum of energy losses of neutrinos interacting via their magnetic moment with electrons. A formula for the stopping power of matter for neutrinos is derived and applied to the study of the solar neutrino anomaly. The total inelastic cross section is given. An upper limit is deduced for the neutrino magnetic moment from the antineutrino spectrum as recently parameterized by Lee (1979). It confirms the bound reported by Cowan and Reines. The distance for stellar neutrinos to thermalize by the interactions studied here, through encounters with stars is found …
