The plasma-puff triggering mechanism based on a hypocycloidal pinch geometry was investigated to determine the optimal operating conditions for the azimuthally uniform surface flashover which initiates plasma-puff under wide range of fill gas pressure of Ar, He and N2. The optimal fill gas pressure for the azimuthally uniform plasma-puff was about 120 mTorr and 450 Torr for He and N2, and between 120 mTorr and 5 Torr for Ar. The inverse pinch switch was triggered with the plasma-puff and the...

Introduction One of the characteristic features of the Latin American political land- scape is a phenomenon best described as a civic strike: the collective suspension of normal activities by people of diverse social groups united by a common political objective? Latin Americans themselves have most often used the term "general strike" (huelgageneral,or grhe gidral in Haiti) to describe such actions, but this term, obviously borrowed from the labor movement, obscures the distinctive...

Our research goals are to design and implement novel schemes in order to utilize the optical and electrical properties of III-V semiconductors devices grown by MBE and to enhance their performance. Intimately tied to this is the characterization of optical devices such as modulators, lasers, and detectors as well as an understanding of the underlying optical processes involved. GaAs based materials as well as InGaAs and InP material systems are investigated for possible optoelectronic...

The fractal properties of percolation clusters in the long range bond or meanfield limit were investigated via Monte Carlo simulations and by the use of scaling arguments. These investigations were undertaken because it is these meanfield structures that initiate nucleation near the spinodal. The key results were that the fractal dimension of such clusters is four independent of the dimension of the imbedding space and different from the Hausdorf dimension and that the density of these clusters...

Although software engineering evolved pragmatically from efforts to develop practical paradigms for the development of reliable large-scale software systems, our work was based on the belief that significant progress would result from the kind of fundamental understanding that could only be obtained from deeper understanding of the underlying theoretical issues using models of computation fundamentally different from those studied in the now classical theory of computation. Our research has...

In this report, proliferating and differentiated myogenic cells have been used to evaluate the effects of hypoxia on the cell cycle distribution and protein synthesis in vascular smooth muscle. The data demonstrate potentiation of myocyte responsiveness to growth stimuli by hypoxia. The modulation of phenotype was also observed as reduced glucose consumption and lactate production rates. Although the induction of GRPs and ORPs in myogenic cells was independent of their state of differentiation;...

In investigating the effects of magnetic field on the output power of a plasma filled Backward Wave Oscillator, It was found that within a certain range of magnetic field the growth rate of beam plasma cyclotron interaction is significantly larger than the conventional backward wave oscillation. Computer simulations of a 100 GHz electron cyclotron autoresonance master oscillator have been carried out. (jhd)

The research vehicle for this contract is the largest possible computer than can be conceived for the mid to late 1990's. We call this machine an 'American Resource Computer' or 'ARC'. We imagine this machine to occupy several floors of a building. The nation could probably only afford one or two ARC's. The machine will be used to solve large-scale scientific problems having both military and civilian applications. This investigation addresses the hardware technology, software techniques,...

For the first time, the branching ratio for the H + NF2 has been measured using direct detection of the excited NF a(1) delta and the ground NF(X3 delta -) states. NF a(1) delta was observed by its emission at 874 nm from both the 249 nm photolysis of NF2 and from the reaction of H atoms (produced from HBr photolysis at 193 nm) with NF2. While NF X3 delta - was easily detected by laser induced fluorescence on the NF b(1) delta - X3 delta - transition following 249 nm NF2 photolysis, it was no...

This program will address the following issues: Previous studies on small (1-kW), premixed, gas-fueled combustors have demonstrated suppression of longitudinal mode combustion instability using pressure (or heat release) feedback and loudspeaker modulation. Can the same results be achieved on a larger scale (200 kW), liquid-fueled combustor using a more practical actuation means? Owing to the high order and nonlinear nature of the processes involved, we would expect that a single, linear,...

The performance of perfluoropolyalkylether (PFPE) oils under boundary lubrication conditions was tested using 440C stainless steel, silicon nitride/ 440C hybrid, and titanium nitride hard-coated ball-bearing components. By limiting the chemical interactions between the lubricant and iron, the performance was extended by a factor of 5 to 10 using the ceramic materials instead of 440C components. The maximum performance enhancement for the PFPE oils under our test conditions was limited by...
