A high resolution stratospheric version of the NCAR Community Climate Model (CCM2) with an annual cycle was used to simulate the global transport and dispersion of the Pinatuboa aerosol cloud. A passive tracer was injected into the model stratosphere over the Philippines Islands on model day June15, and the transport...
Letters included were sent to request increased funding for the Titles I and II of the Tribally Controlled College or University Assistance Act. Another letter to the director of Indian Health Services expresses concern over funding delays to the tribes for diabetes.
Letter from federally-recognized treaty fishing tribes of the Columbia River Basin to Darlene Hooley requesting continued funding for the Fish Passage Center.
The defect mechanisms that underpin the high energy density dielectric 0.8BaTiO₃–0.2Bi(Zn₁/₂Ti₁/₂) O₃
were investigated. Characterization of the nominally stoichiometric composition revealed the
presence of a Ti³⁺-related defect center, which is correlated with lower resistivities and an
electrically heterogeneous microstructure. In compositions with 2 mol. % Ba-deficiency, a barium
vacancy-oxygen vacancy...

This thesis is the first third of a coming of age novel called i. In this selection the central character, Bea Bouvier, prepares to see her estranged mother on a cruise ship to the Bahamas. She hopes her parents will decide to reunite as a family, though it becomes increasingly...
The effect of a static quadrupole interaction on the 133-482 Kev
gamma-gamma angular correlation in Ta-181 has been studied by the
delayed coincidence method. Using a source of Hf-181 in polycrystalline
hafnium metal, the anisotropy was measured as a function of
time between the formation and decay of the 482...
The excitation and decay probabilities for resonance scattering
of radiation from an atom with two coupled excited states and one
ground state in an external static field are calculated as a function
of time and frequency. Various oscillatory behaviors are found in all
the probabilities. These oscillations depend on the...
A threestage, differentially pumped ion accelerator is used to produce low energy argon ions, which in turn, are used to bombard the surfaces of plane nickel single crystals. Nickel atoms ejected from the crystals are counted using the radioac tive tracing method. From the analysis of the angular distri butions...

We employ two different methods to generate controllable elliptical polarization of teraherz (THz) pulses. First, THz pulses are generated via optical rectification in nonlinear crystals using a pair of temporally separated and perpendicularly polarized optical pulses. The THz ellipticity is controlled by adjusting the relative time delay and polarization of...
The authors demonstrate a flexible terahertz pulse-shaping technique, manipulating spatially dispersed multifrequency components generated by optical rectification in a fanned-out periodically poled lithium niobate crystal. Spatial masks of low pass, high pass, and double slit in front of the crystal manipulate the spatial pattern of the optical excitation beam on...

Electroluminesence (EL) thermal quenching refers a reduction in luminance, concomitant with a reduction in transferred charge, when an alternating-current thin-film electroluminescent (ACTFEL) device is operated at an elevated temperature. EL thermal quenching is found to be significant in SrS:Cu ACTFEL devices operated above ~60-80 °C. Maximum transferred charge-maximum applied voltage...
BaCuQF (Q=S,Se) materials, candidate transparent p-type conductors, were prepared by solid-state reaction, and their bulk electrical and optical properties were evaluated. The room-temperature Seebeck coefficient and electrical conductivity of undoped BaCuQF pellets were +56 μV/K and 0.088 S/cm, respectively, for the sulfide fluoride, and +32 μV/K and 0.061 S/cm, respectively,...
