This work describes the fabrication of a high uranium density fuel for the
Reduced Enrichment of Research and Test Reactors Program. In an effort to decrease
the use of high enriched uranium in research and test reactors around the world, new
fuels with high uranium densities must be developed such...
Algorithms and MP1 parallel C programs are developed for constructing wavelet expansions of long-range potential functions with O(n) time complexity. A new high frequency correction algorithm is introduced. The emphasis is on the common potential expansion encountered in physics that behaves as l/r in three-dimensions. The central B-Splines are used...
There has been an increased interest in the
quantification of pattern in ecological systems over the past
years. This interest is motivated by the desire to construct
valid models which extend across many scales. Spatial methods
must quantify pattern, discriminate types of pattern, and
relate hierarchical phenomena across scales. Wavelet...
The Upper Devonian Fenstermaker Limestone is a thickening-upward sequence
of interbedded sandy intrapelsparite and subordinate calcareous siltstone and mudstone
which averages 190 ft (58 m) thick in the northern Antelope Range. The Fenstermaker
Limestone is revised and restricted herein to include only those rocks above a basinal
shale sequence of...
The Devonian Simonson and Guilmette Formations provide examples of
Cordilleran miogeosynclinal inner and middle shelf carbonate deposition
that act in response to changes in eustasy, sedimentation, and
tectonics. The Simonson Dolomite consists of four members that
collectively record three distinct transgressive-regressive cycles.
The Coarse Crystalline dolomudstone lithofacies represents restricted
upper...
Early Paleozoic limestones and dolomites of the shallow shelf
transitional facies belt were mapped in the southern Sulphur Spring
Range, Eureka County, Nevada. The four youngest units in the map area
are in fault contact with the Lower Devonian rocks and were probably
transported westward, along a low-angle normal fault....
This study describes the surface configuration of
Goodhue County and attempts to determine the origin of that
configuration. The research has a descriptive portion--an
objective examination of land surface configuration and the
composition and distribution of rock material underlying
that surface, and a theoretical portion--a speculative
examination of the factors...
