JAN transistor and diode characterization test program: JANTX diode 1N759A

The necessary data to create a new class of specifications was the objective of this characterization program. Sample selection was made according to the following criteria: (1) manufacturer or qualified distributor; (2) two vendors; and (3) two date codes. The general guidelines for procurement were two QPL vendors, JAN or JANTX, and two manufacturing lots, 27 from each lot. All data were acquired with three digit accuracy. The data processing and calculation of statistical parameters were performed by the Tektronix computer system using 4 digit display

Parent sources of Antarctic meteorites as inferred from pairing of the specimens

Antarctic meteorites may be derived from regions different than those from which comtemporary falls derive. If so, they are useful in reconstruction of their parent bodies or masses. To obtain a better understanding of the parent sources and their relation to asteroids, several Antarctic achondrites and unique chondrites were reinvestigated with electron microprobe and single crystal X-ray diffraction. Synthesis of their parent body was performed for three classes of meteorites on the basis of pairing of the specimens. The results are discussed for HED (Howardites, Eucrites, Diogenites) Parent Bodies, Ureilite Parent Bodies, and LL Chondrite Parent Bodies

Distribution of Snow and Maximum Snow Water Equivalent Obtained by LANDSAT Data and Degree Day Method

Maximum snow water equivalence and snowcover distribution are estimated using several LANDSAT data taken in snowmelting season over a four year period. The test site is Okutadami-gawa Basin located in the central position of Tohoku-Kanto-Chubu District. The year to year normalization for snowmelt volume computation on the snow line is conducted by year to year correction of degree days using the snowcover percentage within the test basin obtained from LANDSAT data. The maximum snow water equivalent map in the test basin is generated based on the normalized snowmelt volume on the snow line extracted from four LANDSAT data taken in a different year. The snowcover distribution on an arbitrary day in snowmelting of 1982 is estimated from the maximum snow water equivalent map. The estimated snowcover is compared with the snowcover area extracted from NOAA-AVHRR data taken on the same day. The applicability of the snow estimation using LANDSAT data is discussed

Conservativeness of non-symmetric diffusion processes generated by perturbed divergence forms

Let E be an unbounded open (or closed) domain in Euclidean space of dimension greater or equal to two. We present conservativeness criteria for (possibly reflected) diffusions with state space E that are associated to fairly general perturbed divergence form operators. Our main tool is a recently extended forward and backward martingale decomposition, which reduces to the well-known Lyons-Zheng decomposition in the symmetric case.Comment: Corrected typos, minor modification

JAN transistor and diode characterization test program, JANTX diode 1N649-1

The data processing and calculation of statistical parameters was performed by the Tektronix computer system. The data acquired for easy vendor to vendor and date code to date code analysis are summarized. Each parameter is presented with test conditions, mean, standard deviation, lowest reading, 10% point (where 10% of all readings are equal to or less than the indicated reading), 90% point (where 90% of all readings are equal to or less than the indicated reading) and the highest reading

Application of LANDSAT MSS data to the study of oceanographical environment

The author has identified the following significant results. LANDSAT MSS data of a three year time lapse indicate change of sea surface condition in Seto Inland Sea and coastal region. The red tide which formerly concentrated in the bay or inland sea now extends into an open sea. A small ocean vortex similar to mesoscale atmospheric vortex is revealed by the band 4 image of the satellite data. A manual photographic method applied to a single band image of MSS is effective in detecting sea surface pollution

Anisotropy and Ising-like transition of the S=5/2 two-dimensional Heisenberg antiferromagnet Mn-formate di-Urea

Recently reported measurements of specific heat on the compound Mn-formate di-Urea (Mn-f-2U) by Takeda et al. [Phys. Rev. B 63, 024425 (2001)] are considered. As a model to describe the overall thermodynamic behavior of such compound, the easy-axis two-dimensional Heisenberg antiferromagnet is proposed and studied by means of the 'pure quantum self-consistent harmonic approximation' (PQSCHA). In particular it is shown that, when the temperature decreases, the compound exhibits a crossover from 2D-Heisenberg to 2D-Ising behavior, followed by a 2D-Ising-like phase transition, whose location allows to get a reliable estimate of the easy-axis anisotropy driving the transition itself. Below the critical temperature T_N=3.77 K, the specific heat is well described by the two-dimensional easy-axis model down to a temperature T*=1.47 K where a T^3-law sets in, possibly marking a low-temperature crossover of magnetic fluctuations from two to three dimensions.Comment: 3 pages, 2 figures, 47th Annual Conference on Magnetism and Magnetic Materials (Tampa, FL, USA, 11-15/11/2002
