Neutron-image intensifier
Electronic intensifier tube with a demagnification ratio of 9-1 enhances the usefulness of neutron-radiographic techniques. A television signal can be obtained by optical coupling of a small-output phosphor-light image to a television camera
Persistence of singlet fluctuations in the coupled spin tetrahedra system Cu2Te2O5Br2 revealed by high-field magnetization and 79Br NQR - 125Te NMR
We present high-field magnetization and Br nuclear quadrupole
resonance (NQR) and Te nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies in the
weakly coupled Cu () tetrahedral system CuTeOBr.
The field-induced level crossing effects were observed by the magnetization
measurements in a long-ranged magnetically ordered state which was confirmed by
a strong divergence of the spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T1 at T0=13.5 K. In
the paramagnetic state, 1/T1 reveals an effective singlet-triplet spin gap much
larger than that observed by static bulk measurements. Our results imply that
the inter- and the intra-tetrahedral interactions compete, but at the same time
they cooperate strengthening effectively the local intratetrahedral exchange
couplings. We discuss that the unusual feature originates from the frustrated
intertetrahedral interactions.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, accepted in Phys. Rev. B as a Rapid

Bayesian Nonparametric Shrinkage Applied to Cepheid Star Oscillations
Bayesian nonparametric regression with dependent wavelets has dual shrinkage
properties: there is shrinkage through a dependent prior put on functional
differences, and shrinkage through the setting of most of the wavelet
coefficients to zero through Bayesian variable selection methods. The
methodology can deal with unequally spaced data and is efficient because of the
existence of fast moves in model space for the MCMC computation. The
methodology is illustrated on the problem of modeling the oscillations of
Cepheid variable stars; these are a class of pulsating variable stars with the
useful property that their periods of variability are strongly correlated with
their absolute luminosity. Once this relationship has been calibrated,
knowledge of the period gives knowledge of the luminosity. This makes these
stars useful as "standard candles" for estimating distances in the universe.Comment: Published in at http://dx.doi.org/10.1214/11-STS384 the Statistical

Study of infrared evaluation in qualification and failure analysis of semiconductor devices Final report, 28 Jun. 1967 - 10 Jun. 1969

Climate in Earth history
Complex atmosphere-ocean-land interactions govern the climate system and its variations. During the course of Earth history, nature has performed a large number of experiments involving climatic change; the geologic record contains much information regarding these experiments. This information should result in an increased understanding of the climate system, including climatic stability and factors that perturb climate. In addition, the paleoclimatic record has been demonstrated to be useful in interpreting the origin of important resources-petroleum, natural gas, coal, phosphate deposits, and many others

Thermal neutron image intensifier tube provides brightly visible radiographic pattern
Vacuum-type neutron image intensifier tube improves image detection in thermal neutron radiographic inspection. This system converts images to an electron image, and with electron acceleration and demagnification between the input target and output screen, produces a bright image viewed through a closed circuit television system
