AC Loss and Contact Resistance In Copper-Stabilized Nb3Al Rutherford Cables with and without a Stainless Steel Core

Calorimetric measurements of AC loss and hence interstrand contact resistance (ICR), were measured on three samples of Rutherford cable wound with Cu-stabilized jelly-roll type unplated Nb3Al strand. One of the cable types was furnished with a thin core of AISI 316L stainless steel and the other two were both uncored but insulated in different ways. The cables were subjected to a room-temperature-applied uniaxial pressure of 12 MPa that was maintained during the reaction heat treatment (RHT), then vacuum impregnated with CTD 101 epoxy, and repressurized to 100 MPa during AC-loss measurement. The measurements were performed at 4.2 K in a sinusoidal field of amplitude 400 mT at frequencies of 1 to 90 mHz (no DC-bias field) that was applied both perpendicular and parallel to the face of the cable (the face-on, FO, and edge-on, EO, directions, respectively). For the cored cable the FO-measured effective ICR (FO-ICR), was 5.27 . Those for the uncored cables were less than 0.08 . As shown previously for NbTi- and Nb3Sn-based Rutherford cables, the FO-ICR can be significantly increased by the insertion of a core, although in this case it is still below the range recommended for accelerator-magnet use. Post-measurement dissection of one of the cables showed that the impregnating resin had permeated between the strands and coated the core with a thin, insulating layer excepting for some sintered points of contact. In the uncored cables the strands were coated with resin except for the points of interstrand contact. It is suggested that in the latter case this tendency for partial coating leads to a processing-sensitive FO-ICR.Comment: Four pages, with two figure

Criminal Law and Procedure

Probably the single most important development of the year came from the Joint Committee for the Revision of the Penal Code. That committee published its Tentative Draft No.1. The draft deals with general principles of liability, defenses, kidnapping and related crimes, sex crimes and arson. Other drafts are expected in the near future. It is hoped that the ultimate result will be a modernization of the Penal Code of 1872, which is badly in need of clarification and revision. Since 1872, there has never been a continuing and coordinated effort to develop a coherent and comprehensive code. Another important development is the new Journal of California Law Enforcement. The Journal, now in its second year, is published by the California Peace Officers\u27 Association for its members, and contains articles on such problems as black power, advising minors of their rights, the rights of arrested persons in general, some technical articles, as well as articles designed to improve police administration. Each issue includes a discussion of recent decisions

EDUCATION THROUGH SIMULATION

SourceURL:file://localhost/Users/Mac/Desktop/653Abstract.docx Abstract The purpose of this study was to determine if education through simulation was effective in an undergraduate ADN nursing program to improve nursing confidence, knowledge, skill competency, and nursing care. Two groups of second year RN students were selected in their fall semester to participate in a before and after survey to compare traditional learning (required course readings, assignments, and lectures) with the PROMPT Birthing Simulator that allows hands on, interactive learning, and feedback in preparation for the Mother-Baby clinical setting. The first PDSA cycle with Group A revealed 21% were confident in their knowledge with the traditional learning. Post simulation 47% indicated enhanced confidence and knowledge. The second PDSA cycle was performed on Group B and resulted in 36% feeling confident with traditional learning. Post simulation revealed a 72% increase in confidence and knowledge. Many students verbalized education through simulation was useful and beneficial by enhancing confidence, knowledge, and skill competency. Students report the PROMPT Birthing Simulator better prepared them for the clinical setting by solidifying proper techniques. The PROMPT Birthing Simulator proved to be an effective and useful method, as well as offered students a safe learning environment without the risk of patient harm. Key words: Simulation, education, training, learning methods, learning outcomes, student perceptions, patient safet

Stolen Future, Broken Present

This book argues that climate change has a devastating effect on how we think about the future. Once several positive feedback loops in Earth’s dynamic systems, such as the melting of the Arctic icecap or the drying of the Amazon, cross the point of no return, the biosphere is likely to undergo severe and irreversible warming. Nearly everything we do is premised on the assumption that the world we know will endure into the future and provide a sustaining context for our activities. But today the future of a viable biosphere, and thus the purpose of our present activities, is put into question. A disappearing future leads to a broken present, a strange incoherence in the feel of everyday life. We thus face the unprecedented challenge of salvaging a basis for our lives today. That basis, this book argues, may be found in our capacity to assume an infinite responsibility for ecological disaster and, like the biblical Job, to respond with awe to the alien voice that speaks from the whirlwind. By owning disaster and accepting our small place within the inhuman forces of the biosphere, we may discover how to live with responsibility and serenity whatever may come

Warm Cores around Regions of Low-Mass Star Formation

Warm cores (or hot corinos) around low-mass protostellar objects show a rich chemistry with strong spatial variations. This chemistry is generally attributed to the sublimation of icy mantles on dust grains initiated by the warming effect of the stellar radiation. We have used a model of the chemistry in warm cores in which the sublimation process is based on extensive laboratory data; these data indicate that sublimation from mixed ices occurs in several well-defined temperature bands. We have determined the position of these bands for the slow warming by a solar-mass star. The resulting chemistry is dominated by the sublimation process and by subsequent gas-phase reactions; strong spatial and temporal variations in certain molecular species are found to occur, and our results are, in general, consistent with observational results for the well-studied source IRAS 16293-2422. The model used is similar to one that describes the chemistry of hot cores. We infer that the chemistry of both hot cores and warm cores may be described by the same model (suitably adjusted for different physical parameters).Comment: 11 pages, 5 figures, 2 tables.
