The Growth of Chickens as Effected by the Sunlight Transmitted through Glass Substitutes
Three weeks\u27 old chicks which had been deprived of direct sunlight and fed on a rachitic diet, were placed behind common glass and glass substitutes for four weeks. Those behind glass made an average gain of 180 per cent, while the groups behind the substitutes made gains of 300 per cent and 250 per cent. All outward appearances of rickets had disappeared among those behind the glass substitutes, while the disease was in evidence in the case of those behind glass
Initial Laboratory-Scale Melter Test Results for Combined Fission Product Waste
This report describes the methods and results used to vitrify a baseline glass, CSLNTM-C-2.5 in support of the AFCI (Advanced Fuel Cycle Initiative) using a Quartz Crucible Scale Melter at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. Document number AFCI-WAST-PMO-MI-DV-2009-000184
Dressing chain for the acoustic spectral problem
The iterations are studied of the Darboux transformation for the generalized
Schroedinger operator. The applications to the Dym and Camassa-Holm equations
are considered.Comment: 16 pages, 6 eps figure
Backlund transformations for many-body systems related to KdV
We present Backlund transformations (BTs) with parameter for certain
classical integrable n-body systems, namely the many-body generalised
Henon-Heiles, Garnier and Neumann systems. Our construction makes use of the
fact that all these systems may be obtained as particular reductions
(stationary or restricted flows) of the KdV hierarchy; alternatively they may
be considered as examples of the reduced sl(2) Gaudin magnet. The BTs provide
exact time-discretizations of the original (continuous) systems, preserving the
Lax matrix and hence all integrals of motion, and satisfy the spectrality
property with respect to the Backlund parameter.Comment: LaTeX2e, 8 page
Factorization of nonlinear supersymmetry in one-dimensional Quantum Mechanics. I: general classification of reducibility and analysis of the third-order algebra
We study possible factorizations of supersymmetric (SUSY) transformations in
the one-dimensional quantum mechanics into chains of elementary Darboux
transformations with nonsingular coefficients. A classification of irreducible
(almost) isospectral transformations and of related SUSY algebras is presented.
The detailed analysis of SUSY algebras and isospectral operators is performed
for the third-order case.Comment: 16 page
Generalization of the Darboux transformation and generalized harmonic oscillators
The Darbroux transformation is generalized for time-dependent Hamiltonian
systems which include a term linear in momentum and a time-dependent mass. The
formalism for the -fold application of the transformation is also
established, and these formalisms are applied for a general quadratic system (a
generalized harmonic oscillator) and a quadratic system with an inverse-square
interaction up to N=2. Among the new features found, it is shown, for the
general quadratic system, that the shape of potential difference between the
original system and the transformed system could oscillate according to a
classical solution, which is related to the existence of coherent states in the
system
Factorization of non-linear supersymmetry in one-dimensional Quantum Mechanics. II: proofs of theorems on reducibility
In this paper, we continue to study factorization of supersymmetric (SUSY)
transformations in one-dimensional Quantum Mechanics into chains of elementary
Darboux transformations with nonsingular coefficients. We define the class of
potentials that are invariant under the Darboux - Crum transformations and
prove a number of lemmas and theorems substantiating the formulated formerly
conjectures on reducibility of differential operators for spectral equivalence
transformations. Analysis of the general case is performed with all the
necessary proofs.Comment: 13 page

Preliminary Technology Maturation Plan for Immobilization of High-Level Waste in Glass Ceramics
A technology maturation plan (TMP) was developed for immobilization of high-level waste (HLW) raffinate in a glass ceramics waste form using a cold-crucible induction melter (CCIM). The TMP was prepared by the following process: 1) define the reference process and boundaries of the technology being matured, 2) evaluate the technology elements and identify the critical technology elements (CTE), 3) identify the technology readiness level (TRL) of each of the CTEâs using the DOE G 413.3-4, 4) describe the development and demonstration activities required to advance the TRLs to 4 and 6 in order, and 5) prepare a preliminary plan to conduct the development and demonstration. Results of the technology readiness assessment identified five CTEâs and found relatively low TRLâs for each of them: ⢠Mixing, sampling, and analysis of waste slurry and melter feed: TRL-1 ⢠Feeding, melting, and pouring: TRL-1 ⢠Glass ceramic formulation: TRL-1 ⢠Canister cooling and crystallization: TRL-1 ⢠Canister decontamination: TRL-4 Although the TRLâs are low for most of these CTEâs (TRL-1), the effort required to advance them to higher values. The activities required to advance the TRLâs are listed below: ⢠Complete this TMP ⢠Perform a preliminary engineering study ⢠Characterize, estimate, and simulate waste to be treated ⢠Laboratory scale glass ceramic testing ⢠Melter and off-gas testing with simulants ⢠Test the mixing, sampling, and analyses ⢠Canister testing ⢠Decontamination system testing ⢠Issue a requirements document ⢠Issue a risk management document ⢠Complete preliminary design ⢠Integrated pilot testing ⢠Issue a waste compliance plan A preliminary schedule and budget were developed to complete these activities as summarized in the following table (assuming 2012 dollars).

This TMP is intended to guide the development of the glass ceramics waste form and process to the point where it is ready for industrialization
