Z -> b\bar{b} Versus Dynamical Electroweak Symmetry Breaking involving the Top Quark
In models of dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking which sensitively
involve the third generation, such as top quark condensation, the effects of
the new dynamics can show up experimentally in Z->b\bar{b}. We compare the
sensitivity of Z->b\bar{b} and top quark production at the Tevatron to models
of the new physics. Z->b\bar{b} is a relatively more sensitive probe to new
strongly coupled U(1) gauge bosons, while it is generally less sensitive a
probe to new physics involving color octet gauge bosons as is top quark
production itself. Nonetheless, to accomodate a significant excess in
Z->b\bar{b} requires choosing model parameters that may be ruled out within run
I(b) at the Tevatron.Comment: LaTex file, 19 pages + 2 Figs., Fermilab-Pub-94/231-

Fluids confined in wedges and by edges: Virial series for the line-thermodynamic properties of hard spheres
This work is devoted to analyze the relation between the thermodynamic properties of a confined fluid and the shape of its confining vessel. Recently, new insights in this topic were found through the study of cluster integrals for inhomogeneous fluids that revealed the dependence on the vessel shape of the low density behavior of the system. Here, the statistical mechanics and thermodynamics of fluids confined in wedges or by edges is revisited, focusing on their cluster integrals. In particular, the well known hard sphere fluid, which was not studied in this framework so far, is analyzed under confinement and its thermodynamic properties are analytically studied up to order two in the density. Furthermore, the analysis is extended to the confinement produced by a corrugated wall. These results rely on the obtained analytic expression for the second cluster integral of the confined hard sphere system as a function of the opening dihedral angle 0 < β < 2π. It enables a unified approach to both wedges and edges.Fil: Urrutia, Ignacio. Comisión Nacional de Energía Atómica. Centro Atómico Constituyentes; Argentina.

Quantitation of buried contamination by use of solvents
Experiments directed at determining the potential of reclaimed silicone polymers for reuse are described
LANDSAT/coastal processes
The author has identified the following significant results. Correlations between the satellite radiance values water color, Secchi disk visibility, turbidity, and attenuation coefficients were generally good. The residual was due to several factors including systematic errors in the remotely sensed data, errors, small time and space variations in the water quality measurements, and errors caused by experimental design. Satellite radiance values were closely correlated with the optical properties of the water
