Completion Report: Arkansas State Pesticides in Ground Water Monitoring Project Phase V: Vulnerable areas in Jackson, Monroe, Lawrence and Lonoke Counties
In 1996, sixty-seven water samples were drawn from 65 wells, including 62 new wells and 3 wells sampled previously . One Woodruff County well and two Pulaski County wells were resampled. Thirty-two samples were drawn from 30 wells in Monroe County (well #1 was sampled 3 times during this phase) . Ten wells in Jackson County, 12 wells in Lawrence County and 10 wells in Lonoke were also tested (Figures 1-5) . With the completion of Phase V, the number of wells tested has risen to 231 with a total of 258 samples analyzed . Initially, the wells were tested for 13 pesticides and ni~rate. Two more pesticides, aldicarb and carbofuran were added to the analyte list during Phase V. The analyte list is shown in Table 3 . All results from all the wells are listed in Appendix A. Quality control information for these data follow the results. The Phase V Quality Assurance Report is included in this document as Part II
Investigation of fast initialization of spacecraft bubble memory systems
Bubble domain technology offers significant improvement in reliability and functionality for spacecraft onboard memory applications. In considering potential memory systems organizations, minimization of power in high capacity bubble memory systems necessitates the activation of only the desired portions of the memory. In power strobing arbitrary memory segments, a capability of fast turn on is required. Bubble device architectures, which provide redundant loop coding in the bubble devices, limit the initialization speed. Alternate initialization techniques are investigated to overcome this design limitation. An initialization technique using a small amount of external storage is demonstrated

Boundary changing operators in the O(n) matrix model
We continue the study of boundary operators in the dense O(n) model on the
random lattice. The conformal dimension of boundary operators inserted between
two JS boundaries of different weight is derived from the matrix model
description. Our results are in agreement with the regular lattice findings. A
connection is made between the loop equations in the continuum limit and the
shift relations of boundary Liouville 3-points functions obtained from Boundary
Ground Ring approach.Comment: 31 pages, 4 figures, Introduction and Conclusion improve
Equivalences between spin models induced by defects
The spectrum of integrable spin chains are shown to be independent of the
ordering of their spins. As an application we introduce defects (local spin
inhomogeneities in homogenous chains) in two-boundary spin systems and, by
changing their locations, we show the spectral equivalence of different
boundary conditions. In particular we relate certain nondiagonal boundary
conditions to diagonal ones.Comment: 14 pages, 16 figures, LaTeX, Extended versio
Bubble memory module for spacecraft application
Bubble domain technology offers an all-solid-state alternative for data storage in onboard data systems. A versatile modular bubble memory concept was developed. The key module is the bubble memory module which contains all of the storage devices and circuitry for accessing these devices. This report documents the bubble memory module design and preliminary hardware designs aimed at memory module functional demonstration with available commercial bubble devices. The system architecture provides simultaneous operation of bubble devices to attain high data rates. Banks of bubble devices are accessed by a given bubble controller to minimize controller parts. A power strobing technique is discussed which could minimize the average system power dissipation. A fast initialization method using EEPROM (electrically erasable, programmable read-only memory) devices promotes fast access. Noise and crosstalk problems and implementations to minimize these are discussed. Flight memory systems which incorporate the concepts and techniques of this work could now be developed for applications
Completion Report: Arkansas State Pesticides in Ground Water Monitoring Project Phase IV: Eastern Arkansas (Pulaski, Lee and Jackson Counties)
In 1995, fifty-two water samples were drawn from 49 new wells and 2 wells that had been previously sampled during earlier phases. These included twenty samples from 19 wells in eastern Pulaski County, thirteen wells in Lee County, 16 wells in Jackson County, two wells in Lonoke County, one well in Crittenden County and resamples of two wells in Woodruff County. Figure 1 shows the locations of the 3 counties where the majority of the samples were taken and Figures 2-4 show the monitoring locations withing these counties. The wells were tested for nitrate and 13 pesticides listed in Table 3. The data and associated quality control information for all the wells tested are included in Section 2: Phase IV Quality Assurance Report
A deformed analogue of Onsager's symmetry in the XXZ open spin chain
The XXZ open spin chain with general integrable boundary conditions is shown
to possess a q-deformed analogue of the Onsager's algebra as fundamental
non-abelian symmetry which ensures the integrability of the model. This
symmetry implies the existence of a finite set of independent mutually
commuting nonlocal operators which form an abelian subalgebra. The transfer
matrix and local conserved quantities, for instance the Hamiltonian, are
expressed in terms of these nonlocal operators. It follows that Onsager's
original approach of the planar Ising model can be extended to the XXZ open
spin chain.Comment: 12 pages; LaTeX file with amssymb; v2: typos corrected,
