The mountain iron diffusion program: Phase II South Vandenverg: Volume 3

A series of field diffusion experiments conducted at Vandenberg Air Force Base, California are discussed. These tests were designed to provide the necessary data from which an empirical equation, derived by multiple regression analysis, has been developed. This equation is to be used as a range safety tool in support of missile activities on the Air Force Western Test Range at the Sudden Ranch Launch Complex, SLC-6. The field experiments utilized a fluorescent pigment, zinc sulfide, U. S. Radium Corporation designation No. 2210, as a tracer. Appro ximately 500 aspirated filters, located at 1. 5 m above the ground, were installed along concentric arcs at 500, 800 and 1000 m from the source, and along roadways at greater downwind distances. These samplers provided measurements of the downwind time-integrated distribution of the tracer. These data were supplemented by: ground and aerial air concentration sampling; and, meteorological data from several sites. Specific data are archived at the USAF Environmental Technical Applications Center

Raman spectroscopy of epitaxial graphene on a SiC substrate

The fabrication of epitaxial graphene (EG) on SiC substrate by annealing has attracted a lot of interest as it may speed up the application of graphene for future electronic devices. The interaction of EG and the SiC substrate is critical to its electronic and physical properties. In this work, Raman spectroscopy was used to study the structure of EG and its interaction with SiC substrate. All the Raman bands of EG blue shift from that of bulk graphite and graphene made by micromechanical cleavage, which was attributed to the compressive strain induced by the substrate. A model containing 13 x 13 honeycomb lattice cells of graphene on carbon nanomesh was constructed to explain the origin of strain. The lattice mismatch between graphene layer and substrate causes the compressive stress of 2.27 GPa on graphene. We also demonstrate that the electronic structures of EG grown on Si and C terminated SiC substrates are quite different. Our experimental results shed light on the interaction between graphene and SiC substrate that are critical to the future applications of EG.Comment: 20 pages, 5 figure

Expression of prodynorphin-derived peptides and mRNA in guinea-pig cortex

The distributions and extent of processing of four prodynorphin-derived peptides (dynorphin A (1-17), dynorphin A (1-8), dynorphin B, and [alpha]-neoendorphin) were determined in ten regions of the cortex as well as in the striatum of the guinea-pig. There were significant differences between concentrations of these peptides in most cortical regions, with [alpha]-neoendorphin being several times more abundant than the other peptides, and dynorphin A (1-17) being present in the least amount. There were significant between-region differences in concentration for each peptide, although most regions had concentrations similar to those seen in the striatum. Concentrations of each peptide tended to be higher in piriform, entorhinal, motor, and auditory cortex than in other cortical regions. The extent of processing of prodynorphin varied across cortical regions as well, primarily due to the extent of processing to [alpha]-neoendorphin. Prodynorphin mRNA levels were not significantly different between cortical regions or from the amount observed in the striatum. Although specific regional variation exists, it appears that in general prodynorphin is expressed and processed in a similar manner in the cortex as in the striatum.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/30648/1/0000290.pd

Expressed Sequence Tags from Cephalic Chemosensory Organs of the Northern Walnut Husk Fly, Rhagoletis suavis, Including a Putative Canonical Odorant Receptor

Rhagoletis fruit flies are important both as major agricultural pests and as model organisms for the study of adaptation to new host plants and host race formation. Response to fruit odor plays a critical role in such adaptation. To better understand olfaction in Rhagoletis, an expressed sequence tag (EST) study was carried out on the antennae and maxillary palps of Rhagoletis suavis (Loew) (Diptera: Tephritidae), a common pest of walnuts in eastern United States. After cDNA cloning and sequencing, 544 ESTs were annotated. Of these, 66% had an open reading frame and could be matched to a previously sequenced gene. Based on BLAST sequence homology, 9% (49 of 544 sequences) were nuclear genes potentially involved in olfaction. The most significant finding is a putative odorant receptor (OR), RSOr1, that is homologous to Drosophila melanogaster Or49a and Or85f. This is the first tephritid OR discovered that might recognize a specific odorant. Other olfactory genes recovered included odorant binding proteins, chemosensory proteins, and putative odorant degrading enzymes
