The nature and scope of agglomeration effects of city size and advanced scientific training on industrial research laboratories
Nature and scope of agglomeration effects of city size and advanced scientific training on industrial research laboratories, studied by statistical sampling method
Avionics test bed development plan
The plan is for a facility for the early investigation and evaluation of new concepts for the control of large space structures, orbiter attached flex body experiments, and orbiter enhancements. This plan outlines a distributed data processing facility that will utilize the current JSC laboratory resources for the test bed development. The future studies required for implementation, the management system for project control, and the baseline system configuration are described
Avionics test bed development plan
A development plan for a proposed avionics test bed facility for the early investigation and evaluation of new concepts for the control of large space structures, orbiter attached flex body experiments, and orbiter enhancements is presented. A distributed data processing facility that utilizes the current laboratory resources for the test bed development is outlined. Future studies required for implementation, the management system for project control, and the baseline system configuration are defined. A background analysis of the specific hardware system for the preliminary baseline avionics test bed system is included
Evolutionary Dynamics While Trapped in Resonance: A Keplerian Binary System Perturbed by Gravitational Radiation
The method of averaging is used to investigate the phenomenon of capture into
resonance for a model that describes a Keplerian binary system influenced by
radiation damping and external normally incident periodic gravitational
radiation. The dynamical evolution of the binary orbit while trapped in
resonance is elucidated using the second order partially averaged system. This
method provides a theoretical framework that can be used to explain the main
evolutionary dynamics of a physical system that has been trapped in resonance.Comment: REVTEX Style, Submitte
SHOP2: An HTN Planning System
The SHOP2 planning system received one of the awards for distinguished
performance in the 2002 International Planning Competition. This paper
describes the features of SHOP2 which enabled it to excel in the competition,
especially those aspects of SHOP2 that deal with temporal and metric planning
domains
Soybean Inoculant Quality
Research studies have shown that from 40 to 80 percent of the nitrogen required for a soybean crop comes from nitrogen fixed in the nodules, depending on the degree of nodulation and the level of soil nitrogen. Hence, it is important that soybean plants be well-nodulated for most efficient soybean production
A serological investigation of caseous lymphadenitis in four flocks of sheep
A double antibody sandwich ELISA developed by ID-DLO, Lelystad to detect Corynebocterium pseudotuberculosis infection was used on 329 sheep from four pedigree Suffolk flocks in which clinical cases of caseous lymphadenitis (CLA) had occurred. At subsequent necropsy, typical CLA lesions were seen in 133 sheep, and the diagnosis was confirmed on culture. Lesions were most commonly seen in lungs (n = 46), parotid lymph nodes (n = 44), prescapular lymph nodes (n = 38) and mediastinal lymph nodes (n = 31). The sensitivity of the ELISA test for detecting culture-positive sheep was 0.88, while the specificity of the test was 0.55. The antibody ELISA detected 87.5 per cent of sheep that had CLA lesions restricted to internal organs only. It was concluded that the ELISA test has a valuable role in detecting sheep with both clinical and subclinical CLA
Nuclear medium modifications of the NN interaction via quasielastic () and () scattering
Within the relativistic PWIA, spin observables have been recalculated for
quasielastic () and () reactions on a Ca
target. The incident proton energy ranges from 135 to 300 MeV while the
transferred momentum is kept fixed at 1.97 fm^{-1}. In the present
calculations, new Horowitz-Love--Franey relativistic NN amplitudes have been
generated in order to yield improved and more quantitative spin observable
values than before. The sensitivities of the various spin observables to the NN
interaction parameters, such as (1) the presence of the surrounding nuclear
medium, (2) a pseudoscalar versus a pseudovector interaction term, and (3)
exchange effects, point to spin observables which should preferably be measured
at certain laboratory proton energies, in order to test current nuclear models.
This study also shows that nuclear medium effects become more important at
lower proton energies ( 200 MeV). A comparison to the limited available
data indicates that the relativistic parametrization of the NN scattering
amplitudes in terms of only the five Fermi invariants (the SVPAT form) is
questionable.Comment: 10 pages, 6 Postscript figures, uses psfig.sty and article.sty,

Modest Means to Reduce Carbon in Croydon Schools
In this project we worked with the Croydon Council to implement CarbonHub in five Croydon schools and develop an energy reduction action plan for a school. We visited each of these five schools to personally train staff members selected by the school. Afterwards we prepared five tools for EaST to use in the future: a generic action plan, a data collection tool for CarbonHub, a short presentation, a list of non-profit environmental organizations, and written content to update their website
