Driving lamps by induction
An electrodeless lamp circuit with a coil surrounding a krypton lamp is driven by an RF input source. A coil surrounding a mercury lamp is tapped across the connection of the input central to the krypton-lamp coil. Each coil is connected in parallel with separate capacitors which form resonant circuits at the input frequency
Quartz crystal microbalance use in biological studies
Design, development, and applications of quartz crystal microbalance are discussed. Two types of crystals are used. One serves as reference and other senses changes in mass. Specific application to study of bacterial spores is described
Getting to the Table: Creating the Forum for Negotiations in Deep-Rooted Conflicts
The first step in the conflict resolution process is establishing a forum in which cooperative negotiation can occur among the parties. Three aspects of this getting to the table process are analyzed: functional requirements for the table or setting, methods of getting the parties there, and value choices about the nature of the table and the process there
X-33 Flight Visualization
The X-33 flight visualization effort has resulted in the integration of high-resolution terrain data with vehicle position and attitude data for planned flights of the X-33 vehicle from its launch site at Edwards AFB, California, to landings at Michael Army Air Field, Utah, and Maelstrom AFB, Montana. Video and Web Site representations of these flight visualizations were produced. In addition, a totally new module was developed to control viewpoints in real-time using a joystick input. Efforts have been initiated, and are presently being continued, for real-time flight coverage visualizations using the data streams from the X-33 vehicle flights. The flight visualizations that have resulted thus far give convincing support to the expectation that the flights of the X-33 will be exciting and significant space flight milestones... flights of this nation's one-half scale predecessor to its first single-stage-to-orbit, fully-reusable launch vehicle system
Phi meson production in near threshold proton-nucleus collisions
The cross section for production of Phi mesons in proton-nucleus reactions is
calculated as a function of the target mass. The decay width of the Phi meson
is affected by the change of the masses of the Phi, K+ and K- mesons in the
medium. A strong attractive K- potential leads to a measurable change of the
behavior of the cross section as a function of of the target mass. Comparison
between the kaon and electron decay modes are made.Comment: 4 pages, 1figure, new figure, new reference
