As the Large Hadron Collider undergoes upgrades to increase luminosity, more detectors and faster data processing is needed. The X2O is a custom electronics board to support operations in the Endcap Muon System of the ...
-
(1982)Numerous gardening publications report that the companion planting of various herbs among vegetable crops repels insects from the garden, thereby reducing insect damage considerably. An experiment was conducted to test the ...
-
(1976)This study was an attempt to reproduce the field variations observed during a particular polar magnetic substorm by a simple model current system. A line current model consisting of flow down field lines, along auroral ...
-
Endospore formation by Clostridium difficile is a vital part of the life cycle for this Gram-positive bacterium. During this process, the mothercell packages proteins into the developing endospore. However, the mechanisms ...
-
(1990)A test run of a new 4π neutron detector has been performed, studying the collisions of 30 Mev/u ¹⁴N with ¹⁰⁹Ag and ⁶⁰Ni. Average neutron multiplicities of the two reactions were determined after correction for background ...
-
(1990)The purpose of this paper is to report on tests of properties of selected fiber materials and scintillation oils for their use in a liquid scintillating fiber calorimeter at the Superconducting Super Collider (SSC). The ...

-
(1979)A study of the effects of methanol and water on the friability of lignite was made in an effort to quantify the extent of the effects and compare the utility of the two liquids. The friability of the lignite will be an ...
-
(1980)A study was made to determine the effect of an electrolyte, namely sodium chloride(NaCl), on the apparent viscosity of coal suspensions in water. This required a fundamental study of the behavior of the second electro-viscous ...
-
In recent years, a growing number of researchers have taken an interest in the relationship between psychopathology and sleep. However, few studies have investigated this relationship in vulnerable populations (e.g., preterm ...
-
(1987)The tetraploid cultivated cotton Gossypium hirsutum (2n=4x=52) normally will not form viable F₁ hybrids with G. davidsonii or any tetraploid homozygous for Le₂ᵈᵃᵛ. Many or most G. hirsutum plants are homozygous for alleles ...
-
(1980)It is evident that the lease versus purchase (sell) problem is both complex and multi-faceted. Thus, the purpose of the study was to analyze one basic aspect of the problem -- the lease models being used by lessors in ...
