WIRE CHAMBERS ARE A CLASS OF PARTICLE TRACK DETECTORS THAT HAVE FOUND WIDE APPLICATIONS IN HIGH ENERGY PARTICLE PHYSICS EXPERIMENTS. LARGE WIRE CHAMBER DETECTORS HAVE BECOME RATHER COMPLEX, REQUIRING MANY FAST ELECTRONIC CIRCUITS. THIS INVESTIGATION OFFERS THE POTENTIAL OF SIMPLIFICATION AND COST REDUCTION FOR LARGE WIRE CHAMBER DETECTORS. THE PHASE I EFFORT IS INVESTIGATING THE FEASIBILITY OF USI ...

PHASE I ADDRESSES A NEW APPROACH FOR THE DESIGN OF HIGH POWER NUCLEAR TARGETS USED FOR PRODUCTION OF RADIOISOTOPES BY HIGH ENERGY CHARGED PARTICLE BEAMS, NOTABLY HIGH ENERGY PROTONS. SUCH TARGETS WILL YIELD LARGER QUANTITIES OF RADIOACTIVE SPECIES THAN PRESENTLY AVAILABLE, EITHER FOR BASIC RESEARCH (E.G., STUDIES USING RADIOACTIVE BEAMS) OR FOR APPLIED PURPOSES (E.G., PRODUCTION OF MEDICAL RADIOI ...

AMOCO PROCESS ACTIVATED CARBONS HAVE BEEN FOUND TO HAVE HIGH STORAGE CAPACITY FOR ALTERNATE FUEL VEHICLE ENERGY SOURCES SUCH AS HYDROGEN AND METHANE. NEARLY ALL OF THE GAS THESE CARBONS CAN STORE IS ADSORBED IN MICROPOROUS REGIONS WHERE PORE DIAMETERS ARE LESS THAN 40 A. HOWEVER, THE MICROPORES ONLY ACCOUNT FOR SOMEWHAT MORE THAN HALF OF THE TOTAL PORE VOLUME IN THESE MATERIALS. THE BLANCE OF T ...

COALESCING THE FRAGMENTED INFORMATION ASSOCIATED WITH EACH EVENT OF A HIGH-ENERGY PHYSICS DETECTOR AND THEN PROCESSING IT AT THE RATES DEMANDED BY ACCELERATOR SYSTEMS ARE AMONG THE LARGEST CHALLENGES IN THE PHYSICS COMMUNITY. NEW DETECTOR SYSTEMS CONTINUE TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF MEASURED PARAMETERS AND SIMULTANEOUSLY INCREASE THE RESOLUTION OF DETECTOR COMPONENTS SO THAT THE VOLUME OF GENRATED ...

MANY APPLICATIONS OF ELECTROPHORESIS INVOLVE SEPARATION OF DNA FRAGMENTS NOT ONLY FOR ANALYSIS BUT ALSO FOR SAMPLE ISOLATION AND PURIFICATION. RECOVERING DNA FROM ELECTROPHORETIC GELS AND PURIFYING IT IS AN INITIAL STEP IN PROCEDURES SUCH AS; THE POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION (PCR), DEVELOPING CLONING LIBRARIES FOR PHYSICAL MAPPING AND DNA SEQUENCING. PRESENT PROCEDURES FOR EXTRACTING DNA FROM A GEL M ...
