THE APPLICATION OF CAPILLARY SUPERCRITICAL FLUID CHROMATOGRAPHY TO ANALYSIS OF THREE COMPLEX OLIGOMERIC MIXTURES OF WIDE INDUSTRIAL IMPORTANCE IS PROPOSED. SEPARATION OF EACH OLIGOMERIC MIXTURE WILL BE EVALUATED WITH RESPECT TO THREE DIFFERENT STATIONARY PHASES. EACH STATIONARY PHASE WILL BE INVESTIGATED AT A MINIMUM OF THREE ISOTHERMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURES, AT LEAST THREE DIFFERENT MOBILE PHASE ...

THIS PROPOSAL DESCRIBES A UNIQUE PROCESS FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF TUNGSTEN CARBIDE-COBALT POWDERS. IT WILL OFFER A WAY TO PRODUCE HIGH STRENGTH AND HARDNESS SIMULTANEOUSLY. THE PROCESS IS LOWER COST. THE NEW PROCESS SHOULD OFFER SOME RELIEF FOR A CRITICAL ELEMENT, COBALT BECAUSE OF THE HIGHER USE EFFICIENCY OF THE NEW PRODUCTS.

TRA PROPOSES THE DEVELOPMENT OF A NOVEL, NON-CAKING ULTRASONIC FILTER. THE DEVICE USES STANDARD FILTER MEMBRANES PLACED IN AN ACOUSTIC FIELD THAT TRAPS AND TRANSPORTS PARTICLES AWAY FROM THE FILTER SURFACE. BOTH SOLID AND FLUID PARTICLES SUSPENDED IN A FLUID MEDIUM MAY BE ACTED UPON BY THE MOVING PRESSURE SURFACES. PARTICLES SIZED BETWEEN 0.5 AND 0.1 MICROMETRES HAVE BEEN TRANSPORTED BY THIS TECHN ...

TWO ATTRIBUTES OF THE CURRENT SUPERCOMPUTER MILIEU REVEAL AN IMPORTANT NATIONAL NEED ADDRESSED IN THIS PROPOSAL: A) THE KNOWN DISTRIBUTION OF SUPERCOMPUTER RESOURCES IN THE AMERICA AT OTHER THAN UNIVERSITY CENTERS OF EXCELLENCE, AND, B) THE RESULTS OF RECENT STATISTICAL ANALYSES, DISCLOSED IN THIS PROPOSAL, THAT IDENTIFY IMPORTANT (TYPICAL) PATTERNS OF SUPERCOMPUTER USAGE BY RESEARCHERS. IT IS THE ...

EXAMINATION OF THE FEASIBILITY OF DEVELOPING A RELATIVELY SIMPLE PREDICTABILITY MODEL FOR A VARIETY OF DISPERSION PROBLEMS IN AIR OR WATER IS PROPOSED. WE BELIEVE THAT VALIDREPRESENTATIONS OF THE CONCENTRATION DISTRIBUTION IN BOTH PHYSICAL SPACE AND ENSEMBLE SPACE MAY BE ACHIEVED WITH SUFFICIENTLY FEW PARAMETERS TO PERMIT AN ATTRACTIVE ENGINEERING MODEL. PREDICTION OF THE PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTION ...
