    Description: Radiation variability on a global and zonal scale is studied using outgoing longwave radiation data from the Nimbus 6 satellite for a period of 12 months. The analysis-of-variance technique, which permits the variance to be separated into spatial variance and time variance, is applied to latitudinal zones and to the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. For latitudinal zones, most of the variability of longwave radiation is in the tropics and subtropics and is due to spatial variance between regions within zones. Spatial variance in the Southern Hemisphere is much greater than in the Northern Hemisphere; daytime spatial variance is higher than nighttime spatial variance for both hemispheres.

    Notes: Efforts to remove traces of monomers contained in polymers by stripping with steam have resulted in reports that a small concentration of monomer is inextractable, or “locked-in,” the polymer. Any concomitant depolymerization to monomer and diffusive elution of the formed monomer would, in the steady state, result in a constant concentration of monomer within the confines of the polymer. If only the polymer phase were sampled and depolymerization were ignored, this result could be interpreted as an apparent “zero migration” level of monomer. A model that describes the coupled processes of depolymerization and diffusion is presented; predictions and estimates of an apparent “zero-migration” concentration are offered for various polymer/monomer systems considering a variety of kinetic schemes. The effects of temperature, geometry, and sample size on the transient and apparent steady-state, residual-weight fraction of monomer in the polymer are considered. Also, the weight fraction of monomer, neglecting diffusive elution, is estimated for comparison with the steady-state weight fractions calculated for the case in which diffusive elution significantly lowers the residual steady-state monomer level. The results predicted by the model presented are compared with experimental data reported in the literature. Transient approaches to the steady state are included in the model analysis. The steady-state monomer concentrations predicted for polystyrene and poly(acrylonitrile) at 100°C vary from 0.0001 ppm to 100 ppm as the diameter of the respective polymeric spheres varies between 0.5 μ and 500 μ. The predicted steady-state concentrations for vinyl chloride monomer in poly(vinyl chloride) are, under comparable conditions, seven orders of magnitude lower, reflecting the extraordinarily small tendency of polyvinyl chloride to degrade to monomer.

    Description: The diffusion properties of xenon implanted into feldspar, a major mineral in meteorites and lunar samples, are investigated in light of the importance of xenon diffusion in the interpretation of early solar system chronologies and the retention time of solar-wind-implanted Xe. Known doses of Xe ions were implanted at an energy of 200 keV into single-crystal plagioclase targets, and depth profiles were measured by alpha particle backscattering before and after annealing for one hour at 900 or 1000 C. The fraction of Xe retained following annealing is found to be strongly dependent on implantation dose, being greatest at a dose of 3 x 10 to the 15th ions/sq cm and decreasing at higher and lower doses. Xe retention is also observed to be unaffected by two-step anneals, or by implantation with He or Ar. Three models of the dose-dependent diffusion properties are considered, including epitaxial crystal regrowth during annealing controlled by the extent of radiation damage, the creation of trapping sites by radiation damage, and the inhibition of recrystallization by Xe during annealing

    Description: Two Nike Tomahawk rocket payloads were launched into energetic auroral events in September, 1976 to investigate the structure of these events, as well as their effects on the atmosphere. X-ray scintillation detectors with energy discrimination in four ranges were used to measure the deposition of bremsstrahlung produced X-rays within the stratosphere and mesosphere. Iterative computer techniques were used to reconstruct X-ray source maps at 100 km, taking atmospheric absorption effects into account. Payload 18.178 was launched on September 21st into an aurora having two distinct azimuthal regions of optical brightness. The X-ray scanner detected the same features, and overlays of the X-ray source maps on all-sky photographs showed spatial coincidence of the X-ray with optical features at the lower energies (below 40 keV). Payload 18.179 was launched September 23rd into an aurora with a more diffuse character. The optical structure did not coincide as well with the measured X-ray structure. There was also an indication of a two-component spectrum for each event, with the hard component originating in the more diffuse, optically faint regions.

    Notes: To be efficacious as an x-ray resist, a material must efficiently undergo a desirable chemical change upon being irradiated with x-rays. The probability of such a change taking place is given by the product of the fractional x-ray absorption and the “inherent sensitivity,” which we define as the yield per unit energy absorbed. Increasing the absorption of the polymer, as, for example, by chlorinating an olefin sulfone thereby increasing the absorption at wavelengths just below the chlorine absorption edge will result in improved usefulness if, and only if, this increased energy absorbed can be used by the polymer to enhance the desired chemical reaction. The “usefulness” of chlorinating is thus dependent on the efficiency of intramolecular energy transfer. We have studied the efficiency of this transfer by monitoring the loss of SO2 from the main-chain backbone as a function of absorbed x-ray energy, using x-ray wavelengths both abov and below the chlorine absorption edge. The polymers studied were 1-olefin sulfones, with and without the chlorine atom in the ω-position. Through the use of this series of polymers it was hoped to observe an effect due to the changing separation of the chlorine atom from the backbone. The experiments indicate that (a) the inherent sensitivity is independent of irradiating wavelength, for both the chlorine-containing and the non-chlorine-containing polymers; (b) the hexene polymers are considerably more sensitive than the lower members of the series (which exhibit a sensitivity which is approximately independent of the side chain length); and (c) the chlorine-containing polymers are less sensitive than the non-chlorine-containing species. At this time the explanation for these observations is speculative.

    Description: Measurements of the X-ray bremsstrahlung precipitation were made during the Araks experiments. The following conclusions were deduced from the data: with several exceptions the ambient X-ray flux observed was the normal quiet background expected for the location and existing conditions. The X-ray flux at energies below 20 keV was in excess of that predicted by theory. No obvious effects of the Araks experiments were seen in the data. However, a superposed epoch analysis of the X-ray data revealed a very small amount of precipitation associated with the electron gun.

    Description: Such complexities of the Wustite structure as nonstoichiometry, ferric iron variable site distribution, long and short range ordering, and exsolution, yield complex physical properties. Magnesiowustite, a phase which has been suggested to occur in the earth's lower mantle, is also expected to exhibit many of these complexities. Geophysical models including the properties of (Mg, Fe)O should accordingly take into account the uncertainties associated with the synthesis and measurement of iron-rich oxides. Given the variability of the Fe(1-x)O structure, it is important that future researchers define the structural state and extent of exsolution of their samples.

    Notes: A sudden reduction in the feed temperature to a packed-bed reactor leads to a transient temperature rise, which is referred to as the wrong-way behavior. A pseudo-homogeneous plug-flow model is used to analyze the structure of this transient behavior. The key parameters which determine the magnitude of this response are the dimensionless adiabatic temperature rise, activation energy, heat transfer capacity, coolant temperature, magnitude of temperature drop and length of the reactor. A simple expression is derived for predicing the maximum transient temperature rise.
