    CDAW 7 revisited - Further evidence for the creation of a near-earth substorm neutral line (1990)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-19
    Description: Eastman et al. (1988) have interpreted the CDAW 7 substorm of April 24, 1979, previously taken as unambiguously supporting the near-earth neutral line model of magnetospheric substorms, in terms of spatial movements of a preexisting plasma-sheet boundary layer (PSBL) and its associated current sheets across the observing ISEE 1 and 2 spacercraft. It is presently noted that, by contrast, a reinvestigation of ISEE 1 and 2 energetic particle measurements around substorm onset on short time-scales shows the observed flux pattern to require the formation of a particle source eastward of the ISEE spacecraft, well within the plasma sheet, associated with the substorm onset. Strong flows were absent prior to substorm onset, indicating the temporal nature of the event, as opposed to an encounter with a preexisting PSBL containing large flows.

    Knowledge assisted diagnosis of mood disorders using DSM-3 (1990)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2013-08-29
    Description: As part of an Expert Systems class at the University of Houston Clear Lake, a system has been developed using CLIPS to allow a clinical psychologist or psychiatrist to diagnose mood disturbances by providing answers to questions corresponding to branches of a DSM-III criteria tree. Experienced clinicians may assert indications of the client's behavior in order to circumvent multiple levels of the tree, thus speeding diagnosis. An explanation facility was developed for validation of the diagnosis . It also allows for 'what if' scenarios by allowing the clinician to move backwards from the diagnosis to any decision branch and alter the answer previously provided. The system was implemented with a limited vocabulary of symptoms associated primarily with depressive disorders. However, the design supports the addition of vocabulary modules and knowledge bases for other types of disorders. The system currently has applicability in an instructional setting. With the addition of a more complete vocabulary, it could have applicability in a clinical setting. The overall design will support any application where determinations are made via a decision tree.

    A study of mass data storage technology for rocket engine data (1990)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: The results of a nine month study program on mass data storage technology for rocket engine (especially the Space Shuttle Main Engine) health monitoring and control are summarized. The program had the objective of recommending a candidate mass data storage technology development for rocket engine health monitoring and control and of formulating a project plan and specification for that technology development. The work was divided into three major technical tasks: (1) development of requirements; (2) survey of mass data storage technologies; and (3) definition of a project plan and specification for technology development. The first of these tasks reviewed current data storage technology and developed a prioritized set of requirements for the health monitoring and control applications. The second task included a survey of state-of-the-art and newly developing technologies and a matrix-based ranking of the technologies. It culminated in a recommendation of optical disk technology as the best candidate for technology development. The final task defined a proof-of-concept demonstration, including tasks required to develop, test, analyze, and demonstrate the technology advancement, plus an estimate of the level of effort required. The recommended demonstration emphasizes development of an optical disk system which incorporates an order-of-magnitude increase in writing speed above the current state of the art.

    Is there a classical Hyades lithium problem? (1990)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-12
    Description: The distribution of surface lithium abundances in the Hyades cluster, as a function of effective temperature, has resisted a satisfactory theoretical explanation for more than two decades. Trends in the historically recomputed values of stellar opacity have stimulated a systematic investigation of the effects of larger opacities on lithium depletion during the premain-sequence evolution of low-mass stars. It is shown that the calculated depletion depends quite strongly on the opacities employed, and that both surface and interior opacities play an important role. By performing standard evolutionary calculations with parameterized increments in the opacities, the observed Hyades Li and T(eff) relation for G and K dwarfs have been determined in a manner consistent with the other observational constraints. The solution presented herein requires an increase in interior opacities at about 4 million K over older values by approximately less than 37 percent. Such a change is not incompatible with the historical trends in opacity computations and suggests that the resolution of this problem lies solely in the opacities, without recourse to other physical mechanisms such as turbulent diffusion or 'extra mixing'.

    Time-dependent shock acceleration of energetic electrons including synchrotron losses (1990)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-12
    Description: The present investigation of the time-dependent particle acceleration problem in strong shocks, including synchrotron radiation losses, solves the transport equation analytically by means of Laplace transforms. The particle distribution thus obtained is then transformed numerically into real space for the cases of continuous and impulsive injections of particles at the shock. While in the continuous case the steady-state spectrum undergoes evolution, impulsive injection is noted to yield such unpredicted features as a pile-up of high-energy particles or a steep power-law with time-dependent spectral index. The time-dependent calculations reveal varying spectral shapes and more complex features for the higher energies which may be useful in the interpretation of outburst spectra.

    A search for evidence of past and ongoing mass loss in the hot DO degenerates PG 1159 - 035, PG 1034 + 001, and KPD 0005 + 5106 (1990)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-12
    Description: The results are reported of a search for evidence of mass loss from three very hot, helium-rich degenerate stars, PG 1034 + 001, PG 1159 - 035, and KPD 0005 + 5106, based upon a search for weak, velocity-displaced line features in high-resolution IUE spectra. The search was entirely negative for PG 1159 - 035 and resulted in the detection of Si IV in PG 1034 + 001 at the same redshifted velocity as the other detected far-ultraviolet resonance doublets. The presence of photospheric silicon in a DO star at 80,000 K is not predicted by current radiative acceleration theory. For KPD 0005 + 5106 there is no convincing far-ultraviolet spectroscopic detection of either past or ongoing mass loss. The high-ionization resonance doublets of C IV, Si IV, and N v share the same velocity broadening as the interstellar lines but are velocity displaced by + 10 km/s relative to the local interstellar medium. Their origin is ascribed to an expanding, photoionized H II region around KPD 0005 + 5106.

    Diffusive shock acceleration of energetic electrons and the method of generations (1990)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-12
    Description: The diffusive shock acceleration of energetic electrons at a plane shock is studied by means of the method of generations developed by Petukhov et al. (1986), where the particles are binned according to the number of particle acceleration cycles. The method emphasizes the cyclic character of the shock acceleration process, and takes into account the particle energy increment per cycle, the energy loss per cycle, and the escape probability of particles downstream of the shock. In the limit of a small fractional momentum gain per cycle, the method reproduces the known steady-state semianalytic solution for constant diffusion coefficients on both sides of the shock. It is demonstrated that the method may also be applied to time-dependent shock-acceleration problems.

    The hot DOA1 degenerate HZ 21 - A search for circumstellar/photospheric metals and peculiar absorption at He II (1990)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-12
    Description: A high-resolution IUE spectrum of the hot DO1 degenerate HZ 21 was obtained by combining US1 + European 2 low-background observing shifts. The SWP image reveals a rich spectrum of interstellar absorption lines with an average velocity in the line of sight to HZ 21 of -30 km/s. However, there is no clear evidence of any highly or lowly ionized metal features which could be attributed to circumstellar, wind, or photospheric absorption. There is, however, a broad absorption trough at He II (1640) which was not unexpected, given the clear presence of He II (4686) absorption in this star's optical spectrum. The velocity width of He II (1640) appears consistent with photospheric absorption wings which appear to flank the geocoronal Ly-alpha emission feature. The He II (1640) feature reveals what appears to be a broad (310 km/s) emission reversal. Evidence is provided that the emission reversal is probably real.
