    Description: Two new genera of Upper Silurian stromatoporoids in order Actinostromatida are described. Genus Bicolumnostratum Stock, with type species B. micum (Bogoyavlenskaya), is characterized by two kinds of pillars and nonaligned colliculi, and is assigned to family Actinostromatidae. Genus Acosmostroma Stock, with type species A. ataxium Stock new species, contains irregular micropillars and microcolliculi, and is assigned to family Densastromatidae. Two additional new species are Acosmostroma glascoense Stock and A.? cobleskillense Stock. A fourth species is A. tenuissimum (Parks). Bicolumnostratum is known from Ludlow- and Pridoli-age strata, whereas the occurrences of Acosmostroma are strictly Pridoli in age.

    Notes: The wide matrix rocking curves of the in situ eutectic composite TaSi2-Si make it attractive as a wide-bandpass monochromator for synchrotron radiation. Wafers with Si[111], Si[110], or Si[100] orientation were studied to determine the origin of the wide rocking curves. The high degree of preferred orientation of the TaSi2 rods relative to the Si matrix was examined using synchrotron Laue patterns and the TaSi2 [100], TaSi2 [003], and TaSi2 [102] reflections. Double and triple axis diffractometry were used to show that the large widths were due to strain and mosaic and not long-range bending; copper radiation (for some double axis results) and 120 and 160 keV synchrotron radiation were used. At 8 keV, rocking curve widths were about twenty times broader than those from perfect Si, and peak reflectivities approached 20%. Rocking curves from Si[333] and Si[444] (120 and 160 keV, respectively) had identical profiles and reflectivities of about 25%. The triple axis results show compressive strains in the Si matrix along Si[111] (i.e., parallel to the rods) and dilational strains orthogonal to the rods. These results confirm the promise of TaSi2-Si as a wide-bandpass optical element for synchrotron radiation. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A target of gaseous polarized hydrogen was formed by injecting polarized hydrogen atoms (produced by Stern–Gerlach spin separation) into a storage cell consisting of a cylindrical tube open at both ends. The target was placed in a storage ring to study the target characteristics (nuclear polarization, target thickness, radiation resistance). A weak transverse guide field (5 G) was applied to define the polarization direction. When atoms in a single hyperfine state were selected, the nuclear polarization of the target was measured to be 0.80±0.02. The areal density of the target under these conditions was (5.5±0.2)×1013 H/cm2, while for two spin states (applicable to experiments in high energy rings where a strong magnetic field can be applied to the target) the target thickness was found to be (8.2±0.3)×1013 H/cm2. The target polarization was unaffected by prolonged exposure of the target to beams up to 1 mA. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A W/Si multilayer was used to determine the degree of circular polarization of the soft x-ray radiation of the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility helical undulator HELIOS I. The multilayer, manufactured by vapor deposition serves as a wideband tunable polarization analyzer in the photon energy range from 520 to 930 eV. The characterization of the multilayer's analyzing power, varying from 0.82 to 0.25 for these energies, indicates that it operates close to its calculated specifications. The lack of phase-shifters applicable in this energy range was overcome by a detailed analysis of the unpolarized background identified as radiation from the magnetic lattice. In this way, the degree of circular polarization of HELIOS I was determined to exceed 0.85 for hν〉685 eV. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: In understanding the macroscopic response of polycrystalline structural materials to loading, it is frequently essential to know both the three-dimensional distribution of strain and of microtexture. The methods must be nondestructive, however, if the evolution of quantities, such as strain at a fatigue crack tip, are to be studied. This paper describes approaches for high resolution synchrotron x-ray diffraction tomography of polycrystalline materials. Preliminary experiments are reported on partially cracked compact tension samples of Al-Li 2090 and on model samples of randomly packed, millimeter-sized single crystals. Polychromatic beams collimated to diameters as small as 30 μm have been used, and collecting the spatial distribution of diffracted intensity on image storage plates as a function of sample-to-detector separation allowed inference of the depth of the volume elements contributing to diffraction. The precision to which one can determine the depths of volume elements will be discussed as well approaches for three-dimensional, nondestructive strain mapping. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Recent efforts to clear invasive plants from the fynbos of South Africa forces managers to think about how N2-fixing invasives have altered ecosystem processes and the implications of these changes for community development. This study investigated the changes in nitrogen (N) cycling regimes in fynbos with the invasion of Acacia saligna, the effects of clear-cutting acacia stands on soil microclimate and N cycling, and how altered N resources affected the growth of a weedy grass species. Litterfall, litter quality, soil nutrient pools, and ion exchange resin (IER)-available soil N were measured in uninvaded fynbos, intact acacia, and cleared acacia stands. In addition, a bioassay experiment was used to ascertain whether the changes in soil nutrient availability associated with acacia would enhance the success of a weedy grass species. Acacia plots had greater amounts of litterfall, which had higher concentrations of N. This led to larger quantities of organic matter, total N, and IER-available N in the soil. Clearing acacia stands caused changes in soil moisture and temperature, but did not result in differences in IER-available N. The alteration of N availability by acacias was shown to increase growth rates of the weedy grass Ehrharta calycina, suggesting that secondary invasions by nitrophilous weedy species may occur after clearing N2-fixing alien species in the fynbos. It is suggested that managers use controlled burns, the addition of mulch, and the addition of fynbos seed after clearing to lower the levels of available N in the soil and initiate the return of native vegetation.

    Notes: The wide rocking curves of matrix reflections of the in situ eutectic composite TaSi2–Si make wafers of this material attractive for use as wide-bandpass monochromators for synchrotron radiation, and characterization of wafers of TaSi2–Si for use with energies normally accessible at storage rings (i.e., 5–40 keV) is the focus of the present report. A wafer with [111]Si orientation and a wafer with [110]Si orientation are studied. The high degree of preferred orientation of the TaSi2 rods relative to the Si matrix is examined using synchrotron Laue patterns, and the 100TaSi2, 003TaSi2, 101TaSi2, and 102TaSi2 reflections are used to establish the orientation relationship and to determine that the spread of rod orientations is at least 5° and probably no greater than 6°. Double-axis diffractometry with Cu Kα radiation reveals matrix reflections with rocking curve widths that are about 20 times broader than those from perfect Si and with peak reflectivities approaching 20%. The rocking curves widths are found to be relatively insensitive to irradiated area, thus indicating that most of the observed width is not due to long-range bending. Triple-axis diffractometry with Cu Kα radiation reveals that considerable compressive strain exists in the matrix and that much of the width of the diffraction peak is due to mosaicity. The performance of the [111]Si TaSi2–Si wafer and a perfect [111] Si wafer as monochromators for microradiography are compared, and a gain of an order of magnitude in x-ray intensity delivered to the sample is demonstrated with the composite crystal. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The high cost of providing formal training to displaced workers, combined with the lack of consistent evidence to support training program effectiveness, has prompted researchers and policy makers to suggest that formal training be offered only to select groups of displaced workers. This paper reviews theoretical and empirical outcomes suggesting that displaced workers who are likely to switch industries as a result of displacement are one group toward which formal training could be targeted. Given this motivation, the paper goes on to examine the empirical framework for such targeting. Estimates presented indicate that workers displaced from industries that employ only a small fraction of their local labor force are more likely to switch industries after displacement. In addition, the relative importance of workers' pre-displacement industries in their local labor markets is a stronger predictor of industry switching than other commonly used measures of local labor market conditions.

    Notes: We report results of our growth and characterization of GaN films using low-pressure chemical vapor epitaxy with a new nitrogen source, hydrazoic acid (HN3). This growth technique allows for low-temperature deposition, low III/V ratios, and increased deposition rates (up to ∼2–3 μm/h). The deposited films show Ga:N atomic ratios of 1±0.25 based on our x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses, and the He(II) UPS (ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy) spectra compare favorably with the semi-ab initio calculations for the GaN valence bands and with the reported UPS data for single crystal GaN films. X-ray and Raman spectra show deposited films crystallized in the expected wurtzite structure. We find these epitaxial films to be efficient light emitters in the blue or yellow region of the spectrum, depending upon growth conditions. Our photoluminescence time-decay kinetics confirm the excitonic nature of the blue emission. Lastly, far infrared time-domain spectroscopy shows the low carrier concentration of this material. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: New experimental and theoretical data on the resonance Raman (RR) spectroscopy of the S1 and S2 states of pyrazine are presented. Based on recent ab initio CASSCF (complete- active-space-self-consistent-field) and MRCI (multireference configuration interaction) calculations of Woywod et al. [J. Chem. Phys. 100, 1400 (1994)], we construct a vibronic coupling model of the conically intersecting S1 and S2 states of pyrazine, which includes the seven most relevant vibrational degrees of freedom of the molecule. Employing a time-dependent approach that treats the intramolecular couplings in a nonperturbative manner, we calculate RR cross sections for this model, taking explicitly into account the nonseparability of all vibrational modes. The combination of high-level ab initio calculations and multimode propagation techniques makes it possible, for the first time, to make first-principles predictions of RR spectra for vibronically coupled electronic states of an aromatic molecule. The theoretical data are compared to experimental gas-phase RR spectra which have been obtained for five different excitation wavelengths. The comparison reveals that the ab initio predictions match the experimental results in almost every detail. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.
