    Description: A computer code (SCCPOEM) was assembled to describe the charging of dielectrics due to irradiation by electrons. The primary purpose for developing the code was to make available a convenient tool for studying the internal fields and charge densities in electron-irradiated dielectrics. The code, which is based on the primary electron transport code POEM, is applicable to arbitrary dielectrics, source spectra, and current time histories. The code calculations are illustrated by a series of semianalytical solutions. Calculations to date suggest that the front face electric field is insufficient to cause breakdown, but that bulk breakdown fields can easily be exceeded.

    Description: Intracellular calcium is increased in vulnerable spinal motoneurons in immune-mediated as well as transgenic models of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). To determine whether intracellular calcium levels are influenced by the calcium-binding protein parvalbumin, we developed transgenic mice overexpressing parvalbumin in spinal motoneurons. ALS immunoglobulins increased intracellular calcium and spontaneous transmitter release at motoneuron terminals in control animals, but not in parvalbumin overexpressing transgenic mice. Parvalbumin transgenic mice interbred with mutant SOD1 (mSOD1) transgenic mice, an animal model of familial ALS, had significantly reduced motoneuron loss, and had delayed disease onset (17%) and prolonged survival (11%) when compared with mice with only the mSOD1 transgene. These results affirm the importance of the calcium binding protein parvalbumin in altering calcium homeostasis in motoneurons. The increased motoneuron parvalbumin can significantly attenuate the immune-mediated increases in calcium and to a lesser extent compensate for the mSOD1-mediated 'toxic-gain-of-function' in transgenic mice.

    Description: The initial phase of a broader, more complete program for the characterization of electrical breakdowns on spacecraft insulating materials is described which consisted of the development of a discharge simulator and characterization facility and the performance of a limited number of discharge measurements to verify the operation of the laboratory setup and to provide preliminary discharge transient field data. A preliminary model of the electromagnetic characteristics of the discharge was developed. It is based upon the "blow off" current model of discharges, with the underlying assumption of a propagating discharge. The laboratory test facility and discharge characterization instrumentation are discussed and the general results of the "quick look" tests are described on quartz solar reflectors aluminized Kapton and silver coated Teflon are described.

    Description: Theoretical calculations of an electron transport model of the charging of dielectrics due to electron bombardment are compared to measurements of internal charge distributions. The emphasis is on the distribution of Teflon. The position of the charge centroid as a function of time is not monotonic. It first moves deeper into the material and then moves back near to the surface. In most time regimes of interest, the charge distribution is not unimodal, but instead has two peaks. The location of the centroid near saturation is a function of the incident current density. While the qualitative comparison of theory and experiment are reasonable, quantitative comparison shows discrepancies of as much as a factor of two.

    Description: A steady state model that describes the internal charge distribution of a planar dielectric sample exposed to a uniform electron beam was developed. The model includes the effects of charge deposition and ionization of the beam, separate trap-modulated mobilities for electrons and holes, electron-hole recombination, and pair production by drifting thermal electrons. If the incident beam current is greater than a certain critical value (which depends on sample thickness as well as other sample properties), the steady state solution is non-physical.

    Description: A surface density contour map of the Cancer Cluster derived from galaxy counts in the Zwicky catalog is presented. The contour map shows that the galaxy distribution is clumpy. When this spatial distribution is combined with nearly complete velocity information, the clumps stand out more clearly; there are significant differences in the mean velocities of the clumps which exceed their internal velocity dispersions. The Cancer Cluster is not a proper 'cluster' but is a collection of discrete groups, each with a velocity dispersion of approximately 300 km/s, separating from one another with the cosmological flow. The mass-to-light ratio for galaxies in the main concentration is approximately 320 solar masses/solar luminosities (H sub 0 = 100 km/s Mpc).

    Description: Solutions to the equations of thermal breakdown are computed for cylindrial electrodes with different boundary conditions. The development of the electric field and the temperature distributions are followed as functions of time, consequent on the application of a constant interelectrode voltage. The implications for possible breakdown by modes other than thermal are briefly discussed.

    Description: Abell 115 is a galaxy cluster with two large enhancements in X-ray surface brightness. A map of the galaxy distribution over an extended region reveals the presence of three primary clumps of galaxies. Two of these correspond to the peaks in the X-ray surface brightness. A third clump, 7 arcmin to the east of the pair, has no X-ray emission detected by the Einstein Observatory. Redshifts are measured for 29 galaxies in the region; 10 are certainly members of foreground groups. A115, at z approximately 0.2, is the highest redshift cluster for which any extensive attempt has been made to study the system dynamics.

    Description: A computational model is developed which describes the evolution and propagation of an ionizing front (negative streamer) in solid materials. The ionization front consists of drifting avalanching electrons moving self-consistently under the influence of their own space-charge field together with an applied external field. The required input information for the model consists of the functional dependence of the macroscopic transport coefficients on the local electric field, the initial conditions for beginning the calculation, and the strength of the applied field. A computational approach for specifying the transport coefficients and initional conditions is also described. The approach has been implemented by constructing three computer codes which sequentially interface, beginning with single electron scattering, and ending with streamer development. Computational results are presented for model calculations in Teflon. The overall model is perceived to provide a picture of the initiation phase of a propagating discharge in electron-irradiated dielectrics.

    Description: The nature and evolution of rich galaxy clusters containing multiple condensations is studied. Velocities for 13 members of A98 are presented and the determination of dynamical properties of the individual subclusters is substantially improved. The application of techniques for quantifying gravitational scale lengths are stressed without invocation of the symmetry arguments demanded by the usual parameter fitting procedures. The entire A98 cluster is modeled as a two-body system. The probability that A98 is bound is found to be 98 percent. From this model and the results of previous N-body simulations, it is shown that the most likely description of the system is that it reached maximum expansion about 3.5 billion years ago and is presently in a state of collapse. The subclusters will merge in another three billion years.
