Results from the ORPHEUS dark matter detector

The ORPHEUS dark matter detector consists of 450 g superconducting tin granules with diameters of 28 and 36 μm. The detector has been operating in the shallow site of the underground laboratory in Bern (70 m.w.e). First preliminary results on WIMP detection sensitivity will be presented.     

Processor membership in asynchronous distributed systems

Presents protocols for determining processor membership in asynchronous distributed systems that are subject to processor and communication faults. These protocols depend on the placement of a total order on broadcast messages. The types of systems for which each of these protocols is applicable are characterized by the properties of the communication mechanisms and by the availability of stable storage. In the absence of stable storage or of a mechanism for distinguishing promptly delivered messages, the authors show that no membership protocol can exist. They also discuss their experience in implementing these membership protocols

Comparison of Displacement and Mixing Diffusers

In order to cumpare the peformance of different supply diffuers of ventilation air, the airflow passern, temperature stratifiation and contaminant dispersion in a furnitured office ventilated by three kinds of air diffuer were numerically investigated. The air diffuers studied in this paper are a quarter-cylinder displacement diffuer on the floor and mixing diffuers (linear and vortex diffuers) on the ceiling. The heat sources in the of-fice are considered to be 50% convective and 50% radiative. The k-? two-equatwn model of turbulence is employed to predict the turbulent diffusion. The results show that the displacement diffuser provides a rather uniform flow field with low velocify in most areas, and the vertical temperature difference from floor to ceiling is as high as 6 K. With the linear diffuser, the air velociry is high, and the temperature is uniform both horizontally and vertically. The air velocity generated by the vortex diffuser is moderate. The distributions of the temperature and the contaminant are rather uniform.     

Elastic constants of face-centered cubic and L1<Subscript>2</Subscript> Ni-Si alloys: Composition and temperature dependence

The adiabatic elastic stiffness constants C _ij of Ni-Si single-crystal solid-solution alloys of two slightly different compositions, 10.78 and 11.17 at. pct Si, were measured over the temperature range from 20 °C to 900 °C using the rectangular parallelepiped resonance method. The isotropic elastic constants of the polycrystalline ordered intermetallic compound Ni₃Si containing 23 at. pct Si were also measured over this temperature range. Values of the C _ij for Ni₃Si were estimated from the data on the polycrystalline alloy, as well as from published data in the literature on isomorphous ternary ordered intermetallic compounds containing different amounts of Si. Using measured values and previously published data, the stiffness constants of Ni₃Ti were estimated; these are the only available data on this alloy. The estimated single-crystal elastic constants of Ni₃Si, as well as the experimentally measured bulk modulus, are considerably smaller than published values calculated from first-principles methods. The same is true for the C _ij of Ni₃Ti, but the discrepancies are smaller.     

The growing public health concern of sports concussion: The new psychology practice frontier.

With youth participation in sports at an all-time high, youths have become more vulnerable to the silent epidemic of concussion. Psychologists should become aware of the alarming frequency of mild concussion and the subtle effects of concussion, which often go unnoticed or result in misdiagnosis. This article provides a basic survey of the research and literature on this topic, a simplified knowledge base for understanding updated assessment and management techniques, and a discussion of the important role psychologists can play in educating the public and their patients. Practitioners can become more aware of this developing practice opportunity. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)
