Effect of gamma energy, temperature and shelf life on the response of gamma and BD-100R neutron bubble detectors

The use of commercially available bubble detectors for gamma and neutron detection has been reported by several groups. We have carried out systematic investigations to study the response of gamma bubble detector as a function of energy, the effect of waiting time on sensitivity of BD-100R neutron bubble detector and the effect of shelf life on both types of bubble detectors. Our results show that the response of the gamma bubble detector is energy dependent. Waiting time of up to 260 hours for BD-100R neutron detector has no significant effect. Both the detectors have a limited shelf life. These factors must be taken into account while using these detectors.     

Synthesis and characterization of poly(epoxy‐imide) crosslinked networks

Poly(epoxy imide)s were prepared by a reaction between a hydroxyl‐group‐containing soluble copolyimide and commercial epoxy resins at 220 °C for 2 h. Poly(epoxy imide) thin films exhibited higher thermal stability and lower dielectric constants than a commercial flip‐chip package material (U300). The thermal stabilities of the poly(epoxy imide)s were 1.4–2.0 times higher than that of U300. The thermal stability increased with increasing crosslink density and with decreasing bulky CF₃ groups (which were easily decomposable). The dielectric constants of the poly(epoxy imide)s were 1.1–1.3 times lower than that of U300, and this is highly desirable for the microelectronic packaging industry. The dielectric constant dramatically decreased when bulky CF₃ groups were added and when the functionalities of epoxy resins decreased. The residual stresses, slopes in the cooling curves, and glass‐transition temperatures of the poly(epoxy imide)s were measured with a thin‐film stress analyzer. Low residual stresses and slopes in the cooling curves were achieved with a higher crosslink density. However, in the presence of bulky CF₃ groups, the copolyimide backbone structure did not affect the residual stress values. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Comparison of three solvers for viscoelastic fluid flow problems

The computational efficiency of three numerical schemes has been examined for the solution of a linearized system of equations resulting from the finite element discretization of a viscoelastic fluid flow problem. The first scheme is a modified frontal solver, which solves the linear system of equations directly. The other two, one based on a biconjugate gradient stabilized (BiCGStab) method and another based on a generalized minimal residual (GMRES) method, are iterative schemes. The stick-slip problem and the four-to-one contraction problem were analyzed and the viscoelastic fluid was assumed to obey the Oldroyd-B model. The two iterative schemes are superior to the direct scheme in terms of CPU time consumed and the BiCGStab scheme is even faster than the GMRES scheme. The range of convergence for both iterative schemes is compatible with that of the direct scheme.     

A Bayesian approach for quantile and response probability estimation with applications to reliability

In this paper we propose a Bayesian approach for the estimation of a potency curve which is assumed to be nondecreasing and concave or convex. This is done by assigning the Dirichlet as a prior distribution for transformations of some unknown parameters. We motivate our choice of the prior and investigate several aspects of the problem, including the numerical implementation of the suggested scheme. An approach for estimating the quantiles is also given. By casting the problem in a more general context, we argue that distributions which are IHR or IHRA can also be estimated via the suggested procedure. A problem from a government laboratory serves as an example to illustrate the use of our procedure in a realistic scenario.

Average life of oxygen vacancies of quartz in sediments

Average life of oxygen vacancies of quartz in sediments is estimated by using the ESR(electron spin resonance) signals of E' centers from the thermal activation technique. The experi-mental results show that the second-order kinetics equation is more applicable to the life estima-tion compared with the first order equation. The average life of oxygen vacancies of quartz from4895 to 4908 deep sediments in the Tarim Basin is about 10~(18) a at 27℃.

Phase diagrams of lattice systems with residual entropy. II. Low temperature expansion

For some lattice systems with an infinite number of ground states, it is shown that the pressure and the coexistence surfaces of several phases admit asymptotic expansions aroundT=0. In particular, it follows that the coexistence surfaces are differentiable atT=0, and at low temperatures the stable states are those with maximal residual entropy. The results are applied to construct the phase diagrams for several spin-1 models.
