Our general objectives are concerned with the study of atomic and molecular processes and with the transport of charged particles in weakly ionized collision-dominated plasmas. During the past year our efforts in this field have been on a rather modest scale. The research that we have conducted was concerned with the effects of pipe turbulence on the electrical conductivity and on the diffusion...

In an earlier study Gruberg and Solish showed that salamander somatosensory spino-tectal fibers took the same course and ended in the same layer of the intermediate tectal neuropil as 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT or serotonin) fibers as seen by Falck-Hillarp fluorescence. In order to determine whether the spino-tectal fibers are themselves serotonergic, we have carried out anatomical, biochemical,...

Vii. X-ray Diffuse Scattering Academic and Research Staff Joint Services Electronics Program (contract Daag29-78-c-0020)

This research program centers around a two-spectrometer x-ray diffuse-scattering system based on a Rigaku 12-kW rotating-anode x-ray generator. The apparatus is designed in such a way that one may easily tailor the instrumental resolution function to optimize studies of structure and fluctuations in a vast range of physical systems. Angular resolution of 1.8 seconds of arc and sample temperatur...

Viii. Gravitation Research Academic and Research Staff

In this region of the electromagnetic spectrum there is some important astrophysics, such as the spectral peak of the alleged 2.7" K isotropic cosmic black-body radiation, thermal radiation by interstellar and possibly intergalactic dust, as well as intense radiation from galactic centers, and doubtless other information concerning the early history of an evolving universe. An experiment carrie...
