The Department of Energy (DOE) faces many unique challenges in the automation of operations within each of Environmental Management’s focus areas. ARM Automation has developed a modular architecture that addresses many of the DOE’s automation requirements. This paper outlines technical progress of the first system being built, under Contract # DE-AC2698FT40371, using this modular approach; a ro...

more efficient electrical grids, and advance clean energy research and development (R&D). The new action plan also places a greater emphasis on energy efficiency. Accomplishments to date under the CED include: (1) completing the final phase of the Weyburn-Midale Carbon Dioxide Monitoring and Storage Project, which focuses on best practices for the safe and permanent storage of carbon dioxide (C...

Technical communication integrating all facets of GTL research is critical for spurring innovation at the most rapid pace and at the lowest cost. Such communication is important to achieving DOE missions and, ultimately, fostering U.S. competitiveness through growth in the industrial and environmental sector of the estimated trillion-dollar biotechnology industry spurred largely by DOE genomics...

In today's scientific environment scientists can no longer work in isolated laboratories. The problems being studied require experts from several fields to combine their talents. The instruments used to gather scientific data are expensive and difficult to build so there are only a few in the world. The Internet connectivity and the powerful desktop workstations available today provide the pote...

Two hundred twenty-five lactation and litter performance records from 82 does representing four genetic groups and two diets were analyzed to quantify breed, heterosis, reciprocal F1 cross and diet effects for milk production and associative traits. Doe genetic groups were New Zealand White (NN) and Californian (CC) straightbred and Californian x New Zealand White (CN) and New Zealand White x C...

∗∗ Local and global properties of the moduli space of Calabi–Yau type compactifications determine the low energy parameters of the string effective action. We show that the moduli space geometry is entirely encoded in the Picard–Fuchs equations for the periods of the Calabi– Yau H–cohomology. ∗ Supported in part by DOE grants DE-AC0381-ER500050, DOE-AT03-88ER40384, task E and by MURST.
