Observations of Glide and Decomposition of a<101> Dislocations at High Temperatures in Ni-Al Single Crystals Deformed along the Hard Orientation

Ni-44at.% Al and Ni-50at.% single crystals were tested in compression in the hard (001) orientations. The dislocation processes and deformation behavior were studied as a function of temperature, strain and strain rate. A slip transition in NiAl occurs from alpha(111) slip to non-alphaaaaaaaaaaa9111) slip at intermediate temperatures. In Ni-50at.% Al single crystal, only alpha(010) dislocations are observed above the slip transition temperature. In contrast, alpha(101)(101) glide has been observed to control deformation beyond the slip transition temperature in Ni-44at.%Al. alpha(101) dislocations are observed primarily along both (111) directions in the glide plane. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy observations show that the core of the alpha(101) dislocations along these directions is decomposed into two alpha(010) dislocations, separated by a distance of approximately 2nm. The temperature window of stability for these alpha(101) dislocations depends upon the strain rate. At a strain rate of 1.4 x 10(exp -4)/s, lpha(101) dislocations are observed between 800 and 1000K. Complete decomposition of a alpha(101) dislocations into alpha(010) dislocations occurs beyond 1000K, leading to alpha(010) climb as the deformation mode at higher temperature. At lower strain rates, decomposition of a alpha(101) dislocations has been observed to occur along the edge orientation at temperatures below 1000K. Embedded-atom method calculations and experimental results indicate that alpha(101) dislocation have a large Peieris stress at low temperature. Based on the present microstructural observations and a survey of the literature with respect to vacancy content and diffusion in NiAl, a model is proposed for alpha(101)(101) glide in Ni-44at.%Al, and for the observed yield strength versus temperature behavior of Ni-Al alloys at intermediate and high temperatures.

The dust and gas surrounding LkH-alpha 101

The linear polarization of the reflection nebula NGC 1579 and the CO (1 to 0) emission from the associated molecular gas have been mapped for several minutes of arc around the exciting star LkH-alpha 101. These maps show conclusively that LkH-alpha 101 is the sole significant source of illumination in the region. The dust in the reflection nebula appears to be uniform over the illuminated region and is uniformly illuminated by LkH-alpha 101. Despite the patchy obscuration, the dark cloud which obscures LkH-alpha 101 does not surround the star. LkH-alpha 101 may have formed out of a placental cloud whose remnants now include four molecular cloud fragments, two in front of and two behind the reflection nebula, as well as an H I cloud previously detected in the region.

Growth of (101) faces of tetragonal lysozyme crystals: measured growth-rate trends

Previous extensive measurements of the growth rates of the (110) face of tetragonal lysozyme crystals have shown unexpected dependencies on the supersaturation. In this study, similar growth-rate measurements were performed for the (101) faces of the crystals. The data show a similar dependence on the supersaturation, becoming appreciable only at high supersaturations, reaching a maximum value and then decreasing. The (101) growth rates are larger at low supersaturations than the (110) growth rates under the same conditions and are smaller at high supersaturations. These trends suggest that the growth mechanism of the (101) face is similar to that of the (110) face: both processes involve the addition of multimeric growth units formed in solution, but the average size of the units for the (101) face is likely to be smaller than for the (110) face.

The circumstellar environment of the emission-line star LkH-alpha 101

The environs of the premain-sequence, emission-line star, LkH-alpha 101, have been observed by broad-band CCD imaging, high-resolution optical spectroscopy, IRAS imaging, and single-dish, as well as interferometric, millimeter-line mapping. LkH-alpha 101 exhibits a high mass-loss rate (0.000011) low-velocity (350 km/s) ionized wind typical of early-type premain-sequence stars (Barsony, 1989). The millimeter interferometer maps show that this wind has cleared out a cavity in the molecular cloud surrounding LkH-alpha 101, allowing the rapid expansion of the previously observed VLA H II region (Becker and White, 1988).

Growth of (101) Faces of Tetragonal Lysozyme Crystals: Determination of the Growth Mechanism

Measurements of the macroscopic growth rates of the (101) face of tetragonal lysozyme crystals indicate an unusual dependence on the supersaturation (Forsythe, Nadarajah & Pusey, 1998), similar to that observed for the (110) face. As done before for the (110) face, in this study the surface packing arrangement for the (101) face was constructed, based on earlier microscopic observations and theoretical analysis of the internal molecular packing. This allowed the minimum growth unit for this face to be identified as a tetramer corresponding to a single turn of helices centered about the 4(sub 3) axes, and the minimum growth step to be of unimolecular height. A macroscopic mathematical model for the growth of the (101) face was developed, based on the formation of aggregate growth units in solution and the addition of a unit to the crystal face by dislocation and two-dimensional nucleation mechanisms. The calculations showed that the best fits were obtained for tetramer or octamer growth units in this model, indicating that average size of the growth unit participating in the growth process was between these two sizes.

Growth of (101) Faces of Tetragonal Lysozyme Crystals: Measured Growth Rate Trends

Earlier extensive measurements of the growth rates of the (110) face of tetragonal lysozyme crystals had shown unexpected dependencies on the supersaturation. In this study similar growth rate measurements were done for the (101) faces of the crystals. The data show a similar dependence on the supersaturation, becoming appreciable only at high supersaturations, reaching a maximum value and then decreasing. As reported in earlier studies, the (101) growth rates are larger at low supersaturations than the (110) growth rates at the same conditions, and smaller at high supersaturations. These trends suggest that the growth mechanism of the (101) is similar to that of the (110) face, involving the addition of lysozyme aggregates formed in solution, but with a growth unit smaller than that of the (110) face.

Sintered reaction bonded Si3N4 for the AGT 101 turbine rotor

The sintered reaction reaction bonded Si3N4 (SRBSN) process, with Y2O3 as a sintering aid, was selected for the fabrication of the AGT 101 turbine rotor. Experiments to determine the optimum Y2O3 composition of this system are discussed. The room temperature strength of the optimum material (RM-1) exceeds 700 MPa while the 1200 C strength exceeds 550 MPa. The slip casting fabrication technique employed for the AGT 101 simulated rotor is described. Rotors have been cast, nitrided and sintered. Densities exceeding 97% of theoretical (3.26 g/cc) have been obtained. Problems relating to sintering reproducibility, and the overall quality of the simulated rotors have been identified.

Spartan 101 structural analysis and design considerations

The final results for the Spartan 101 (Sp101) stress analysis are presented. The Special Payloads Division (SPD) is the payload integrator for the Spartan payloads. As a payload integrator of a Space Shuttle payload the SPD is responsible for all the structural safety requirements. The Spartan system includes the Spartan Flight Support Structure (SFSS) and the Spartan fly-away experiment. The Release/Engage Mechanism (REM), the Mission Peculiar Equipment (MPE), and the MPE Support Structure (MPESS) are the components of the SFSS. It is demonstrated how the full Spartan 101 system was integrated and verified before flying in the Space Shuttle. Needed analyses and testing are discussed. Key events in the Sp101 time line are also covered.

LkH-alpha 101 - The stellar wind, the surrounding nebula, and an associated radio star cluster

Radio observations of LkH-alpha 101 have been taken to determine the characteristics of the stellar wind from the central star as well as to image the surrounding nebulosity. They also revealed the presence of a high concentration of weak compact radio sources in the neighborhood of LkH-alpha 101, four of which have optical stellar counterparts. Spectra of three of the stars indicate two T Tauri stars and a highly obscured B star.

Performance monitor system functional simulator, environmental data, orbiter 101(HFT)

Information concerning the environment component of the space shuttle performance monitor system simulator (PMSS) and those subsystems operational on the shuttle orbiter 101 used for horizontal flight test (HFT) is provided, along with detailed data for the shuttle performance monitor system (PMS) whose software requirements evolve from three basic PMS functions: (1) fault detection and annunciation; (2) subsystem measurement management; and (3) subsystem configuration management. Information relative to the design and operation of Orbiter systems for HFT is also presented, and the functional paths are identified to the lowest level at which the crew can control the system functions. Measurement requirements are given which are necessary to adequately monitor the health status of the system. PMS process requirements, relative to the measurements which are necessary for fault detection and annunciation of a failed functional path, consist of measurement characteristics, tolerance limits, precondition tests, and correlation measurements.

Fog tests performed at Kennedy Space Center on Kodak film type 101-05

Based on the tests which were conducted, the fogging exhibited by the Kodak 101-05 glass plates when used in the Skylab S-183 experiment carrousels is a chemical fog caused by an outgassing within the carrousel. Testing has not yet been able to determine which chemical causes the fog or just what can be done to eliminate the problem.

Observation of preplanetary disks around MWC 349 and LKH-alpha 101

Infrared spectra of three highly reddened emission-line objects (MWC 349, MWC 297, and LKH-alpha 101) have been obtained from both aircraft and ground-based observatories. These spectra show bright emission lines which are consistent with recombination in an H II region. Additional optical data for MWC 349 yield a model which consists of a central O6.5 star with circumstellar disk seen face-on, a surrounding H II region, and circumstellar dust. The parameters of the disk are discussed in terms of the viscous dissipation model of Lynden-Bell and Pringle (1974). The observations are in excellent agreement with the predictions of the model and represent the first substantial case for a newly formed star with a preplanetary disk.

Aging properties of Kodak type 101 emulsions

Aging tests for several batches of Kodak type 101 emulsion show that storage conditions significantly influence how well the film will maintain its sensitometric properties, with sensitivity and density increasing to a maximum during this period. Any further aging may result in higher fog levels and sensitivity loss. It is noted that storage in an environment free of photographically active compounds allows film property optimization, and that film batches with different sensitivities age differently. Emulsions with maximum 1700-A sensitivity are 2.5 times faster than those at the low end of the sensitivity scale. These sensitive emulsions exhibit significantly accelerated changes in aging properties. Their use in space applications requires careful consideration of time and temperature profiles, encouraging the use of less sensitive emulsions when the controllability of these factors is limited.

UGC 8508 - A dwarf galaxy associated with the M 101 group

Two-color CCD photometry of UGC 8508 has resolved the system into stars. The color-magnitude diagram shows blue and red supergiants, the apparent magnitudes of the brightest stars indicate that UGC 8508 lies within 2 Mpc of the adopted 6 Mpc distance of the M 101 group. The galaxy contains a significant color gradient; star formation is confined to the central 1.5 scale lengths (0.8 kpc). UGC 8508 has a central surface brightness intermediate between bursting and quiescent dwarf irregular galaxies.

Development of the Spartan 101 navigation and pointing timeline

This paper presents the techniques and analyses that were used to construct the Spartan 101 mission pointing timeline for the Space Shuttle Orbiter-detached portion of its flight. This covers the design process that had to transform requirements and constraints originating from the experimenter, the Space Transportation System, and the payload hardware design into a workable set of pointing instructions sequenced to mission events. The paper will discuss the technical approach used for initial attitude acquisition, determining target visibility, observation scheduling, and calculation of vehicle maneuvers.
