It is shown that angular distributions of high-energy proton groups from ($n, p$) reactions should evidence sharp maxima near the forward direction, which arise neutrons with large impact parameters interacting protons out in "tails" initial nucleus. The positions these peaks are characterized by allowed values orbital momenta ${l}_{n}$ neutron can be captured to form final state. A study such therefore may well lead information concerning spins and parities nuclear energy levels, as case...

A description of the experimental results obtained for Mg 25 and Al is given based upon assumption that excited nuclear states are rotational states. In members four bands can be identified. The band on ground state assigned K = 5/2 whilst three excited-state bands, two positive parity one negative parity, 1/2. dipole γ-ray transitions between 1/2 forbidden model it a salient feature cascading in ground-state always amongst weakest from to bands. Besides giving quantitative account decay...

The high temperature behavior of carbon-phenolic and carbon-carbon composites was investigated. Models were developed which describe the thermal me chanical responses such when rapidly heated to temperatures. On basis models, a computer code written that provides pressure distributions, vapor volatile formation rates, amount char, stress strain, damage in plates.

Non-traditional design criteria such as flexibility, robustness, survivability and others (collectively referred to the “ilities”) are increasingly recognized critical system properties for success of aerospace programs. While most decision makers would agree that ilities important properties, they neither well-defined nor easily evaluated in isolation. some evaluation methodologies do exist (e.g., real options flexibility), there is a need holistic framework describing systems with these...

Abstract A framework to aid in the understanding of uncertainties and techniques for mitigating even taking positive advantage them is presented. The an attempt clarify wide range that affect complex systems, risks (and opportunities) they create, strategies system architects can use mitigate (or take advantage) them, resulting attributes.

The effects of distorted waves on the high-energy inelastic scattering protons by $^{12}\mathrm{C}$ were investigated using distorted-wave-impulse approximation. It was found that except for electric monopole transitions, use results in a reduction peak differential cross section factor 2 or 3, with little effect location shape curve. also presence spin-orbit coupling distorting potential has non-negligible proton polarization at some angles. ${2}^{+}$ level 4.43 MeV treated detail...
