Greenhouse applicators’ acceptance of cotton knit gloves worn as liners under nitrile chemical-resistant gloves (CRG) for pesticide application was investigated through a wear study in Iowa and New York. Comfort was assessed by questionnaires and interviews with 10 applicators. Contamination levels of four pesticides on CRG and liners at thumb, for...

The possibility of creating a high-power X-ray source based on the recombination radiation mechanism has been studied and analyzed. The recombination X-ray radiation from neon, aluminum, and argon was obtained in experiments with plasma liners performed on the GIT-12 setup using a current pulse amplitude of ∼2.5 MA and a leading pulse front width o...

High resolution OVRO CO 1–0 observations of the inner 30″ in the LINER galaxy NGC 5218 reveal the presence of a double centrally peaked molecular concentration with extensions out to a radius of 12″. The molecular mass detected is 2.4 × 109M⊙ and the gas surface density is high, ∼3000 M⊙ pc square in the inner 500 pc. The SFR is 2–3 M⊙ yr−1 and the...

In a collaboration with the Moldavian Metallurgical Plant, VNIIMETMASh has used the results of studies of the design elements of continuous-caster molds to develop and succesfully produce a new liner for such molds — the VM-sinus. The main feature of this liner is the presence of convexity on the central sections of its walls. The convexity makes i...

The purpose of this paper is to review the literature to characterize infiltration rates from landfill liners to support groundwater modeling efforts. The focus of this investigation was on collecting studies that describe the performance of liners ‘as installed’ or ‘as operated’. This document reviews the state of the science and practice on the i...

A study of the process of implosion of a cylindrical tungsten wire array by electrical and optical methods shows that it involves two phases. In the first phase, the plasma is produced from the dense wire cores under the action of the heat flux from the current-carrying plasma. This plasma then fills the internal space of the liner array. The measu...

A method for determining the substance density distribution in the plasma produced by a current-driven implosion of multiwire tungsten liners at the Angara-5-1 facility is described. This method is based on the X-ray probing of plasma with radiation from a point source. As a source of this radiation, an X pinch is used. The time resolution (

The set of diagnostic techniques used at the Angara-5-1 facility that make it possible to study the processes which accompany the ultrafast current-driven implosion of liners is described. This set includes electric methods and methods for the detection of various radiations. The liner-plasma shapes are visualized by detecting the intrinsic liner r...

Backlighting diagnostics for studying the peripheral region of an imploding liner in the Angara-5-1 facility by using X-ray emission from an X-pinch is described. The spatial resolution of the diagnostics was no worse than 4 µm. The X-pinch emission passed through the plasma was recorded with a photofilm. The plasma density was reconstructed from t...
