Schmidt-hammer exposure-age dating (SHD) of boulders on cryoplanation terrace treads and associated bedrock cliff faces revealed Holocene ages ranging from 0 ± 825 to 8890 ± 1185 yr. The cliffs were significantly younger than the inner treads, which tended to be younger than the outer treads. Radiocarbon dates from the regolith of 3854 to 4821 cal yr BP (2σ range) indicated maximum rates of cliff recession of ~0.1 mm/yr, which suggests the onset of terrace formation before the last glacial maximum. Age, angularity, and size of clasts, together with planation across bedrock structures and the seepage of groundwater from the cliff foot, all support a process-based conceptual model of cryoplanation terrace development in which frost weathering leads to parallel cliff recession and, hence, terrace extension. The availability of groundwater during autumn freezeback is viewed as critical for frost wedging and/or the growth of segregation ice during prolonged winter frost penetration. Permafrost promotes cryoplanation by providing an impermeable frost table beneath the active layer, focusing groundwater flow, and supplying water for sediment transport by solifluction across the tread. Snow beds are considered an effect rather than a cause of cryoplanation terraces, and cryoplanation is seen as distinct from nivation.

Background: Current selection methods for neurosurgical residents lack objective measurements of psychomotor performance. This pilot study was designed to answer three questions: 1) What are the differences in bimanual psychomotor performance among neurosurgical residency applicants using the NeuroVR (formerly NeuroTouch) neurosurgical simulator? 2) Are there exceptionally skilled medical student applicants? 3) Does previous surgical exposure influence surgical performance? Methods: Medical students attending neurosurgery residency interviews at McGill University were asked to participate. Participants were instructed to remove 3 simulated brain tumors. Validated tier 1, tier 2, and advanced tier 2 metrics were utilized to assess bimanual psychomotor performance. Demographic data included weeks of neurosurgical elective and prior operative exposure. Results: Sixteen of 17 neurosurgical applicants (94%) participated. Performances clustered in definable top, middle, and bottom groups with significant differences for all metrics. Increased time spent playing music, increase applicant self-evaluated technical skills, high self-ratings of confidence and increased skin closures statistically influenced performance on univariate analysis. A trend for both self-rated increased operating room confidence and increased weeks of neurosurgical exposure to increase blood loss was seen in multivariate analysis. Conclusions: Simulation technology identifies neurosurgical residency applicants at the extremes of technical ability and extrinsic and intrinsic applicant factors appear to influence performance.

Background: Objective methods to assess the influence of significant stress on neurosurgical bimanual psychomotor performance have not been developed. We utilized NeuroTouch, a virtual reality simulator, to answer two questions: 1) What is the impact of significant stress on bimanual psychomotor performance during the resection of a simulated tumor? 2) Does stress influence performance immediately following the stressful episode? Methods: Uncontrollable ‘intraoperative’ bleeding during one of the tumor resections resulting in simulated patient cardiac arrest served as the acute stressor. Six neurosurgeons, 6 senior and 6 junior neurosurgical residents and 6 senior medical students were studied. The evaluated advanced tier 2 metrics were efficiency index, ultrasonic aspirator path length index, suction coordination index and ultrasonic aspirator bimanual forces ratio. Results: The stress scenario significantly decreased the efficiency index of all groups and significantly decreased performance for many groups for suction coordination index and ultrasonic aspirator path length index. Performance in all advanced tier 2 metrics returned to pre-stress levels in post stress resection scenarios. Conclusions: Our results are consistent with the concept that acute stress initiated by severe intraoperative bleeding significantly decreases bimanual psychomotor performance during the acute episode but had no significant influence on immediate post stress operative performance.

Background: The availability of virtual reality (VR) surgical simulators affords the opportunity to assess the influence of stress on neurosurgical operative performance in a controlled laboratory environment. This study sought to examine the effect of a stressful VR neurosurgical task on the subjective anxiety ratings of participants with varying levels of surgical expertise. Methods: Twenty four participants comprised of six staff neurosurgeons, six senior neurosurgical residents (PGY4-6), six junior neurosurgical residents (PGY1-3), and six senior medical students took part in a bimanual VR tumor removal task with a component of sudden uncontrollable intra-operative bleeding. State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) questionnaires were completed immediately pre and post the stress stimulus. The STAI questionnaire consisted of six items (calm, tense, upset, relaxed, content and worried) measured on a Likert scale. Results: Significant increases in subjective anxiety ratings were noted in junior residents (p=0.005) and medical students (p=0.025) while no significant changes were observed for staff and senior neurosurgical residents. Conclusions: Staff and senior residents more effectively mitigate stress compared to junior colleagues in a VR operative environment. Further physiological correlates are needed to determine whether this increased anxiety is paralleled by physiological arousal and altered surgical performance.

We develop the technique of ionization parameter mapping (IPM) to probe the optical depth of Hii regions, applying our method to the Magellanic Clouds. Our results dramatically clarify the radiative transfer in these galaxies. Based on Sii, Oiii, and Hα imaging from the Magellanic Clouds Emission Line Survey, we find that the frequency of optically thin objects correlates strongly with Hα luminosity and correlates inversely with Hi column density. The aggregate escape fraction for the Lyman continuum is sufficient to ionize the diffuse, warm ionized medium, but the galactic escape fraction is dominated by the few largest Hii regions. The quantitative trends are similar in both the LMC and SMC in spite of their different star formation and Hi properties.

The ESA observatory INTEGRAL (International Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory) is dedicated to fine imaging and spectroscopy in the energy range 15 keV to 10 Mev with concurrent X-ray (3-35 keV) and optical monitoring. It was launched on October 17, 2002 and has been succesfully operating ever since. Its two main instruments the spectrometer SPI – optimized for high resolution spectroscopy – and the imager IBIS – optimized for for high resolution imaging – are complemented by the X-ray monitor JEM-X and the optical monitor OMC. All the high energy instruments use coded mask techniques, allowing imaging in the gamma-ray range and combining wide fields of view with high spatial resolution. The presentation gives an overview of the unique properties of INTEGRAL.

In nuclear power plants the fast neutron fluence on the pressure vessel (PV) inner wall is measured by the scraping sampling method (1). As the inner plating of the pressure vessel contains 0.5 - 0.6 % of niobium, 93mNb (tt/2 = 16a) isomer is produced by the reaction 93Nb (n, n’). The activity of 93mNb is related to the fast neutron fluence.
Scraping samples (few hundred of mg) were taken from the PV inner wall. The niobium was chemically extracted from steel by using a HAP column. This extraction was needed to reduce matrix effects and to avoid interferences of other activities with 93mNb

A method to measure low level iodine concentrations by means of a Total Reflectance X-Ray Spectrometer (TXRF) was presented at the 1986 and 1988 Denver X-Ray Conferences (Ref. 1 and 2.). The optimum set-up of the spectrometer for this purpose was obtained by using a Cu-anode tube. The collimated beam was two times totally reflected: first on the mirror and then on the synsil sample substrate. By these means the undesired high energy bremsstrahlung was almost eliminated. This operational mode is very convenient for iodine measurement by L-lines. The detection limit of iodine was as low as 100 pg.
For simultaneous measurement of several elements (I2<Z<83) it was necessary to change the set-up of the spectrometer.

A special measurement technique has been developed to measure very low level iodine concentrations. The gas and water samples to be analysed are taken from the POSEIDON facility at PSI where retention of iodine in water pools in conjunction with light water reactor safety analysis is under investigation. The amount of iodine was measured by means of a Total Reflectance X-Ray Spectrometer (TXRF).

In the event of an accident in a light water moderated nuclear plant, the fission products escape from the water moderator in form of gas bubbles. One of the most important fission products is Iodine. Presently there are only rough estimations of the escape of Iodine. The aim of the experiment planned at the Swiss Federal Institute for Reactor Research (EIR) is to simulate the conditions of an accident and to measure the amount of Iodine which escapes from the moderator water into the space inside the reactor containment.
It is supposed that at 5 m depth in a water pool, the canning of the fuel element explodes releasing 1-3 liter large gas bubbles containing the volatile fission products. The Iodine vapor concentration, saturated in the gas bubble, will be about 3 mg/l. It is expected that the water strongly absorbs the Iodine vapor and the I concentration in the gas bubble arriving at the water surface will be strongly reduced to a few ug/l.

We review results obtained with the Focal Plane Crystal Spectrometer (FPCS) on the Einstein Observatory. Clear evidence is found for departures from ionization equilibrium in the interior of Puppis A. This comes from the observed weakness of the forbidden lines relative to the resonance lines for the He - like triplets of O VII and Ne IX. However, it is shown that this departure from equilibrium does not alter our conclusion, based on previous FPCS results, that O and Ne are overabundant relative to Fe. The spectrum of N132D shows strong O VIII emission and very weak Fe emission, suggesting an even greater O/Fe abundance enhancement than in Puppis A. In the Cygnus Loop, the O to Ne abundance ratio is approximately solar; we have no information about Fe. The O VII triplet shows clear evidence for departures from ionization equilibrium in the Cygnus Loop. The spectrum of Tycho's SNR contains lines from ionization stages of Fe XVII through Fe XXIII and XXIV, indicating that a wide range of ionization conditions are present. Cas A and Kepler's SNR show relatively less emission from the higher ionization stages. For Tycho, we measured the strength of the strong Si XIII lines, and we find that a many-fold overabundance of Si relative to Fe is required regardless of the equilibrium state of the emitting plasma (confirming the Solid State Spectrometer results). On a separate topic, the completed analysis of X-ray Doppler shifts in Cas A suggests that the emitting material is concentrated in a ring that is inclined to the line of sight and is expanding at ~5000 km s−1.

We present soft X-ray photomosaic images of two supernova remnants, Puppis A and IC 443, constructed from a series of exposures by the Einstein imaging instruments. The complex morphologies displayed in these images reflect the interaction between “middle-aged” supernova remnants and various components of the interstellar medium. Surface brightness variations across Puppis A suggest that inhomogeneities on scales from 0.2 to 30 pc are present in the interstellar medium, while the structure of IC 443 is apparently dominated by the interaction between the remnant and a giant molecular cloud.

A powerful young supernova remnant (SNR) similar to Cas A has recently been discovered in the irregular galaxy NGC 4449. We have obtained X-ray, optical and ultraviolet data which allow us to investigate possible models for this object and estimate its age. Several lines of argument indicate a massive star of order 25 M⊙ as the precursor to this remnant. If the x-ray emission is attributed to a reverse shock in the ejecta, the remnant should be ∼ 120 years old.

High resolution X-ray spectroscopy of the brightest knot of emission in the Puppis A supernova remnant shows that it is made up of ionizing plasma, far from equilibrium. Flux measurements in several X-ray lines enable us to determine the non-equilibrium conditions: electron temperature, ion populations, and time since the knot was heated by the supernova shock. Imaging and spectroscopic data from the Einstein Observatory together suggest that this knot is a cloud of density about 10 cm−3 which has recently been shocked to a temperature 7 × 106 K. Radio and optical data on the region appear consistent with this picture.

The topic of this paper really falls somewhere between this session on active galaxies and the session on clusters. What I will report is really a cluster phenomenon but one which depends on the presence of a dominant, massive galaxy in the cluster. Specifically, we have detected several X-ray emission lines from the vicinity of M87 in the Virgo Cluster and NGC 1275 in Perseus. The lines are indicative of material which is cooler than the bulk of the intracluster gas. This material is most likely accreting onto the central galaxy with the accretion rate controlled by the rate of radiative cooling.
The observations I am reporting were made with the Focal Plane Crystal Spectrometer (FPCS)on the Einstein Observatory. The instrument is a Bragg crystal spectrometer which has a resolving power (E/ΔE) of 50 to 500 over the energy range of 0.2 to 3 keV. It operates much like an optical scanner in that it has a narrow passband which is swept over some restricted spectral range containing an emission line. Detailed descriptions are given elsewhere (Canizares et al. 1977, 1979, Giacconi et al. 1979).
