Enhanced combined effects in aluminized explosives by an innovative initiation system
No full textA novel concept for enhancing performance from otherwise low-performance, insensitive energetic materials is suggested. The initiation mechanism, which is an essential feature of the concept, amplifies detonation pressure and resultant shaped charge jet velocity, responsible for effective energy increase and providing opportunities for achieving the combined effects of blast and directed energy. Attention is focused towards the use of aluminized explosives because of their blast potential and the degree of possible power amplification. In addition to strong bases of technical support, this study provides a plan for experimental demonstration and recommendations for addressing technology issues to more completely exploit the technology for precision strike and insensitive munitions.
Recent experimental demonstrations of this design mechanism validate simulation predictions, but high-pressure regime in-situ pressure measurement techniques have been unable to fully capture experimental pressure data due to the extreme environment produced by dynamic compression. New experimental techniques are discussed in order to better supply models with accurate experimental data and probe for precompression events that may provide insight into the hydrodynamic processes involved. With the goal of improving warhead performance reliability and penetrator stability, improvements towards modeling convergent detonation within non-ideal explosives are made. In detail, this work provides a critical assessment of previous contributors that have aimed to understand the intricate role of aluminum in prompt detonation for divergent and convergent schemes. This clarity addresses the predictive discrepancies of large-scale tests noted by LLNL, AFRL, NSWC-IH, and others. This work identifies the challenges centered around the size effect and the incomplete modeling of aluminum reactions. In order to better quantify the performance improvements of this new initiator design, revisions to equation of state thermochemical energy values are made that improve model consistency with detonation behavior and theory. Re-interpretations are provided for the standardization of cylinder expansion tests and its utility for non-ideal explosives. Finally, recommendations are provided to further characterize run-to-steady state detonation trends and investigate precompression phenomena within non-ideal explosives.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2022-08-01The student, Daniel Meaney, accepted the attached license on 2020-05-19 at 12:39.The student, Daniel Meaney, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2020-05-19 at 12:56.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2020-05-22 at 13:51.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #15377 on 2020-10-02 at 15:48:46Made available in DSpace on 2020-10-07T22:48:03Z (GMT).

Summary of a National Institute of Mental Health workshop: developing animal models of anxiety disorders
No full textRationale: There exists a wide range of animal models and measures designed to assess anxiety or fearfulness. However, the relationship between these models and clinical anxiety symptoms and syndromes is unclear. The National Institute of Mental Health convened a workshop to discuss the relationship between existing behavioral models of anxiety and the clinical profile of anxiety disorders. A second goal of this workshop was to outline various approaches towards modeling components of anxiety disorders. Objectives: To briefly describe epidemiological and behavioral manifestations of clinical anxiety syndromes and how they relate to commonly employed animal models of anxiety. To describe approaches and considerations for developing, improving, and adapting anxiety models to better understand the neurobiology of anxiety. Methods: Clinicians, psychiatrists and clinical and basic neuroscientists presented data exemplifying different approaches towards understanding anxiety and the role of animal models. Panel members outlined what they considered to be critical issues in developing and employing animal models of anxiety. Results: This review summarizes the discussions and conclusions of the workshop including recommendations for improving upon existing models and strategies for developing novel models. Conclusions: The probability of developing comprehensive animal models that accurately reflect the relative influences of factors contributing to anxiety disorder syndromes is quite low. However, ample opportunity remains to better define and extend existing models and behavioral measures related to specific processes that may be disrupted in anxiety disorders and to develop new models that consider the impact of combined factors in determining anxious behaviors.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/41976/1/213-157-4-327_s002130100859.pd
Longitudinal evidence of the impact of normal thyroid stimulating hormone variations on cognitive functioning in very old age
No full textThe purpose of this study was to examine longitudinal associations among thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels and cognitive performance. Data collected at the first three assessment times, approximately 3 years apart, are reported for the survivors (n=45) from a previously published cross-sectional study. Participants were aged 75–93 years at baseline, and data reported were collected in the Kungsholmen Project, a longitudinal project investigating aging and dementia. Analyses revealed that although declining verbal fluency and visuospatial abilities were accompanied by simultaneously declining TSH levels, the pattern of cross-sectional and longitudinal results are interpreted such that declining TSH levels may have caused episodic memory deficits later on. These results were obtained in the examination of 6-year but not 3-year change, and after removal of the cognitive variation associated with depressive mood symptoms
