. neutron attenuation between isotopes, and the capability ofneutron detection in high gammaray intensities. A well-mod­erated neutron beam has been extracted from the reactorthermal column for neutron radiographic use. The beamcovers adetector area of 12.5 cm diameter with a thermalneutron intensity that can be varied from 5 x 10 to the 5thn/sq cm x s to 2 xl 0 to the 7th n/sq em x s, with acadrni­um ratio (OS nim cadmium cover on gold) of abouteou.Detectors available with thiS facility include direct methods(convertors include gadolinium metal and scintlllators) withfilms, activation transfer detectors (indium, dysprosium,gold), track-etch plastics, and a neutron image intensifier­television system. The latter sy~tem provides lmaqes.at arate of 30 frames per second and permits object moti9ry tobe followed. liVith neutrons one can readily obseve materi­als containing hydrogen, lithium, boron, cadmium or severalrare earths in combination with()thermaterjals,eve~:d~nse

metals. Therfore, examinations of adhesives, f1uids,explo­sives, plastics or hydriding in metals becomes feasible, asdoes examinati9nof items such as boron filamentcompos­ites or cadmium plating. Isotopic sensitivity permits, as ex­amples, differentiation between hYdr9ger; and deuterium, orbetween 113Cd and other cadmium isotopes. In addition,the fact that neutron images can be made by gamma-rayinsensitive techniques leads to inspection capability for ra­dioactive materials.

Baird (303) 497-3301FACILITY: The Electromagnetic Division of the NBS BOUl­der Laboratories has recently perfected two new and highlyaccurate methods for deterrnlninq antenna, characteristicsfrom measurements made at greatly. reduced. distances.The methods are known as the near field scanning (NF~)

and extrapolation techniques and two types of unique facili­lies have been constructed in order to implement them.Near-Field Scanning Facility is used to measure the near­field phase and amplitude over a plane area close to thetest antenna. From this information it is possible to accu­rately calculate the gain, patjern,andpolarization charac­teristics at all distances from the antenna, near field as wellas tar field. Applications include: measurement of antennapatterns, g8oin, and polarization from abput750 M.,z to 75GHz. Any. other 'application where it is necessary to have adetailed knowledge of electromagnetic field configurations,e.g., scattering experiments. Extrapolation Range Facilitiesconsist of a 60-meter outdoor range and a t O-meter indoorrange, for performing high accuracy measurements of gainand polarization of directive antennas. They areused to de­termine the desired far-field (infinite. separation distance)gain. and polarization properties of the antennas. Applica­tions include: high-accuracy measurements of antenna gainand polarization above about 500 MHz with no discernibleupper limit.

Steward (305) 475-0541EXPERTISE: The mission of the laboratory is to deveiopfundamental knowledge of the biology, ecology, and bio­chemistry of aquatic weeds including principles and mecha­nisms for control of aquatic weeds by biological, chemical,cultural, ecological, and integrated methods that are safe,and will avoid or minimize hazards to. the environment.Three species of insects have been released in an effort toimplement a program on the biological control of waterhya­cinth. The latest was the moth Sameodes albiquttalis whichwas released in 1978 and successfully established in Flor­ida. Studies designed to determine its effect on the growthdynamics of waterhyacinth are now underway. Preliminarystudies have been initiated to determine the feasibility of in­tegrating waterhyacinth control with plant growth regulators.Steps have been taken to expand the biological controlprogram to include Eurasin watermilfoil and hydrilla as tar­gets for this approach. Attempts are being made to identifyfactors responsible for successful establishment andspread of an aquatic weed. Studies of the basic biology ofhydrilla, a submersed weed, reveal the plant obtains nutri­tion thru both root and foliar absorption. Fertility of sedi­ments appears to be important in establishment and expan­sion of infestations. A new biotype of hydrilla was discov­ered in the NE, US which, has potential for sexual reproduc­tion. Comparative studies of the monoecious and dioeciousstrains are in progress. Research is being conducted onways of improving efficacy of the very limited number ofherbicides currently registered for use in water. Severalcontrolled release formulations of selected herbicides andplant growth regulators have recently been developed andevaluated for their potential utility in managing nuisanceaquatic plant growths. Studies are now underway to investi­gate soil absorption, site(s) of plant uptake and to deter­mine what modifications of the controlled release formula­

"tlona are desirable to optimize their effects on the targetplants and the aquatic ecosystem.

Federal Technology Transfer and the Center for theUtilization of Federal Technology

A new organization has now been established within the NationalTechnical Information Service (NTIS) to alert industry to selectedFederal technology having immediate practical value. It is the Cen­ter for the Utilization of Federal Technology (CUFT), and it wasestablished in response to the recently enacted Stevenson-WydlerTechnology Innovation Act. CUFT is working with Federal agenciesand their laboratories to select and highlight new technologieswhich have potential commerical or industrial application.

Starting with many.thousands of companies who are customersof NTIS, the Center is drawing upon NTIS' resources to alert indus­try to this selected technology. It is expanding the announcement ofGovernment inventions available for licensing, increasing the tech­nology fact sheets in its Tech Notes service, and preparing newspecial current awareness catalogs, directories, and services.

About The Stevenson-Wydler TechnologyInnovation Act

The Stevenson-Wydler Technology Innovation Act was enactedto encourage the transfer of Federal technology to the U.S. econo­my. It requires each Federal agency conducting R&D and theirmajor laboratories to identify technology having potential commercialor practical application and to take steps to encourage the transferof this technology. As part of this effort, agencies and their labora­tories have established Offices of Research and Technology Assess­ment (ORTA) to locate and identify potential practicable technolo­gies. Along with the establishment of these offices, the law alsocreated the Center for the Utilization of Federal Technology (CUFT).The Center, at NTIS, will be working with the Offices of Researchand Technology Assessment to receive and disseminate informa­tion on their newly developed technologies.

CUFT was established within the National Technical InformationService (NTIS) of the Department of Commerce because, as a nationaltechnical information clearinghouse and a cornerstone of the tech­nology publishing structure in the United States, NTIS is a keyparticipant in the development of advanced information productsand services for the achievement of U.S. productiVity and innova­tion goals in the 1980's. NTIS is the central source for the publicsale of U.S. Government-sponsored research, development, andengineering reports and computer software.

As a cornerstone of the technological publishing structure in theUnited States, the National Technical Information Service (NTIS) isa key participant in the development of advanced information productsand services for the achievement of U.S. productivity and innova­tional goals in the 1980's.

NTIS, an agency of the U.S. Department of Commerce, is thecentral source for the public sale of U.S. Government-sponsoredresearch, development, and engineering reports, as well as foreigntechnical reports and other analyses prepared by national and localgovernment agencies, their contractors, or grantees. It is the cen­tral source for federally generated machine-processable data filesand software and manages the Federal Software Exchange Center.Consequently, NTIS is one of the world's leading processors ofspecialty information.

Full summaries of current U.S. and foreign research reports andother specialized information, in hundreds of subject categories,are published regularly by NTIS in a wide variety of weekly newslet­ters, a biweekly journal, an annual index, and in various subscrip­tion. formats for other agencies. The complete texts of the reportscited are sold in paper and microform.

NTIS sells its technical information products and services underthe provisions of Title 15 of the U.S. Code (1151-7). The law estab­lished a clearinghouse for scientific, technical, and engineeringinformation and directed NTIS to be self-supporting. NTIS, there­fore, is a unique Government agency sustained only by its custom­ers. It operates very much like a business, but in the public service.All the costs of salaries, postage, and all other usual costs of doingbusiness, are paid from sales income; not from tax-supportedcongressional appropriations (certain developmental programs areexcepted).
