Statement of Purpose: We are developing combinatorial methods for screening cell-material interactions. Although previous approaches for rapid screening have
This paper suggests that evolutionary models of network infrastructure in market economy can be derived from the underlying selfish behavior of users and
For mechanotransduction studies, extracellular matrix proteins should be robustly attached to the surface to prevent cell delamination during deformation. The
The EtherNet/IP interoperability recommendations are a result of work generated by the ongoing series of EtherNet/IP Implementors Workshops. The recommendations
We are developing a mobile heterodyne terahertz system based on hot electron bolometer (HEB) mixer receivers to both image and obtain spectroscopic signatures

A stabilized frequency comb provides a broadband array of highly resolved comb lines. Using a multiheterodyne technique, we measure the amplitude and phase of
The performance of microwave components is sensitive to vibrations to some extent. Among them, microwave cables and connectors, bandpass filters, mechanical

The recent advances in superconducting nanowire single-photon detector (SNSPD or SSPD) technology has enabled long distance quantum key distribution (QKD) over
This paper presents Version 4.0 of the CYCLE_D: NIST Vapor Compression Cycle Design Program. The model can simulate a basic subcritical or transcritical
We have developed a fiber-optic interferometer optimized for best performance in the frequency range from DC to 1 kHz, with displacement linearity of 1 % over a
Line width roughness (LWR) has been identified as a potential source of uncertainty in scatterometry measurements, and characterizing its effect is required to

The near-term objective of the work reported here is developing a protocol for rapidly mapping CD and edge roughness from high-resolution SEM images of
GaN nanowires with InGaN quantum wells (QW) were grown on heated Si(111) substrates by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) using elemental Ga and In and a radio
We recently presented and tested a model for a dynamic gravimetric standard for steady water flows. In the range 10 kg/s to 60 kg/s, the difference between the
While mobile handheld devices, such as cell phones and PDAs, provide productivity benefits, they also pose new risks. A vital safeguard against unauthorized
The most accurate width measurements in a scanning electron microscope (SEM) require raw images to be corrected for instrumental artifacts. Corrections are
This paper describes a proposed standard method for conducting a performance evaluation of wireless communications links used for the control and telemetry
