Background: Genome-scale -omics measurements are challenging to benchmark, due to the enormous number of individual measurands. Mixtures of previously
Melts with topologically distinct molecular structures are investigated by molecular dynamics simulation. We determine the mean polymer size and shape, and
The overlapping sphere (OS) model gives a two-phase microstructure (matrix plus inclusions) that is useful for testing out composite material ideas and other
The hydrogen concentration in metals during aqueous corrosion is influenced by the kinetics of hydrogen absorption. Measurements of absorption kinetics are
A simple electrochemical process for submonolayer deposition of ultrathin catalytic iridum (Ir) films is demonstrated. The process enables effective utilization

Water-filled hydrophobic cavities of channel proteins serve as gateways for transfer of ions across membrane. However, functional implications of hydration
In this Letter we derive a new representation of the free energy of polymer mixing. We begin with a Flory-Huggins-like free energy of mixing, and assume that
With quasi-elastic neutron scattering (QENS), we study the single-particle dynamics of the water confined in a hydrophilic silica material, MCM-41, at 4 kbar. A

We report a comprehensive strategy based on implementation of orthogonal measurement techniques to provide critical and verifiable material characteristics for
Two fully integrated rapid DNA platforms were tested as a part of a rapid DNA maturity assessment in the fall of 2014. The assessment was conducted with sets of

We review correlated uncertainties among the accurate determinations of the Boltzmann constant kB that used the techniques of primary acoustic gas thermometry
Isogenies are the morphisms between elliptic curves, and are accordingly a topic of interest in the subject. As such, they have been well-studied, and have been
