Na 2B 10h 10 undergoes a transition from an ordered monoclinic phase to a disordered, face-centered-cubic phase near 370 K with the emergence of a vacancy-rich
The lithiation of ethylenediamine by LiH is a step-wise process forming the partially lithiated intermidiates LiN(H)CH 2CH 2NH 2 and [LiN(H)CH 2CH 2NH 2][LiN(H
The triblock copolymer Reverse Pluronic 17R4 consists of tow end blocks of poly(propylene oxide)(PPO) with a middle block of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO): PPO 14

In order to accommodate an increasing demand for carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with desirable characteristics one has to understand the origin of helicity of their
The orbital thermal management systems fall into two categories, ablative or reusable. The first type was successfully applied on the Apollo missions, the

Ultrafast photo-induced carrier dynamics in prototypical low band-gap polymer:fullerene photovoltaic blend films PTB7:PC70BM and P3HT:PC70BM is investigated
Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) requires robust solutions for representing and integrating product data models. Product data models enable information

The magnetic order, spin dynamics, and crystal structure of the multiferroic Sr 0.56Ba 0.44MnO 3 have been investigated using neutron and x-ray scattering
We propose and analyze a generalization of the Kitaev chain for fermions with long-range p-wave pairing, which decays with distance as a power-law with exponent

Developing effective energy resource management in the smart grid is challenging because the entities in both the demand and supply sides experience various
We describe protocols for passive atomic clocks based onquantum interrogation of the atoms. Unlike previous techniques, our protocols are adaptive and take
Chemical straightening, also known as a relaxer, is ubiquitously used among African American women to obtain straighter hair compared with their natural tresses
As the key structure of most dynamic pressure sensors, a diaphragm backed by an air cavity plays a critical role in the determination of sensor performance. In

Sources of pure spin currents are a fundamental building block of spintronic devices. In ferromagnet/normal metal heterostructures, spin currents are generated
The cryogenic design and performance of an apparatus used to magnetically confine ultracold neutrons (UCN) is presented. The apparatus is part of an effort to
In the early part of the 1970's built-up-roofing dominated the U.S. membrane roofing industry. It was estimated that 10 to 15 percent of these roofs failed, but
Residential fire sprinklers reduce the likelihood of room flashover, improving conditions for occupant egress, and thereby reduce the number of fatalities
