An indirect comparison of the standards for air kerma of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), USA, and of the Bureau International des
As sustainability moves to the forefront of trends in construction, concrete mixture proportions must be adjusted and adapted to a new set of economic and

Unless repaired, DNA damage can drive mutagenesis or cell death. DNA repair proteins may therefore be used as biomarkers in disease detection or therapeutic
There is a variety of small-molecule species (e.g., tackifiers, plasticizers, oligosaccharides) the size-based characterization of which is of considerable
The number of intelligent and advanced technologies in the manufacturing, military and homeland security industries is increasing. Evaluating these technologies
Non-rigid and partial 3D model retrieval are two significant and challenging research directions in the field of 3D model retrieval. Little work has been done

Small-angle neutron scattering was used to study a binary blend of styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer (SAN) and deuterated poly(methyl methacrylate) (dPMMA), as
We look at certain character sums determined by isogenies on elliptic curves over finite fields. We prove a congruence condition for character sums attached to
We study optical wave deflection in a three-level active Raman gain medium using a spatially inhomogeneous pump field. Using the eikonal approximation, we
The increased focus on integrated computational materials engineering (ICME), especially through the Materials Genome Initiative (MGI) , has amplified the need

H.H. Chen et al [1] claim that adding 4He to spin-exchange optical pumping (SEOP) cells confines 3He atoms to a diffusion-limited region, which effectively
Although the effects of solar and lunar gravitational potentials on the frequencies of orbiting GPS clocks are actually negligible, a naive calculation appears

We report measurements and modeling performed on an ion source based on ionization of a laser-cooled atomic beam. We show a high brightness and a low energy
Many image processing problems are naturally expressed as energy minimization or shape optimization problems, in which the free variable is a shape, such as a
Trapping of nanometer size objects by optical tweezers is challenging because the forces become very small for nanoparticles and the resolving power of light
Optical characteristics of OLED panels have been investigated for the purpose of developing a test method for OLED panels for lighting applications. The

In this paper, we describe micro-fabricated frequency-scanned slot waveguide arrays operating between 130 and 180 GHz for planetary landing radar. The group
Research interest in waste heat conversion using thermoelectric materials has increased substantially in recent years partly because of the increasing price of
