We report on progress in developing compact sensors for atomic force microscopy (AFM), in which the mechanical transducer is integrated with near-field optical
The reliable measurement of pressures on low-rise buildings in the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) flow remains a challenge, as has been shown by the large

Descriptive terms are often used to characterize cells in culture, but the use of nonquantitative and poorly defined terms can lead to ambiguities when
There are now a large number of papers in the spectroscopic literature which make use of multiple-valued (frequently double-valued) coordinate systems and the
Abstract Measuring the dissimilarity between non-rigid objects is a challenging problem in 3D shape retrieval. One potential solution is to construct the models

We report a feedback method for controlling the sizes of hexagonally close packed two-dimensional colloidal crystals in a microfluidic quadrupole electrode
Most atomic models for a neutral hydrogen beam in fusion plasmas assume statistical (Boltzmann) distribution of populations for excited states with the same
The accuracies of modern quantum logic clocks have surpassed those of standard atomic fountain clocks. These clocks also provide a greater degree of control, as
The solubility of water in 1-octanol was measured from 2 °C to 96 °C by coulometric Karl Fischer titration. The mass fraction solubility at 25 ° was found to be
In this work, we describe a new imaging system, called a thermo-microscope, that can be used to visualize atmospheric pressure thermal desorption phenomena at

The work investigating the effect of saccharine as an additive on growth stress and structure of electrodeposited CoFe films is presented. The saccharine
[Print Title: "Establishing a Secure Framework"] Recently, NIST completed a fundamental transformation of the traditional certification and accreditation
We look at arithmetic progressions on elliptic curves known as Huff curves. By an arithmetic progression on an elliptic curve, we mean that either the x or y

The structure, interactions and inter-protein configurations of the protein lysozyme were studied in a variety of phases that are biotechnologically relevant
We present a novel imaging method for the measuring the position and magnetic moment of single micrometer scale particles. Our technique is based on magnetic
Electrical signals are used for endpoint detection in plasma etching, but the origin of the electrical changes observed at endpoint is not well understood. As

The complex nature of finished fuels makes definitive studies on composition and combustion properties very difficult and uncertain. This has led to the
Carbon dioxide capture and sequestration (CCS) is a very important industrial and environmental process to make use of the carbon dioxide as raw chemical for
