Particulates in protein therapeutics, composed of agglomerated protein monomers, may cause an immunogenic response in patients. Consequently, industry and the...
As the availability of petroleum based liquid fuels is becoming increasingly problematic, alternative renewable biofuels attract growing R&D and industry...
A novel laser-heating technique, referred to as the laser-driven thermal reactor, was used in conjunction with laser transmission to determine the absorption...
Intelligent technologies within the military, law enforcement, and homeland security fields are continuously evolving. Testing these technologies is crucial to...

An alternate model is proposed to calculate the diffraction elastic constants from the elastic constants of the single crystal. It is based on the inverse...
Motivated by recent numerical studies of Ag on Pt(111), we derive a far-field expression for the RKKY interaction mediated by surface states on a (111) FCC...
We show how the Fourier transform of a shape in any number of dimensions can be simplified using Gauss' law and evaluated explicitly for polygons in two...
