Wildland Fires within Municipal Jurisdictions

Author(s)
Douglas S. Thomas, David T. Butry
Each year, wildland fires threaten structures and occupants of the wildland-urban interface (WUI). Currently, wildfire ignition estimates largely exclude...

Surface Plasmon Polariton Raman Microscopy

Author(s)
Hae-Wook Yoo, Lee J. Richter, Hee-Tae Jung, Chris A. Michaels
We report surface plasmon polariton (SPP) mediated Raman microscopy on dielectric films in contact with a Ag layer at 785 nm with spatial resolution approaching...

Accessibility of Pores in Coal to Methane and Carbon Dioxide

Author(s)
Yuri B. Melnichenko, Lilin He, Richard Sakurovs, Arkady L. Kholodenko, Tomasz Blach, Maria Mastalerz, Andrzej P. Radlinski, Gang Cheng, David F. Mildner
Fluid-solid interactions in natural and engineered porous solids underlie a variety of technological processes, including geological storage of anthropogenic...

Spectroscopic Measurement of the Vapour Pressure of Ice

Author(s)
Katarzyna E. Bielska, Daniel K. Havey, Gregory E. Scace, D Lisak, Joseph T. Hodges
We present a laser absorption technique to measure the vapor pressure of ice. This method is referenced to the triple point state of water and uses frequency...

Social and Physical Aspects of Seismic Risk

Author(s)
Carmen D. Gon¿alves, Antonio Possolo
Seismic risk has social and physical aspects: although very different in nature, they are intertwined and share striking similarities. Seismic risk assessment...

Oxidatively Induced DNA Damage and Cancer

Author(s)
M Miral Dizdar, Pawel Jaruga
Oxidatively induced DNA damage is caused by endogenous and exogenous sources in living organisms. Many resulting DNA lesions are mutagenic and lead to mutations...

Contributions to anelasticity in langasite and langatate

Author(s)
Ward L. Johnson, Sudook A. Kim, Christine F. Rivenbark, Satoshi Uda
Maximization of the quality factors Q of langasite (LGS) and langatate (LGT) is necessary for optimal performance of acoustic resonators of these materials in...

More than Moore or More Moore: a SWOT analysis

Author(s)
Herbert S. Bennett, G. D. Hutcheson
Over the last decade, the world of semiconductors has broadened its horizon from More Moore and beyond conventional scaling to More than Moore. Some first...

Laser cooling and readout of an LC resonator

Author(s)
Jacob M. Taylor, Anders Sorensen, C. M. Marcus, E.S. Polzik
We explore a method for laser cooling and optical detection of excitations in a LC electrical circuit. Our approach uses a nanomechanical oscillator as a...

Mechanisms of Cement Hydration

Author(s)
Jeffrey W. Bullard, Hamlin M. Jennings, Richard A. Livingston, Andre Nonat, George W. Scherer, Jeffrey S. Schweitzer, Karen L. Scrivener, Jeffrey J. Thomas
Several detailed reviews have been written about the kinetics of cement hydration . In this review, focus is placed on a number of recent advances in...

Copper oxide nanoparticle mediated DNA damage in terrestrial plant models

Author(s)
Bryant C. Nelson, Donald H. Atha, Elijah J. Petersen, Huanhua Wang, Danielle Cleveland, Richard D. Holbrook, Pawel Jaruga, M Miral Dizdar, Baoshan Xing
Engineered nanoparticles, due to their unique electrical, mechanical and catalytic properties, are presently found in many commercial products and will be...

M-ary state phase-shift keying discrimination below the homodyne limit

Author(s)
Francisco E. Becerra Chavez, Jingyun Fan, Gerald Baumgartner, Sergey V. Polyakov, Julius Goldhar, Jonathan Kosloski, Alan L. Migdall
We investigate a strategy for M-ary discrimination of nonorthogonal phase states with error rates below the homodyne limit. This strategy uses feed forward to...

Chern Numbers Hiding in Time-of-Flight Images

Author(s)
Ian B. Spielman, Erhai Zhao, Noah Bray-Ali, Carl J. Williams, Indubala Satija
We present a novel technique for detecting topological invariants -- Chern numbers -- from time-of-flight images of ultra-cold neutral atoms. The Chern number...

Electrolyte stability determines scaling limits for solid-state 3D Li-ion batteries

Author(s)
Dmitry A. Ruzmetov, Vladimir P. Oleshko, Paul M. Haney, Henri J. Lezec, K Karki, K Baloch, Amit K. Agrawal, Albert Davydov, Sergiy Krylyuk, Y Liu, JY Huang, Mihaela M. Tanase, John Cumings, Albert A. Talin
Rechargeable, all-solid state Li-ion batteries (LIBs) with high specific capacity and small footprint are highly desirable to power an emerging class of...

Counting the Leaves of Trees

Author(s)
Brian D. Cloteaux, Luis A. Valentin
A number of important combinatorial counting problems can be reformulated into the problem of counting the number of leaf nodes on a tree. Since the basic leaf...
