We model and measure the absolute response of an intensity-modulated photoacoustic spectrometer comprising a 10 cm long resonator and having a Q-factor of
This paper investigates the capabilities of the Bag-of-Words (BW) method in the 3D shape retrieval field. The contributions of this paper are: 1) the 3D shape

Recent experimental studies of molten metal droplets wetting and spreading on high temperature reactive substrates have established that the majority of triple
A model of hydride formation and dissolution has been proposed for a single spherical nano-particle and for a colletion of such particles with a given size
Luer adapters are convenient tools to rapidly and reversibly connect tubing from fluid reservoirs to microfluidic devices. One problem associated with the use
Microwave double resonances were measured is a wall-coated Rb vapor cell as a function of additional buffer gas pressure. These data were compared to similar
We combine accurate ab initio calculations of the second and third density virial coefficients, B(T) and C(T), of 4He with measurements of its pressure-density

In this work, we develop a Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy-based method to measure the gas-phase dynamics occurring during atomic layer deposition of
The ability to force immiscible polymers into specific, targeted structures would enable the generation of blends with tailored performance by exploiting the
A quantum state is called concordant if it has zero quantum discord with respect to any part. By extension, a concordant computation is one such that the state

We analyze a technique for the preparation of low entropy many-body states of atoms in optical lattices based on adiabatic passage. In particular, we show that
Many of the current investigations on the environmental health and human safety risks of engineered nanomaterials focus on their short-term acute effects

A new method for analyzing the chemical purity and consistency of microscale samples is described using a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) sensor platform. The
Oxidatively induced DNA damage occurs in living organisms by endogenous and exogenous sources, and is implicated in a variety of disease processes including

In 2004, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) established the ultraviolet (UV) spectral irradiance scale from 200 nm to 400 nm using the
This paper proposes a measure for assessing the degree of equivalence between the two laboratories in a key comparison. The measure is called asymmetric degree
