Author(s)
Michael D. Niemack, Kent D. Irwin, Joern Beyer, Hsiao-Mei Cho, William B. Doriese, Gene C. Hilton, Carl D. Reintsema, Daniel R. Schmidt, Joel N. Ullom, Leila R. Vale
Multiplexed superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) readout systems are a critical technology for measuring large arrays of superconducting

Probing the Nanoscale

Author(s)
Robert F. Cook
Nanoscale probes can now measure all manner of nanomechanical properties, opening up opportunities for new science and new devices.

Copulas for Uncertainty Analysis

Author(s)
Antonio M. Possolo
Applying the Monte Carlo method for propagation of measurement uncertainty described in the GUM Supplement 1, when the input quantities are correlated, involves

Kinetics of the Thermal Reaction of H Atoms with Propyne

Author(s)
Claudette M. Rosado-Reyes, Jeffrey A. Manion, Wing Tsang
The reaction of hydrogen atoms with propyne(CH≡CCH3) has been investigated in a heated single pulse shock tube at temperatures of 870-1145K and pressures of 2-9

Shaping Arbitrary Nondiffracting Beams

Author(s)
Carlos Lopez-Mariscal, Kristian Helmerson
We present a novel beam shaping method to generate nondiffracting beams with a specific transverse shape. By tailoring the angular spectrum of a Helmholtz-Gauss

Applications of Cross-Correlation Functions

Author(s)
Theodore V. Vorburger, Jun-Feng Song, Wei Chu, Li Ma, Xiaoyu A. Zheng, Thomas B. Renegar, Son H. Bui
We describe several examples where we use cross-correlation functions to quantify the similarity of 2D surface profiles or of 3D surface topography images. The

Package "cellVolumeDist"

Author(s)
Katharine M. Mullen, Michael W. Halter
This package implements a methodology for using cell volume distributions to estimate cell growth rates and division times that is described in the paper

RECIST vs. Volume Measurement in Medical CT Using Ellipsoids of Known Size

Author(s)
Zachary H. Levine, Bruce R. Borchardt, Nolan J. Brandenburg, Charles W. Clark, Balasubramanian Muralikrishnan, Craig M. Shakarji, Joseph J. Chen, Eliot L. Siegel
(a) Purpose: We wanted to test the extent to which two common methods of determining the sizes of tumors would perform when compared to a statistically

TESTING OF RESIDENTIAL HOMES UNDER WIND LOADS

Author(s)
Emil Simiu, Girma Bitsuamlak, Arindam Chowdury, Ruilong Li, Amanuel Tecle, Dong Hun Yeo
Aerodynamic testing of low-rise structures is fraught with difficulties that can be the cause of large measurement errors resulting in the underestimation of

Multi-level Spectroscopy of Two-Level Systems Coupled to a dc SQUID Phase Qubit

Author(s)
T. A. Palomaki, S. K. Dutta, R M. Lewis, A J. Przybysz, B. K. Cooper, H. Kwon, J. R. Anderson, C. J. Lobb, F. C. Wellstood, Eite Tiesinga
We report spectroscopic measurements of discrete two-level systems (TLSs) coupled to a dc SQUID phase qubit with a 16 μm2 area Al/AlOx/Al junction. Applying

Teeth: Among Nature's Most Durable Biocomposites

Author(s)
Brian R. Lawn, James J. Lee, H Chai
This paper addresses the durability of natural teeth from a materials perspective. Teeth are depicted as 'smart' biocomposites, highly resistant to cumulative
