Nb 3Sn superconducting wires made with restacked-rod process (RRP®) were found to have a dramatically improved resilience to axial tensile strain when alloyed...
In this paper, we describe an apparatus for correcting the timebase errors when calibrating the response of an equivalent-time sampling oscilloscope using a...
This Resource Letter is a guide to the literature describing both experimental and theoretical work on the determination of values of certain fundamental...
While high volume fly ash (HVFA) concretes can be designed and produced to meet 28-d strength requirements and often even exceed the durability performance of...
This is an Editorial for the April, 2010 issue of IEEE Microwave Magazine. Kate Remley, the Editor-in-Chief, writes about timely topics for the members of the...

Many metals emit electrons when exposed to UV radiation from excimer lasers (photon energies 4 eV to 8 eV). Deformation can significantly affect the intensity...
A combination of classical thermodynamics and molecular theory was used to calculate the enhancement factor (ratio of partial pressure to saturated vapor...
We have developed a methodology for calibrating 68Ge radioactivity content in a commercially-available calibration source for dose calibrators in a way that is...
In 1975 Clifford Glenwood Shull was elected to membership in the National Academy of Science. He had earlier, 1956, been admitted to the American Academy of...
