We have measured the temperature dependence of spin-torque-driven self-oscillations in point-contact nanooscillators for both in-plane and out-of-plane applied
C-reactive protein (CRP) is a serum analyte of clinical interest in ranges which are difficult to detect using standard mass spectrometry approaches. This paper
Provides some first-order techniques for analyzing matcher performance. A novel argument is used to derive the power-law as a kind of baseline for analyzing
High resolution Fourier transform spectra of a sample of sulfur dioxide enriched in 34S (95.3%). have been completely analyzed leading to a large set of

The electrodeposition of Pt100-xCux alloys is demonstrated using an electrolyte comprised of 1mol/L H2SO4, 0.001 mol/L K2PtCl4 and 0.1 mol/L CuSO4. Film growth
This paper describes some practical administrative issues and challenges in the deployment of DNSSEC - an IETF specified suite of security measures for securing
We compare experimental and predicted thermophysical properties of two samples of rocket propellant RP-1 obtained from different batches of RP-1 that exhibit

The neutron typically beta decays into a proton, electron, and antineutrino. In some decays, it can be accompanied by a high energy photon. We recently
Senescence of retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells is a crucial event in the pathogenesis of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). This study was design to

In 1994, the U.S. Congress enacted the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act to "protect the right of access of consumers to safe dietary supplements". In
As technology progresses, the control of environment for experiments is also getting more sophisticated; such as the control of lab temperature and vibration

The enzyme telomerase is expressed in 85% to 90% of all human cancers, but not in normal, non-stem cell somatic tissues at detectable levels. Clinical studies
Genomes differ systematically in Guanine-plus-Cytosine (GC) content. GC-rich genomes encode proteins enriched in amino acids with GC-rich codons, such as

A model system was used to study the potential improved efficacy of fluoride (F) rinses with a built-in mechanism for continuous calcium (Ca) release. The
We develop a covariance matrix describing the uncertainty of a new timebase for waveform measurements determined with the National Institute of Standards and

Alternating multi-layer and 1:1 blended films of zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc)and buckminsterfullerene (C60) were investigated as model active layers for solar
The performance of microwave components is sensitive to vibrations to some extent. Among them, microwave cables and connectors, bandpass filters, mechanical
Spectrum simulation is a useful practical and pedagogical tool. Particularly with complex samples or trace constituents, a simulation can help to understand the
