With photon-number resolving detectors, we show compression of interference fringes with in- creasing photon numbers for a Fabry-P erot interferometer. This...
We introduce a solver and preconditioning technique based on Domain Decomposition and the Fast Diagonalization Method that can be applied to tensor product...
We describe three gravimetric methods for accurately measuring the mass of picoliter-sized fluid droplets generated by a piezoelectric drop-on-demand (DOD)...

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...

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...
