The effect of thermal exposures on several thermodynamic processes involving the storage and use of hydrogen has been examined using the NIST REFPROP database
Brillouin-light-scattering spectra previously have been shown to provide information on acoustic modes of polymeric lines fabricated by nanoimprint lithography
Food production and manufacturing of durable goods share common needs for understanding, modeling, and controlling processing conditions in order to obtain
To achieve an acceptable degree of accuracy at high frequencies in some standardized methods for primary calibration of laboratory standard (LS) microphones
We discuss the dynamics of an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate when pairs of atoms are converted into molecules by single-color photoassociation. Three main
Most commonly occurring images f(x,y) are not smoothly differentiable functions of the variables x and y. Rather, these images display edges, localized sharp
This paper investigates the significance of several micro-effects that have been proposed to influence pressure drop measurements in microchannels. Pressure

We demonstrate the ability of multiple forms of optical coherence tomography (OCT) in the frequency domain to quantitatively size scatterers. Combined with a
In July, 1951, Ben Warriner (chairman, 1952-1953) circulated a petition to begin the Microwave Theory and Techniques Society under the auspices of the Institute

Metamaterials, in particular, double negative materials, have been used in the design of electromagnetic resonators as a means to overcome the classical $
Chemical images of the surfaces and the interiors of coatings of rapamycin in poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) obtained by mass spectrometry and light

A polymer microfluidic platform for electrophysiological ion channel measurements is presented. The system includes an open-well bilayer lipid membrane
The one-dimensional piston shock problem is a classical result of shock wave theory. In this work, the analogous dispersive shock wave (DSW) problem for a
The variation of the blocking temperature T(subscript B) with measuring frequency f(subscript m) and applied field H are reported for Ni nanoparticles (NPs)
A recent article [1] presents a semianalytical method to solve the Landau Lifshitz (LL) equation. Spin motion is computed analytically as precession about the
We use stroboscopic video microscopy to study the motion of a sheared fluid-gel interface. External mechanical noise plays a role analogous to temperature, but
Single-photon detectors operating at visible and near-infrared wavelengths with high detection efficiency and low noise are a requirement for many quantum
We have recently introduced several important improvements in the measurement of distillation curves for complex fluids. The modifications to the classical

We utilize inelastic incoherent neutron scattering (INS) to quantify how fullerenes affect the fast molecular dynamics of a family of polystyrene related
Possible changes to the International System of Units (SI) are being discussed, including a proposal to define the units by specifying the values of a set of
