Author(s)
Matthew Becker, Jeffrey Fagan, Nathan D. Gallant, Barry J. Bauer, Vardhan Bajpai, Erik K. Hobbie, Silvia H. De Paoli Lacerda, Kalman D. Migler, J P. Jakupciak
DNA-wrapped single wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) with broad length distributions are shown to reduce the viability of IMR90 primary human lung fibroblast cells

Tunneling Magnetoresistance With Amorphous Electrodes

Author(s)
M Gradhand, Christian Heiliger, P Zahn, I Mertig
A detailed first principles analysis of the transport properties of different magnetic electrode materials for MgO tunnel junctions is performed to elucidate

Stress-strain behavior of rat pulmonary arteries

Author(s)
Elizabeth S. Drexler, J Wright, Andrew Slifka, Christopher N. McCowan, Dunbar Ivy, R Shandas
The stress-strain behavior of rat pulmonary arteries was studied using a bubble inflation technique. To obtain mechanical properties, an analytical method to

Randomized Benchmarking of Quantum Gates

Author(s)
Emanuel Knill, D. Leibfried, R. Reichle, J. Britton, R. B. Blakestad, J. D. Jost, C. Langer, R Ozeri, Signe Seidelin, David J. Wineland
A key requirement for scalable quantum computing is that elementary quantum gates can be implemented with sufficiently low error. One method for determining the

Onset of Convection in Two Liquid Layers with Phase Change

Author(s)
Geoffrey B. McFadden, Sam R. Coriell, Katharine F. Gurski, David Cotrell
We perform linear stability calculations for horizontal fluid bilayers that can undergo a phase transformation, taking into account both buoyancy effects and

Optical Anisotropy of Semiconducting Single-Wall Carbon Nanotubes

Author(s)
Jeffrey Fagan, Erik K. Hobbie, Jeffrey R. Simpson, Lee J. Richter, Idan Mandelbaum, Vardhan Bajpai, Derek L. Ho, Barry J. Bauer, Angela HightWalker, Ryan Raffaelle
We measure the full optical anisotropy of individual semiconducting single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). Dispersion of aligned SWNTs in stretched polymer films

Toward a Computational Theory of Mind

Author(s)
James S. Albus
Scientific knowledge of the brain and technology of intelligent systems have developed to a point where a computational theory of mind is feasible. This paper

Observation of the Radiative Decay Mode of the Free Neutron

Author(s)
Jeffrey S. Nico, Maynard S. Dewey, Thomas R. Gentile, Hans P. Mumm, Alan K. Thompson, B Fisher, I Kremsky, Fred E. Wietfeldt, T E. Chupp, R Cooper, E Beise, K G. Kiriluk, J Byrne, Kevin J. Coakley
The theory of quantum electrodynamics predicts that beta decay of the neutron into a proton, electron, and antineutrino should be accompanied by a continuous

A practical guide to the CIF:usability measurements

Author(s)
Mary F. Theofanos, Brian C. Stanton, Nigel Bevan
Using the Common Industry Format ( CIF) to specify usability measures can positively influence the development process. The CIF remains inherently flexible and

Common Vulnerability Scoring System

Author(s)
Peter M. Mell, Karen Kent Scarfone, Sasha Romanosky
Organizations struggle to assess the relative importance of software vulnerabilities across disparate hardware and software platforms. They must prioritize
