The development of rapid and simple wall coating strategies for high resolution electrophoretic separation of DNA is of crucial importance for the successful
This paper presents a multiple description (MD) video-coding scheme, which uses interlaced high signal to noise ratio (H-SNR) and low signal to noise ratio (L
The feasibility of using gas-phase pressure-density-temperature (p-ρ-T) measurements as a method of determining thermodynamic temperatures is evaluated
We describe a gated quantum dot device called a single-photon pump that produces single photons on demand through the controlled tunneling of individual

Clinical data indicate that secondary caries and restoration fracture are the most common problems facing dental resin composites. The ultimate goal is to
We discuss issues related to calibration of optical fiber power meters. The power readings may vary when using various types of fiber connectors, or even the
Using a Ca optical frequency standard at 657 nm, we demonstrate a method for reducing uncertainties in absolute frequency measurements of optical transitions

We have measured the quantum yield for exciting the motion of a single Co atom in CoCu n linear molecules constructed on a Cu(111) surface. The Co atom switched
This Hugh M. Huffman Memorial Award Lecture illustrates the power of phenomenological and statistical thermodynamics and the unique role of thermochemical data

We report on a novel, in-situ approach toward connecting and electrically contacting vertically aligned nanowire arrays using conductive nanoparticles. The
We present a portable spectrometer that uses the frequency-stabilized cavity ring-down spectroscopy technique to realize high-precision measurements of trace

Using a new device resembling a nano-CCD, and measuring the Coulomb blockade, we identify a new parameter, the "barrier capacitance". We then show how this
The percolation state of the capillary porosity in a hydrating cement paste has a large influence both on transport properties and on durability performance

We compare scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) imaging with single molecule conductive atomic force microscopy (C-AFM) measurements by probing a series of
Analytic expressions for the width and shift of a photoassociative resonance or an optically induced Feshbach resonance in ultra-cold collisions are derived
In previous work, several significant improvements in the measurement of distillation curves for complex fluids were introduced. The modifications to the
When repeated measurements are autocorrelated, it is not appropriate to use the traditional approach to calculate the uncertainty of the average of the

It was recently proposed to use small groups of trapped ions as qubit carriers in miniaturized electrode arrays that comprise a large number of individual
The average glass transition temperatures, Tg, of thin homopolymer films exhibit a thickness dependence, Tg(h), determined by a confinement effect and by the
Broadband coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (CARS) is demonstrated as an effective probe of the polymer thin film materials. A simple modification to a
