Confirmation of Interstellar Methycyanodiacetylene (CH3C5N)

Author(s)
Lewis E. Snyder, J M. Hollis, P R. Jewell, Francis J. Lovas, A J. Remijan
Ten spectral lines of the symmetric-top molecule methylcyanodiacetylene (CH3C5N) have been detected with the 100 m Green Bank Telescope (GBT) toward the Taurus

Simultaneous Grain Boundary Migration and Grain Rotation

Author(s)
M Upmanyu, David J. Srolovitz, A E. Lobkovsky, James A. Warren, W Carter
The energy of a polycrystalline network can be reduced by both grain boundary migration and by grain rotation. We perform a series of molecular dynamics (MD)

Texture Measurements in Fiber-Oriented PMN-PT

Author(s)
Kristen H. Brosnan, G L. Messing, Richard J. Meyer, Mark D. Vaudin
Textured (1-x)(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-xPbTiO3 (PMN-PT) ceramics obtained by the templated grain growth (TGG) process a significant fraction of the piezoelectric

Method for Measuring the Raman Gain Tensor in Optical Fiber

Author(s)
Idan Mandelbaum, M Bolshtyansky, T F. Heinz, Angela R. Hight Walker
In this paper we introduce a technique to measure the tensor properties of the Raman gain in a short piece (10m) of silica based polarization maintaining

Performance of Electret Ionization Chambers in Magnetic Field

Author(s)
P Kotrappa, L R. Stieff, Timothy F. Mengers, Robert McMichael, Robert D. Shull
Electret Ionization Chambers (EIC) are widely used for measuring radon and radiation. The radiation measured includes alpha, beta and gamma radiation. These

International Comparison of Impact Reference Materials (2004)

Author(s)
Christopher N. McCowan, G. Roebben, Y. Yamaguchi, S. Lefrancois, Jolene D. Splett, S. Takagi, A. Lamberty
A three-year horizontal comparison has been completed between national laboratories that certify specimens for the indirect verification of Charpy impact test

The evaluation of an autosomal SNP 12-plex assay

Author(s)
Peter M. Vallone, Amy E. Decker, Michael D. Coble, John M. Butler
SNPs have the potential to play a useful role in human identification testing. Small PCR amplicon sizes associated with SNP typing technologies make SNPs

SANS and XRR Porosimetry of a Polyphenylene Low-k Dielectric

Author(s)
M S. Silverstein, Michael Shach-Caplan, Barry J. Bauer, R C. Hedden, V. J. Lee, B G. Landes
Nanometer scale porosity is being introduced into low-k dielectrics in an attempt to achieve the permittivities of less than 2.0. X-ray reflectivity (XRR)

Programmable Vector Point-Spread Function Engineering

Author(s)
M R. Beversluis, L Novotny, Stephan J. Stranick
We use a nematic liquid crystal spatial light modulator (SLM) to control the vector point spread function of a microscope objective by manipulating the pupil
