Heterologous expression systems are often employed to generate sufficient quantities of isotope-labeled proteins for high-resolution NMR studies. Recently, the...
Reliable algorithms for simulation of electron trajectories in solids are needed for quantification of Auger electron spectroscopy, particularly for...
Flow models underlie popular programming languages and many graphical behavior specification tools. However, their semantics is typically ambiguous, causing...

The n-qubit concurrence canonical decomposition (CCD) is a generalization of the two-qubit canonical decomposition SU(4)=[SU(2) (x) SU(2)] ? [SU(2) (x) SU(2)]...
We report that concentrated fumed silica nanosols exhibit anomalous rheology with regards to predictions based on DLVO theory. Despite a high electrokinetic...
Building ventilation is a primary determinant of indoor air quality (IAQ) as it impacts contaminant concentrations and occupant comfort in terms of the...
The electric quadrupole moment of the 199Hg + 5d 96s 2 2 d5/2 state is measured to be (D, 5/2) = -2.98(8) × 10 -40 C m 2. The value was determined by measuring...
