In-situ oxidation experiments in oxygen pressures up to 1.3 Pa indicate that the 140 K carbon monoxide oxidation process is self-limiting. This experimental...
As network transmission speeds increase, packet streams increasingly uncover fine details of the interior behavior of router hardware and software. This...
The sheet conductances of top-pinned spin valves and single-material films were measured in situ as the thin-film layers were grown. The data were fit to a...

This paper describes the development of three-dimensional stability surfaces, or maps, that combine the traditional dependence of allowable (chatter-free) chip...
This paper presents an overview of current work and a discussion of the features of protected elevator systems that can provide safe and reliable operation both...
The use and scope of LADAR (laser detection and ranging) applications continues to expand as the technology matures. This growth is reflected in the National...
The reaction path for the catalytic conversion of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) by the enzyme mammalian adenylyl cyclase...

We describe the fabrication of chip-sized alkali atom vapor cells using silicon micromachining and anodic bonding technology. Such cells may find use in highly...
The polarization of a nearest-neighbor (nn) Pb-O vacancy pair in PbTiO3 is calculated, using the modern theory of polarization, implemented in the density...
Smoke is a mixture of gases and suspended particulate matter, or aerosols. The nature of the aerosol component of smoke can play a significant role in the...

A number of simulations were performed using the CFAST zone fire model to predict the relative times at which smoke inhalation and heat exposure would result in...
A thermodynamic model is developed of the free energy of gas-filled voids formed within cavities on solid surfaces covered by a liquid. Capillary effects are...
