The aerosol particle mass analyzer (APM) classifies aerosol particles according to their mass-to-charge ratio (Ehara et al., 1996). Particle mass can be...
The Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) provides an open framework for communicating the characteristics and impacts of IT vulnerabilities. CVSS consists...
This document attempts to interpret the history and rationale behind changes made in the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) from version 1 to version 2...

We discuss a new, compact design for a chip-scale differential atomic magnetometer that uses a single diverging laser beam to both pump and multiply probe the...
The study of how metal is deformed (how it flows) as parts are machined yields important insights into the metal cutting process. Recent improvements in both...
I will present a stripped down presentation on the fundamental mechanisms that give rise to spin torque effects. This presentation will assume the audience has...
The scanning tunneling microscope [STM] is widely used in both industrial and fundamental research to obtain atomic-scale images of metal surfaces. It provides...
