Viscoelastic Characterization of Fusion Processing in Bimodal Polyethylene Blends

June 2, 2014
Author(s)
Aaron M. Forster, Wei-Lun Ho, Kar T. Tan, Donald L. Hunston
Polyethylene is an advantageous material for the construction of buried pipelines. It is corrosion resistant, seismic tolerant, and utilizes low cost installation methods. Pipe sections are often joined using thermal fusion processes. The strength of the

Absorptive Limiter for Frequency Selective Circuits

June 1, 2014
Author(s)
Juan C. Collado Gomez, Eduard Rocas, James C. Booth, Jordi Mateu, J. M. O'Callaghan, J. Verdu, A. Hueltes
This paper describes a novel absorptive limiter for frequency selective circuits. The proposed circuit allows the design of absorptive limiters based on a bi-state phase shifter, which is appropriate for integration into channelizing devices, such as

Aqueous Solubilization of Hydrophobic Supramolecular Metal-Organic Nanocapsules

June 1, 2014
Author(s)
Harshita Kumari, Steven R. Kline, Jerry L. Atwood
Micelles of metal-seamed C-alkylpyrogallol[4]arene-based (PgC n M) hexamers and dimers in water have been formulated and characterized using in situ scattering techniques. The aqueous solubilization of these hydrophobic nanocapsules is facilitated by the

Circuit Speed Timing Jitter Increase in Random Logic Operation after NBTI Stress

June 1, 2014
Author(s)
Guangfan Jiao, Jiwu Lu, Jason Campbell, Jason Ryan, Kin P. Cheung, Chadwin D. Young, Gennadi Bersuker
Recently, much effort has been spent trying to relate NBTI observations to real circuit impacts. While many of these efforts rely on circuit simulation to bridge this gap, an experimental approach is, of course, preferred. In this study we provide this

Content-Based Video Copy Detection Benchmarking at TRECVID

June 1, 2014
Author(s)
George M. Awad, Paul D. Over, Wessel Kraaij
This paper presents an overview of the video copy detection benchmark which was run over a period of 4 years (2008-2011) as part of the TREC Video Retrieval (TRECVID) workshop series. The main contributions of the paper include i) an examination of the

Evolution of electrochemical interfaces in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC): a Ni and Zr resonant anomalous ultra-small-angle X-ray scattering studywith elemental and spatial resolution across the cell assembly

June 1, 2014
Author(s)
Andrew J. Allen, Jan Ilavsky, Pete R. Jemian, Artur Braun
Electrochemical interfaces are key to the direct conversion of fuels to electrical energy and lend energy converters like solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) their functionality. Over extended operation at high temperatures, the microstructure of the underlying

Experimental Study of Firebrand Transport

June 1, 2014
Author(s)
Samuel L. Manzello, Kuibin Zhou, Sayaka Suzuki
The NIST Firebrand Generator (NIST Dragon) has been used to quantify the vulnerability of structures to ignition by firebrand attack. The Firebrand Generator is also as useful device to study firebrand transport, and has been used to validate firebrand

Exposing Decking Assemblies to Continuous Wind-Driven Firebrand Showers

June 1, 2014
Author(s)
Samuel L. Manzello, Sayaka Suzuki
A series of experiments were conducted to examine potential vulnerabilities of wood decks to continuous, wind-driven firebrand showers. Sections of wood decks (1.2 m by 1.2 m) were constructed and attached to a re-entrant corner assembly. The deck

Gain and Loss in active waveguides based on lithographically defined quantum dots

June 1, 2014
Author(s)
Kevin L. Silverman, Luis Miaja Avila, Varun B. Verma, Richard P. Mirin, James J. Coleman
We report on the optical gain and loss of waveguides containing lithographically defined quantum dots. Lasing action has previously been demonstrated in a nominally identical structure. Measurements are made by monitoring the transmission of a resonant

Low carrier density epitaxial graphene devices on SiC

June 1, 2014
Author(s)
Yanfei Yang, Lung-I Huang, Yasuhiro Fukuyama, Fan-Hung Liu, Mariano Real, Paola Barbara, Chi-Te Liang, David B. Newell, Randolph Elmquist
Monolayer epitaxial graphene grown on a hexagonal silicon carbide (SiC) substrate is typically found to be heavily n-doped (10e13 cm-2) and in most devices made with the as-grown epitaxial graphene the quantized Hall resistance plateau with Landau level
