Discriminated properties of PEI functionalized gold nanoparticles (Au-PEIs) predetermined by synthetic routes of ligand exchange and reduction processes: Paths and Fates

June 17, 2019
Author(s)
Tae Joon Cho, John M. Pettibone, Vincent A. Hackley
Polyethyleneimine (PEI) functionalized AuNPs (Au-PEIs) are have potent as positively charged gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) for nano-medicinal applications, due to their cationic surfaces that promote cellular uptake and gene transfection. 1-6 1-6 1-61-6 Au

Manipulation Data Collection and Annotation Tool for Media Forensics

June 17, 2019
Author(s)
Eric Robertson, Haiying Guan, Mark Kozak, Yooyoung Lee, Amy Yates, Andrew Delgado, Daniel F. Zhou, Timothee N. Kheyrkhah, Jeff Smith, Jonathan G. Fiscus
With the increasing diversity and complexity of media forensics techniques, the evaluation of state-of-the-art detectors are impeded by lacking the metadata and manipulation history ground-truth. This paper presents a novel image/video manipulation

The Blind Side: Using ‘Canned’ Loading Protocols in Seismic Testing

June 17, 2019
Author(s)
Matthew S. Speicher, Bruce F. Maison
The seismic behavior of a building component (e.g., shear wall) is a fundamental attribute engineers need to assess the earthquake performance of a building. It is no surprise that component behavior is often dependent on the loading history. Repeatedly

Workshop 13: Building Measurement Assurance in Flow Cytometry

Lili Wang, Stephen Perfetto, Robert Hoffman, John T. Elliott, Sheng Lin-Gibson, Steven Bauer, Heba Degheidy, Judith Arcidiacono, Litwin Virginia
Two workshops were held to identify measurement challenges and potential solutions for building measurement assurance for flow cytometry. This report summarizes key findings, including the need for high quality reagents, reference standards or materials

Workshop 9: Control Cells or Not

June 17, 2019
Author(s)
Paul Wallace, Jonni S. Moore, Derek Jones, Litwin Virginia, Lili Wang, Yanli Liu
"Control Cells or Not" was an educational workshop that used surveys, lectures, and discussions to identify problems and solutions related to using commercially available control cell products and lab-developed approaches. Collective efforts are proposed

Building Design Considerations to Support Immediate Occupancy Performance Objectives

June 16, 2019
Author(s)
Siamak Sattar, Christopher Segura, Katherine Johnson, Therese P. McAllister, Steven McCabe
The intent of current building codes for typical commercial and residential buildings is to safeguard against loss of life to building occupants by minimizing the probability of structural collapse during natural hazard events. However, current codes do

Author(s)
Daniel S. Barker, Eric B. Norrgard, Nikolai N. Klimov, James A. Fedchak, Julia K. Scherschligt, Stephen P. Eckel
We demonstrate a compact (0.25 L) system for laser cooling and trapping atoms from a heated dispenser source. Our system uses a nano-fabricated diffraction grating to generate a magneto- optical trap (MOT) using a single input laser beam. An aperture in

CASFinder: Detecting Common Attack Surface

June 11, 2019
Author(s)
Meng Zhang, Yue Xin, Lingyu Wang, Sushil Jajodia, Anoop Singhal
Code reusing is a common practice in software development due to its various benefits. Such a practice, however, may also cause large scale security issues since one vulnerability may appear in many different software due to cloned code fragments. The well

Coherently displaced oscillator quantum states of a single trapped atom

June 11, 2019
Author(s)
Katherine C. McCormick, Jonas Keller, David J. Wineland, Andrew C. Wilson, Dietrich Leibfried
Coherently displaced harmonic oscillator number states of a harmonically bound ion can be coupled to two internal states of the ion by a laser-induced motional sideband interaction. The internal states can subsequently be read out in a projective
