Pairwise Alignment of Chromatograms using a Fisher-Rao Metric

September 2, 2014
Author(s)
William E. Wallace, Anuj Srivastava, Kelly H. Telu, Yamil Simon
A new approach to aligning chromatograms is introduced and applied to examples of metabolite identification by liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC MS). A square root representation of the chromatogram’s derivative coupled with a Fisher Rao

A 40 GHz Air-Dielectric Cavity Oscillator with Low Phase Modulation

September 1, 2014
Author(s)
Archita Hati, Craig W. Nelson, Billy F. Riddle, David A. Howe
We describe the design of a low-phase modulated (PM) noise, 40 GHz oscillator that uses a conventional air-dielectric cavity resonator as a frequency discriminator to improve the PM noise of a commercial 10 GHz dielectric resonator oscillator (DRO)

Absorption Characteristics and SAR of a Lossy Sphere inside a Reverberation Chamber

September 1, 2014
Author(s)
Christopher L. Holloway, Damir Senic, John M. Ladbury, Galen H. Koepke
This study presents an experimental approach to the analysis of absorption characteristics of a lossy dielectric object in a reverberant environment. The study used a canonically shaped water-filled sphere, convenient for ACS calculations (analytical or by

Advanced Topics in Forensic DNA Typing: Interpretation (textbook)

September 1, 2014
Author(s)
John M. Butler
This book is primarily intended for DNA analysts or those trying to understand what a DNA analyst does in his or her review of forensic DNA data that was obtained by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification and short tandem repeat (STR) typing via

BQP-completeness of Scattering in Scalar Quantum Field Theory

September 1, 2014
Author(s)
Stephen P. Jordan, Keith S. Lee, John Preskill
Recent work has shown that quantum computers can in polynomial time compute scattering probabilities in massive quantum field theories. One can translate this task into a corresponding formal problem in computational complexity theory. Here, we establish

Efficient diffractive phase optics for electrons

September 1, 2014
Author(s)
Tyler R. Harvey, Jordan S. Pierce, Amit Agrawal, Benjamin McMorran, Peter Ercius, Martin Linck
Electron diffraction gratings can be used to imprint well-defined phase structure onto an electron beam. For example, diffraction gratings have been used to prepare electron beams with unique phase dislocations, such as electron vortex beams, which hold

Investigations of Near-Edge Ballistic Impacts on Law Enforcement Body Armor

September 1, 2014
Author(s)
Kirk D. Rice, Amanda L. Forster, Michael A. Riley, Nicholas Paulter
In 2005 and 2006, two law enforcement officer-involved shootings resulted in injuries to the officers when bullets were not stopped in the officers' body armor. In both cases, the bullets struck the officers' armor quite close to the edge of the ballistic

Software for Dielectric characterization by microwave cavity perturbation corrected for non-uniform fields*

September 1, 2014
Author(s)
Nathan D. Orloff, Jan Obrzut, Christian J. Long, Thomas F. Lam, Pavel Kabos, David R. Novotny, James C. Booth, James A. Liddle
This software package was developed to analyze microwave cavity perturbation data in order to determine material dielectric properties. Example software is provided to assist with data acquisition and organization. Specifically, it is de-signed to be used
