High temperature performance of the HITEMP2010 and HITRAN Online databases: comparison with frequency comb measurements of water vapor absorption from 6800 cm-1 to 7200 cm-1

April 3, 2018
Author(s)
Paul J. Schroeder, D Pfotenhauer, J Yang, William C. Swann, Ian R. Coddington, Nathan R. Newbury, Greg B. Rieker
The HITEMP2010 and HITRAN Online databases are important tools for predicting molecular absorption under various environmental conditions. At room temperature the databases can be quite accurate, owing to their development using room temperature absorption

Influence of Ion Solvation on the Properties of Electrolyte Solutions

April 3, 2018
Author(s)
Marat Andreev, Juan J. DePablo, Alexandros Chremos, Jack F. Douglas
It is widely appreciated that the addition of salts to water leads to significant changes in the thermodynamic and dynamic properties of these aqueous solutions, which have great significance in biology and manufacturing applications. However, no

The Multiplicative Complexity of 6-variable Boolean Functions

April 3, 2018
Author(s)
Cagdas Calik, Meltem Sonmez Turan, Rene C. Peralta
The multiplicative complexity of a Boolean function is the minimum number of AND gates that are necessary and sufficient to implement the function over the basis (AND, XOR, NOT). Finding the multiplicative complexity of a given function is computationally

UNCERTAINTY IN MULTI-SCALE CREEP RUPTURE LIFE MODELING AND A NEW APPROACH TO ESTIMATING FREQUENCY OF IN-SERVICE INSPECTION OF COMPONENTS AT ELEVATED TEMPERATURES (*)

April 3, 2018
Author(s)
Jeffrey T. Fong, Nathanael A. Heckert, James J. Filliben, Marvin J. Cohn
Uncertainty in modeling the creep rupture life of a full-scale component using experimental data at microscopic (Level 1), specimen (Level 2), and full-size (Level 3) scales, is addressed by applying statistical theory of prediction intervals, and that of

6 LiF:ZnS(Ag) Mixture Optimization for a Miniature Highly Efficient Cold Neutron Detector

April 2, 2018
Author(s)
A. Osovizky, Kevin N. Pritchard, Jeffrey B. Ziegler, Louis E. Binkley, Y. Yehuda-Zada, Peter NMN Tsai, Alan Keith Thompson, P. Yvonne Barnes, Kerry Siebein, Nancy Hadad, M. Jackson, C. Hurlbut, R. Ibberson, George M. Baltic, Charles Majkrzak, Nicholas C. Maliszewskyj
We report the optimization of a ^6^LiF:ZnS(Ag) scintillator mixture for an ultrathin (2nm), highly efficient cold neutron dector. Preliminary results with early protypes demonstrate excellent for 3.62 meV (4.75 Angstrom wavelenght) neutrons but mediocre

Method for Determining the Electrical Shape of a Scanning Probe Microscope Tip

April 2, 2018
Author(s)
Joseph J. Kopanski, Malcolm Regan, Lin You
Knowledge of the actual electrical tip shape can be used to better understand electric field gradients measured with eSPMs and to determine the suitability of various types of conducting SPM tips for electrical measurements. For co-axially shielded tips

Addressing Quality Assurance Issues in 3D Firearm and Toolmark Imaging

April 1, 2018
Author(s)
Michael T. Stocker, Robert M. Thompson, Johannes A. Soons, Thomas B. Renegar, Xiaoyu A. Zheng
The emerging capability for measuring and analyzing the three-dimensional (3D) surface topography of forensic samples is expected to have a profound impact on firearm and toolmark identification. As forensic laboratories are working to integrate 3D

HFERP -- A New Multivariate Encryption Scheme

April 1, 2018
Author(s)
Yashuhiko Ikematsu, Ray Perlner, Daniel Smith-Tone, Tsuyoshi Takagi, Jeremy Vates
In 2016, Yasuda et al.presented a new multivariate encryption technique based on the Square and Rainbow primitives and utilizing the plus modifier that they called SRP. The scheme achieved a smaller blow-up factor between the plaintext space and ciphertext

Improved Cryptanalysis of HFEv- via Projection

April 1, 2018
Author(s)
Jintai Ding, Ray Perlner, Albrecht R. Petzoldt, Daniel Smith-Tone
The HFEv- signature scheme is one of the most studied multivariate schemes and one of the major candidates for the upcoming standardization of post-quantum digital signature schemes. In this paper, we propose three new attack strategies against HFEv-, each
