Revealing thermodynamics of DNA origami folding via affine transformations

June 4, 2020
Author(s)
Jacob M. Majikes, Paul N. Patrone, Daniel R. Schiffels, Michael P. Zwolak, Anthony J. Kearsley, Samuel P. Forry, James A. Liddle
Structural DNA nanotechnology, as exemplified by DNA origami, has enabled the design and construction of molecularly precise objects for a myriad of applications. However, limitations in imaging, and other characterization approaches, make a quantitative

Assessing Fire Smoke to Predict Backdraft and Smoke Explosion Potential

June 3, 2020
Author(s)
Ryan Falkenstein-Smith, Thomas Cleary
The Fire Research Division at the National Institute of Standards and Technology is investigating the ability to forecast backdraft or smoke explosions during a fire event using a phi meter. Compared to other gas sensors, a phi meter can measure the global

Sub-Millisecond Time-Resolved Small-Angle Neutron Scattering Measurements at NIST

June 3, 2020
Author(s)
Charles J. Glinka, Markus NMN Bleuel, Peter NMN Tsai, Dominika Zakutna, Dirk Honecker, Dominique Dresen, Flore Mees, Sabrina Disch
Instrumentation for sub-millisecond time-resolved SANS measurements at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is described and applied to the reorientation dynamics of elongated hematite nanoparticles. Instrumentation for time-resolved

Assembly and annotation of an Ashkenazi human reference genome

June 2, 2020
Author(s)
Justin M. Zook, Justin M. Wagner, Nathanael D. Olson, Steven L. Salzberg, Alaina Shumate, Aleksey V. Zimin, Daniela Puiu, Mihaela Pertea, Marc Salit
Thousands of experiments and studies use the human reference genome as a resource each year. This single reference genome, GRCh38, is a mosaic created from a small number of individuals, representing a very small sample of the human population. There is a

A Tool to Model the Fate and Transport of Indoor Microbiological Aerosols (FaTIMA)

June 1, 2020
Author(s)
William S. Dols, Brian J. Polidoro, Dustin G. Poppendieck, Steven J. Emmerich
The web-based tool Fate and Transport of Indoor Microbiological Aerosols (FaTIMA) allows for the determination of the indoor fate of microbiological aerosols associated with ventilation, filtration, deposition and inactivation mechanisms. FaTIMA provides a

Design and Realization of a Sputter Deposition System for the in situ and in operando Use in Polarized Neutron Reflectometry Experiments: Novel Capabilities

June 1, 2020
Author(s)
Jingfan Ye, Alexander Book, Sina Mayr, Henrik Gabold, Fankai Meng, Helena Schafferer, Ryan F. Need, Dustin Gilbert, Thomas Saerbeck, Jochen Stahn, Peter Boni, Wolfgang Kreuzpaintner
Recently, the design and realization of a sputter-deposition system for in situ and in operando neutron reflectometry (PNR) was reported. The device allows magnetic thin films and heterostructures to be grown, while the sample remains aligned in the

Evolution of transmitted depolarization in diffusely scattering media

June 1, 2020
Author(s)
Thomas A. Germer
We performed Mueller matrix Monte Carlo simulations of the propagation of optical radiation in diffusely scattering media for collimated incidence and report the results as a function of thickness and the angle subtended by the detector. For sufficiently

Generating GHZ states with squeezing and post-selection

June 1, 2020
Author(s)
Byron Alexander, Hermann Uys, John Bollinger
Many quantum state preparation methods rely on a combination of dissipative quantum state initialization, followed by unitary evolution to a desired target state. Here we demonstrate the usefulness of quantum measurement as an additional tool for quantum

IFCC working group recommendations for correction of bias caused by non-commutability of a certified reference material used in the calibration hierarchy of an end-user measurement procedure

June 1, 2020
Author(s)
Johanna Camara, W. Greg Miller, Jeffrey R. Budd, Neil Greenberg, Weykamp Cas, Harald Althaus, Heinz Schimmel, Mauro Panteghini, Vincent Delatour, Ferruccio Ceriotti, Thomas Keller, Douglas Hawkins, Robert Rej, Finlay MacKenzie, Elina van der Hagen, Hubert W. Vesper
Establishing metrological traceability to a matrix-based certified reference material (CRM) that has been validated to be commutable among a group of measurement procedures (MPs) is central to producing equivalent results for a measurand in clinical
