Throughput Analysis between Unicast and MBSFN from Link Level to System Level

November 7, 2019
Author(s)
Chunmei Liu, Chen Shen, Jack Chuang, Richard A. Rouil, Hyeong-Ah Choi
Public safety incidents typically involve significant amount of group traffic. This paper initializes our study in exploring the potential spectrum savings and improvement in first responders experience by using Multicast Broadcast Single Frequency Network

Anomaly in the Virial Expansion of IAPWS-95 at Low Temperatures

November 6, 2019
Author(s)
Allan H. Harvey
In the standard reference equation of state for the thermodynamic properties of water, known as IAPWS-95, the fourth virial coefficient D(T) becomes abnormally large in magnitude at temperatures below approximately 300 K. At conditions where a virial

Options for Low-GWP Refrigerants

November 6, 2019
Author(s)
Mark O. McLinden, Andrei F. Kazakov, J S. Brown, Riccardo Brignoli, Ian H. Bell, Piotr A. Domanski
We summarize a systematic examination of possible low-GWP (global warming potential) replacements for the HFC (hydrofluorocarbon) refrigerants currently used in small air-conditioning systems. The methodology identified the optimal thermodynamic parameters

Contactless Resonant Cavity Dielectric Spectroscopic Studies of Recycled Office Papers

November 5, 2019
Author(s)
Mary Kombolias, Jan Obrzut, Michael T. Postek, Dianne L. Poster, Yaw S. Obeng
Current product composition and quality test methods for the paper and pulp industry are rooted in wet-bench chemistry techniques which are highly subjective. These techniques have rather limited utility and cannot be used to distinguish between virgin and

Flow Resistance & Structures in Viscoelastic Channel Flows at Low Re

November 5, 2019
Author(s)
Boyang Qin, Paul Salipante, Steven Hudson, Paulo E. Arratia
The flow of viscoelastic fluids in channels and pipes remain poorly understood, particularly at low Reynolds numbers. Here, we investigate the flow of polymeric solutions in straight channels using pressure measurements and particle tracking. The law of

Soft X-ray spectroscopy with transition-edge sensors at Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource beamline 10-1

November 5, 2019
Author(s)
Sang-Jun Lee, Charles Titus, Roberto A. Mori, Michael Baker, Douglas Bennett, Hsiao-Mei Cho, W.Bertrand (Randy) Doriese, Joseph Fowler, Kelly J. Gaffney, Allesandro Gallo, Johnathon Gard, Gene C. Hilton, Hoyoung Jang, Young I. Joe, Christopher Kenney, Jason Knight, Thomas Kroll, Jun-Sik Lee, Dale Li, Donhui Lu, Ronald Marks, Michael Minitti, Kelsey Morgan, Ogasawara Hirohito, Galen O'Neil, Carl D. Reintsema, Dan Schmidt, Dimosthenis Sokaras, Joel Ullom, Tsu-Chien Weng, Christopher Williams, Betty A. Young, Daniel Swetz, Kent D. Irwin, Dennis Nordlund
We present results obtained with a new soft X-ray spectrometer based on transition-edge sensors (TESs) composed of Mo/Cu bilayers coupled to bismuth absorbers. This spectrometer simultaneously provides excellent energy resolution, high detection efficiency

Elusive Valence Transition in Mixed-Valence Sesquioxide Cs 4 O 6

November 4, 2019
Author(s)
Ross H. Colman, H. Esma Okur, Winfried Kockelmann, Craig Brown, Annette Sans, Claudia Felser, Martin Jansen, Kosmas Prassides
Cs 4O 6 is a mixed valence molecular oxide with a cubic structure, comprising valency-delocalized O 2 4/3- units and with properties highly sensitive to cooling protocols. Here we use neutron powder diffraction to authenticate that, while upon deep

Human Factors in Smart Home Technologies Workshop Summary

November 4, 2019
Author(s)
Julie Haney, Susanne M. Furman
On September 24, 2019, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) hosted a one- day workshop entitled "Human Factors in Smart Home Technologies." The workshop addressed human considerations for smart home devices, including usability, user

Realization of Interlayer Ferromagnetic Interaction in MnSb 2 Te 4 toward the Magnetic Weyl Semimetal State

November 4, 2019
Author(s)
Taito Murakami, Yusuke Nambu, Takashi Koretsune, Gu Xiangyu, Takafumi Yamamoto, Craig Brown, Hiroshi Kageyama
Magnetism in the newly synthesized topological magnet Sb 2MnTe 4 is examined. Magnetic susceptibility, specific heat, and neutron diffraction measurements reveal a ferrimagnetic transition below 25 K, in contradiction to previous theoretical calculations

Recognition of DNA adducts by edited and unedited forms of DNA glycosylase NEIL1

November 2, 2019
Author(s)
Irina G. Minko, Vladimir Vartanian, Naoto Tozaki, Erdem Coskun, Sanem Hosbas Coskun, Pawel Jaruga, J Yeo, M.P. Stone, M Egli, Miral M. Dizdar, Amanda K. McCullough, R S. Lloyd
Pre-mRNA encoding human NEIL1 undergoes editing by adenosine deaminase ADAR1 that converts a single adenosine to inosine, and this conversion results in an amino acid change of lysine 242 to arginine. Previous investigations of the catalytic efficiencies

Active Learning Yields Better Training Data for Scientific Named Entity Recognition

November 1, 2019
Author(s)
Roselyne B. Tchoua, Aswathy Ajith, Zhi Hong, Logan T. Ward, Kyle Chard, Debra Audus, Shrayesh N. Patel, Juan J. de Pablo
Despite significant progress in natural language processing, machine learning models require substantial expert-annotated training data to perform well in tasks such as named entity recognition (NER) and entity relations extraction. Furthermore, NER is
