Structural Investigations of Membrane-Associated Proteins by Neutron Reflectometry

July 1, 2019
Author(s)
Rebecca Eells, David Hoogerheide, Paul A. Kienzle, Mathias Loesche, Charles Majkrzak, Frank Heinrich
Neutron reflectometry is a powerful technique for probing the structure of lipid bilayer membranes and membrane-associated proteins. Measurements of the specular neutron reflectivity as a function of momentum transfer can be performed in aqueous

Wide-Angle Polarization Analysis on the Multi-Axis Crystal Spectrometer for the Study of Collective and Single Particle Dynamics of Methanol at its Prepeak

July 1, 2019
Author(s)
Wangchun Chen, Shannon M. Watson, Yiming Qiu, Jose Rodriguez Rivera, Antonio Faraone
Neutron polarization analysis capability with a large scattering angle and momentum transfer coverage has not been widely implemented for the separation of coherent and incoherent quasi-elastic neutron scattering (QENS) spectra. A feasibility test for soft

IEEE RAS Standards Strategy Update

June 30, 2019
Author(s)
Craig I. Schlenoff
On September 30, 2018, the Industrial Activities Board (IAB) of the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society (RAS) organized a Standards Strategy Meeting in conjunction with the Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS) Conference in Madrid, Spain. The goal of the

Omnidirectional Channel Sounder with Phased-Array Antennas for 5G Mobile Communications

June 30, 2019
Author(s)
Derek Caudill, Peter B. Papazian, Camillo Gentile, Jack Chuang, Nada T. Golmie
We describe a 60-GHz channel sounder with phased-array antennas and 1-GHz bandwidth. It estimates the angle of departure (AoD)/angle of arrival (AoA) of channel multipath components (MPCs) by sweeping the antenna space of the transmitter/receiver through 5

Reference data set and variability study for human skin reflectance

June 30, 2019
Author(s)
P. Yvonne Barnes, David W. Allen, Benjamin K. Tsai
The optical properties of human skin have been of interest to researchers for some time. Their interest is based on a need to know for a variety of different applications, which range from spectral imaging for automated or stand-off detection, non-invasive

SIS Contagion Avoidance on a Network Growing by Preferential Attachment

June 30, 2019
Author(s)
Brian D. Cloteaux, Vladimir V. Marbukh
The economic and convenience benefits of interconnectivity drive the current explosive growth in networked systems. However, as recent catastrophic contagious failures in numerous large-scale networked infrastructures have demonstrated, interconnectivity

A Comparison of Ion Channel Current Blockades Caused by Individual Poly(ethylene glycol) Molecules and Polyoxometalate Nanoclusters

June 28, 2019
Author(s)
Haiyan Wang, John J. Kasianowicz, Joseph W. Robertson, Dianne L. Poster, Jessica Ettedgui
Proteinaceous nanometer-scale pores have been used to detect and physically characterize many different types of molecules at the single molecule limit. The method is based on the ability to measure the transient reduction in the ionic channel conductance

Characterization of Colloidal Nanocrystal Surface Structure using Small Angle Neutron Scattering and Efficient Bayesian Parameter Estimation

June 28, 2019
Author(s)
Samuel W. Winslow, Wenbi Shcherbakov-Wu, Yun Liu, William A. Tisdale, James W. Swan
Complete structural characterization of colloidal nanocrystals is challenging due to rapid variation in the electronic, vibrational, and elemental properties across the nanocrystal surface. while electron microscopy and X-ray scattering techniques can

High Resolution Physical Characterization of Single Metallic Nanoparticles

June 28, 2019
Author(s)
Jessica Ettedgui, Jacob Forstater, Joseph W. Robertson, John J. Kasianowicz
Discrete metal oxygen clusters, polyoxometalates (POMs), can be detected at the single molecule limit, using a biological nanopore-based electronic platform. The method provides a complementary approach to traditional analytical chemistry tools utilized in

Measurement of the Antineutrino Spectrum from 235U Fission at HFIR with PROSPECT

June 28, 2019
Author(s)
Hans Pieter Mumm, Denis E. Bergeron, Mark Tyra, Svetlana Nour, Jerome LaRosa
This Letter reports the first measurement of the 235U e energy spectrum by PROSPECT, the Precision Reactor Oscillation and Spectrum experiment, operating 7.9 m from the 85MWth highly-enriched uranium (HEU) High Flux Isotope Reactor. With a surface-based

Non Nulling Measurements of Flue Gas Flows in a Coal-Fired Power Plant Stack

June 28, 2019
Author(s)
Aaron N. Johnson, Iosif I. Shinder, Bernard J. Filla, Joey T. Boyd, Rodney A. Bryant, Michael R. Moldover
Exhaust flows from coal-fired stacks are determined by measuring the flue gas velocity at prescribed points in the stack cross section. During the last 30+ years these velocity measurements have been made predominantly using S-type pitot probes. These

Biodegradable biliverdin nanoparticles for efficient photoacoustic imaging

June 27, 2019
Author(s)
Parinaz Fathi, Knox J. Hailay, Dinabandhu Sar, Indu Tripathi, Ostadhossein Fatemeh, Misra K. Santosh, Mandy Esch, Jefferson Chan, Dipanjan Pan
Here we report the synthesis of nanoparticles composed of Biliverdin cross-linked with a bifunctional amine functionalized linker. The nanoparticles display high absorbance at 365 nm and 680 nm, fluorescence when excited at 365 nm, and photoacoustic
