Eric L. Shirley, John T. Vinson, Liang Li, Maria K. Chan, Joong S. Park, Eungje Lee, John W. Freeland, Zhenpeng Yao, Fernando Castro, Timothy T. Fister, Christopher M. Wolverton, Michael Thackeray
To exploit extra capacity beyond the traditionally postulated transition metal redox in Li-ion batteries, it is imperative to understand the exact role of oxygen in the charge compensation, i.e., what triggers the electron occupation change in oxygen and

R-152a/air and R-134a/oxygen constant volume spherical flame burning velocity measurements

March 25, 2019
Author(s)
Robert R. Burrell, Gregory T. Linteris, Donald R. Burgess Jr., Michael J. Hegetschweiler, Jeffrey A. Manion, Valeri I. Babushok
Many presently used refrigerants are non-flammable but are being phased out due to concerns about their strong global warming potential (GWP). Replacements with low GWP exist but tend to be flammable with a maximum burning velocity in air between 1 cm/s

The Kibble balance and the kilogram

March 25, 2019
Author(s)
Stephan Schlamminger, Darine El Haddad
Dr. Bryan Kibble invented the watt balance in 1975 to improve the realization of the unit for electrical current, the ampere. With the discovery of the Quantum Hall e ect in 1980 by Dr. Klaus von Klitzing and in conjunction with the previously predicted

Topological Bands for Ultracold Atoms

March 25, 2019
Author(s)
Ian B. Spielman, Nigel Cooper, Jean Dalibard
There have been significant recent advances in realizing bandstructures with geometrical and topological features in experiments on cold atomic gases. We provide an overview of these developments, beginning with a summary of the key concepts of geometry

Examining the Relationships Between Blubber Steroid Hormone and Persistent Organic Pollutant Measurements in Common Bottlenose Dolphins

March 24, 2019
Author(s)
Thomas M. Galligan, Brian C. Balmer, Lori Schwacke, Jennie L. Bolton, Brian M. Quigley, Patricia Rosel, Gina M. Ylitalo, Ashley Russell
In this study, we use remotely collected blubber samples from common bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) inhabiting the waters near a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Superfund site with high local DDx concentrations, to study the impacts of DDx

Soft MUD: Implementing Manufacturer Usage Descriptions on OpenFlow SDN Switches

March 24, 2019
Author(s)
Mudumbai Ranganathan, Douglas Montgomery, Omar Ilias El Mimouni
Manufacturer Usage Descriptions are generalized network Access Control Lists (ACL) that allow manufacturers to declare intended communication patterns for devices (Things). MUD-enabled Things are restricted to only communicate in the manner intended by the
