Subnanometer localization accuracy in widefield optical microscopy

July 11, 2018
Author(s)
Craig R. Copeland, Jon C. Geist, Craig D. McGray, Vladimir A. Aksyuk, James A. Liddle, Bojan R. Ilic, Samuel M. Stavis
The common assumption that precision is the limit of accuracy in localization microscopy and the typical absence of comprehensive calibration of optical microscopes lead to a widespread issue - overconfidence in measurement results with nanoscale

System Lifecycle Handler -- Spinning a Digital Thread for Manufacturing

July 11, 2018
Author(s)
Manas Bajaj, Thomas D. Hedberg Jr.
Transforming the manufacturing economy from paper-based information flows to a seamless digital thread across geographically distributed supply chains has the potential to reduce cycle time by 75% and save manufacturers $30 billion annually. The "Digital

Chronic Debilitation in Stranded Loggerhead Sea Turtles (Caretta caretta) in the Southeastern United States: Morphometrics and Clinicopathological Findings

Nicole Stacy, Jennifer Lynch, Michael D. Arendt, Larisa Avens, Joanne Braun McNeill, Carolyn Cray, Russell D. Day, Craig A. Harms, A. M. Lee, Margie Peden-Adams, Kelly Thorvalson, Al L. Segars, Terry Norton
Chronically debilitated loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) (DT) are characterized by emaciation, lethargy, and heavy barnacle coverage. We examined and sampled 43 DTs from North Carolina to Florida for a broad suite of health variables using

Model-Based Approach Towards Integrating Manufacturing Design and Analysis

July 10, 2018
Author(s)
Anantha Narayanan Narayanan, Yung-Tsun T. Lee
As internet technologies and cloud-based services evolve, a new market structure is emerging across various industries, and particularly in the data-driven-analytics-services industry. This could have a great impact in the smart manufacturing sector, where

Modeling and Mitigating the Insider Threat of Remote Administrators in Clouds

July 10, 2018
Author(s)
Nawaf Alhebaishi, Lingyu Wang, Sushil Jajodia, Anoop Singhal
As today's cloud providers strive to attract customers with better services and less downtime in a highly competitive market, they increasingly rely on remote administrators including those from third party providers for fulfilling regular maintenance

NIST Measurement Services: Photometric Calibrations

July 10, 2018
Author(s)
Carl C. Miller, Maria E. Nadal, Benjamin K. Tsai, Yuqin Zong
The National Institute of Standards and Technology provides calibration services for submitted artifacts for luminous intensity, illuminance, color temperature, total luminous flux, luminous exposure and luminance. Additionally, the National Institute of

Polyelectrolyte association and solvation

July 10, 2018
Author(s)
Alexandros Chremos, Jack F. Douglas
There has been significant interest in the tendency of highly charged particles having the same charge to form dynamic clusters in solution, but an accepted theoretical framework that can account for this ubiquitous phenomenon has been slow to develop. The

Programmable assembly of three-dimensional binary superlattices from multi-flavored DNA- functionalized particles

July 10, 2018
Author(s)
Evan Pretti, Hasan Zerze, Minseok Song, Yajun Ding, Nathan Mahynski, Harold Hatch, Vincent K. Shen, Jeetain Mittal
Programmable self-assembly of nano- or micron-sized colloidal particles can be achieved by grafting single- stranded DNA sequences onto the surfaces of colloids. However, this assembly is traditionally premised on the pairwise interaction between a single

Shape Analysis, Lebesgue Integration and Absolute Continuity Connections

July 10, 2018
Author(s)
Javier Bernal
As shape analysis of the form presented in Srivastava and Klassen’s textbook “Functional and Shape Data Analysis” is intricately related to Lebesgue integration and absolute continuity, it is advantageous to have a good grasp of the latter two notions

The Nature of Spin Excitations in the One-Third Magnetization Plateau Phase of Ba 3 CoSb 2 O 9
