Rigidity of the magic pentagram game

November 2, 2017
Author(s)
Amir Kalev, Carl Miller
A game is rigid if a near-optimal score guarantees, under the sole assumption of the validity of quantum mechanics, that the players are using an approximately unique quantum strategy. As such, rigidity has a vital role in quantum cryptography as it

Synthesis and Transport Properties of Fe2SnSe4

November 2, 2017
Author(s)
Kaya Wei, Joshua Martin, George S. Nolas
Fe2SnSe4 was synthesized by elemental reaction and densified using hot pressing in order to investigate the transport properties. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pnma with the olivine-type crystal structure. Our report describes results and

The Costs and Losses of Wildfires

November 2, 2017
Author(s)
Douglas S. Thomas, David T. Butry, Stanley W. Gilbert, David H. Webb, Juan F. Fung
This report enumerates all possible costs of wildfire management and wildfire-related losses. It, further, compiles estimates or proposes methods for estimating the costs and losses identified. These estimates can be used for C+NVC modeling, and can also

A Design Methodology for Developing Resilient Cloud Services (RCS)

November 1, 2017
Author(s)
Abdella Battou, Salim Hariri
Cloud Computing is emerging as a new paradigm that aims at delivering computing as a utility. For the cloud computing paradigm to be fully adopted and effectively used, it is critical that the security mechanisms are robust and resilient to malicious

Challenges in measuring spherical geometry using terrestrial laser scanners

November 1, 2017
Author(s)
Balasubramanian Muralikrishnan, Prem K. Rachakonda, Katharine M. Shilling, Vincent D. Lee, Daniel S. Sawyer, Geraldine S. Cheok, Luc Cournoyer
Terrestrial laser scanners (TLS) measure 3D coordinates in a scene by recording the range, the azimuth angle, and elevation angle of discrete points on target surfaces. They are increasingly used in a variety of applications, including manufacturing and

Fast optimization algorithms and the cosmological constant

November 1, 2017
Author(s)
Stephen P. Jordan, Ning Bao, Brad Lackey, Raphael Bousso
Denef and Douglas have observed that in certain landscape models the problem of finding small values of the cosmological constant is a large instance of an NP-hard problem. The number of elementary operations (quantum gates) needed to solve this problem by

Localized fire tests on steel beams with different end restraints

November 1, 2017
Author(s)
Selvarajah Ramesh, Mina S. Seif, Lisa Choe
Two 6.2-m span I-shaped structural steel beams were tested under combined structural and open flame localized fire loads. Two different support conditions for the beam ends were considered: (i) simple support, and (ii) double-angles bolted to laterally

Microwave Evaluation of Electromigration Susceptibility in Advanced Interconnects

November 1, 2017
Author(s)
Yaw S. Obeng, Kin P. Cheung, Dmitry Veksler, Christopher E. Sunday
Traditional metrology has been unable to adequately address the needs of emerging integrated circuits (ICs) at the nano scale; thus, new metrology and techniques are needed. For example, the reliability challenges in fabrication need to be well understood

Radiative rates of transitions from the 2s2p3 5Sdeg2 state in neutral carbon

November 1, 2017
Author(s)
Alexander Kramida, Haris Kunari
The measured radiative rates of the 2s22p2 3P1,2 – 2s2p3 5S°2 intercombination transitions in neutral carbon reported in the literature are critically evaluated in comparison with theoretical results. The experimental and theoretical values are compared

STRSeq: A catalog of sequence diversity at human identification Short Tandem Repeat loci

November 1, 2017
Author(s)
Katherine Gettings, Lisa Borsuk, D Ballard, Martin Bodner, Bruce Budowle, Laurence Devesse, Jonathan King, W. Parson, Christopher Phillips, Peter Vallone
The STR Sequencing Project (STRSeq) was initiated to facilitate the description of sequence- based alleles at the Short Tandem Repeat (STR) loci targeted in human identification assays. This international collaborative effort, which has been endorsed by
