Comparison of Registration Methods for Mobile Manipulators

September 15, 2016
Author(s)
Roger V. Bostelman, Roger Eastman, Tsai H. Hong, Omar Aboul-Enein, Steven A. Legowik, Sebti Foufou
Mobile manipulators can be effective, efficient and flexible for automation on the factory floor but will need safety and performance standards for wide adoption. This paper looks at a specific area of performance standards [1] for docking and workpiece

Efficient assembly of HIV-1 at the plasma membrane (PM) of the T-cell specifically requires PI(4,5)P 2. It was previously shown that a highly basic region (HBR) of the matric protein (MA) on the Gag precursor polyprotein Pr55^gag^ is required membrane

NIST Programs to Advance Accurate, Internationally-Recognized Stack Emissions Measurements

Aaron Johnson, Iosif Isaakovich Shinder, Rodney A. Bryant, JohnPaul R. Abbott, Keith A. Gillis, Joey Boyd, James Filla, Michael R. Moldover
Accurate flow measurements are essential to quantify the amount of greenhouse gases (GHGs) and other pollutants emitted from power plant stacks. Although protocols have been developed, the uncertainty of stack flow measurements has not been documented. 

Thermodynamics of Cottrell atmospheres tested by atomistic simulations

September 15, 2016
Author(s)
Yuri Mishin, John W. Cahn
Solute atoms can segregate to elastically deformed lattice regions around a dislocation and form an equilibrium distribution called the Cottrell atmosphere. We compare two approaches to describe Cottrell atmospheres. In the Eshelby theory, the solid

A pseudo-3D model to investigate heat and water transport in large area PEM fuel cells - Part 2: Application on an automotive driving cycle

Daniel S. Hussey, J-P Poirot-Crouvezier, M. Chandesris, S. Rosini, David L. Jacobson, Jacob M. LaManna, A. Morin, Y. Bultel
In this work, the pseudo-3D multiphysics model introduced in Part 1 of this two-part series of papers is used to investigate heat and water transport in a proton exchange membrane fuel cell designed for an automotive application. The main advantage of the

Characterizing Indoor Air Quality Performance Using a Graphical Approach

September 14, 2016
Author(s)
Kevin Y. Teichman, Andrew Persily, Steven Emmerich
In this paper, we describe and demonstrate an approach to illustrate the performance of buildings with respect to indoor air quality (IAQ). In the absence of an adequate or agreed-upon IAQ metric(s), we describe a graphical approach to presenting IAQ

Editorial: Special Issue on Industrial Robot Agility

September 14, 2016
Author(s)
Craig I. Schlenoff, Stephen B. Balakirsky, Murad Kurwa
The robotic systems of tomorrow need to be capable, flexible, and agile. These systems need to perform their duties at least as well as human counterparts, be quickly re-tasked to other operations, and cope with a wide variety of unexpected environmental

Grover search and the no-signaling principle

September 14, 2016
Author(s)
Ning Bao, Bouland Adam, Stephen P. Jordan
From an information processing point of view, two of the key properties of quantum physics are the no-signaling principle and the Grover search lower bound. That is, despite admitting stronger-than-classical correlations, quantum mechanics does not imply

Interfacial Symmetry Control of Emergent Ferromagnetism at the Nanoscale

September 14, 2016
Author(s)
Alexander J. Grutter, A. Vailionis, Julie A. Borchers, Brian J. Kirby, C. L. Flint, C. He, E. Arenholz, Y. Suzuki
We demonstrate tunable switching between ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic order at the CaRuO 3/CaMnO 3 interface that originates from symmetry differences in the tilt and rotation of the oxygen octahedra across the boundary. Interfaces which are

September 14, 2016
Author(s)
Cedric J. Powell, Aleksander Jablonski, Francesc Salvat, Angela Y. Lee
Version 4.0 of this database (SRD 64) provides values of differential elastic-scattering cross sections, total elastic-scattering cross sections, phase shifts, and transport cross sections for elements with atomic numbers from 1 to 96 and for electron

Polymorphism in the 1:1 Charge-Transfer Complex DBTTF-TCNQ and Its Effects on Optical and Electronic Properties
