COMPUTATIONAL ENVIRONMENT FOR MODELING AND ENHANCING COMMUNITY RESILIENCE: INTRODUCING THE CENTER FOR RISK-BASED COMMUNITY RESILIENCE PLANNING

December 10, 2015
Author(s)
John W. van de Lindt, Bruce Ellingwood, Therese P. McAllister, Gardoni Paolo, Daniel Cox, Harvey Cutler, Walter G. Peacock
The resilience of a community is defined as its ability to prepare for, withstand, recover from and adapt to the effects of natural or human-caused disasters, and depends on the performance of the built environment and on supporting social, economic and

Electronic Health Record Design Considerations in Responding to Incidences of Highly Infectious Diseases: Clinical Workflows and Exception Handling

December 10, 2015
Author(s)
Svetlana Z. Lowry, Mala Ramaiah, Emily S. Patterson, Latkany A. Paul, Debora Simmons, David Brick, Michael C. Gibbons
Adoption of Electronic Health Record systems in all care settings has become widespread. EHRs can support and revolutionize the way that public health is protected in the event of an outbreak of a highly infectious disease. In particular, EHRs can support

Gapped and Gapless Short-Range-Ordered Magnetic States with (1/2,1/2,1/2) Wave Vectors in the Pyrochlore Magnet Tb 2+x Ti 2-X O 7+d

December 10, 2015
Author(s)
E. Kermarrec, D. D. Maharaj, J. Gaudet, K. Fritsch, D. Pomaranski, J. B. Kycia, Yiming Qiu, John R. Copley, M. M. P. Couchman, A. O. R. Morningstar, H. A. Dabkowska, B. D. Gaulin
Recent low temperature heat capacity (CP ) measurements on polycrystalline samples of the py- rochlore antiferromagnet Tb 2+xTi 2¿xO 7+δ have shown a strong sensitivity to the precise Tb con- centration x, with a large anomaly exhibited for x0.005 at TC0.5

Measuring and Representing the Performance of Manufacturing Assembly Robots

December 10, 2015
Author(s)
Michael O. Shneier, Elena R. Messina, Craig I. Schlenoff, Frederick M. Proctor, Thomas Kramer, Joseph Falco
With the growth of robotic technology, there is a need for performance measures to characterize and compare robots and to help determine which features are most suited to a particular application. Robot systems are complex and involve a wide range of

Structural Changes and Aggregation Mechanisms for Anti-Streptavidin IgG1 at Elevated Concentration

December 10, 2015
Author(s)
Gregory V. Barnett, Wei Qi, Samiul Amin, E. Neil Lewis, Vladimir I. Razinkov, Bruce A. Kerwin, Yun Liu, Christopher J. Roberts
Non-native protein aggregation may occur during manufacturing and storage of protein therapeutics, and this may decrease drug efficacy or jeopardize patient safety. From a regulatory perspective, changes in higher-order structure due to aggregation are of

Trusted Geolocation in the Cloud: Proof of Concept Implementation

December 10, 2015
Author(s)
Michael Bartock, Murugiah Souppaya, Raghuram Yeluri, Uttam Shetty, James Greene, Steve Orrin, Hemma Prafullchandra, John McLeese, Jason Mills, Daniel Carayiannis, Tarik Williams, Karen Scarfone
This publication explains selected security challenges involving Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud computing technologies and geolocation. It then describes a proof of concept implementation that was designed to address those challenges. The

High-Resolution Imaging and Spectroscopy at High Pressure: A Novel Liquid Cell for the Transmission Electron Microscope

December 9, 2015
Author(s)
Mihaela M. Tanase, Jonathan P. Winterstein, Renu Sharma, Vladimir A. Aksyuk, Glenn E. Holland, James A. Liddle
We demonstrate quantitative core-loss electron energy-loss spectroscopy of iron oxide nanoparticles and imaging resolution of Ag nanoparticles in liquid down to 0.24 nm, in both transmission and scanning-transmission modes, in a novel, monolithic liquid

Magnetic Fluctuations Driven Insulator-to-Metal Transition in Ca(Ir 1-x Ru x )O 3

December 9, 2015
Author(s)
J. Gunasekera, Leland Harriger, A. Dahal, T. Heitmann, G. Vignale, D. K. Singh
Magnetic fluctuations in transition metal oxides are a subject of intensive research because of the key role they are expected to play in the transition from the Mott insulator to the unconventional metallic phase of these materials, and also as drivers of

Phase Separation Enhanced Magneto-Electric Coupling in La 0.7 Ca 0.3 MnO 3 /BaTiO 3 Ultra-thin Films

December 9, 2015
Author(s)
A. Alberca, C. Munuera, Brian Kirby, N. M. Nemes, A. M. Perez-Munoz, J. Tornos, F. J. Mompean, C. Leon, J. Santamaria, M. Garcia-Hernandez
We study the origin of the magnetoelectric coupling in manganite films on ferroelectric substrates. We find large magnetoelectric coupling in La 0.7Ca 0.3MnO 3/BaTiO 3 ultra-thin films in experiments based on the converse magnetoelectric effect. The

Quantifying "Softness" of Organic Coatings on Gold Nanoparticles using Correlated Small-Angle X-Ray and Neutron Scattering

December 9, 2015
Author(s)
Benjamin T. Diroll, Kathleen Weigandt, Davit Jishkariani, Matteo Cargnello, Ryan J. Murphy, Lawrence A. Hough, Christopher B. Murray, Bertrand Donnio
Small angle X-ray and neutron scattering provide powerful tools to selectively characterize the inorganic and organic components of hybrid nanomaterials. Using hydrophobic gold nanoparticles coated with several commercial and dendritic thiols, the size of

Urinary iodine and stable isotope analysis to examine habitat influences on thyroid hormones among coastal dwelling American alligators

December 9, 2015
Author(s)
Ashley S. Boggs-Russell, Heather J. Hamlin, James C. Nifong, Brittany L. Kassim, Russell H. Lowers, Thomas M. Galligan, Stephen E. Long, Louis J. Guillette Jr.
The American alligator, a freshwater species, is known to forage in marine environments which could lead to increased dietary uptake of iodine, a nutrient necessary for the production of thyroid hormones. To explore the influence of dietary iodine on

Developments in time-division multiplexing of X-ray transition-edge sensors.

December 8, 2015
Author(s)
William B. Doriese, Kelsey M. Morgan, Douglas A. Bennett, Edward V. Denison, Colin P. Fitzgerald, Joseph W. Fowler, Johnathon D. Gard, James P. Hays-Wehle, Gene C. Hilton, Kent D. Irwin, Young Il Joe, John A. Mates, Galen C. O'Neil, Carl D. Reintsema, Nigel O. Robbins, Daniel R. Schmidt, Daniel S. Swetz, Hideyuki Tatsuno, Joel N. Ullom, Leila R. Vale
Time-division multiplexing (TDM) is a mature scheme for the readout of transition-edge sensors. Variants of TDM, which is based on superconducting-quantum-interference-device (SQUID) current amplifiers, have to date been field-deployed in several
