Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Dispersion 3. Reducing Uncertainty in Estimating Source Strength and Location through Plume Inversion Models

September 30, 2015
Author(s)
Kuldeep R. Prasad, Adam L. Pintar, Heming Hu, Israel Lopez Coto, Dennis T. Ngo, James R. Whetstone
Recent development of accurate instruments for measuring greenhouse gas concentrations and the ability to mount them in ground based vehicles has provided an opportunity to make temporally and spatially resolved measurements in the vicinity of suspected

On the Behavior of PRES Using Incomplete Judgment Sets

September 30, 2015
Author(s)
Ellen M. Voorhees
PRES, the Patent Retrieval Evaluation Score, is a family of retrieval system evaluation measures that combines recall and user effort to better reflect the quality of a retrieval run with respect to recall-oriented search tasks. Previous analysis of the

Standardizing 25-Hydroxyvitamin D values from the Canadian Health Measures Survey

Kurtis Sarafin, Ramon Durazo-Arvizu, Lu Tian, Karen W. Phinney, Susan Tai, Johanna Camara, Hubert W. Vesper, Joyce M. Merkel, Evan Green, Christopher T. Sempos, Stephen P. Brooks
Background: The Canadian Health Measures survey (CHMS) is an ongoing cross sectional national survey that includes a measure of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) by Diasorin LIAISON immunoassay. The survey repeats approximately every two years with a new

Thermodynamic Properties of 1,1,1,2,2,4,5,5,5-nonafluoro-4-(trifluoromethyl)-3-pentanone: Vapor Pressure, (p, ?, T) Behavior, and Speed of Sound Measurements, and Equation of State

We report comprehensive thermodynamic property measurements of 1,1,1,2,2,4,5,5,5-nonafluoro-4-(trifluoromethyl)-3-pentanone. The p–ρ–T behavior was measured from T = (225 to 470) K with pressures up to 36 MPa using a two-sinker densimeter. These

240 Hz linewidth Brillouin laser from a microrod whispering gallery mode resonator

September 29, 2015
Author(s)
William Loh, Aurelien C. Coillet, Frederick N. Baynes, Scott B. Papp, Scott A. Diddams, Joe Becker
We demonstrate an ultra-low noise laser that oscillates based on the stimulated Brillouin scattering nonlinearity in an optical microresonator. Our Brillouin laser employs a microrod resonator whose larger mode volume compared to conventional resonators

Impact of Electricity Tariff Parameters on Net Zero Home Cost of Energy

September 29, 2015

Real-Time Centralized Spectrum Monitoring: Feasibility, Architecture, and Latency

September 29, 2015
Author(s)
Michael R. Souryal, Mudumbai Ranganathan, John Mink, Naceur A. El Ouni
This paper describes the implementation and evaluation of a real-time, centralized spectrum monitoring and alert system. Such a system can be used to support emerging spectrum sharing solutions that use a centralized controller to mediate tiered access to
