The effect of Acetobacter sp. and a sulfate-reducing bacterial consortium from ethanol fuel environments on fatigue crack propagation in pipeline and storage tank steels

February 1, 2014
Author(s)
Jeffrey W. Sowards, Charles H. Williamson, Timothy S. Weeks, Joseph D. McColskey, John R. Spear
This study evaluated the effects of microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) on fatigue crack growth of candidate materials useful in expanding bioethanol usage including: a storage tank steel (ASTM A36) and two pipeline steels (API 5L X52 and X70)

The Hafnium-Platinum Phase Diagram

February 1, 2014
Author(s)
Judith K. Stalick, Richard M. Waterstrat
Phase relationships were determined in the Hf-Pt system at temperatures up to 1690°C using both metallographic and neutron Rietveld refinement techniques. An unusual displacive transformation is observed 200 °C in the rhombohedral compound Hf 3Pt 4

A multicomponent phase-field model for extremely large partition coefficients

January 31, 2014
Author(s)
Michael J. Welland, Dieter Wolf, Jonathan E. Guyer
We develop a multi-component phase-field model specially formulated to robustly simulate concentration variations from molar to atomic magnitudes across an interface, i.e.: partition coefficients in excess of 10 (superscript 10plus23) such as may be the

Bounds on Elementary Symmetric Functions

January 31, 2014
Author(s)
Andrew L. Rukhin
Tight bounds on an elementary symmetric function are established for given values of these polynomials of lower order.

Effect of Capping Material on Interfacial Ferromagnetism in FeRh Thin Films

January 31, 2014
Author(s)
C. Baldasseroni, G. K. Palsson, C. Bordel, S. Valencia, A. A. Unal, F. Kronast, S. Nemsak, C. S. Fadley, Julie Borchers, Brian B. Maranville, F. Hellman
The role of the capping material in stabilizing a thin ferromagnetic layer at the interface between an FeRh film and cap in the nominally antiferromagnetic phase at room temperature was studied by x-ray magnetic circular dichroism in photoemission electron

Estimation of the Limit of Detection Using Information Theory Measures

January 31, 2014
Author(s)
Alexander (. Vergara Tinoco, Fonollosa Jordi, Huerta Ramon, Santiago Marco
Definitions of the Limit of Detection (LoD) based on the probability of false positive and/or false negative errors have been proposed over the past years. Although such definitions are straightforward and valid for any kind of analytical system, the

Analysis for Dynamic Metrology

January 30, 2014
Author(s)
Andrew M. Dienstfrey, Paul D. Hale
Diverse measurement contexts require estimates of time varying quantities. Ideally the measurement device responds to signal variations significantly more rapidly than the modulation of the signal itself. If so, then well-developed techniques may be used

Measurement Science R&D Roadmap for Windstorm and Coastal Inundation Impact Reduction

January 30, 2014
Author(s)
William Coulbourne, Jon Galsworthy, Horia Hangan, Christopher Jones, Chris Letchford, Thomas Smith
Windstorms, storm surge, and other coastal inundation events caused 4,045 fatalities and property losses of $250 billion (in 2012 dollars) in the United States during the period of 1996-2012. More people are moving toward the nation's coastlines and thus

Strong coupling of single emitters interacting with phononic infrared antennae

January 30, 2014
Author(s)
Ruben Esteban, Javier Aizpurua, Garnett W. Bryant
A single emitter can couple with an electromagnetic mode excited in dielectric cavities or metallic particles. In a similar manner, it can couple with a phononic mode supported by a nearby infrared antenna. We consider an emitter with a sufficiently large

The neural representation of faces and bodies in motion and at rest

January 29, 2014
Author(s)
P J. Phillips, Alice O'Toole, Vaidehi Natu, Xiaobo An, Rice Allyson, James Ryland
The neural organization of person processing relies on brain regions functionally selective for faces or bodies, with a subset of these regions preferring moving stimuli. Although the response properties of the individual areas are well established, less

Quantum teleportation from a telecom-wavelength photon to a solid-state quantum memory

January 28, 2014
Author(s)
Felix Bussieres, Christoph Clausen, Alexey Tiranov, Boris Korzh, Varun Verma, Sae Woo Nam, Francesco Marsili, Alban Ferrier, Harald Hermann, Christine Silberhorn, Wolfgang Sohler, Mikael Afzelius, Nicolas Gisin
In quantum teleportation [1], the state of a single quantum system is disembodied into classical information and purely quantum correlations, to be later reconstructed onto a second system that has never directly interacted with the first one. This

Comment on Detection of Microwave Spin Pumping Using the Inverse Spin Hall Effect

January 27, 2014
Author(s)
Thomas J. Silva, Mathias A. Weiler, Hans T. Nembach, Justin M. Shaw
In a recent Letter, Hahn et al. reported on the detection of an ac voltage in a yttrium iron garnet (YIG)/platinum (Pt) bilayer under the condition of parametrically excited resonance. The authors observe an ac voltage at the frequency of the magnetization

Optimal Spread in Network Consensus Models

January 27, 2014
Author(s)
Fern Y. Hunt
Suppose we seek a set of nodes in a network that will enable the fastest spread of information in a decentralized communication environment. If communication resources are limited there are constraints on the number of nodes that can be selected. In this

Phase-slip lines as a resistance mechanism in transition-edge sensors

January 27, 2014
Author(s)
Douglas A. Bennett, Daniel R. Schmidt, Daniel S. Swetz, Joel N. Ullom
The fundamental mechanism of resistance in voltage-biased superconducting films is poorly understood despite its importance as the basis of transition-edge sensors (TESs). TESs are utilized in state-of- the-art microbolometers and microcalorimeters

Si3N4 optomechanical crystals in the resolved-sideband regime

January 27, 2014
Author(s)
Marcelo I. Davanco, Serkan Ates, Yuxiang Liu, Kartik A. Srinivasan
We demonstrate sideband-resolved Si3N4 optomechanical crystals supporting 105 quality factor optical modes at 980 nm, coupled to approximately 4 GHz frequency mechanical modes with quality factors of approximately 3000. Optomechanical electromagnetically

Optical phase-noise dynamics of Titanium:sapphire optical frequency combs

January 24, 2014
Author(s)
Qudsia Quraishi, Scott A. Diddams, Leo W. Hollberg
Stabilized optical frequency combs (OFC) can have remarkable levels of coherence across their broad spectral bandwidth. We study the scaling of the optical noise across hundreds of nanometers of optical spectra. We measure the residual phase noise between

IREX IV: Part 2 Compression Profiles for Iris Image Compression

January 23, 2014
Author(s)
George Quinn, Patrick Grother, Mei Ngan, Nick Rymer
The IREX IV evaluation builds upon IREX III as a performance test of one-to-many iris recognition. This report is the second part of the IREX IV evaluation, which specifically, evaluates the ability of automated iris recognition algorithms to match heavily
