Electrodeposition of Ternary Pt_(100-x-y)Co_(x)Ni_(y) Alloys

November 7, 2013
Author(s)
Carlos M. Hangarter, Yihua Y. Liu, D. Pagonis, Ugo Bertocci, Thomas P. Moffat
Electrodeposition of ternary Pt_(100-x-y)Co_(x)Ni_(y) alloy films and the respective Pt binary alloys were examined and compared to the characteristics of the constituent elements. The potential dependence of alloy composition, structure and deposition

Fault Localization Based on Failure-Inducing Combinations

November 7, 2013
Author(s)
Raghu N. Kacker
Combinatorial testing has been shown to be a very effective testing strategy. After a failure is detected, the next task is to identify the actual fault that causes the failure. In this paper, we present an approach to fault localization that leverages the

Microsensor Analyses for Trace Targets over Extended Times in a Simulated Martian Environment

Author(s)
Kurt D. Benkstein, Phillip H. Rogers, Christopher B. Montgomery, Stephen Semancik, C. Jin, Baranidharan Raman
We have studied the performance of a chemical microsensor array in a simulated Martian environment, which involved a carbon dioxide-rich background with low oxygen content (0.15 %) at low pressure and temperature to mimic the conditions at the Martian

Electron Energy Loss Function of Silicene and Germanene Multilayers on Silver

November 4, 2013
Author(s)
Anna L. Rast, Vinod K. Tewary
We calculate electron energy loss spectra (EELS) for composite plasmonic structures based on silicene and germanene. A continued-fraction expression for the effective dielectric function is used to perform multiscale calculations of EELS for both silicene

Fire Dynamics Simulator Users Guide, Sixth Edition

November 4, 2013
Author(s)
Kevin B. McGrattan, Randall J. McDermott, Craig G. Weinschenk, Glenn P. Forney
This Guide describes how to use the Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS), a software package used to simulate the impact of fire on buildings.

Fire Dynamics Simulator, Technical Reference Guide, Sixth Edition

November 4, 2013
Author(s)
Kevin B. McGrattan, Randall J. McDermott, Craig G. Weinschenk, Glenn P. Forney
This document provides the theoretical basis for the Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS), following the general framework set forth in the “Standard Guide for Evaluating the Predictive Capability of Deterministic Fire Models,” ASTM E 1355. It is a four volume

Model Based Enterprise Summit Report

Joshua Lubell, Simon P. Frechette, Robert R. Lipman, Frederick M. Proctor, John A. Horst, Mark G. Carlisle, Paul J. Huang
This report summarizes the presentations, discussions, and recommendations from the Model-Based Enterprise Summit held at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in December of 2012. The purpose of the Summit was to identify challenges, research

Spin-Wave Propagation in the Presence of Interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya Interaction

November 4, 2013
Author(s)
Jung-Hwan Moon, Soo-Man Seo, Kyung Jin Lee, Kyoung-Whan Kim, Jisu Ryu, Hyun-Woo Lee, Robert McMichael, Mark D. Stiles
In ferromagnetic thin films, broken inversion symmetry and spin-orbit coupling give rise to interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions. Analytic expressions for spin-wave properties show that the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction leads to non

Unaware Person Recognition from the Body when Face Identification Fails

November 4, 2013
Author(s)
P J. Phillips, Rice Allyson, Vaidehi Natu, Xiabo An, Alice O'Toole
How do we recognize someone when the face fails? We show that people rely on the body, but are unaware of this. State-of-the-art face recognition algorithms were used to select images of people with no useful identity information in the face. Human

What's in a Name

November 4, 2013
Author(s)
Ursula R. Kattner
In the early days of alloy phase diagrams phases were named using Greek letters in unary systems, from lower temperatures to higher temperatures, and in binary systems from the left to the right hand side of the system. This convenient convention allows

High Resolution Frequency Comb Molecular Spectroscopy.

November 3, 2013
Author(s)
Ian R. Coddington, Alexander M. Zolot, Esther Baumann, Fabrizio R. Giorgetta, Greg B. Rieker, Jeffrey W. Nicholson, William C. Swann, Nathan R. Newbury
Frequency combs serve as an extremely high accuracy reference across broad portions of the optical spectrum. Dual frequency combs harness this accuracy and allow for fast and highly fidelity molecular spectroscopy.

Methods for Optimizing and Extending the Performance of Chemiresistive Gas Microsensors

November 3, 2013
Author(s)
Kurt D. Benkstein, Alexander (. Vergara Tinoco, Christopher B. Montgomery, Baranidharan Raman, Stephen Semancik
This paper briefly describes varied concepts developed and implemented to enhance the performance of gas-phase chemical microsensors. The developments are illustrated for chemiresistive (MEMS) microdevices, and involve efficient, array-based approaches to

A Framework to Update the Plan to Coordinate NEHRP Post-Earthquake Investigations

Carl G. Simon Jr., Wojtek J. Tutak, Sumona Sarkar, Tanya M. Farooque, Jyotsnendu J. Giri, Dongbo Wang, Sheng Lin-Gibson, Joachim Kohn, Durgadas Bolikal
Nanofiber scaffolds are effective for tissue engineering since they emulate the fibrous nanostructure of native extracellular matrix (ECM). Although electrospinning has been the most common approach for fabricating nanofiber scaffolds, airbrushing

Analysis of Contact Interfaces for Single GaN Nanowire Devices

November 1, 2013

Andrew M. Herrero, Paul T. Blanchard, Kristine A. Bertness
Single GaN nanowire (NW) devices fabricated on SiO 2 can exhibit a strong degradation after annealing due to the occurrence of void formation at the contact/SiO 2 interface. This void formation can cause cracking and delamination of the metal film, which
