Persistent Organic Pollutants and Vitamins in Northern Fur Seals (Callorhinus ursinus) Collected from St. Paul Island, Alaska as Part of the Alaska Marine Mammal Tissue Archival Project

August 1, 2013
Author(s)
John Kucklick, Jessica Reiner, Michele M. Schantz, Jennifer Lynch, Jennifer Hoguet, Kate Rimmer, Rebecca Pugh, Jody Rhoderick, Jennifer Ness, Paul R. Becker, Danielle Peterson
Liver and blubber samples from 50 juvenile male northern fur seals (Callorhinus ursinus) were collected on St. Paul Island from four different seal rookeries between 1987 and 2007. Samples were analyzed for vitamins and for both legacy and current-use

Production and Applications of Cellulose Nanomaterials

August 1, 2013
Author(s)
Michael T. Postek, Robert J. Moon, Alan Rudie, Michael Bilodeau
“Production and Applications of Cellulosic Nanomaterials” was intended to help organize and highlight the wide range of research being conducted worldwide on the science and technology of cellulose nanomaterials. The format of this book consists of short

Relaxation timescales and decay of correlations in a long-range interacting quantum simulator

August 1, 2013
Author(s)
John J. Bollinger, Mauritz van den Worm, Rytis Paskauskas, Brian C. Sawyer, Michael Kastner
When a physical system is coupled to a heat bath, one expects to observe thermalization to an equilibrium state whose temperature is determined by the bath properties. For an isolated many-body system, i.e. in the absence of a heat bath, the situation is

Safety Interlock and Vent System to Alleviate Potentially Dangerous Ice Blockage of Top-loading Cryostat Sample Sticks

August 1, 2013
Author(s)
S. Pangelis, S. R. Olsen, Julia Scherschligt, Juscelino Leao, S. A. Pullen, Daniel C Dender, J. R. Hester, P. Imperia
A combined solution is presented for minimising the safety hazards associated with closed cycle cryostats described in Swainson & Cranswick (2010) J. Appl. Cryst. 43, 206-210. The initial solution is to install a vent tube witn one open end deep inside the

The Effects of Wildfire Prevention Activities

August 1, 2013
Author(s)
Douglas S. Thomas, David T. Butry, Jeffrey P. Prestemon
Eighty percent of wildfires are human caused, so it is important for decision makers and land managers to consider the role of prevention activities that minimize the costs and losses of human-caused wildfires. There have been significant efforts aimed at

Three Years of DLMF: Web, Math & Search

August 1, 2013
Author(s)
Bruce R. Miller
DLMF was released to the public in May 2010 and is now completing its 3rd year online. As a somewhat early adopter of large-scale MathML content online, and exposing a math-aware search engine to the public, the project encountered situations distinct from

An Efficient Approach to Assessing the Risk of Zero-Day Vulnerabilities

July 31, 2013
Author(s)
M. Albanese, Sushil Jajodia, Anoop Singhal, Lingyu Wang
Computer systems are vulnerable to both known and zero-day attacks. Although known attack patterns can be easily modeled, thus enabling the definition of suitable hardening strategies, handling zero-day vulnerabilities is inherently difficult due to their

Electrically-protected resonant exchange qubits in triple quantum dots

July 31, 2013
Author(s)
Jacob M. Taylor, Vanita Srinivasa, Medford Jim
We present a modulated microwave approach for quantum computing with qubits comprising three spins in a triple quantum dot. This approach includes single- and two-qubit gates that are protected against low-frequency electrical noise, due to an operating

Ternary Blends for Economical and Environmentally Friendly Concretes

July 31, 2013
Author(s)
Dale P. Bentz, Jussara Tanesi, Ahmad Ardani
As sustainability moves to the forefront of trends in construction, concrete mixture proportions must be adjusted and adapted to a new set of economic and environmental demands. While high-volume fly ash concretes have been investigated extensively since

The Resonant Exchange Qubit

July 31, 2013
Author(s)
Jacob M. Taylor, Medford Jim, Johannes Beil, Emmanuel Rashba, H Lu, A. C. Gossard, C. M. Marcus
We introduce a solid-state qubit in which exchange interactions among confined electrons provide both the static longitudinal field and the oscillatory transverse field, allowing rapid and full qubit control via rf gate-voltage pulses. We demonstrate two
