Standardization of Broadband UV Measurements

January 1, 2013
Author(s)
George P. Eppeldauer
The CIE standardized rectangular-shape UV response functions can be realized only with large spectral mismatch errors. The spectral power-distribution of UV sources is not standardized. Accordingly, the readings of different types of UV meters, even if

The spectrum of Fe II

January 1, 2013
Author(s)
Gillian Nave, S Johansson
The spectrum of singly-ionized iron (Fe II) has been recorded using high-resolution Fourier transform and grating spectroscopy over the wavelength range 900 Å to 5.5 μm. The spectra were recorded in high-current continuous and pulsed hollow cathode

Time Transfer Using a Satellite Navigation System

January 1, 2013
Author(s)
Judah Levine
Article does not have an abstract. It was solicited by the editors of the yearbook and was written based on their detailed comments about the topics to be covered, the technical detail, etc. It is intended for high-school students and contains material

Near-Field Scaning Microwave Microscope (NSMM)

December 31, 2012
Author(s)
Atif A. Imtiaz, Thomas M. Wallis, Pavel Kabos
Electromagnetic waves in the microwave frequency range are an essential tool for the investigation of material and device properties across a broad range of applications. Examples of materials of interest include: ferroelectric materials, ferromagnetic

Oxidatively Induced DNA Damage and Cancer

December 31, 2012
Author(s)
M Miral Dizdar
Endogenous and exogenous sources cause oxidatively induced DNA damage in living organisms by a variety of mechanisms. Resulting DNA lesions are mutagenic and, unless repaired, lead to a variety of mutations and consequently to genetic instability, which a

Forensic DNA Advisory Groups: DAB, SWGDAM, ENFSI, and BSAG

December 28, 2012
Author(s)
John M. Butler
A number of organizations exist around the world that work on a national or international level to aid quality assurance and to promote accurate forensic DNA testing. These organizations are made up primarily of working scientists who coordinate their

Hybrid Electro-Optically Modulated Microcombs

December 28, 2012
Author(s)
Pascal P. Del'Haye, Scott B. Papp, Scott A. Diddams
Optical frequency combs based on mode-locked lasers have proven to be invaluable tools for a wide range of applications in precision spectroscopy and metrology. Recently, a novel principle of optical frequency comb generation in whispering gallery mode

Meteorological extremes

December 28, 2012
Author(s)
Franklin T. Lombardo, Adam L. Pintar, Antonio Possolo, Emil Simiu, DongHun Yeo
This entry reviews basic principles of the statistical analysis of large extreme values (EVs), the role of simulations for the development of relevant meteorological data sets, the interaction between the extreme value modeling process and its application

Chemically Modifiable Fluorinated Copolymer Nanoparticles for 19F MRI Contrast Enhancement

December 27, 2012
Author(s)
Jessica L. Staymates, Mark M. Bailey, Steven R. Kline, Michael D. Anderson, Cory Berkland
Recently there has been interest in developing imaging contrast media for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) that contain biologically rare, magnetically active nuclei such as fluorine. In principle, fluorinated contrast agents can be used to generate highly

Developmental Validation of the PowerPlex(R) ESI 17 Pro System

December 27, 2012
Author(s)
Carolyn R. Steffen, Margaret C. Kline, John Butler, Robert S. McLaren, Jaynish Patel, Margaret Ewing, Douglas R. Storts, Fabrice Noel, Sophie Dognaux
The SE33 locus is one of the most polymorphic markers used in human identification. However, it also possesses multiple microvariants both within the repeat and in the flanking regions. Such flanking region mutations can generate discordant allele calls

Phase Diagram and Crystal Chemistry of the La-Ca-Co-O System

December 27, 2012
Author(s)
Winnie K. Wong-Ng, William J. Laws, Yonggao Y. Yan
The phase diagram of the La-Ca-Co-O system at 885 °C in air has been determined. The system consists of two materials that have interesting thermoelectric properties, namely, the misfit layered thermoelectric oxide solid solution, (Ca, La)3Co4O9, and
