ALOFT-PC: A Smoke Plume Trajectory Model for Personal Computers

March 1, 2003
Author(s)
William D. Walton, Kevin B. McGrattan, J V. Mullin
As the understanding of the capabilities and limitations of in situ burning of oil spills increases, in situ burning continues to gain acceptance as an oil spill mitigation tool. One widely imposed criteria for the use of in situ burning is limiting the

Exploring and Extending the Limits of CD-SEMs' Resolution

March 1, 2003
Author(s)
Andras Vladar, Michael T. Postek, John S. Villarrubia
This study of SEM resolution is occasioned by concerns that it is no longer adequate for lithography process control in integrated circuit manufacturing. For example, according to the most recent International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors, the in

Standards for Reliability Testing of Heavy Vehicle

October 1, 2001
Author(s)
S Jahanmir, James F. Kelly, William E. Luecke
The objective of this project is to develop international standard test methods for assessing the reliability of ceramic components used in diesel engines and other heavy vehicle propulsion systems. Advanced ceramics such as silicon nitrides offer unique

Linear Procedures for Structures with Velocity-Dependent Dampers

August 1, 2000
Author(s)
Fahim Sadek, B Mohraz, Michael A. Riley
Passive energy dissipation devices are used to reduce the damaging effects of earthquakes. These devices can absorb a portion of the earthquake-induced energy in structures and thus reduce the energy demand on structural members. Wide acceptance of these

A Policy Perspective on Electronic Commerce

September 1, 1999
Author(s)
E Maxwell, S A. Wakid, J A. Moline
On July 1, 1997, President Clinton issued A Framework for Global Electronic Commerce identifying nine areas in which international agreements would be needed in order to preserve the Internet as a non-regulatory medium.The implementation of global

Intercomparison of SEM, AFM, and Electrical Linewidths

June 1, 1999
Author(s)
John S. Villarrubia, Ronald G. Dixson, Samuel N. Jones, J R. Lowney, Michael T. Postek, Richard A. Allen, Michael W. Cresswell
Uncertainty in the locations of line edges dominates the uncertainty budget for high quality sub-micrometer linewidth measurements. For microscopic techniques like scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM), the image of the sharp

Strategic Plan 2010

April 21, 2010
Author(s)
Gerald T. Fraser
The Optical Technology Division s 2010 Strategic Plan defines the Mission, Vision, and Strategic Elements for the Division. The Strategic Elements consist of Optical Radiation Standards, Optical Measurement Methods, and Optical Measurement Services. The

Skyrmion-Excited Spin-Wave Fractal Networks

August 18, 2023
Author(s)
Nan Tang, W. L. N. C. Liyanage, Sergio A. Montoya, Sheena Patel, Lizabeth J. Quigley, Alexander Grutter, Michael R. Fitzsimmons, Sunil Sinha, Julie A. Borchers, Eric E. Fullerton, Lisa Debeer-Schmitt, Dustin A. Gilbert
Magnetic skyrmions exhibit unique, technologically relevant pseudo-particle behaviors which arise from their topological protection, including well-defined, three-dimensional breathing and gyration modes which occur at microwave frequencies. During dynamic

Near Zero Field Magnetoresistance Spectroscopy: A New Tool in Semiconductor Reliability Physics

May 15, 2023
Author(s)
Patrick Lenahan, Elias Frantz, Sean King, Mark Anders, Stephen Moxim, James P Ashton, Kenneth Myers, Michael Flatte, Nicholas Harmon
A relatively simple addition to many widely utilized semiconductor device characterization techniques can allow one to identify much of the atomic scale structure of point defects which play important roles in the electronic properties of the devices under

Production, purification and characterization of 15N5-labeled cis- and trans-aflatoxin B1-formamidopyrimidines, and aflatoxin B1-N7-guanine as internal standards for mass spectrometric measurements

April 11, 2023
Author(s)
Pawel Jaruga, Melis Kant, Miral M. Dizdar, Rachana Tomar, Vladimir Vartanian, Benjamin Sexton, Carmelo Rizzo, Robert Turesky, Michael Stone, R. Stephen Lloyd
Exposure to aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) through contaminated food is a primary contributor to the occurrence of hepatocellular carcinogenesis worldwide. Hepatitis B viral infections in livers dramatically increase the carcinogenic potency of AFB1 exposures. Liver

Can Old TREC Collections Reliably Evaluate Modern Neural Retrieval Models?

January 26, 2022
Author(s)
Ellen M. Voorhees, Ian Soboroff, Jimmy Lin
Neural retrieval models are generally regarded as fundamentally different from the retrieval techniques used in the late 1990's when the TREC ad hoc test collections were constructed. They thus provide the opportunity to empirically test the claim that poo

Lessons learned from FeSb2O4 on stereoactive lone pairs as a design principle for anion insertion

October 20, 2021
Author(s)
Wasif Zaheer, George Agbeworvi, Saul Perez-Beltran, Justin Andrews, Yierpan Aierken, Conan Weiland, Cherno Jaye, Young-Sang Yu, David Shapiro, Sirine Fakra, Daniel A. Fischer, Jinghua Guo, David Prendergrast, Sarbajit Banerjee
Fluoride-ion batteries are an attractive energy storage concept analogous to lithium-ion batteries but feature an inverted paradigm where anions (fluoride-ion), and not cations, are the principal charge carriers. Insertion hosts that can reversibly insert

Two Stage Forming: Experimental and FE Analysis

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
M C. Oliveira, A J. Baptista, J L. Alves, L F. Menezes, D E. Green, Thomas H. Gnaupel-Herold, Mark Iadicola, Timothy J. Foecke, T B. Stoughton
One of the present challenges in sheet metal forming is to simulate sequential production stages, from the initial blank sheet to the final part ready for assembly. In this context, it is fundamental to evaluate the forming characteristics of the materials

High-fidelity laser-free universal control of trapped ion qubits

Raghavendra Srinivas, Emanuel Knill, Robert Sutherland, Alexander T. Kwiatkowski, Hannah M. Knaack, Scott Glancy, David J. Wineland, Shaun C. Burd, Dietrich Leibfried, Andrew C. Wilson, David T. Allcock, Daniel Slichter
Universal control of multiple qubits—the ability to entangle qubits and to perform arbitrary individual qubit operations—is a fundamental resource for quantum computing, simulation and networking. Qubits realized in trapped atomic ions have shown the
