Quasi-Two-dimensional Phase Transition of Methane Adsorbed in Cylindrical Silica Mesopores

November 29, 2017
Author(s)
Daniel W. Siderius, William P. Krekelberg, Wei-Shan NMN Chiang, Vincent K. Shen, Yun Liu
Using Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics simulations, we examine the adsorption of methane in cylindrical silica mesopores in an effort to understand a possible phase transition of adsorbed methane in MCM-41 and SBA-15 silica that was previously identified

The Effects of Burial Diagenesis on Multiscale Porosity in the St. Peter Sandstone: An Imagine, Small-Angle, and Ultra-Small-Angle Neutron Scattering Analysis

November 4, 2017
Author(s)
Lawrence M. Anovitz, Jared T. Freiburg, Matthew J. Wasbrough, David F. Mildner, Kenneth C. Littrell, Vitaliy Pipich, Jan Ilavsky
To examine the effects of burial diagenesis on heirarchical pore structures in sandstone and compare those with the effects of overgrowth formation, we obtained samples of St. Peter Sandstone from drill cores obtained in the Illinois and Michigan Basins

A Generalized Model of Flame to Surface Heat Feedback for Laminar Wall Flames

March 7, 2017
Author(s)
Isaac T. Leventon, Stanislav I. Stoliarov, Kevin T. Korver
In this work, experimental measurements of flame heat flux and sample mass loss rate are obtained as a flame spreads vertically upward over the surface of seven commonly used polymeric materials, two of which are glass reinforced composites. Using these

Improving the Interface Between Thermal and Structural Finite-Element Analyses

February 19, 2017
Author(s)
Dat Duthinh, Abed M. Khaskia
One of the recommendations of the National Construction Safety Team for the Federal Building and Fire Safety Investigation of the World Trade Center Disaster (NIST NCSTAR 1, 2005) is to enhance the capability of available computational software to predict

Chemical vs. Physical Acceleration of Cement Hydration: CaCl2 vs. Limestone Powder

November 1, 2016
Author(s)
Dale P. Bentz, Franco Zunino, Didier Lootens
Cold weather concreting often requires the use of chemical accelerators to speed up the hydration reactions of the cement, so that setting and early-age strength development will occur in a timely manner. While calcium chloride (dihydrate – CaCl2∙2H2O) is

Thermodynamics of Cottrell atmospheres tested by atomistic simulations

September 15, 2016
Author(s)
Yuri Mishin, John W. Cahn
Solute atoms can segregate to elastically deformed lattice regions around a dislocation and form an equilibrium distribution called the Cottrell atmosphere. We compare two approaches to describe Cottrell atmospheres. In the Eshelby theory, the solid

Demultiplexing Spectrum-Sharing Field Sources with Distributed Field Probes

July 24, 2016
Author(s)
Dan Kuester, Ryan T. Jacobs, Yao Ma, Jason Coder
A complete characterization of multiple-device wireless interactions must include data relatable to the electromagnetic field radiated by each device under test (DUT). If these field sources are separable in time or frequency, they can be demultiplexed

Vibrational Modes of Multilayered Ceramic Capacitors

April 28, 2016
Author(s)
Kirsten L. Peterson, Ward L. Johnson, Sudook A. Kim, Paul R. Heyliger
Micron-scale spacing of interleaved electrodes and high-dielectric ceramics in multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) provide exceptionally high capacitances in small volumes. This has led to MLCCs being the preferred type of capacitor in a wide range of

Survey Statistics of Automated Segmentations Applied to Optical Imaging of Mammalian Cells

January 8, 2016
Author(s)
Peter Bajcsy, Antonio Cardone, Joe Chalfoun, Michael W. Halter, Derek Juba, Marcin Kociolek, Michael P. Majurski, Adele P. Peskin, Carl G. Simon Jr., Mylene H. Simon, Antoine Vandecreme, Anne L. Plant, Mary C. Brady
The goal of this survey paper is to overview cellular measurements using optical microscopy imaging followed by automated image segmentation. The cellular measurements of primary interest are taken from mammalian cells and their components. They are

Exciton-dominated Dielectric Function of Atomically Thin MoS2 Films

November 24, 2015
Author(s)
Yilin Yu, Yifei Yu, Yongqing Cui, Wei Li, Gurarslan Alper, Peelaers Hartwin, Aspnes David, Chris Van de Walle, Nhan Van Nguyen, Zhang Yong-Wei, Linyou Cao
The control of photons by field effects, like the gating of electrons, can revolutionize a wide range of fields by enabling active photonic devices whose functions could be manipulated with sophistication and speeds comparable to what achieved in modern

Validated Open Source Nanofiber Diameter Measurement Tool

April 30, 2015
Author(s)
Nathan A. Hotaling, Kapil Bharti, Haydn Kriel, Carl G. Simon Jr.
Despite the growing use of nanofiber scaffolds for tissue engineering applications, there is not a validated, readily available (commercial or open source) solution for rapid, automated analysis of nanofiber diameter from scanning electron microscope (SEM)

System Vicarious Calibration for Ocean Color Climate Change Applications: Requirements for In Situ Data

March 15, 2015
Author(s)
Giuseppe Zibordi, Frederic Melin, Kenneth Voss, B. Carol Johnson, Bryan Franz, Ewa Kwiatkowska, J. P. Huot, Menghua Wang, David Antoine
System Vicarious Calibration (SVC) ensures a relative radiometric calibration to satellite ocean color sensors that minimizes uncertainties in the water-leaving radiance Lw derived from the top of atmosphere radiance LT. This is achieved through the
