Entropy-Driven Segregation of Polymer-Grafted Nanoparticles under Confinement

February 22, 2017
Author(s)
Ren Zhang, Bongjoon Lee, Christopher Stafford, J. F. Douglas, Andrey V. Dobrynin, Michael R. Bockstaller, Alamgir Karim
Polymer-grafted nanoparticles (PGNPs) have attracted much attention due to the enhanced dispersion in polymeric materials via an interacting brush layer that enables unique functionality and stability. The miscibility and organization of nanoparticles

Giant Electromechanical Coupling of Relaxor Ferroelectric Controlled by Polar Nanoregion Dynamics

September 16, 2016
Author(s)
Michael E. Manley, Douglas L. Abernathy, Raffi Sahul, Daniel E. Parshall, Jeffrey W. Lynn, Andrew D. Christianson, Paul J. Stonaha, Eliot D. Specht, John D. Budai
Ferroelectric relaxors are inhomogeneous materials prized for their giant electromechanical coupling, which has revolutionized sensor and ultrasound applications, but is not well understood. It has been attributed to critical points in the phase diagram

Quantifying and Improving Clinical-grade Coverage and Accuracy using Augmented Exome Sequencing

July 16, 2015
Author(s)
Justin M. Zook, Anil Patwardhan, Marc L. Salit, Carlos Bustamante, Euan Ashley, Michael Snyder, John West, Richard Chen
Exome sequencing is increasingly used for the clinical evaluation of genetic disease, yet accuracy and coverage in medically interpretable parts of the genome remains under-characterized. We evaluate recently developed exome sequencing platforms in the

Simulating Occupancy in The NIST Net-Zero Energy Residential Test Facility

November 21, 2013
Author(s)
Farhad Omar, Steven T. Bushby
The Net-Zero Energy Residential Test Facility (NZERTF), at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Gaithersburg, Maryland, is a research house that is comparable in size and aesthetic to the houses in the greater Washington DC metro

Pretreatment with Pyridoxamine Mitigates Isolevuglandinassociated Retinal Effects in Mice Exposed to Bright Light

October 11, 2013
Author(s)
Casey Charvet, Aicha Saadane, Meiyao M. Wang, Robert Salomon, Henri Brunengraber, Christine Curcio, Illarion Turko, Irina Pikuleva
The benefits of antioxidant therapy for treating age-related macular degeneration, a devastating retinal disease, are limited. Perhaps species other than reactive oxygen intermediates should be considered as therapeutic targets. These could be lipid

Testing the Reliability of Non-LTE Spectroscopic Models for Complex Ions

May 11, 2013
Author(s)
Yuri Ralchenko, S Hansen, S. Bastiani-Ceccotti, C. Bowen, H.-K. Chung, J. Colgan, F. de Gaufridy de Dortan, C. J. Fontes, F. Gilleron, J.-C. Marques, R. Piron, O. Peyrusse, M. Poirier, A. Sasaki, E. Stambulchik, F. Thais
… benchmarked, laser plasma. While variations in diagnostic strategies and qualities of fit were significant, the results …

Universal Proteolysis and MSn for N- and O- Glycan Branching Analysis

April 20, 2013
Author(s)
John E. Schiel, Karen W. Phinney, Nicholas J. Smith
The continually growing list of critical glycosylation-related processes has made analytical methodology for detailed glycan characterization an area of increasing interest. Glycosylation is a post translational modification of unsurpassed complexity due

Efficient Algorithms for T-way Test Sequence Generation

October 16, 2012
Author(s)
Linbin Yu, Yu Lei, Raghu N. Kacker, D. Richard Kuhn, James F. Lawrence
Combinatorial testing has been shown to be a very effective testing strategy. Most work on combinatorial testing focuses on t-way test data generation, where each test is an unordered set of parameter values. In this paper, we study the problem of t-way

Modeling Extreme Bottom-Up Filling of Through Silicon Vias

August 29, 2012
Author(s)
Daniel Josell, Daniel Wheeler, Thomas P. Moffat
Extreme bottom-up superfilling of through silicon vias (TSV) was recently described wherein deposition occurs on the bottom surface of the vias with negligible deposition on their sidewalls or the field around them. The process uses a deposition

Contour Metrology using Critical Dimension Atomic Force Microscopy

April 9, 2012
Author(s)
Ndubuisi G. Orji, Ronald G. Dixson, Andras Vladar, Bin Ming, Michael T. Postek
The critical dimension atomic force microscope (CD-AFM), which is used as a reference instrument in lithography metrology, has been proposed as a supplemental instrument for contour measurement and verification. However, although data from CD-AFM is

STR Sequence Analysis for Characterizing Normal, Variant, and Null Alleles

August 1, 2011
Author(s)
Margaret C. Kline, Carolyn R. Steffen, John M. Butler, Amy Decker
DNA sequence variation is known to exist in and around the repeat region of short tandem repeat (STR) loci used in human identity testing. While the vast majority of STR alleles measured in forensic DNA laboratories worldwide type as "normal" alleles

A Bayesian Statistical Model for Hybrid Metrology to Improve Measurement Accuracy

July 31, 2011
Author(s)
Richard M. Silver, Nien F. Zhang, Bryan M. Barnes, Jing Qin, Hui Zhou, Ronald G. Dixson
We present a method to combine measurements from different techniques that reduces uncertainties and can improve measurement throughput. The approach directly integrates the measurement analysis of multiple techniques that can include different
