Curtis, Mark Dadmun, Paul Fenimore, David Fushman, Frank Gabel, Kushol Gupta, Frederick Herberle, Frank Heinrich, Liang Hong, John Katsaras, Zvi Kelman, Eugenia Kharlampieva, Gerald R. Kneller, Andrey Kovalevsky, Susan T. Krueger, Paul Langan, Raquel Lieberman, Yun Liu, Mathias Losche, Edward Lyman, Yimin NMN Mao, John Marino, Carla Mattos, Flora Meilleur, Peter Moody, Jonathan D. Nickels, William B. O'Dell, Hugh O'Neill, Ursula Perez-Salas, Judith Peters, Loukas Petridis, Alexei P. Sokolov, Robert Sutherland, Norman Wagner, Michael NMN Weinrich, Kevin Weiss, Troy Wymore, Yang Zhang, Jeremy C. Smith
The scattering of neutrons can be used to provide information on the structure and dynamics of biological systems on multiple scales of length and time. Pursuant to an NSF-funded workshop in February 2018, we review recent developments in this field as

A Binomial Approximation Method for the Ising Model

May 21, 2014
Author(s)
Isabel M. Beichl, Amanda A. Streib, Noah S. Streib, Francis Sullivan
A large portion of the complexity inherent to the Ising model can be captures with a trivial amount of computation. in this work, we support this claim by defining an approximation to the partition function and other thermodynamic quantities of the Ising

Users Manual for Version 2.1.5 of the NIST DMIS Test Suite (for DMIS 5.1)

August 19, 2009
Author(s)
Thomas R. Kramer, John A. Horst
The NIST DMIS Test Suite, version 2.1.5, is described. The test suite is intended to serve two purposes, 1) to help users and vendors use version 5.1 of DMIS (the Dimensional Measuring Interface Standard) and 2) to provide utilities and test files for

Numerical Path-Integration Technique for the Calculation of Transport Properties

March 13, 2007
Author(s)
E Kang, M Mansfield, Jack F. Douglas
We present a new technique for the computation of both the translational diffusivity and the intrinsic viscosity of macromolecules, and apply it here to approximately 1000 different protein structures. The computed translational diffusivities and intrinsic

Simulating the Fires in the World Trade Center

July 7, 2004
Author(s)
Kevin B. McGrattan, C P. Bouldin
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is conducting a two year investigation of the World Trade Center disaster. Among numerous tasks, computer simulations of the fires are being conducted to provide structural engineers with a detailed

Resource theory of quantum uncomplexity

October 21, 2021
Author(s)
Nicole Halpern, Naga Kothakonda, Jonas Haferkamp, Anthony Munson, Jens Eisert, Philippe Faist
Quantum complexity is emerging as a key property of many-body systems, including black holes, topological materials, and early quantum computers. A state's complexity quantifies the number of computational gates required to prepare the state from a simple

Multiplicative Complexity of Vector Value Boolean Functions

September 21, 2015
Author(s)
Magnus G. Find, Joan Boyar
… connection between error correcting codes and circuits computing functions with high nonlinearity. Combining this … the nonlinearity of a function; we show a bilinear circuit computing a function with almost optimal nonlinearity with …

Iris Quality Calibration and Evaluation (IQCE): Evaluation Report

September 24, 2011
Author(s)
Elham Tabassi, Patrick J. Grother, Wayne J. Salamon
Iris is rapidly gaining acceptance and support as a viable biometric. Several large scale identity management applications are either using or considering iris as their secondary or primary biometric for verification. While there are several academic

Information Modeling and Model Implementation

January 1, 2006
Author(s)
Yung-Tsun Lee, Charles R. McLean, Yan Luo
Today?s manufacturing industry greatly relies on computer technology to support activities throughout a product?s life cycle. Effective and efficient information sharing and exchange among computer systems have been critical issues. Formal information

Motion-Model-Based Boundary Extraction

January 1, 1995
Author(s)
H Liu, Tsai H. Hong, Martin Herman, Rama Chellappa
Motion boundary extraction and optical flow computation are two subproblems of the motion recovery problem that cannot be solved independently of each other. They represent the most common dilemma in motion research. A popular approach uses an iterative

Peak Fraction Purity and Chromatographic Resolution: Gaussian Peaks Revisited

January 19, 2022
Author(s)
Andre Striegel, Deborah Striegel
For incompletely resolved peak pairs, the purity of the chromatographic or fractographic fractions is oftentimes underestimated by the common user. This results in wasted time and effort while trying to achieve higher resolution than needed for the

An Algorithm for Correcting Systematic Energy Deficits in the Atom Probe Mass Spectra of Insulating Samples

April 15, 2020
Author(s)
Benjamin W. Caplins, Paul T. Blanchard, Ann C. Chiaramonti Debay, David R. Diercks, Luis Miaja Avila, Norman A. Sanford
Improvements in the mass resolution of a mass spectrometer directly correlate to improvements in peak identification and quantification. Here we describe a post-processing technique developed to increase the quality of mass spectra of strongly insulating

A Simulation Platform to Study the Human Body Communication Channel

October 7, 2019
Author(s)
Kamran Sayrafian, Katjana Krhac, Gregory Noetscher, Dina Simunic
Human Body Communication (HBC) is an attractive low complexity technology with promising applications in wearable biomedical sensors. In this paper, a simple parametric model based on the finite-element method (FEM) using a full human body model is

Implementations of the Tennessee Eastman Process in Modelica

February 22, 2018
Author(s)
Carla Martin-Villalba, Alfonso Urquia, Guodong Shao
The Tennessee Eastman process is a typical industrial process that consists of five main process units: a two-phase reactor where an exothermic reaction occurs, a separator, a stripper, a compressor, and a mixer. This is a nonlinear open-loop unstable
