Emerging techniques for the detection of pyrotechnic residues from seized postal packages containing fireworks

January 24, 2020
Author(s)
John Gillen, Thomas Forbes, Jennifer R. Verkouteren, Shannon T. Krauss, Karlijn Bezemer, Arian C. van Asten, Peter J. Shoenmakers, Mattijs Koeberg
High volume screening of parcels with the aim to trace the illegal distribution and selling of fireworks using postal services is challenging. Inspection services have limited manpower and means to perform extensive visual inspection. In this study, the

Molecular Rigidity, Excess Entropy, and Enthalpy-Entropy Compensation in DNA Melting

September 24, 2017
Author(s)
Jack F. Douglas, Fernando Vargas-Lara, Francis W. Starr
Enthalpy-entropy compensation (EEC) is observed in diverse molecular binding processes of vital importance to living systems and manufacturing applications, but this widely occurring phenomenon is not well understood from a molecular physics standpoint. To

Spin Jam Induced by Quantum Fluctuations in a Frustrated Magnet

Junjie Yang, Anjana Samarakoon, Sachith Dissanayake, Hiroaki Ueda, Israel Klich, Daniel M Pajerowski, Nicholas Butch, Qingzhen Huang, John R. Copley, Seung-Hun Lee
Since the discovery of spin glasses in dilute magnetic systems, their study has been largely focused on understanding randomness and defects as the driving mechanisms. However, it has been theoretically suggested that different mechanism. However, it has

Using Viscosity Modifiers to Reduce Effective Diffusivity in Mortars

August 1, 2012
Author(s)
Kenneth A. Snyder, Dale P. Bentz, Jeffrey M. Davis
Three viscosity modifiers (a commercial shrinkage-reducing admixture, a polypropylene glycol, and cellulose ether) are used to reduce the effective diffusivity of chloride ions through mortars during a one-year exposure. Two delivery mechanisms were

Hierarchical Structure and Dynamics of an Ionic Liquid 1-Octyl-3-methylimidazolium Chloride

August 3, 2011
Author(s)
Osamu Yamamuro, Takeshi Yamada, Maiko Kofu, Masamichi Nakakoshi, Michihiro Nagao
We have performed the heat capacity, neutron diffraction, and neutron quasielas- tic scattering measurements of an ionic liquid 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (C8mimCl). The heat capacity data revealed that C8mimCl exhibits a glass tran- sition with
