Influence of Chemical Straightening on the Stability of Drugs of Abuse in Hair

October 8, 2014
Author(s)
Jeanita Pritchett, Karen W. Phinney
Chemical straightening, also known as a relaxer, is ubiquitously used among African American women to obtain straighter hair compared with their natural tresses. This study focused on the stability of drugs of abuse in hair after a single application of

Modeling of 2-bromotrifluoropropene flame inhibition

August 14, 2014
Author(s)
Donald R. Burgess Jr., Jeffrey A. Manion, Valeri I. Babushok, Gregory T. Linteris
… meeting both FAA minimum performance and mininum ODP standards for protecting passenger aircraft cargo-bays. In …

Third-order antibunching from an imperfect single-photon source

February 4, 2014
Author(s)
Martin J. Stevens, Scott C. Glancy, Sae Woo Nam, Richard P. Mirin
We measure second- and third-order temporal coherences, g (2)(τ) and g (3)(τ1, τ2), of an optically excited single-photon source: an InGaAs quantum dot in a microcavity pedestal. Increasing the optical excitation power leads to an increase in the measured

Dissipative production of a maximally entangled steady state of two quantum bits

December 19, 2013
Author(s)
John P. Gaebler, Yiheng Lin, Florentin Reiter, Ting Rei Tan, Ryan S. Bowler, Anders Sorensen, Dietrich G. Leibfried, David J. Wineland
Entangled states are a key resource in fundamental quantum physics, quantum cryptography, and quantum computation [1]. To date, controlled unitary interactions applied to a quantum system, so-called "quantum gates'', have been the most widely used method

Design and Usage Guide for Version 0.92 of the Quality Information Framework Data Model and XML (Extensible Markup Language) Schemas

November 23, 2012
Author(s)
Fiona Zhao, Thomas Kramer, Robert Brown, Scott Hoffman, Matt Hoffman, William G. Rippey, Robert Stone
This document describes the design approach used for implementing version 0.92 of the Quality Information Framework (QIF) data model, including implementation practices for the Extensible Markup Language (XML) Schema Definition Language (XSD) schemas that

Correction of Optical Aberrations in Elliptic Neutron Guides

November 21, 2012
Author(s)
Phllip M. Bentley, Shane J. Kennedy, Ken H. Andersen, Damian Martin Rodriguez, David F. Mildner
Modern, nonlinear ballistic neutron guides are an attractive concept in neutron beam delivery and instrumentation, because they offer increased performance over straight or linearly tapered guides. However, like other ballistic geometries they have the

Soil-Structure Interaction for Building Structures

September 13, 2012
Author(s)
Jonathan Stewart, C.B. Crouse, Tara C. Hutchinson, Bret Lizundia, Farzad Naeim, Farhang Ostadan
… literature that is difficult to understand, and codes and standards that contain limited guidance. This report …

Functionalized Nanoparticle Release and Distribution in PEG Hydrogel Delivery Systems

July 18, 2012
Author(s)
Stephanie L. Hume, Jenifer L. Blacklock, Kavita M. Jeerage
Nanoparticles have emerged as a promising therapeutic tool due to their unique physicochemical properties and tunable biological interactions. Delivery of therapeutic nanoparticles can be enhanced locally through standard drug-delivery platforms, such as

A Microelectromechanically Controlled Cavity Optomechanical Sensing System

July 17, 2012
Author(s)
Houxun H. Miao, Kartik A. Srinivasan, Vladimir A. Aksyuk
Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) have been applied to many measurement problems in physics, chemistry, biology and medicine. In parallel, cavity optomechanical systems have achieved quantum-limited displacement sensitivity and ground state cooling of

Asymptotically Optimal Confidences for Rejecting Local Realism

December 22, 2011
Author(s)
Yanbao Zhang, Scott Glancy, Emanuel Knill
Reliable experimental demonstrations of violations of local realism are highly desirable for fundamental tests of Quantum Mechanics. Such violations can be quantified in terms of a confidence for rejecting local realism. We propose a method for computing
