Economic optimization of wildfire intervention activities

August 1, 2010
Author(s)
David T. Butry, Jeffrey P. Prestemon, Karen L. Abt, Rhonda Sutphen
We describe how two important tools of wildfire management, wildfire prevention education and prescribed fire for fuels management, can be coordinated to minimize the combination of management costs and expected societal losses resulting from wildland fire

Author(s)
Sudarsan Rachuri, Prabir Sarkar, Dimitris Kiritsis, Masaru Nakano
We are witnessing an increased interest to ensure that future generations have adequate resources to maintain a high standard of living. The World Commission on Environment and Development defines sustainable development as, Sustainable development is

Flow Visualization Techniques for the Evaluation of Non-Contact Trace Contraband Detectors

August 1, 2010
Author(s)
Matthew E. Staymates, Wayne Smith, John G. Gillen, Richard T. Lareau, Robert A. Fletcher
Efforts are underway in the Surface and Microanalysis Science Division at the National Institute of Standards and Technology to study trace aerodynamic sampling of explosive particles using walk-through portal-based detection systems. Explosive trace

From the Editor's Desk: Re-Visioning Reviews

August 1, 2010
Author(s)
Catherine A. Remley
This is an Editorial for the August, 2010 issue of IEEE Microwave Magazine. Kate Remley, the Editor-in-Chief, writes about timely topics for the members of the Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (MTT-S).

In Vitro and in Vivo Characteristics of Fluorapatite-forming Calcium Phosphate Cements

August 1, 2010
Author(s)
Shozo Takagi, Stanislav A. Frukhtbeyn, Laurence C. Chow, Akiyoshi Sugawara, Kenji Fujikawa, Kidehiro Ogata, Makoto Hayashi, Bunnai Ogiso
This study reports for the first time in vitro and in vivo properties of fluorapatite (FA)-forming calcium phosphate cements (CPCs). The experimental cements contained from (0 to 3.3) mass % of F, corresponding to presence of FA at levels of approximately

Modeling and Monitoring of Construction Supply Chains

August 1, 2010
Author(s)
Jack C. Cheng, Kincho H. Law, Hans Bjornsson, Albert T. Jones, Ram D. Sriram
The planning and management of supply chains require properly specifying the participating members and the relationships among them. Construction supply chains usually consist of numerous participants and are complex in structure. Representing construction

Purification Chemical Structure Electrical Property Relationship in Gold Nanoparticle Liquids

August 1, 2010
Author(s)
Robert I. MacCuspie, Andrea M. Elsen, Steve J. Diamanti, Steve T. Patton, Igor Altfeder, J. D. Jacobs, Andrey A. Voevodin, Richard A. Vaia
Macroscopic assemblies of nanoparticles are a new class of materials that exhibit unique properties compared to both bulk and isolated nanoparticle states. To more accurately probe the structure-property relationships of these materials, this report

Quartz crystal microbalance for in-situ monitoring of laser cleaning of carbon nanotubes

August 1, 2010
Author(s)
Katie Hurst, Abram Van Der Geest, Mark T. Lusk, Elisabeth Mansfield, John H. Lehman
Photochemical changes of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), graphite and amorphous carbon have been investigated with a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM). The method of in-situ measurements reduces our uncertainty that is attributable to

Spectroscopy with a coherent dual frequency comb interferometer at 3.4 mm

August 1, 2010
Author(s)
Esther Baumann, Fabrizio R. Giorgetta, Ian R. Coddington, William C. Swann, Nathan R. Newbury
A coherent dual fiber-comb spectrometer centered at 1.5 µm wavelengths is transferred to 3.4 µm by difference-frequency generation with a 1064 nm cw laser. It is shown that the residual linewidth between the comb teeth at 3.4 µm is resolution-limited to

Standard Reference Material 660b for X-ray Metrology

August 1, 2010
Author(s)
David R. Black, Donald A. Windover, Albert Henins, James J. Filliben, James P. Cline
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) certifies a suite of Standard Reference Materials (SRMs) to address specific aspects of instrument performance of powder diffractometers. This report describes SRM 660b, the third generation of this

Supercontinuum fiber laser source for reflectance calibrations in remote sensing

August 1, 2010
Author(s)
Clarence J. Zarobila, Heather J. Patrick
The Optical Technology Division of the NIST provides reference measurements of specular and diffuse reflectance of materials, including measurements that provide traceability for diffuser plaques that are used as onboard calibration standards in remote

Tripartite interactions between two phase qubits and a resonant cavity

August 1, 2010
Author(s)
Fabio Altomare, Jae Park, Katarina Cicak, Mika Sillanpaa, Michael S. Allman, Adam J. Sirois, Joshua Strong, Jed D. Whittaker, Raymond Simmonds
The ability to create and manipulate the entanglement of a large number of quantum systems lies at the heart of emerging quantum information technologies. Thus far, multipartite entanglement has been achieved using various forms of quantum bits (qubits)

Zero-Doping State and Electron-Hole Asymmetry in an Ambipolar Cuprate

August 1, 2010
Author(s)
Kouji Segawa, M. Kofu, S.-H. Lee, I. Tsukada, H. Hiraka, M. Fujita, Sung Chang, K Yamada, Yoichi Ando
What exactly happens when a charge carrier is doped into a Mott insulator is a key question in many-body physics, for it lies at the heart of the problem of the high-temperature superconductivity in cuprates. To address this issue, ideally one should start
