The Drosophila melanogaster PeptideAtlas facilitates the use of peptide data for improved fly proteomics and genome annotation

February 11, 2009
Author(s)
Sandra Loevenich, Erich Brunner, Nichole King, Stephen Stein, Ernst Hafen, Rudolf Aebersold
Background: Crucial foundations of any quantitative systems biology experiment are correct genome and proteome annotations in the reference databases used. Protein databases compiled from high quality empirical protein identifications, which are - in turn

Design of an on-chip microscale nanoassembly system

February 10, 2009
Author(s)
Jason J. Gorman, Yong Sik Kim, Andras Vladar, Nicholas G. Dagalakis
A microscale nanoassembly system has been designed for the fabrication of nanodevices and in situ electromechanical characterisation of nanostructures. This system consists of four Microelectromechanical Systems(MEMS)-based nanomanipulators positioned

Face Recognition by Computers and Humans

February 10, 2009
Author(s)
P J. Phillips, Rama Chellappa, Pawan Sinha
In most situations, identifying humans using faces is an effortless task for humans. Is this true for computers? This very question defines the field of automatic face recognition, one of the most active research areas in computer vision, pattern

Surface Dynamics of "Dry" Homopolymer Brushes

February 10, 2009
Author(s)
Bulent Akgun, Gokce Ugur, Jianqiang Zhang, Suresh Narayanan, Sanghoon Song, Heegu Lee, William J. Brittain, Hyunjung G. Kim, Sunil K. Sinha, Mark Foster
The dynamics of the surface height fluctuations on layers of covalently tethered, nearly monodisperse polymer chains synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization were studied using x-ray photon correlation spectroscopy. The data reveal that both

3D Particle Trajectories Observed by Orthogonal Tracking Microscopy

February 9, 2009
Author(s)
Matthew D. McMahon, Andrew J. Berglund, Peter T. Carmichael, Jabez J. McClelland, James A. Liddle
We demonstrate high-resolution, high-speed 3D nanoparticle tracking using angled micromirrors. When angled micromirrors are introduced into the field of view of an optical microscope, reflected side-on views of a diffusing nanoparticle are projected

A new connection between electricity and magnetism

February 9, 2009
Author(s)
Robert D. McMichael, Mark D. Stiles
A Viewpoint on ``Universal Electromotive Force Induced by Domain Wall Motion,'' Shengyuan A. Yang, Geoffrey S. D. Beach, Carl Knutson, Di Xiao, Qian Niu, Maxim Tsoi and James L. Erskine.

Making Kilopixel X-Ray Microcalorimeter Arrays a Reality

February 9, 2009
Author(s)
William B. Doriese, Megan E. Eckart
To enable unprecedented imaging X-ray spectroscopy, scientists at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center and the National Institute of Standards and Technology are developing arrays of high-resolution microcalorimeters and their readout.

Pulse Shape Discrimination for a Fast Neutron Detector

February 9, 2009
Author(s)
Kevin J. Coakley, Dominic F. Vecchia, Jeffrey S. Nico, B Fisher
We are developing a detector that uses liquid scintillator loaded with Li-6 for the efficient measurement of fast neutrons and their energy. Such a detector would have both scientific applications such as quantification of neutron energy spectra in

Effects of filler type and content on mechanical properties of photopolymerizable composites determined using a two-dimensional gradient platform

February 5, 2009
Author(s)
Sheng Lin-Gibson, Li Piin Sung, Haiqing Hu, Aaron M. Forster, Nancy J. Lin
Photopolymerizable dental composites have complex processing conditions and multi-component formulations that affect the final properties. Combinatorial screening is a useful approach for evaluating multiple properties of the composites. A single test

Magnetic Tunnel Junctions with Self-Assembled Molecules

February 5, 2009
Author(s)
Wenyong Wang, Curt A. Richter
Molecular electronic devices with spin-dependent tunneling (SDT) transport behavior offer an innovative and extremely enticing direction towards spin electronics, both from fundamental and technological points of view. In this work, such molecular magnetic

SEABIRD TISSUE ARCHIVAL AND MONITORING PROJECT: Egg Collections and Analytical Results for 2002-2005

February 5, 2009
Author(s)
Stacy S. Schuur, Paul R. Becker, Russell D. Day, Michael B. Ellisor, Aurore Guichard, Amanda J. Moors, David Point, Rebecca S. Pugh, David G. Roseneau
The Seabird Tissue Archival and Monitoring Project (STAMP) has continued to collect and bank murre and gull eggs to obtain new information on chlorinated pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), brominated flame retardants, mercury, and organotin

A Method for Fabricating Conductometric Gas Sensors of Metal Oxide Nanotubes Formed in Porous Aluminum Oxide Membranes

February 2, 2009
Author(s)
Reit Artzi-Gerlitz, Kurt D. Benkstein, David L. Lahr, Joshua L. Hertz, Christopher B. Montgomery, John E. Bonevich, Stephen Semancik, Michael J. Tarlov
We describe a general, simple strategy for fabricating conductometric gas sensors from metal oxide nanotubes formed in nanoporous aluminum oxide membranes. In this approach, the aluminum oxide membrane serves as both a template for growth of the sensing

Coherent measurements with fiber-laser frequency combs

February 2, 2009
Author(s)
Nathan R. Newbury, Ian R. Coddington, Tasshi Dennis, William C. Swann, Paul A. Williams
The coherent and broad spectral output of fiber-laser frequency combs can be exploited for a variety of high-resolution measurements outside of conventional frequency metrology. We will discuss recent measurements in spectroscopy, ranging, and
