AFM Observations of Slip Band Development in AI Single Crystals

October 16, 2008
Author(s)
D E. Kramer, M Savage, Lyle E. Levine
In situ atomic force microscopy (AFM) is used to observe the structure and evolution of slip bands on the surface of plastically deformed aluminum single crystals. Both the structure and evolution of the slip bands are observed to be a function of the

Alloy Selection

October 16, 2008
Author(s)
C A. Handwerker, Ursula R. Kattner, Kil-Won Moon, J Bath, E -. Bradley, P Snugovsky
In this chapter, the key results and analyses leading to the choice of tin-silver-copper alloys by NEMI as the new national standard Pb-free solder system are discussed in detail. These include data on phase transformations in solders (including melting

Amphiphilic Block Copolymer Nanotubes and Vesicles Stabilized byPhotopolymerization

October 16, 2008
Author(s)
Ana Jofre, John B. Hutchison, Laurie E. Locascio, Kristian Helmerson
Photopolymerization is implemented to crosslink and stabilize vesicles and nanotubes composed of amphiphilic block copolymer chains. Stabilized membranes of nanotubes and vesicles were formed by the directed self-assembly of poly(ethylene oxide)-block

An Approach for Assessing Total Cellular DNA Damage

October 16, 2008
Author(s)
Marc Roy
The capability to relate phenotypic effects with damage associated with either of the two genomes is especially useful under a number of circumstances. Potential hazardous exposures (e.g. smoking, pesticides, uv-light) can be evaluated for genotoxicity and

An Element of Physical Reality on the Choice of Measurement Basis

October 16, 2008
Author(s)
David Song
It is shown that the choice of measurement basis where entangled systems are measured in cannot be local elements of reality. Two distant parties share maximally entangled states and chosen bases between Z and X with P=1/2 are used to perform measurements

An Estimate of Effect Size Based on the Mann-Whitney Statistic

October 16, 2008
Author(s)
James H. Yen
Meta analysis, the statistical synthesis of results from several different studies, often involves combining estimates of effect sizefrom several experiments. The standardized mean difference is one of the most commonly used estimates of effect size

An Investigation of Discrimination Capacity and the Cause of Null Alleles in Linear Array Mitostrips Using Control Region Sequence Data.

October 16, 2008
Author(s)
Michael D. Coble, Margaret C. Kline, Janette W. Redman, Amy E. Decker, Peter Vallone, John Butler
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) analysis of forensic evidentiary materials such as degraded bones and shed hairs can provide the forensic scientist with some genetic information especially when highly discriminatory systems, such as nuclear STRs, completely fail

An Observable Measure of Multiqubit Entanglement for Pure States

October 16, 2008
Author(s)
G K. Brennen
Recently, Meyer and Wallach [D.A. Meyer and N.R. Wallach (2002), J. of Math. Phys., 43, pp. 4273] proposed a measure of multi-qubit entanglement that is a function on pure states. We find that this function can be interpreted as a physical quantity related

An Optical Sensor for Measuring Fluorescence Anisotropy of Oriented Polymers

October 16, 2008
Author(s)
S C. Roth, Anthony J. Bur
An optical sensor containing polarizing optical components has been constructed for the purpose of measuring fluorescence anisotropy of fluorescent dyes. The measurement involves the detection of vertical and horizontal components of fluorescent light

Analyses of QC Materials for Huntington s Disease Genetic Testing

October 16, 2008
Author(s)
J P. Jakupciak, Kristy L. Richie
The expansion of molecular testing using nucleic acid technologies in clinical and public health practice has increased the need for appropriate reference materials and verified quality control (QC) materials for quality assurance, test validation

Analysis of High-Resolution Infrared and N 1 CARS Spectra of 34 S 18 O 3

October 16, 2008
Author(s)
Tony Masiello, J Barber, E T. Chrysostom, J Nibler, A G. Maki, A Weber, Thomas A. Blake, R L. Sams
Three fundamental modes and several hot bands of 34S 18O 3 have been investigated using both infrared spectroscopy and coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering spectroscopy (CARS). Coriolis coupling effects are particularly noticeable in 34S 18O 3 due to the

Analysis of Structural Steel in the World Trade Center Investigation

October 16, 2008
Author(s)
Frank W. Gayle, Richard J. Fields, Stephen W. Banovic
In March 2002 NIST became the lead agency in an investigation of the World Trade Center collapse. The investigation addresses many aspects of the catastrophe, from occupant egress to factors affecting how long the Twin Towers stood after being hit by the

Anomalous Relaxation in Entropic Colloidal Gels

October 16, 2008
Author(s)
Erik K. Hobbie, A D. Stewart
Brownian motion in depletion-force networks is studied with video microscopy in confined nearly hard-sphere mixtures. The particle trajectories show anomalous diffusion, while the self part of the van Hove correlation function exhibits a novel scaling in

Any-Order Propagation of the Nonlinear Schroedinger Equation

October 16, 2008
Author(s)
Frederick Strauch
We derive an exact propagation scheme for nonlinear Schr\o}dinger equations. This scheme is entirely analogous to the propagation of linear Schr\o}dinger equations. We accomplish this by defining a special operator whose algebraic properties ensure the

Application of a CMP Model to Tungsten CMP

October 16, 2008
Author(s)
E W. Paul
A general model of chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) has been derived which shows the dependence of the polishing rate on the concentration of chemicals and abrasives in the slurry. This paper applies the model to tungsten CMP and describes the chemistry
