Predicting Structures of Ru-Centered Dyes: A Computational Screening Tool

March 16, 2016
Author(s)
Lisa A. Fredin, Thomas C. Allison
Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) represent a viable means for harvesting solar energy to produce electrical power. Though a number of light harvesting dyes are in use, the search continues for more efficient and effective compounds to make commercially

Stochastic behavior of nanoscale dielectric wall buckling

March 16, 2016
Author(s)
Lawrence H. Friedman, Igor Levin, Robert F. Cook
The random buckling patterns of nanoscale dielectric walls are analyzed using a nonlinear multi-scale stochastic method that combines experimental measurements with simulations. The dielectric walls, approximately 200 nm tall and 20 nm wide, consist of

A Bacteriophage Endolysin that Eliminates Intracellular Streptococci

March 15, 2016
Author(s)
Yang Shen, Marilia Barros, Tarek Vennemann, David Travis Gallagher, Yizhou Yin, Sara B. Linden, Ryan D. Heselpoth, Dennis J. Spencer, David M. Donovan, John Moult, Vincent A. Fischetti, Frank Heinrich, Mathias Loesche, Daniel C. Nelson
PlyC, a bacteriophage-encoded A-B endolysin, lyses Streptococcus pyogenes (Spy) on contact and protects mice from upper respiratory Spy colonization. Here, we demonstrate that PlyC is a novel, potent agent for targeting and controlling intracellular Spy

An Energy-Efficient Target Tracking Strategy for Mobile Sensor Networks

March 15, 2016
Author(s)
Kamran Sayrafian, Hamid Mahboubi, Walid Masoudimansour, Amir G. Aghdam
In this paper, an energy-efficient strategy is proposed for tracking a moving target in an environment with obstacles, using a network of mobile sensors. Typically, the most dominant sources of energy consumption in a mobile sensor network are sensing

Chapter 7: Quantitative Assessment of Stress Relaxation in Tin Films by the Formation of Whiskers, Hillocks, and Other Surface Defects

March 15, 2016
Author(s)
Nicholas Clore, Dennis D. Fritz, Wei-Hsun Chen, Maureen E. Williams, John E. Blendell, Carol A. Handwerker
This chapter focuses on a study to develop & validate a surface defect counting procedure to be applied in research on the specific mechanisms responsible for stress relaxation & tin whisker formation in tin films. The current JEDEC standards [1,2] for the

End-to-end Demonstration of the Quality Information Framework (QIF) Standard at the International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) 2014

March 15, 2016
Author(s)
Hui-Min Huang, John L. Michaloski, Daniel Campbell, Robert Stone, Thomas Kramer, Curtis Brown, Robert Brown, Gavrai Tatarliev, William Sobel, Lyle Fischer
The "Silos of Quality" in manufacturing can be described as the proliferation of customized quality languages for different stages of production. This quality "tower of babel" results in excessive translations causing loss of information, reduction of

NSTIC Pilots: Catalyzing the Identity Ecosystem [including updates as of 09-20-2015]

March 15, 2016
Author(s)
Katerina N. Megas, Philip Lam, Ellen M. Nadeau, Colin Soutar
Pilots are an integral part of the National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace (NSTIC), issued by the White House in 2011 to encourage enhanced security, privacy, interoperability, and ease of use for online transactions. This document details

Report on the CCT Supplementary Comparison S1 of Infrared Spectral Normal Emittance/Emissivity

March 15, 2016
Author(s)
Leonard M. Hanssen, Boris Wilthan, Christian Monte, Joerg Hollandt, Jacques Hameury, Jean-Remy Filtz, Ferruccio Girard, Mauro Battuello, Juntaro Ishii
The National Measurement Institutes (NMIs) of the United States, Germany, France, Italy and Japan, have joined in an inter-laboratory comparison of their infrared spectral emittance scales. This action is part of a series of supplementary inter-laboratory
