Inventory and Flow Time in the US Manufacturing Industry

December 14, 2015
Author(s)
Douglas Thomas, Anand M. Kandaswamy
Advancements in the efficient use of inputs, such as land and labor, have been a key driver of per capita income growth throughout history. One method for identifying potential efficiency improvements is lean manufacturing or lean production, a set of

Rotational Dynamics of Organic Cations in the CH 3 NH 3 Pbl 3 Perovskite

December 14, 2015
Author(s)
Tianran Chen, Benjamin J. Foley, Bahar NMN Ipek, Madhu Sudan Tyagi, John R. Copley, Craig Brown, Joshua J. Choi, Seunghun Lee Lee
All semiconductors can generate free charges by absorbing light. However, not all semiconductors are high performance photovoltaic materials, because the charge carriers with opposite signs, electrons and holes, quickly annihilate each other. High

Broadband Optical Properties of Graphene by Spectroscopic Ellipsometry

December 11, 2015
Author(s)
Wei Li, Nhan Van Nguyen, Guangjun Cheng, Angela R. Hight Walker, David J. Gundlach, Yiran Liang, boyuan Tian, Xuelei Liang, Lian-Mao Peng
The broadband (0.7 eV to 9.0 eV) optical properties of chemical-vapor-deposition (CVD) grown graphene are determined by spectroscopic ellipsometry. The optical absorption follows the fine structure constant in the energy range from 1.0 eV to 2.0 eV, but

Femtosecond synchronization of optical clocks over free-space links

December 11, 2015
Author(s)
Jean-Daniel Deschenes, Laura C. Sinclair, Fabrizio R. Giorgetta, William C. Swann, Esther Baumann, Hugo Bergeron, Michael A. Cermak, Nathan R. Newbury
The use of optical clocks/oscillators in future ultra-precise navigation, gravitational sensing, and relativity experiments will require time comparison and synchronization over terrestrial or satellite free-space links. Here we demonstrate full

Magnetic Structure and Exchange Interactions in Quasi-One-Dimensional MnCl 2 (urea) 2

December 11, 2015
Author(s)
Jamie L. Manson, Qingzhen Huang, Craig Brown, Jeffrey W. Lynn, Matthew B. Stone, John Singleton, Fan Xiao
MnCl 2(urea) 2 is a new linear chain coordination polymer that exhibits slightly counter-rotated MnCl 4 rhomboids along the chain-axis. The material crystallizes in the non-centrosymmetric orthorhombic space group Iba 2, with each Mn(II) ion equatorially

Novel Cyber Physical System for 3D Imaging of the Small Intestine in Vivo

December 11, 2015
Author(s)
Kamran Sayrafian, Kaveh Pahlavan, Yishuang Geng, David Cave, GUANQUN BAO, LIANG MI, EMMANUEL AGU, ANDREW KARELLAS, VAHID TAROKH
Small intestine is the longest organ in the gastrointestinal tract where much of the digestion and the food absorption take place. Wireless video capsule endoscope (VCE) is the first device taking 2-D pictures from the lesions and the abnormalities in the

An Industrial Control System Cybersecurity Performance Testbed

December 10, 2015
Author(s)
Richard Candell, Timothy A. Zimmerman, Keith A. Stouffer
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is developing a cybersecurity performance testbed for industrial control systems. The goal of the testbed is to measure the performance of industrial control systems (ICS) when instrumented with

Charge transfer stabilization of late transition metal oxide nano-particles on a layered niobate support

December 10, 2015
Author(s)
Megan E. Strayer, Thomas Senftle, Jonathan P. Winterstein, Nella M. Vargas-Barbosa, Renu Sharma, Robert M. Rioux, Michael J. Janik, Thomas Mallouk
The interfacial interactions between late transition metal/metal oxide nanoparticles and oxide supports impact catalysts' activity and stability. Here, we report the use of isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), electron microscopy and density functional

Comparison of two methodologies for calibrating satellite instruments in the visible and near-infrared

December 10, 2015
Author(s)
Steven W. Brown, Keith R. Lykke, Robert A. Barnes, Bruce Guenther, James J. Butler, Thomas Schwarting, David Moyer, Frank DeLuccia, Christopher Moeller
Traditionally, satellite instruments that measure Earth-reflected solar radiation in the visible and near infrared wavelength regions have been calibrated for radiance responsivity in a two-step method. In the first step, the relative spectral response

COMPUTATIONAL ENVIRONMENT FOR MODELING AND ENHANCING COMMUNITY RESILIENCE: INTRODUCING THE CENTER FOR RISK-BASED COMMUNITY RESILIENCE PLANNING

December 10, 2015
Author(s)
John W. van de Lindt, Bruce Ellingwood, Therese P. McAllister, Gardoni Paolo, Daniel Cox, Harvey Cutler, Walter G. Peacock
The resilience of a community is defined as its ability to prepare for, withstand, recover from and adapt to the effects of natural or human-caused disasters, and depends on the performance of the built environment and on supporting social, economic and

Electronic Health Record Design Considerations in Responding to Incidences of Highly Infectious Diseases: Clinical Workflows and Exception Handling

December 10, 2015
Author(s)
Svetlana Z. Lowry, Mala Ramaiah, Emily S. Patterson, Latkany A. Paul, Debora Simmons, David Brick, Michael C. Gibbons
Adoption of Electronic Health Record systems in all care settings has become widespread. EHRs can support and revolutionize the way that public health is protected in the event of an outbreak of a highly infectious disease. In particular, EHRs can support

Gapped and Gapless Short-Range-Ordered Magnetic States with (1/2,1/2,1/2) Wave Vectors in the Pyrochlore Magnet Tb 2+x Ti 2-X O 7+d

December 10, 2015
Author(s)
E. Kermarrec, D. D. Maharaj, J. Gaudet, K. Fritsch, D. Pomaranski, J. B. Kycia, Yiming Qiu, John R. Copley, M. M. P. Couchman, A. O. R. Morningstar, H. A. Dabkowska, B. D. Gaulin
Recent low temperature heat capacity (CP ) measurements on polycrystalline samples of the py- rochlore antiferromagnet Tb 2+xTi 2¿xO 7+δ have shown a strong sensitivity to the precise Tb con- centration x, with a large anomaly exhibited for x0.005 at TC0.5
