Viscosity Measurements of Aviation Turbine Fuels

September 3, 2015
Author(s)
Tara J. Fortin, Arno D. Laesecke
Kinematic viscosity has been measured for nine separate aviation turbine fuel samples. The nine samples span the range of fuel types available: conventional petroleum-derived fuels, synthetic fuels derived from the Fischer-Tropsch process, and renewable

Perceptual expertise in forensic facial image comparison

September 2, 2015
Author(s)
P J. Phillips, David White, Alice O'Toole, Carina A. Hahn, Matthew Hill
Forensic facial identification examiners are required to match the identity of faces in images that vary substantially, owing to changes in viewing conditions and in a person's appearance. These identifications affect the course and out- come of criminal

Conductance Hysteresis in the Voltage-Dependent Anion Channel

September 1, 2015
Author(s)
Shay M. Rappaport, Oscar Teijido, David Hoogerheide, Tatiana K. Rostovtseva, Alexander M. Berezhkovskii, Sergey M. Bezrukov
In contrast to the voltage gating of ion-selective channels of electrophysiology, the mechanisms of voltage sensitivity of ¿large¿ beta-barrel channels remain obscure, even at the conceptual level. Here we study hysteresis in the conductance response of

Correction for stray light in optical spectroscopy of crystals

September 1, 2015
Author(s)
Richard W. Hendler, Curtis Meuse, David Travis Gallagher, Joerg Labahn, Jan Kubicek, Paul D. Smith, John W. Kakareka
It has long been known in spectroscopy that light not passing through a sample, but reaching the detector (i.e. stray light) results in a distortion of the spectrum known as absorption- flattening. In spectroscopy with crystals, one must either include

EIT Quantum Memory with Cs Atomic Vapor for Quantum Communication

September 1, 2015
Author(s)
Lijun Ma, Oliver T. Slattery, Paulina S. Kuo, Xiao Tang
Quantum memory is a key device in the implementation of quantum repeaters for quantum communications and quantum networks. We demonstrated a quantum memory based on electromagnetically-induced transparency (EIT) in a warm cesium atomic cell. The quantum
