Combinatorial Testing of ACTS: A Case Study

April 21, 2012
Author(s)
Mehra N. Borazjany, Linbin Yu, Yu Lei, Raghu N. Kacker, D. Richard Kuhn
In this paper we present a case study of applying combinatorial testing to test a combinatorial test generation tool called ACTS. The purpose of this study is two-fold. First, we want to gain experience and insights about how to apply combinatorial testing

Mercury Stable Isotopes in Seabird Eggs Reflect a Gradient from Terrestrial Geogenic to Oceanic Mercury Reservoirs

April 21, 2012
Author(s)
Russell D. Day, David G. Roseneau, Sylvain Berail, Keith A. Hobson, O.F.X Donard, Stacy S. Schuur, Rebecca S. Pugh, Amanda J. Moors, Stephen E. Long, Paul R. Becker
Elevated mercury concentrations ([Hg]) were found in Alaskan seabird eggs (Uria spp.) from the coastal embayment of Norton Sound relative to insular colonies in the northern Bering Sea. Stable isotopes of Hg, carbon (C), and nitrogen (N) were measured in

Prediction of the mass loss rate of polymer materials: Impact of residue formation

April 21, 2012
Author(s)
Gregory T. Linteris, Bernhard Schartel, Florian Kempel, Stanislav Stoliarov, Richard E. Lyon, Richard N. Walters, Anja Hofmann
Two different numerical simulation tools, Fire Dynamic Simulator (FDS) and ThermaKin, are investigated with respect to their capability to predict the mass loss rate of polymer materials exposed to different fires. For validation, gasification apparatus

Three-dimensional Shape Metrology for Tissue Engineering

April 21, 2012
Author(s)
Joy P. Dunkers, Antonio M. Possolo, Thomas V. Lafarge, Beatriz Pateiro-Lopez, Jeffrey Coles, Carl G. Simon Jr.
The physical and chemical properties of a tissue scaffold influences cell response and therefore the success of the resulting tissue construct. Scaffold structure from nanometers to millimeters can direct cell behavior, from viability to proliferation to

Graphene Oxide Derived Carbons (GODCs): Synthesis and Gas Adsorption Properties

April 20, 2012
Author(s)
Gadipelli Srinivas, Jacob Burress, Taner Yildirim
We report synthesis of a range of high surface area graphene oxide derived carbons (GODCs) and their applications toward carbon capture and methane storage. We obtain largely increased surface areas up to nearly 1900 m 2/g for GODC samples from 10 m 2/g of

Magic-state distillation with the four-qubit code

April 20, 2012
Author(s)
Adam M. Meier, Bryan K. Eastin, Emanuel H. Knill
The distillation of magic states is an often-cited technique for enabling universal quantum computing once the error rate for a special subset of gates has been made negligible by other means. We present a routine for magic-state distillation that reduces

Matrix-based color measurement corrections of tristimulus colorimeters

April 20, 2012
Author(s)
George P. Eppeldauer, Z. T. Kosztyan, J. D. Schanda
For image taking colorimetry the tristimulus technique is still the best practical method to keep the measurement time within reasonable limits. However, the achievable color measurement uncertainties for special sources can be significant because of the

Quantum interference between two single photons of different microwave frequencies

April 20, 2012
Author(s)
Francois E. Nguyen, Eva A. Zakka-Bajjani, Jose A. Aumentado, Raymond W. Simmonds
Quantum interference is an important tool for fields such as lithography, metrology and quantum processing. Two identical optical photons (photons with the same wavelength and polarization) simultaneously sent through the two input ports of a semi

Single-photon and photon-number-resolving detectors

April 20, 2012
Author(s)
Richard P. Mirin, Sae Woo Nam, Mark Itzler
Several important advances were reported in single-photon detectors and photon-number-resolving detectors in 2011. New materials with smaller superconducting gaps were demonstrated for superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) that led to

Can We Get 3D CD Metrology Right?

April 19, 2012
Author(s)
Andras Vladar, John S. Villarrubia, Michael T. Postek, Petr Cizmar
Our world is three-dimensional, so are the integrated circuits (ICs), they have always been. In the past, for a long time, we’ve been very fortunate, because it was enough to measure the critical dimension (CD), the width of the resist line to keep IC
