A Metrology Foundation for 3D Ballistic Imaging - NIJ Final Technical Report

September 1, 2021
Author(s)
Michael Stocker, Johannes Soons, Thomas Renegar, Xiaoyu Zheng, Robert Thompson
Forensic laboratories considering optical 3D surface topography measurement for objective comparison and VCM face challenges with respect to cost, training, and quality assurance. The primary aim of this research was to address quality assurance issues

September 1, 2021
Author(s)
Kristina Kvashnina, Yoshiyuki Amemiya, Dibyendu Bhattacharyya, Ingolf Lindau, Andrew J. Allen
This is an Editorial for the Journal of Synchrotron Radiation (JSR) to inform all readers, authors and supporters about the coming transition of the journal to become fully open access. All papers submitted to JSR after 1 October 2021, will be for open

Basic Recommendations For HVAC Cybersecurity

September 1, 2021
Author(s)
Michael Galler
Cybersecurity has been a topic of increasing importance for several years. While fully securing a large system can be very complicated, there are some basic precautions that can easily be applied to any system. The purpose of this document is to briefly

Evaluation of existing infiltration models used in building energy simulation

September 1, 2021
Author(s)
Yeonjin Bae, Jaewan Joe, Seungjae Lee, Piljae Im, Lisa Ng
Infiltration modeling is one of the major sources of uncertainty in building energy simulation. Although many infiltration models exist, their structures and assumptions vary, and many of them are inaccurate for commercial buildings. The use of these

Magnetic proximity effect in magnetic-insulator/heavy-metal heterostructures across the compensation temperature

September 1, 2021
Author(s)
Jackson Bauer, Patrick Quarterman, Alexander Grutter, Bharat Khurana, Subhajit Kundu, K. Mkhoyan, Julie A. Borchers, Caroline Ross
The magnetic proximity effect in Pt and W thin films grown on Dy3Fe5O12 (DyIG) is examined at temperatures above and below the magnetic compensation temperature of the ferrimagnetic insulator. Polarized neutron reflectometry indicates that the proximity

Nanopore sensing: a physical-chemical approach

September 1, 2021
Author(s)
Joseph W. Robertson, Madhav Ghimire, Joseph Reiner
Protein nanopores have emerged as an important class of sensor, for the understanding of biophysical processes, such as molecular transport across membranes, and detection and characterization of biopolymers. We trace the development of these sensors from

Neural Networks Based Domain Name Generation

September 1, 2021
Author(s)
Zheng Wang, Yang Guo
Domain generation algorithm (DGA) is commonly used to dynamically produce a large number of random domain names and select a small subset for actual use. DGA provides a method to make DNS mapping elusive and thereby make countermeasures ineffective. Modern

Searching for Answers in a Pandemic: An Overview of TREC-COVID

September 1, 2021
Author(s)
Ellen Voorhees, Ian Soboroff, Kirk Roberts, Tasmeer Alam, Steven Bedrick, Dina Demner-Fushman, Kyle Lo, Lucy L. Wang, William Hersh
We present an overview of the TREC-COVID Challenge, an information retrieval (IR) shared task to evaluate search on scientific literature related to COVID-19. The goals of TREC-COVID include the construction of a pandemic search test collection and the

SHARING STANDARDIZED COMPOSITE MATERIAL DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING INFORMATION

September 1, 2021
Author(s)
Allison Barnard Feeney, Keith A. Hunten
Composite structures have been developed for use in aerospace, automotive, sports and marine industries since the early 1940s. Compared to conventional metallic structures, high-performance composite structures provide benefits such as decreased weight and

The YcnI protein from Bacillus subtilis contains a copper-binding domain

September 1, 2021
Author(s)
Madhura Damle, Stephen Peters, Veronika Szalai, Oriana Fisher
Bacteria require a precise balance of copper ions to ensure that essential cuproproteins are fully metalated while also avoiding copper-induced toxicity. The Gram-positive bacterium Bacillus subtilis maintains appropriate copper homeostasis in part through

Voice Biometrics: Future Trends and ChallengesAhead

September 1, 2021
Author(s)
Doug Reynolds, Craig Greenberg
Voice has become woven into the fabric of everyday human-computer interactions via ubiquitous assistants like Siri, Alexa, Google, Bixby, Viv, etc. The use of voice will only accelerate as speech interfaces move to wearables \citestarner2002role}, vehicles

Assessing Industrial Robot agility through international competitions

August 31, 2021
Author(s)
Anthony Downs, Zeid Kootbally, William Harrison, Pavlo Piliptchak, Brian Antonishek, Murat Aksu, Craig I. Schlenoff
Manufacturing and Industrial Robotics have reached a point where in order to be more useful to small and medium sized manufacturers, the systems must become more agile and able to adapt to changes in the environment. This paper describes the process for

Origin of enhanced water oxidation activity in an iridium single atom anchored on NiFe oxyhydroxide catalyst

August 31, 2021
Author(s)
Xueli Zheng, Jing Tang, Allesandro Gallo, Jose A. Garrido Torres, Xiaoyun Yu, Peter Ercius, Haiyan Mao, Emily Been, Constantine J. Athanitis, Sirine C. Fakra, Chengyu Song, Ryan Davis, Jeffrey A. Reimer, John Vinson, Michal Bajdich, Yi Cui
The efficiency of the synthesis of renewable fuels and feedstocks from electrical sources is limited, at present, by the sluggish water oxidation reaction. Single-atom catalysts (SACs) with a controllable coordination environment and exceptional atom
