Large Outdoor Fires and the Built Environment (LOF&BE): Summary of Virtual Workshop

November 4, 2020
Author(s)
Samuel L. Manzello, Sayaka Suzuki, Sara McAllister, Brian Lattimer, Daniel Gorham, Alexander Filkov, Maria Theodori, Xinyan Huang
Two virtual workshops of the permanent working group, sponsored by the International Association for Fire Safety Science (IAFSS), entitled Large Outdoor Fires and the Built Environment (LOF&BE), were held this past August (2020). The first session was held

Modeling Hierarchical Systems with Operads

November 4, 2020
Author(s)
Spencer Breiner, Olivier Marie Rose, Blake S. Pollard, Eswaran Subrahmanian
This paper applies operads and functorial semantics to address the problem of failure diagnosis in complex systems. We start with a concrete example, developing a hierarchical interaction model for the Length Scale Interferometer, a high-precision

Noise Influence on Scattering-Parameter Measurements

November 4, 2020
Author(s)
Dazhen Gu, Jeffrey A. Jargon, Matthew J. Ryan, Anouk Hubrechsen
We present a general model of noise-influenced scattering (S) parameter measurements performed by a vector network analyzer (VNA). The residual error of the S-parameter due to the noise appears like a complex Gaussian quotient. The statistical analysis of

ENABLING TRACEABILITY IN AGRI-FOOD SUPPLY CHAINS USING AN ONTOLOGICAL APPROACH

November 3, 2020
Author(s)
Evan K. Wallace, Farhad Ameri, Reid Yoder
Traceability of food products to their sources is critical for quick responses to a food emergency. US law now requires stakeholders in the agri-food supply chain to support traceabil-ity by tracking food materials they acquire and sell. However, having

Error Quantification in Dynamic Applications of Weakly Nonlinear Transducers

November 3, 2020
Author(s)
Lautaro D. Cilenti, Akobuije Chijioke, Balakumar Balachandran
Characterization and quantification of dynamic measurements is an ongoing area of research in the metrological community as new calibration methods are being developed to address dynamic measurement applications. The development undertaken to date largely

Multiphase Magnetism in Yb 2 Ti 2 O 7

Author(s)
Allen Scheie, Jonas Kindervater, Shu Zhang, Hitesh Changlani, G. Sala, Georg Ehlers, Andre Heinemann, Gregory Tucker, Seyed Koohpayeh, Collin L. Broholm

Cryogenic Calibration of a Quantum-based Radio Frequency Source

November 2, 2020
Author(s)
Alirio De Jesus Soares Boaventura, Justus Brevik, Dylan Williams, Anna Fox, Manuel Castellanos Beltran, Pete Hopkins, Paul Dresselhaus, Samuel P. Benz
We report on the calibration of quantum-based radio frequency waveforms generated by a Josephson arbitrary waveform synthesizer system. We measure these waveforms using a vector network analyzer and calibrate them at 4 K using a custom-designed cryogenic

Efficient photoinduced second-harmonic generation in silicon nitride photonics

November 2, 2020
Author(s)
Xiyuan Lu, Gregory Moille, Ashutosh Rao, Daron Westly, Kartik Srinivasan
Silicon photonics lacks a second-order nonlinear optical (chi(2)) response in general because the typical constituent materials are centro-symmetric and lack inversion symmetry, which prohibits chi(2) nonlinear processes such as second harmonic generation

Endothermic reaction at room temperature enabled by deep-ultraviolet plasmons

November 2, 2020
Author(s)
Canhui Wang, Wei-Chang Yang, David Raciti, Alina Bruma, Ronald Marx, Amit Agrawal, Renu Sharma
Sequestration and conversion of CO2 is a promising method for remedying climate change. However, current technologies remain limited due to infeasible system demands and outputs, such as high-temperature/pressure conditions, use of precious metals, or low

Zero-valent iron sand filtration can reduce human and plant pathogenic bacteria while increasing plant growth promoting bacteria in reclaimed water

November 2, 2020
Author(s)
Prachi Kulkarni, Nathanael David Olson, Joseph N. Paulson, Emmanuel F. Mongodin, Mihai Pop, Amy R. Sapkota
The increasing use of reclaimed water for irrigation in areas that lack access to advanced wastewater treatment and reclaimed water distribution systems calls for an examination of irrigation-site-based treatment technologies that can improve the quality

Characterization of Long-Term Sub-Hourly Thermal Comfort Performance Data

November 1, 2020
Author(s)
Hyojin Kim, Lisa Ng, Brian P. Dougherty, William V. Payne
Current thermal comfort standards do not provide guidelines on how to graphically characterize and benchmark long-term, sub-hourly, thermal comfort. In an effort to address this void, several statistical characterizations and advanced visualization methods

Materials Research & Measurement Needs for Ceramics Additive Manufacturing

November 1, 2020
Author(s)
Andrew J. Allen, Igor Levin, Suzanne E. Witt
We report on a recent workshop dedicated to additive manufacturing (AM) of ceramics that was held at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in November 2019. This two- day all-invited meeting brought together experts from industry

A micromirror array with annular partitioning for high-speed random-access axial focusing

October 29, 2020
Author(s)
Nathan T. Ersumo, Cem Yalcin, Nick Antipa, Nicolas Pegard, Laura Waller, Omar D. Lopez, Rikky Muller
Dynamic axial focusing functionality has recently seen widespread incorporation in microscopy, augmented/virtual reality (AR/VR), adaptive optics, and material processing. Yet the limitations of existing varifocal tools continue to beset the performance

AMB2018-03: Benchmark Physical Property Measurements for Material Extrusion Additive Manufacturing of Polycarbonate

October 29, 2020
Author(s)
Daniel P. Cole, Frank Gardea, Todd C. Henry, Jonathan Seppala, Edward Garboczi, Kalman D. Migler, Christopher M. Shumeyko, Jeffery R. Westrich, Sara Orski, Jeffery L. Gair
Material extrusion (MatEx) is finding increasing applications in additive manufacturing of thermoplastics due to the ease of use and the ability to process disparate polymers. Since part strength is anisotropic and frequently deviates negatively with
