Effects of Environmental Temperature and Humidity on the Geometry and Strength of Polycarbonate Specimens Prepared by Fused Filament Fabrication

October 3, 2020
Author(s)
Lichen Fang, Yan Yishu, Ojaswi Agarwal, shengyu Yao, Jonathan Seppala, Sung Hoon Kang
It is widely known that the printing quality of fused filament fabrication (FFF) is heavily affected by environmental temperature and humidity, as the case of warping and porosity. However, there is little understanding about the quantitative relations

False Alarm Testing for Radiation Detection Systems

October 2, 2020
Author(s)
Dennis D. Leber, Leticia S. Pibida
An operator of a radiation detection system that displays a high rate of false alarms may be- come desensitized to these alarms. This action is known as alarm fatigue and can have detri- mental results as the operator may cease to respond to what may be

Optimizing Magnetically Shielded Solenoids for Large Volume 3 He Neutron Spin Filters

October 2, 2020
Author(s)
Wangchun Chen, Md. Hassan, Ross Erwin, Shannon M. Watson, Thomas R. Gentile, G. L. Jones
An important consideration when designing a magnetostatic cavity for various applications is to maximize the ratio of the volume of field homogeneity to the overall size of the cavity. We report a design of a magnetically shielded solenoid that

A Case Study of Medical Device Wireless Coexistence Evaluation

October 1, 2020
Author(s)
Mohamed Al-Kalaa, Joshua Guag, Seth Seidman, Yao Ma, Jason Coder
This article aims to provide a narrative for addressing wireless coexistence in medical devices to help medical device developers, test engineers, and regulatory affairs personnel throughout the device life cycle. Accordingly, we present a case-study

Assessment of plastic ingestion by pole-caught pelagic predatory fish around Oahu, Hawaii

October 1, 2020
Author(s)
K D. Hyrenbach, Zora McGinnis, Kathleen Paige, Dan Rapp, F. D. Horgen, Jennifer Lynch
While the occurrence of plastic ingestion in the large-sized dolphinfish and tunas taken by the Hawaii longline fishery is very low ( 5 %), the ingestion rates for the smaller fish caught with pole-and-line have not been documented. This study examined

Domain Interactions Determine the Conformational Ensemble of the Periplasmic Chaperone SurA

October 1, 2020
Author(s)
Dagan C. Marx, Mathis J. Leblanc, Ashlee M. Plummer, Susan T. Krueger, Karen G. Fleming
SurA is thought to be the most important periplasmic chaperone for outer membrane protein biogenesis. Its structure is composed of a core region and two peptidylprolyl isomerase domains, termed P1 and P2, connected by flexible linkers. As such these three

SCALABLE THERMAL SIMULATION OF POWDER BED FUSION

October 1, 2020
Author(s)
Paul Witherell, Vadim Shapiro, Yaqi Zhang
Powder bed fusion (PBF) has become a widely used additive manufacturing (AM) technology to produce metallic parts. As the PBF process is driven by a moving heat source, consistency in part production, particularly when varying geometries, has proven

Simplified kilogram traceability for photon momentum radiometers

October 1, 2020
Author(s)
Kyle A. Rogers, Paul A. Williams, Gordon A. Shaw, John H. Lehman
High power laser applications in areas such as laser processing of materials can require an accurately measured laser power. Radiation pressure-based laser power measurement has been proven as a practical method for quantifying these high-power levels in

Comparing Instruments

September 30, 2020
Author(s)
James H. Yen, Dennis D. Leber, Leticia S. Pibida
This document details methods to compare instrument performance. Comparison methods for instruments outputting binary (0-1) responses as well as for instruments outputting continuous numeric responses are shown, first for two instruments and then for
