MSEC: A QUANTITATIVE RETROSPECTIVE

June 25, 2020
Author(s)
Rachael Sexton, Michael Brundage, Alden A. Dima, Michael Sharp
The Manufacturing Science and Engineering Conference (MSEC) in 2020 is the 15th annual conference put on by the Manufacturing Engineering Division (MED) of ASME. MED and ASME MSEC focuses on manufacturing sciences, technology, and applications, including

NIST Privacy Framework: An Overview

June 25, 2020
Author(s)
Kaitlin R. Boeckl, Naomi B. Lefkovitz
This bulletin summarizes the information found in the voluntary NIST Privacy Framework: A Tool for Improving Privacy through Enterprise Risk Management (Version 1.0). The Privacy Framework is a tool developed in collaboration with stakeholders intended to

Operational Measurement Uncertainty and Bayesian Probability Distribution

June 25, 2020
Author(s)
Raghu N. Kacker
The JCGM documents have undermined the operational concept of uncertainty in measurement established by the GUM and restored the pre-GUM practice of stating possible error relative to the true value, supposedly to align with Bayesian interpretation. It is

Cobalt Ferrite Nanoparticle Intercalated Carbon Nanotubes for a Nanomagnetic Ultrasensitive Sensor for Cr-VI in Water

June 24, 2020
Author(s)
Tassew Mekuria, Syed Khalid, Kathryn L. Krycka, Markus Bleuel, Himanshu Verma, Haiping Hong, Shashi P. Karna, Dereje Seifu
Nanocomposites of cobalt ferrite (CFO) magnetic nanoparticles intercalated on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are evaluated as a nanomagnetic ultrasensitive sensor for the environmental toxin, hexavalent chromium (Cr-VI). Specifically, the structural and magnetic

STEP File Analyzer and Viewer User Guide (Update 6)

June 24, 2020
Author(s)
Robert Lipman, Soonjo Kwon
The STEP File Analyzer and Viewer opens a STEP (ISO 10303 - STandard for Exchange of Product model data) Part 21 file and (1) generates a spreadsheet or CSV files of all entity and attribute information, (2) creates a visualization (view) of part geometry

Water-Polyamide Chemical Interplay in Desalination Membranes explored by Ambient Pressure X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy

June 24, 2020
Author(s)
Sabrina Gericke, William D. Mulhearn, Dana E. Goodacre, Joseph Raso, Daniel J. Miller, Lauryn Carver, Slavomir Nemsak, Osman Karslioglu, Lena Trotochaud, Hendrik Bluhm, Christopher Stafford, Christin Buechner
Reverse osmosis using aromatic polyamide membranes is currently the most important technology for seawater desalination. The performance of reverse osmosis membranes is highly dependent on the interplay of their surface chemical groups with water and water

Entangled Polymer Dynamics in Attractive Nanocomposite Melts

June 23, 2020
Author(s)
Erkan Senses, Saeid Darvishi, Madhu Sudan Tyagi, Antonio Faraone
We investigate single chain dynamics of an entangled linear poly (ethylene oxide) melt in presence of well-dispersed attractive nanoparticles using high resolution neutron spectroscopy at particle volume fractions as high as 0.53. The short time dynamics

Dissipative Kerr Solitons in a III-V Microresonator

June 22, 2020
Author(s)
Gregory T. Moille, Lin Chang, Weiqiang Xie, Ashutosh S. Rao, Xiyuan Lu, Marcelo I. Davanco, John E. Bowers, Kartik A. Srinivasan
We demonstrate stable microresonator Kerr solitons in a III-V platform through cryogenic quenching of the thermorefractive effect. Such phase-stable operation is critical to fully exploit the high nonlinearity and low loss available in this platform.

The Impossibility of Efficient Quantum Weak Coin-Flipping

June 22, 2020
Author(s)
Carl A. Miller
How can two parties with competing interests carry out a fair coin flip, using only a noiseless quantum channel? This problem (quantum weak coin-flipping) was formalized more than 15 years ago, and, despite some phenomenal theoretical progress, practical

Thermal Decoherence and Laser Cooling of Kerr-microresonator Solitons

June 22, 2020
Author(s)
Tara E. Drake, Jordan Stone, Travis Briles, Scott Papp
Thermal noise is ubiquitous in microscopic systems and high-precision measurements. The control of thermal noise would reveal quantum regimes1 and enable fundamental physics searches2 . Recently, nonlinearity in microresonators has enabled laser devices

HALO - High Amplification Laser-pressure Optic

June 21, 2020
Author(s)
Alexandra B. Artusio-Glimpse, Kyle A. Rogers, Paul A. Williams, John H. Lehman
Efforts are underway at the National Institute of Standards and Technology to drastically reduce the uncertainty of laser power measurements using radiation pressure. The High Amplification Laser-pressure Optic (HALO) system is a cornerstone of this effort

Simultaneous Transmission and Absorption Photometry of particle-laden filters from Wildland Fires during the Biomass Burning Observation Project (BBOP) field campaign

June 20, 2020
Author(s)
Cary Presser, Ashot Nazarian, Duli Chand, Arthur Sedlacek, John Hubbe
Transmissivity and absorptivity measurements were carried out simultaneously in the visible (wavelength of 532 nm) at laboratory conditions using particle-laden filters obtained from a three-wavelength particle/soot absorption photometer (PSAP). The

A crowdsourced set of curated structural variants for the human genome

June 19, 2020
Author(s)
Lesley M. Chapman, Noah Spies, Patrick Pai, Andrew Carroll, Marc L. Salit, Justin M. Zook
A high quality benchmark for small variants encompassing 88 to 90% of the reference genome has been developed for seven Genome in a Bottle (GIAB) reference samples. However a reliable benchmark for large indels and structural variants (SVs) is more

Dual-comb photoacoustic spectroscopy

June 19, 2020
Author(s)
Jacob T. Friedlein, Esther Baumann, Kimberly Briggman, Gabriel M. Colacion, Fabrizio R. Giorgetta, Daniel I. Herman, Nathan R. Newbury, Jeeseong Hwang, Ian R. Coddington, Kevin C. Cossel, Gabriel Ycas, Christopher Yung, Eli V. Hoenig, Edgar F. Perez, Aaron Goldfain
Spectrally-resolved photoacoustic imaging is a promising technique for label-free imaging in optically scattering materials. However, this technique often requires acquisition of a separate image at each wavelength of interest. This reduces imaging speeds
