Surface mediated assembly of small, metastable gold nanoclusters

May 27, 2013
Author(s)
John M. Pettibone, William A. Osborn, Konrad Rykaczewski, Albert A. Talin, John E. Bonevich, Jeffrey W. Hudgens
The unique properties of metallic nanoclusters are attractive for numerous commercial and industrial applications but are generally less stable than nanocrystals. Thus, developing methodologies for stabilizing nanoclusters and retaining their enhanced

The Development and Implementation of Quality Assurance Programs to Support Nutritional Measurements

May 24, 2013
Author(s)
Lane C. Sander, Mary Bedner, David L. Duewer, Katrice A. Lippa, Melissa M. Phillips, Karen W. Phinney, Catherine A. Rimmer, Michele M. Schantz, Katherine E. Sharpless, Susan Tai, Jeanice M. Brown Thomas, Stephen A. Wise, Laura J. Wood, J. M. Betz, Paul M. Coates
The National Institute of Standards and Technology administers quality assurance programs devoted to improving measurements of nutrients and related metabolites in foods, dietary supplements, and serum and plasma samples. These programs have been developed

Development of Botanical and Marine Oil Standard Reference Materials for Fatty Acids

May 15, 2013
Author(s)
Michele M. Schantz, Lane C. Sander, Katherine E. Sharpless, Stephen A. Wise, James H. Yen, A. NguyenPho, Joseph M. Betz
As part of a collaboration with the National Institutes of Health’s Office of Dietary Supplements and the Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, the National Institute of Standards and Technology has developed Standard

Precision metrology with coherent dual frequency combs

May 12, 2013
Author(s)
Nathan R. Newbury, Esther Baumann, Ian R. Coddington, Fabrizio R. Giorgetta, Greg B. Rieker, Laura C. Sinclair, William C. Swann, Alexander M. Zolot
Frequency combs have enabled a wide range of applications because of their unique combination of coherence and broad bandwidth. The comb provides 100,000's of comb teeth at precise, well-known optical frequencies that can support broadband accurate

An Interlaboratory Investigation of the Effect of Material Granularity and Sample Processing on Measurement Variability: Nutritional Elements in Cereals

May 9, 2013
Author(s)
Katrice A. Lippa, Laura J. Wood, Stefan D. Leigh, Nathanael A. Heckert
This interlaboratory study was uniquely designed to determine the effects of material granularity and sample processing techniques on the measurement variability (i.e. precision) of nutritional elements in various cereal materials. Participants were asked

Differential cavity ring-down spectroscopy

May 9, 2013
Author(s)
Jeremie B. Courtois, Katarzyna E. Bielska, Joseph T. Hodges
We present a technique called differential cavity ring-down spectroscopy (D-CRDS) for reducing etaloning effects in a ring-down spectrometer. The method relies on alternately measuring and then subtracting intra-cavity losses associated with pairwise TEM00

Light-Wave Mixing with Quantum Gases

May 1, 2013
Author(s)
Lu Deng, Edward W. Hagley, R Q. Wang, Charles W. Clark
Nonlinear optics has come a long way since the laser. This article reviews recent progress in coherent light-matter wave mixing and introduces some new concepts that will reframe future research directions.

Frequency-agile, rapid scanning spectroscopy

April 28, 2013
Author(s)
Gar W. Truong, Kevin O. Douglass, Stephen E. Maxwell, Roger D. van Zee, David F. Plusquellic, Joseph T. Hodges, David A. Long
Challenging applications in trace gas analyses require high precision and acquisition rates.1-4 Many continuous-wave laser spectroscopy techniques exhibit significant sensitivity and potential;5 however, their scanning rates are slow because they rely upon

Universal Proteolysis and MSn for N- and O- Glycan Branching Analysis

April 20, 2013
Author(s)
John E. Schiel, Karen W. Phinney, Nicholas J. Smith
The continually growing list of critical glycosylation-related processes has made analytical methodology for detailed glycan characterization an area of increasing interest. Glycosylation is a post translational modification of unsurpassed complexity due

A simple and sensitive HPLC-ICP-MS method for the accurate determination of Vitamin B12 in Fortified Breakfast Cereals and Multivitamin Tablet Reference Materials

April 10, 2013
Author(s)
Siva K. Chinthalapati, Lee L. Yu, John E. Schiel, Stephen E. Long
A sensitive high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) method has been developed for the determination of vitamin B12. The method was based on efficient isocratic separation with a

Evaluation of Pacific White Shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) Health During a Superintensive Aquaculture Growout using NMR-based Metabolomics

March 27, 2013
Author(s)
Tracey B. Schock, Dan Bearden, Jessica Duke, Abby Goodson, Daryl Weldon, Jeff Brunson, John Leffler
Success of the shrimp aquaculture industry requires technological advances that increase production and environmental sustainability. Indoor, superintensive, aquaculture systems have been developed that permit year-round production of farmed shrimp at high
