Tara E. Drake, Travis Briles, Daryl T. Spencer II, Jordan R. Stone, David R. Carlson, Daniel D. Hickstein, Qing Li, Daron A. Westly, Kartik A. Srinivasan, Scott A. Diddams, Scott B. Papp
Kerr microresonators generate interesting and useful fundamental states of electromagnetic radiation through nonlinear interactions of continuous-wave (CW) laser light. When implemented with photonic-integration techniques, functional devices with low

SCAP Composer: A DITA Open Toolkit Plug-in for Packaging Security Content

August 9, 2019
Author(s)
Joshua Lubell
The Security Content Automation Protocol (SCAP) schema for source data stream collections standardizes the requirements for packaging Extensible Markup Language (XML) security content into bundles for easy deployment. SCAP bundles must be self-contained

Standardization of I-124 by three liquid scintillation-based methods

August 9, 2019
Author(s)
Denis E. Bergeron, Leticia S. Pibida, Brian E. Zimmerman, Jeffrey T. Cessna, Ryan P. Fitzgerald
A solution of 124I was standardized for activity by 4πβ(LS)-γ(NaI) live-timed anticoincidence (LTAC) counting, with confirmatory measurements by triple-to-double coincidence ratio (TDCR) and CIEMAT-NIST efficiency tracing (CNET) liquid scintillation

Disentangling Polymer Network and Hydration Water Dynamics in Polyhydroxyethyl Methacrylate Physical and Chemical Hydrogels

August 8, 2019
Author(s)
Daria Noferini, Antonio Faraone, Marta Rossi, Eugene Mamontov, Emiliano Fratini, Piero Baglioni
Cross-linker nature and water content may impact the microscopic dynamics of hydrogels components, and thus their properties in applications such as drug-delivery. To investigate this aspect, we used quasi-elastic neutron scattering with contrast variation

The role of molecular modeling & simulation in the discovery and deployment of metal-organic frameworks for gas storage and separation

August 8, 2019
Author(s)
Arni Sturluson, Melanie Huynh, Alec Kaija, Caleb Laird, Sunghyun Yoon, Feier Hou, Zhenxing Feng, Christopher E. Wilmer, Yamil J. Colon, Yongchul G. Chung, Daniel Siderius, Cory M. Simon
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are highly tunable, extended-network, crystalline, nanoporous materials with applications in gas storage, separations, and sensing. We review how molecular models and simulations of gas adsorption in MOFs have lucidly

Unusual Regularity in GC Retention of Simple Amino Acid Derivatives

August 8, 2019
Author(s)
Anzor I. Mikaia, Nino G. Todua, Zenkevich G. Igor
Background. Application of simple regularities and the general principles along with direct use of reference retention index data is a useful approach for reliable structure determination of compounds by GC-MS. Objective. Interpretation of anomaly in

Determining Forensic Data Requirements for Detecting Hypervisor Attacks

Author(s)
Changwei Liu, Anoop Singhal, Ramaswamy Chandramouli, Duminda Wijesekera
Hardware/Server virtualization is a key feature of data centers used for cloud computing services and enterprise computing that enables ubiquitous access to shared system resources. Server virtualization is typically performed by a hypervisor, which

Low-Temperature Rotational Tunneling of Tetrahydroborate Anions in Lithium Benzimidazolate-Borohydride Li 2 (blm)BH 4

We have demonstrated atomically thin, quantum capacitance-limited, field-effect transistors (FETs) that enable the detection of pH changes with 75-fold higher sensitivity (4.4 V/pH) over the Nernst value of 59 mV/pH at room temperature when used as a

Security Strategies for Microservices-based Application Systems

August 7, 2019
Author(s)
Ramaswamy Chandramouli
Microservices architecture is increasingly being used to develop application systems since its smaller codebase facilitates faster code development, testing, and deployment as well as optimization of the platform based on the type of microservice, support

Situational Awareness for Electric Utilities

James J. McCarthy, Otis Alexander, Sallie Edwards, Don Faatz, Chris Peloquin, Susan Symington, Andre Thibault, John Wiltberger, Karen Viani
Through direct dialogue between NCCoE staff and members of the energy sector (comprised mainly of electric power companies and those who provide equipment and/or services to them) it became clear that energy companies need to create and maintain a high

A microrod optical-frequency reference in the ambient environment
