Analysis of the systematic force-transmission error of the magnetic-suspension coupling in single-sinker densimeters and commercial gravimetric sorption analyzers

April 23, 2019
Author(s)
Reiner Kleinrahm, Xiaoxian Yang, Mark McLinden, Markus Richter
Here we present an analysis of the force-transmission error for a commercial gravimetric sorption analyzer that applies equally to single-sinker densimeters. Gravimetric sorption analyzers are commonly used for the investigation of gas adsorption on porous

CEGO: C++11 Evolutionary Global Optimization

April 23, 2019
Author(s)
Ian H. Bell
Global optimization is an algorithmic need that is ubiquitous throughout the natural sciences, engineering, and other technical spheres. It is a non-trivial task, particularly when the function to be optimized has many local minima and the optimization

Nenad Ivezic, Boonserm Kulvatunyou, Michael P. Brundage, Yan Lu, Evan K. Wallace, Albert W. Jones
This report summarizes the results from the 2018 NIST/OAGi Workshop: Enabling Composable Service-Oriented Manufacturing Systems, which was held at the National Institute of Standards and Technology campus in Gaithersburg, MD, on April 23-24, 2018. This was

A solid-state source of strongly entangled photon pairs with high brightness and indistinguishability

April 22, 2019
Author(s)
Jin Liu, Rongbin Su, Yuming Wei, Beimeng Yao, Saimon Filipe Covre da Silva, Ying Yu, Jake Iles-Smith, Kartik Srinivasan, Armando Rastelli, Juntao Li, Xuehua Wang
The generation of high-quality entangled photon pairs has been being a long-sought goal in modern quan-tum communication and computation. To date, the most widely-used entangled photon pairs are gener-ated from spontaneous parametric downconversion, a

An Approach to T-way Test Sequence Generation With Constraints

April 22, 2019
Author(s)
Raghu N. Kacker, David R. Kuhn
In this paper we address the problem of constraint handling in t-way test sequence generation. We develop a notation for specifying sequencing constraints and present a t-way test sequence generation that handles the constraints specified in this notation

Applying Combinatorial Testing to Large-scale Data Processing at Adobe

April 22, 2019
Author(s)
Raghu N. Kacker, David R. Kuhn, Riley Smith
Adobe offers an analytics product as part of the Marketing Cloud software with which customers can track many details about users across various digital platforms. For the most part, customers define the amount and type of data to track. This high

BowTie - A deep learning feedforward neural network for sentiment analysis

April 22, 2019
Author(s)
Apostol T. Vassilev
How to model and encode the semantics of human-written text and select the type of neural network to process it with are not settled issues in sentiment analysis. Accuracy and transferability are critical issues in machine learning in general. These

Certification of SRM 2497: Standard Reference Concrete for Rheological Measurements

April 22, 2019
Author(s)
Nicos Martys, Max A. Peltz, William L. George, Blaza Toman, Edward J. Garboczi, Chiara Ferraris
Rotational rheometers are commonly used to determine the rheological properties of fluids such as viscosity and yield stress [Fer12]. Manufacturers generally recommend the use of a standard oil of known viscosity to verify that the instrument is operating

Microcontroller based scanning transfer cavity lock with environmental compensation

April 22, 2019
Author(s)
Sarthak Subhankar, Alessandro Restelli, Yang Wang, Steve Rolston, James V. Porto
We present a compact, cost-effective, and all-digital implementation of a scanning transfer cavity lock (STCL) for long term laser frequency stabilization. An interrupt-based, event-centric state machine is employed to realize the STCL, with the capability

Using Parameter Mapping to Avoid Forbidden Tuples in a Covering Array

April 22, 2019
Author(s)
Raghu N. Kacker, David R. Kuhn, Yu Lei
This paper addresses an optimization problem that occurs when we try to remove from a covering array (CA) the rows that do not satisfy a given set of constraints. That is, how to minimize the number of rows to be removed? The key observation is that the

Energy Renormalization for Coarse-Graining Polymers Having Different Segmental Structures

April 19, 2019
Author(s)
Jack F. Douglas, Wenjie Xia, Nitin K. Hansoge, Wen-Sheng Xu, Sinan Keten, Frederick R. Phelan Jr.
We apply the recently developed energy renormalization (ER) method to coarse-graining representative polymer melts having a relatively low, intermediate and high degree of glass fragility, i.e., polybutadiene, polystyrene, and polycarbonate, respectively

Induced quantum dot probe for materials characterization

April 19, 2019
Author(s)
Hilary M. Hurst, Yun-Pil Shim, Rusko Ruskov, Charles Tahan
We propose a non-destructive means of characterizing a semiconductor wafer via measuring parameters of an induced quantum dot on the material system of interest with a separate probe chip that can also house the measurement circuitry. We show that a single

Vetting the Security of Mobile Applications
