Inter-comparison of Atmospheric Trace Gas Dispersion Models: Barnett Shale Case Study

February 28, 2019
Author(s)
Anna Karion, Thomas Lauvaux, Israel Lopez Coto, Colm Sweeney, Kimberly L. Mueller, Sharon M. Gourdji, Wayne Angevine, Zachary R. Barkley, Aijun Deng, Ariel Stein, James R. Whetstone
Greenhouse gas emissions mitigation requires understanding dominant processes controlling fluxes of these trace gases into the atmosphere at increasingly finer spatial and temporal scales. Trace gas fluxes can be estimated using a variety of approaches

Neutron Instruments for Research in Coordination Chemistry

February 28, 2019
Author(s)
Zi-Ling Xue, Anibal J. Ramirez-Cuesta, Craig Brown, Stuart Calder, Huibo Cao, Bryan C. Chakoumakos, Luke L. Daemen, Ashfia Huq, Alexander I. Kolesnikov, Eugene Mamontov, Andrey A Podlesnyak, Xiaoping Wang
Neutron diffraction and spectroscopies offer unique insight into structures and properties of solids and molecular materials. All neutron instruments located at the various neutron sources are distinct, even if their designs are based on similar principles

Measurement of the impact of turbulence anisoplanatism on precision free-space optical time transfer

February 27, 2019
Author(s)
William C. Swann, Martha I. Bodine, Isaac H. Khader, Jean-Daniel Deschenes, Esther Baumann, Laura C. Sinclair, Nathan R. Newbury
Future highly precise free-space optical clock networks will require optically-based two-way time and frequency transfer links. As these networks extend over longer distances, they will include links between moving platforms, e.g. ground-to-air or ground

Open Speech Analytic Technologies Pilot Evaluation OpenSAT Pilot

February 27, 2019
Author(s)
Frederick R. Byers, Jonathan G. Fiscus, Seyed Omid Sadjadi, Gregory A. Sanders, Mark A. Przybocki
Open Speech Analytic Technologies Pilot Evaluation (OpenSAT) is a new speech analytic technology evaluation series organized by NIST that will begin with a pilot evaluation in the Spring of 2017. The pilot includes three tasks: Speech Activity Detection

Probing Magnetic Excitations in Co^II^ Single-Molecule Magnets by Inelastic Neutron Scattering

February 27, 2019
Author(s)
Shelby E. Stavretis, Yongqiang Cheng, Luke L. Daemen, Craig Brown, Duncan H. Moseley, Eckhard Bill, Mihail Atanasov, A. J. Ramirez-Cuesta, Frank Neese, Zi-Ling Xue
Co(acac) 2(H 2O) 2 (1 acac = acetylacetonate), a transition metal complex (S = 3/2), displays field-induced slow magnetic relaxation as a single-molecule magnet (SMMs). For 1 and its isotopologues Co(acac) 2(D 2O) 2 (1-d 4^) and Co(acac-d 7) 2(D 2O) 2 (1-D

A-UGV Capabilities - Recommended Guide to Autonomy Levels

February 26, 2019
Author(s)
Roger V. Bostelman, Elena R. Messina
A-UGV has been defined by ASTM Committee F45 as an "Automatic, Automated, or Autonomous vehicle that operates while in contact with the ground without a human operator." However, what do the levels actually mean to manufacturers, users, or especially

Lower critical solution temperature in polyelectrolyte coacervates

February 26, 2019
Author(s)
Samim Ali, Markus Bleuel, Vivek Prabhu
Model linear oppositely-charged polyelectrolyte complexes exhibit a lower critical solution temperature. The coexist-ence curves narrow with increasing monovalent salt concentration (Cs) that lowers the polymer concentration (Cp) in the polymer-rich phase

Evidence for moire excitons in van der Waals heterostructures

February 25, 2019
Author(s)
Kha Tran, Galan Moody, Travis M. Autry, Kevin L. Silverman, Fengcheng Wu, Junho Choi, Akshay Singh, Jacob Embley, Andre Zepeda, Marshall Cambel, Kyoung Kim, Amritesh Rai, Daniel Sanchez, Takashi Taniguchi, Kenji Watanabe, Li Yang, Nanshu Lu, Sanjay Banerjee, emanuel tutuc, Allan H. MacDonald, Xiaoqin Li
Recent advances in the isolation and stacking of monolayers of van der Waals materials have provided approaches for the preparation of quantum materials in the ultimate two-dimensional limit. In van der Waals heterostructures formed by stacking two

Guide to Attribute Based Access Control (ABAC) Definition and Considerations

February 25, 2019
Author(s)
Chung Tong Hu, David F. Ferraiolo, David R. Kuhn, Adam Schnitzer, Kenneth Sandlin, Robert Miller, Karen Scarfone
[Includes updates as of February 25, 2019] This document provides Federal agencies with a definition of attribute based access control (ABAC). ABAC is a logical access control methodology where authorization to perform a set of operations is determined by

Identification of a mechanogenetic link between substrate stiffness and chemotherapeutic response in breast cancer

February 25, 2019
Author(s)
Brian G. Bush, Scott H. Medina, Emily Sevcik, Maggie Cam, Frank W. DelRio, Kaustav Nandy, Joel P. Schneider
Mechanical feedback from the tumor microenvironment regulates an array of processes underlying cancer biology. For example, increased stiffness of mammary extracellular matrix (ECM) drives malignancy and alters the phenotypes of breast cancer cells

Switchable detector array scheme to reduce the effect of single-photon detector's deadtime in a multi-bit/photon quantum link

February 25, 2019
Author(s)
Cong Liu, YONGXIONG Ren, Jiapeng Zhao, MOHAMMAD MIRHOSSEINI, SEYED RAFSANJANI, GUODONG XIE, Kai Pang, Zhe Zhao, Long Li, Joshua Bienfang, Alan L. Migdall, Todd Brun, Moshe Tur, Robert Boyd, Alan Wilner
We explore the use of a switchable single-photon detector (SPD) array to reduce the effect of individual SPDs' deadtime for a multi-bit/photon quantum link such as M-orbital-angular-momentum (OAM)-encoded one. Our method uses 􀡺 SPDs with a controllable 􀡹 ×

Case Study - Exploring Children's Password Knowledge and Practices

February 23, 2019
Author(s)
Yee-Yin Choong, Mary Theofanos, Karen Renaud, Suzanne Prior
Children use technology from a very young age, and often have to authenticate themselves. Yet very little attention has been paid to designing authentication specifically for this particular target group. The usual practice is to deploy the ubiquitous

Femtosecond Optical Two-Way Time-Frequency Transfer in the Presence of Motion
