Summary of Workshop Large Outdoor Fires and the Built Environment

July 13, 2017
Author(s)
Samuel L. Manzello, Raphaele Blanchi, Michael Gollner, Sara McAllister, Eulalia Planas, Guillermo Rein, Pedro Reszka, Sayaka Suzuki
Large outdoor fires present risk to the built environment. In this workshop, presentations highlighted large outdoor fires throughout the world, and explored synergies between these fires. Specifically, each presentation provided an overview of the large

Assembly of Multi-flavored Two-Dimensional Colloidal Crystals

July 12, 2017
Author(s)
Nathan Mahynski, Hasan Zerze, Harold W. Hatch, Vincent K. Shen, Jeetain Mittal
We systematically investigate the assembly of binary multi-flavored colloidal mixtures in two dimensions. In these mixtures all pairwise interactions between species may be tuned independently. This introduces an additional degree of freedom over more

Complex Three-Dimensional Magnetic Ordering in Segmented Nanowire Arrays

July 12, 2017
Author(s)
Alexander J Grutter, Kathryn Krycka, Elena V. Tartakovskaya, Julie A. Borchers, K. Sai Madhukar Reddy, Eduardo Ortega, Arturo Ponce, Bethanie J. H. Stadler
The first comprehensive three-dimensional picture of magnetic ordering in high-density arrays of segmented FeGa/Cu nanowires is experimentally realized through the application of Polaris small angle neutron scattering. The competing energetics of dipolar

Cryogenic LED pixel-to-frequency mapper for kinetic inductance detector arrays

July 12, 2017
Author(s)
Jiansong Gao, Xiangliang Liu, W Guo, Wei L.F., Christopher M. McKenney, Bradley J. Dober, Tasha Billings, Johannes Hubmayr
We present a cryogenic wafer mapper based on light emitting diodes (LEDs) for mapping a large microwave kinetic inductance detector (MKID) array. In this scheme, an array of LEDs, addressed by DC wires and collimated through horns onto the detectors, are

Rapid Wafer-Scale Growth of Polycrystalline 2H-MoS2 by Pulsed Metalorganic Chemical Vapor Deposition

July 12, 2017
Author(s)
Berc Kalanyan, William A. Kimes, Ryan Beams, Stephan J. Stranick, Elias J. Garratt, Irina Kalish, Albert Davydov, Ravindra K. Kanjolia, James Maslar
High volume manufacturing of devices based on transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) ultra-thin films will require deposition techniques that are capable of reproducible wafer-scale growth with monolayer control. To date, TMD growth efforts have largely

The Empirical Core-Chain Model

July 12, 2017
Author(s)
Boualem Hammouda, Man-Ho Kim
Small-angle scattering requires models to analyze the data. A core-chain model has been available to fit data from solutions of core-chain particles. When the core particles are "hard" with well-defined surface, that model has been found to work well and

The Open Academic Robot Kit

July 12, 2017
Author(s)
Raymond K. Sheh, Amy Eguchi, Haldun Komsuoglu, Adam Jacoff
The Open Academic Robot Kit (OARKit) lowers the barrier of entry into robotics research. A community driven initiative, it was developed in the context of the RoboCupRescue Robot League competition to advance the state of research in response robotics. All

VMEXT: A Visualization Tool for Mathematical Expression Trees

July 12, 2017
Author(s)
Moritz Schubotz, Howard Cohl, Bela Gipp, Norman Meuschke, Thomas Hepp
Mathematical expressions can be represented as a tree consisting of terminal symbols, such as identifiers or numbers (leaf nodes), and functions or operators (non-leaf nodes). Expression trees are an important concept to store and process mathematical

Calibration of night vision goggles: an SI-units-based measurement technique

July 11, 2017
Author(s)
Vyacheslav B. Podobedov, George P. Eppeldauer, Thomas Larason
A new night vision goggles (NVG) gain definition for the calibration process is proposed and evaluated. This definition is based on the radiance measurements at the input and output of the NVG. In contrast to the old definition which uses a non-

Color Quality (book chapter)

July 11, 2017
Author(s)
Yoshihiro Ohno
This book chapter provides the fundamentals of colorimetry and color quality for solid state lighting, including descriptions of the current standards on chromaticity of SSL light sources and color rendering, and recent studies on these topics. Section 8.1

Enhancing Egress Drills: Preparation and Assessment of Evacuee Performance

July 11, 2017
Author(s)
Steve Gwynne, Erica D. Kuligowski, Karen E. Boyce, Daniel Nilsson, Amanda Robbins, Ruggiero Lovreglio, J.R. Thomas, A. Roy-Poirier
This article explores how egress drills - specifically those related to fire incidents - are currently employed, their impact on safety levels, and the insights gained from them. It is suggested that neither the merits of egress drills are well understood

SATE VI Ockham Sound Analysis Criteria

July 11, 2017
Author(s)
Paul E. Black
In preparation for SATE VI, we present our current thoughts on the Ockham Sound Analysis Criteria track. First, we explain the purpose of the Ockham track and define some terms, such as "sound", "finding", and "site". Then we present the general flow for

Equivalent Isotropic Response as a Surrogate for Incident Field Strength

July 9, 2017
Author(s)
Dan Kuester, Duncan McGillivray, William F. Young, John M. Ladbury, Ari Feldman, Adam Wunderlich, Sheryl M. Genco
The strength of a radiated field at some location in free space can be described in terms of the equivalent conducted output from an isotropic probe antenna with a specified reference polarization. This metric has already entered use by various standards

Seasonal variation of total mercury burden in the American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) at Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge (MINWR), Florida

July 8, 2017
Author(s)
Frances Nilsen, Jonathan E. Dorsey, Stephen E. Long, Tracey B. Schock, John A. Bowden, Russell H. Lowers, Louis J. Guillette Jr.
Seasonal variation of mercury (Hg) is not well studied in free-ranging wildlife. Atmospheric deposition patterns of Hg have been studied in detail and have been modeled for both global and specific locations with great accuracy and correlates to
