Standardizing CT Lung Density Measure Across Scanner Manufacturers

March 1, 2017
Author(s)
Huaiyu H. Chen-Mayer, Matthew Fuld, Bernice Hoppel, Phillip Judy, Junfeng Guo, David Lynch, Antonio M. Possolo, Sean B. Fain
Computed Tomography imaging of the lung, reported in Hounsfield Units (HU), can be parameterized as a quantitative image biomarker for the diagnosis and monitoring of lung density changes due to emphysema, a type of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

A Classification Scheme for Smart Manufacturing Systems Performance Metrics

February 28, 2017
Author(s)
Yung-Tsun T. Lee, Senthilkumaran Kumaraguru, Sanjay jain, Qais Hatim, Stefanie Robinson, Moneer M. Helu, Sudarsan Rachuri, Soundar Kumara, Christopher Saldana, David Dornfeld
This paper proposes a classification framework for performance metrics for smart manufacturing systems. The discussion focuses on agility, asset utilization, and sustainability, and we discuss classification themes for each of these areas that lead to the

Metal Additive Manufacturing Standardization in Support of Qualification and Certification

February 28, 2017
Author(s)
Mohsen Seifi, Michael Gorelik, Jess Waller, Nik Hrabe, Nima Shamsaei, Steve Daniewicz, John J. Lewandowski
As the metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) industry moves towards industrial production, the need for qualification standards covering all aspects of the technology becomes ever more prevalent. While some standards and specifications for documenting the

Biological Uptake, Distribution and Depuration of Radio-labeled Graphene in Adult Zebrafish: Effects of Graphene Size and Natural Organic Matter

February 27, 2017
Author(s)
Kun Lu, Shipeng Dong, Elijah Petersen, Xiaofeng Chang, Peng Wang, Sijie Lin, Liang Mao
The exciting commercial application potential of graphene materials may inevitably lead to their increasing environmental exposure and risk. This study focused on using carbon-14 labeled few-layer graphene (FLG) to determine whether the size of graphene

Propane Gas Fire Experiments in Residential Scale Structures

February 27, 2017
Author(s)
Joseph M. Willi
Nine full-scale fire experiments were conducted in two residential-scale structures to study how different fire fighting tactics, specifically horizontal, vertical, and positive pressure ventilation, affect the fire environment within a structure. The fire

Characterization of a PXIe based low-field digital NMR spectrometer

February 25, 2017
Author(s)
Joshua R. Biller, Karl F. Stupic, Anthony B. Kos, Timothy Weilert, George Rinard, Yoshi Nakashima, John M. Moreland
A low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) instrument is an important tool for investigating a wide variety of samples under different conditions. In this paper, we describe a system constructed primarily with commercially available hardware and control

Review of the 9th NLTE code comparison workshop

February 24, 2017
Author(s)
R. Piron, F. Gilleron, Y Aglitskiy, H.-K. Chung, C. J. Fontes, S. B. Hansen, O. Marchuk, H. Scott, E. Stambulchik, Yuri Ralchenko
We review the 9th NLTE code comparison workshop, which was held in the Jussieu campus, Paris, from November 30th to December 4th, 2015. This time, the workshop was mainly focused on a systematic investigation of iron NLTE steady-state kinetics and

The Cu II Spectrum

February 24, 2017
Author(s)
Alexander Kramida, Gillian Nave, Joseph Reader
New wavelength measurements in the vacuum ultraviolet (VUV), ultraviolet and visible spectral regions have been combined with available literature data to refine and extend the description of the spectrum of singly ionized copper (Cu II). In the VUV region

Classification of petroleum Standard Reference Materials and other fuels by chemometric analysis of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry data

February 23, 2017
Author(s)
Werickson Fortunato de Carvalho Rocha, Michele M. Schantz, David Sheen, Katrice Lippa, Pamela M. Chu
As feedstocks transition from conventional oil to increasing amounts of unconventional petroleum sources and biomass, it will be necessary to determine whether a particular fuel or fuel blend is suitable for use in engines. Certifying a fuel as safe for
