A Literature Review of Disaster-Induced Business Interruption and an Exploratory Analysis of the Effects of the 2004 Atlantic Hurricane Season on Florida Establishments at the Zip Code Level

November 15, 2016
Author(s)
David H. Webb, Stanley W. Gilbert
As an exploratory analysis, demographic data from the 2000 Census and 2011 American Community Survey at the Zone Improvement Plan (ZIP) code level are used in conjunction with damage estimates from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to model

Chapter 4: Thermodynamics

November 15, 2016
Author(s)
Ursula R. Kattner, Tore Haug-Warberg, Long-Qing Chen, Bengt Hallstedt, Andre Costa e Silva, Joonho Lee, Jean-Marc Joubert, Jean-Claude Crivello, Zhang Fan, Bethany Huseby
Thermodynamic modelling is currently one of the most mature areas of ICME and companies that produce software tools for thermodynamic modelling are deeply involved in initiatives in the EU and US to advance the ICME vision, so thermodynamic modelling will

Scalable, chip-based optically-controlled gates for quantum information processing

November 15, 2016
Author(s)
Sergey V. Polyakov, Ivan Burenkov, Olga Tikhonova
Here we present a simple and robust method to build on-the-fly configurable quantum gates based on photonic exchange between quantum nodes. The idea is based on a high reflectivity of Bragg grating structures near resonant wavelengths. The control is

A Planar Hyperblack Absolute Radiometer

November 14, 2016
Author(s)
John H. Lehman, Michelle S. Stephens, Malcolm G. White, Andreas Steiger, Christian Monte, Joerg Hollandt, Ivan Ryger, Mathias Kehrt, Marla L. Dowell
The absolute responsivity of a planar radiometer fabricated from micromachined silicon and having carbon nanotubes as the absorber and thermistor was measured in the visible and far infrared (free-field terahertz) wavelength range by means of detector

Cascaded emission of single photons from the biexciton in monolayered WSe2

November 10, 2016
Author(s)
Yu-Ming He, Oliver Iff, Nils Lundt, Vasilij Baumann, Marcelo I. Davanco, Kartik Srinivasan, Sven Hofling, Christian Schneider
Monolayers of transition metal dichalcogenide materials emerged as a new material class to study excitonic effects in solid state. They benefit from the enormous coulomb correlations between electrons and holes, as a result of reduced dielectric screening

Fabrication, Testing and Simulation of All Solid State Three Dimensional Li-ion Batteries

November 10, 2016
Author(s)
Alec Talin, Dimitry Ruzmetov, Andrei Kolmakov, Kim McKelvey, N Ware, Farid El Gabaly, Bruce Dunn, Henry White
In this paper we demonstrate fully-functional 3D SSLIBs fabricated using materials and thin film deposition methods compatible with semiconductor device processing. These 3D SSLIBs consist of conical or cylindrical Si microcolumns onto which layers

Fragile Morphotropic Phase Boundary and Phase Stability in the Near-Surface Region of Relaxor Ferroelectric (1-x)Pb(Zn 1/3 Nb 2/3 )O 3-x PbTiO 3 : [001] Field-Cooled Phase Diagrams

November 10, 2016
Author(s)
Yaojin Wang, Ding Wang, Guoliang Yuan, He Ma, Feng Xu, Jiefang Li, D. Viehland, Peter M. Gehring
We have examined the effects of field cooling on the phase diagram of the relaxor system (1-X)Pb(Zn 1/3Nb 2/3)O6d3-x^PbTiO 3 (PZN-xPT) for compositions near the morphotropic phase boundary (MPB). High-resolution diffraction measurements using CuK αx-rays

Heralding single photons from a high-Q silicon microdisk

November 10, 2016
Author(s)
Xiyuan Lu, Steven Rogers, Thomas Gerrits, Wei Jiang, Sae Woo Nam, Qiang Lin
Integrated quantum photonics has recently attracted considerable attention due to the promise of realizing chip-scale quantum information processing with unprecedented capability and complexity. Their implementation relies essentially on a high-quality

Integration of Redox-Active Diruthenium-based Molecular Layer onto Electrodes for Memory Device Applications

November 10, 2016
Author(s)
Sujitra J. Pookpanratana, Hao Zhu, Joseph W. Robertson, Sean Natoli, Emily G. Bittle, Curt A. Richter, Tong Ren, Qiliang Li, Christina A. Hacker
Attaching and integrating electrochemically-active molecules to a variety of different surfaces is of importance for applications in catalysis, memory devices, and molecular electronics. With the increasing demand for personal electronics, growth in Flash

Liquid Chromatography with Absorbance Detection and with Isotope-Dilution Mass Spectrometry for Determination of Isoflavones in Soy Standard Reference Materials

November 10, 2016
Author(s)
Melissa M. Phillips, Mary Bedner, Manuela Reitz, Carolyn Q. Burdette, Michael A. Nelson, James H. Yen, Lane C. Sander, Catherine A. Rimmer
Two independent analytical approaches, based on liquid chromatography with absorbance detection and liquid chromatography with mass spectrometric detection, have been developed for determination of isoflavones in soy materials. These two methods yield

Reduction of Domain Spacing and Interfacial Width in Fast Ordering Nanofilled Copolymer Films by Direct Immersion Annealing

November 10, 2016
Author(s)
Melanie Longanecker, Arvind Modi, Andrey Dobrynin, Seyong Kim, Guangcui Yuan, Ronald L. Jones, Sushil K. Satija, Joona Bang, Alamgir Karim
Block copolymers (BCPs) offer a convenient templating method on the nanoscale to organize nanoparticles within a polymer film for the enhancement of various properties. For functional applications that require high nanoparticle loadings, this is often more

Role of Molecular Flexibility and Colloidal Descriptions of Proteins in Crowded Environments from Small-Angle Scattering

November 10, 2016
Author(s)
Maria Monica Castellanos Mantilla, Nicholas J. Clark, Max C. Watson, Susan Krueger, Arnold McAuley, Joseph Curtis
Small-angle scattering is a powerful technique to study molecular conformation and interactions in a variety of systems. Recent work has questioned the validity of analyzing small-angle scattering data of protein solutions with models from the colloidal

The 2016 revision of ISO 1 Standard reference temperature for the specification of geometrical and dimensional properties

November 10, 2016
Author(s)
Steven D. Phillips, Craig M. Shakarji, Alessandro Balsamo, Michael Krystek, Edward P. Morse
This paper discusses the recently published 2016 (third edition) of ISO 1. While the value of the standard reference temperature remains unchanged at 20 C, definitions for the reference temperature and standard reference temperature are now included. This
