Ultra-Small-Angle Neutron Scattering with Azimuthal Asymmetry

June 1, 2016
Author(s)
X. Gu, David F. Mildner
Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) measurements from thin rock samples such as shales demand as great a scattering vector range as possible because the pores cover a wide range of sizes. The limitation of the scattering vector range for pinhole SANS

Minority-carrier dynamics in semiconductors probed by two-photon microscopy

May 31, 2016
Author(s)
Benoit H. Gaury, Paul M. Haney
Two-photon time-resolved photoluminescence has been recently applied to various semiconductor devices to determine carrier lifetime and surface recombination velocities. So far the theoretical modeling activity has been mainly limited to the commonly used

MPInterfaces: A Materials Project based Python Tool for a High Throughput Computational Screening of Interfacial Systems

May 31, 2016
Author(s)
Arunima Singh, Kiran Mathew, Joshua Grabriel, Kamal Choudhary, Susan B. Sinnott, Albert Davydov, Francesca M. Tavazza, Richard G. Hennig
A Materials Project based open-source python tool, MPInterfaces, has been developed to automate the high throughput computational screening and study of interfacial systems. The framework encompasses creation and manipulation of interface structures for

Recommendations for Autonomous Industrial Vehicle Performance Standards

May 31, 2016
Author(s)
Roger V. Bostelman
A workshop was held at the IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, called: "Autonomous Industrial Vehicles: From the Laboratory to the Factory Floor." Nine research papers were presented followed by a discussion session summarized in this

TOWARDS BUSINESS PROCESS CATALOG FOR CLOUD-ENABLED SERVICE-ORIENTED ARCHITECTURES

May 31, 2016
Author(s)
Nenad Ivezic, Miroslav Ljubicic, Boonserm Kulvatunyou, Conrad Leiva, Scott Nieman, Zoran Marjanovic
Advances in cloud-enabled service-oriented architectures have caused a resurgence of industry interest in business process catalog as a vehicle for establishing shared references for collaborative business processes. With this paper, we start to explore

Expected net gain data of low-template DNA analyses

May 30, 2016
Author(s)
Simone N. Gittelson, Carolyn R. Steffen, Michael D. Coble
Low-template DNA analyses are affected by stochastic effects which can produce a configuration of peaks in the electropherogram (EPG) that is different from the genotype of the DNA's donor. A probabilistic and decision-theoretic model can quantify the

Integration of CodeSynthesis and QIF

May 30, 2016
Author(s)
John L. Michaloski
This paper describes using CodeSynthesis "XSD" tool and Xerces C++ XML tools in basic Quality Information Framework (QIF) applications. The targeted platforms are Ubuntu and Linux as well as Microsoft Windows. The emphasis of the document is on the

Living History - My Journey through Crystallography and Related Science

May 30, 2016
Author(s)
Winnie K. Wong-Ng
This is an invited brief memoir by the American Crystallographic Association (ACA) Newsletter Editor. In this memoir, a brief history of Winnie Wong-Ng’s earlier childhood, her academic journey from Hong Kong to the US, her career developments after her

Multicast Delayed Authentication For Streaming Synchrophasor Data in the Smart Grid

May 30, 2016
Author(s)
Sergio Camara, Dhananjay Anand, Victoria Yan Pillitteri, Luiz F. Carmo
Multicast authentication of synchrophasor data is challenging due to the design requirements of Smart Grid monitoring systems such as low security overhead, tolerance of lossy networks, time-criticality and high data rates. In this work, we propose inf

Insights on Formal Methods of Cybersecurity

May 27, 2016
Author(s)
Jeffrey M. Voas, Kim B. Schaffer
We asked 7 experts 1 simple question to find out what has occurred recently in terms of applying formal methods (FM) to security-centric, cyber problems: Please summarize in a paragraph the state of the research and practitioner communities in formal

Summary of results from the 2014/2015 Hydrocarbon Intercalibration Experiment (HIE)

May 27, 2016
Author(s)
Christopher Reddy, Stephen Wise, Lane C. Sander, Jacolin Murray
Following an open meeting entitled, "Hydrocarbon Chemistry QA/QC," at the 2014 Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill and Ecosystem Science Conference in Mobile, Alabama, the Gulf of Mexico Research Initiative (GoMRI) initiated the Hydrocarbon Intercalibration

DNA Damage and Repair in Cancer

May 26, 2016
Author(s)
M Miral Dizdar
Oxygen- and nitrogen-derived reactive species are constantly generated in living organisms by endogenous and exogenous sources. Reactions of reactive species such as free radicals with DNA cause the formation of multiple mutagenic and cytotoxic lesions

Persistent organic pollutants in blood samples of Southern Giant Petrels (Macronectes giganteus) from the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica

May 26, 2016
Author(s)
Fernanda I. Colabuono, Stacy Schuur, Kevin Huncik, Satie Taniguchi, Petry V. Maria, John Kucklick, Rosalinda C. Montone
Seabirds play an important role as top consumers in the food web and can be used as biomonitors of exposure to pollutants. Contamination studies on seabirds involving non-destructive sampling methods are of considerable importance, allowing better

Quadrupole Order in the Frustrated Pyrochlore Tb 2+x Ti 2-x O 7+y

May 26, 2016
