Using Semantic Web Technologies to Integrate Models to Analytical Tools

November 9, 2015
Author(s)
Peter O. Denno, Mark R. Blackburn
This paper discusses the potential advantages and pitfalls of using semantic web technologies in the process of preparing engineering analyses. Analytical tools are often not designed to be integrated with disparate information sources and general-purpose

MEASUREMENT OF DNA REPAIR PROTEINS IN RELATION TO DISEASE BIOMARKERS AND DRUG DEVELOPMENT

November 7, 2015
Author(s)
Erdem Coskun, Pawel Jaruga, Leona D. Scanlan, Alessandro Tona, Mark S. Lowenthal, Prasad T. Reddy, M Miral Dizdar, Ann-Sofie Jemth, Olga Loseva, Thomas Helleday
Introduction: In aerobic organisms, intracellular metabolism and exogenous sources such as ionizing radiation and carcinogenic compounds generate reactive species including free radicals derived from either oxygen or nitrogen. Oxidative stress thereby

Deep-subwavelength Nanometric Image Reconstruction using Fourier Domain Optical Normalization

November 5, 2015
Author(s)
Jing Qin, Richard M. Silver, Bryan M. Barnes, Hui Zhou, Ronald G. Dixson, Mark Alexander Henn
Quantitative optical measurements of deep sub-wavelength, three-dimensional, nanometric structures with sensitivity to sub-nanometer details address an ubiquitous measurement challenge. A Fourier domain normalization approach is used in the Fourier optical

Effect of a micro-copolymer addition on the thermal conductivity of fly ash mortars

November 5, 2015
Author(s)
Alejandro Duran-Herrera, Joana K. Campos-Dimas, P Valdez, Dale P. Bentz
In this study, a copolymer composed of hollow spherical particles with an average particle size of 90 µm was evaluated as a lightweight aggregate in Portland cement-fly ash mortars to improve the thermal conductivity (k) of the composite. Mortars were

ROLE OF SALT ON ADHESION OF AN EPOXY/ALUMINUM (OXIDE) INTERFACE IN AQUEOUS ENVIRONMENTS

November 5, 2015
Author(s)
Kar T. Tan, Christopher C. White, Donald L. Hunston, Justin M. Gorham, Michael Imburgia, Aaron M. Forster, Vogt D. Bryan
Engineering joints consisting of polymer/inorganic interfaces are commonly exposed to less than ideal conditions during normal service; these environmental conditions present a significant challenge for maintaining the structural integrity of the interface

Applications of the Spline Filter for Areal Filtration

November 4, 2015
Author(s)
D Ott, Hao H. Zhang, Daniel B. Ott, Wei Chu, Jun-Feng Song
This paper proposes a general use areal isotropic spline filter. This new areal spline filter can achieve isotropy by approximating the transmission characteristic of the Gaussian filter. It can also eliminate the effect of void areas using a weighting

Increased carrier mobility and lifetime in CdSe quantum dot thin films through surface passivation and doping

November 4, 2015
Author(s)
Daniel Straus, E. D. Goodwin, E. A. Gaulding, Shinichiro Muramoto, Murray B. Christopher, Cherie R. Kagan
Passivating surface defects and controlling the carrier concentration and mobility in quantum dot (QD) thin films is a prerequisite to designing electronic and optoelectronic devices. We investigate the effect of introducing indium in CdSe QD thin films on

Performance evaluation of a laser tracker hand held touch probe

November 4, 2015
Author(s)
Bala Muralikrishnan, Christopher J. Blackburn, Prem K. Rachakonda, Daniel S. Sawyer
Hand-held touch probes and laser scanners are increasing the scope and applicability of laser trackers. While methods to evaluate the performance of laser trackers in conjunction with spherically-mounted retro-reflectors (SMRs) are well established

The effect of reusing wipes for particle collection

November 4, 2015
Author(s)
Jessica L. Staymates, Matthew E. Staymates, Jeffrey A. Lawrence
This work addresses the need for a method to measure the collection efficiency performance of surface wipe materials as a function of wipe reuse number. The primary purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of wipe reuse, i.e. the number of times

Comparison of halocarbon measurements in an atmospheric dry whole air sample

November 3, 2015
Author(s)
George C. Rhoderick, Bradley Hall, Christina Harth, Jin Seog Kim, Jeogsoon Lee, Stephen Montzka, J. Muhle, Stefan Reimann, Martin Vollmer, Ray Weiss
The growing awareness of climate change/global warming, and continuing concerns regarding stratospheric ozone depletion, will require continued measurements and standards for many compounds, in particular halocarbons that are linked to these issues. In

Inverse Method for Estimating Shear Stress in Machining

November 3, 2015
Author(s)
Timothy J. Burns, Steven P. Mates, Richard L. Rhorer, Eric P. Whitenton, Debasis Basak
An inverse method is presented for estimating the shear stress in the work material in the region of chip-tool contact along the rake face of the tool during orthogonal machining. The method uses an estimate of the temperature of the work material as it

Cyber-Physical Systems Framework

November 2, 2015
Author(s)
David A. Wollman
Two worlds that have operated independently—the digital and physical worlds—are now merging, creating opportunities that will transform many sectors of our society. These new smart systems are based on engineered interacting networks of physical and
