Infiltration and Ventilation in a Very Tight Home

September 23, 2015
Author(s)
Lisa C. Ng, Andrew K. Persily, Steven J. Emmerich
The Net Zero Energy Residential Test Facility (NZERTF) was constructed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to support the development and adoption of cost-effective net zero energy designs and technologies. Key design objectives

Sequence-based Analysis of Stutter at STR Loci: Characterization and Utility

September 23, 2015
Author(s)
Rachel A. Aponte, Katherine Gettings, David L. Duewer, Michael D. Coble, Peter Vallone
The development of next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies creates the potential for changing the method by which the forensic science community genotypes short tandem repeat (STR) loci. While the capabilities of NGS are promising, moving from

Comparison of Pinhole Collimation and Focusing Optics for SANS

September 21, 2015
Author(s)
Charles J. Glinka, John G. Barker, David F. Mildner
We examine quantitatively the instrumental factors that affect the theoretical performance and practical application of conventional pinhole collimation and focusing optics for Small-Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS) measurements. We calculate the relative

Multiplicative Complexity of Vector Value Boolean Functions

September 21, 2015
Author(s)
Magnus G. Find, Joan Boyar
We consider the multiplicative complexity of Boolean functions with multiple bits of output, studying how large a multiplicative complexity is necessary and sufficient to provide a desired nonlinearity. For so-called $\Sigma\Pi\Sigma$ circuits, we show

Non-collinear generation of angularly isolated circularly polarized high harmonics

Author(s)
Justin M. Shaw, Daniel Hickstein, Franklin Dollar, Patrik Grychtol, Jennifer Ellis, Carlos Hernandez-Garcia, Ronny J. Knut, Christian Gentry, Henry Kapteyn, Margaret Murnane
We generate ultrashort pulses of angularly isolated, circularly polarized extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light through the first implementation of noncollinear high harmonic generation with circularly polarized driving lasers. The noncollinear geometry offers

Three-level Haldane-like model on a dice optical lattice

September 21, 2015
Author(s)
Ian B. Spielman, T. Andrijauskas, E. Anisimovas, M. Raciunas, A. Mekys, V. Kudriasov, G. Juzeliunas
We consider ultracold atoms in a two-dimensional optical lattice of the dice geometry in a tight-binding regime. The atoms experience a laser-assisted tunneling between the nearest neighbor sites of the dice lattice accompanied by the momentum recoil. This

Coulomb bound states of strongly interacting photons

September 18, 2015
Author(s)
Mohammad F. Maghrebi, Michael Gullans, Przemek Bienias, Soonwon Choi, Ivar Martin, Ofer Firstenberg, Mikhail D. Lukin, Hans Peter Buchler, Alexey Gorshkov
We show that two photons coupled to Rydberg states via electromagnetically induced transparency can interact via an effective Coulomb potential. This interaction gives rise to a continuum of two-body bound states. Within the continuum, metastable bound

Assessing the Thermal Protective Performance of Fire Blocking Barrier Fabrics for Residential Upholstered Furniture: Report to Consumer Product Safety Commission for Interagency Agreement CPSC-I-13-0022

September 17, 2015
Author(s)
Shonali Nazare, John R. Shields, Szabolcs Matko, Rick D. Davis
Fire behavior of five barrier fabrics has been evaluated both, as an individual component and as a part of composite samples, using different test methods. The quantitative component test methods selected to characterize fire behavior of barrier fabrics

Creating Nanostructured Superconductors by Local Current Annealing

Superconductivity results from a Bose condensate of Cooper-paired electrons with a macroscopic quantum wavefunction. Dramatic effects can occur when the region of the condensate is shaped and confined to the nanometer scale. Recent progress in
