Comparison of Publicly Available Methodologies for Development of Geologic Storage Estimates for Carbon Dioxide in Saline Formations

September 4, 2013
Author(s)
Angela Goodman, Grant Bromhal, Brian Strazisar, Traci Rodosta, William F. Guthrie, Doug Allen, George Guthrie
Carbon dioxide storage resource estimates are compared by applying several commonly used methods to general saline formation data sets to assess the impact that the choice of method has on the results. Methods applied include those by 1) ministerial-level

Pneumatically Actuated and Kinematically Positioned Optics Mounts

September 4, 2013
Author(s)
Roger C. Brown, Steven Olmschenk, Wu Saijun, Ari Dyckovsky, Robert Wyllie, James V. Porto
We present two complementary designs of pneumatically actuated and kinematically positioned optics mounts: one designed for vertical mounting and translation, the other designed for horizontal mounting and translation. The design and measured stability

Reply to "Comment on: 'Ultrafast Demagnetization Measurements Using Extreme Ultraviolet Light: Comparison of Electronic and Magnetic Contributions'"

Justin Shaw, Thomas J. Silva, Hans Nembach, Emrah Turgut, Patrik Grychtol, Chan La-O-Vorakiat, Henry C. Kapteyn, Margaret M. Murnane, Stefan Mathias, Martin Aeschlimann, Claus Schneider, Daniel E. Adams
In the following, we show that the conclusions of our article titled "Ultrafast Demagnetization Measurements Using Extreme Ultraviolet Light: Comparison of Electronic and Magnetic Contributions" are correct. The Comment of Vodungbo et al. argues that a

Two Applications of Small Feature Dimensional Measurements on a CMM with a Fiber Probe

September 4, 2013
Author(s)
Eric S. Stanfield, Bala Muralikrishnan, Theodore D. Doiron, Xiaoyu Alan Zheng, Shahram Orandi, david Duquette
We describe two interesting applications of dimensional measurements performed using a contact fiber probe on a commercial Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM). Both examples involve artifacts that serve as material standards and contain features in the 100

Elemental analyses of soil and sediment fused with lithium borate using isotope dilution laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-IDMS)

September 2, 2013
Author(s)
John L. Molloy, Julian Malherbe, Fanny Claverie, Aitor Alvarez-Toral, Beatriz Fernandez, Rosario Pereiro
Quantitative analysis using Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) remains challenging primarily due to elemental fractionation effects and to the lack of appropriate standards available for the wide variety of samples of

State-of-the-Art RF Signal Generation From Optical Frequency Division

September 2, 2013
Author(s)
Archita Hati, Craig W. Nelson, Corey A. Barnes, Danielle G. Lirette, Tara M. Fortier, Franklyn J. Quinlan, Jason A. DeSalvo, Andrew D. Ludlow, Till P. Rosenband, Scott A. Diddams, David A. Howe
We present the design of a novel, ultra-low phase-noise frequency synthesizer implemented with extremely low noise regenerative frequency dividers. This synthesizer generates eight outputs viz. 1.6 GHz, 320 MHz, 160 MHz, 80 MHz, 40 MHz, 20 MHz, 10 MHz and

The Effect of Tip Size in Calibration of Surface Roughness Specimens with Rectangular Profiles

September 2, 2013
Author(s)
Jun-Feng Song, Thomas B. Renegar, Johannes A. Soons, Balasubramanian Muralikrishnan, John S. Villarrubia, Xiaoyu A. Zheng, Theodore V. Vorburger
For the calibration of rectangular and trapezoidal profile roughness specimens, stylus tip will increase profile peak width and decrease valley width, which may cause the Ra changes (either increase or decrease, depends on the profile shape). Sometimes the

Analysis of Implanted Silicon Dopant Profiles

September 1, 2013
Author(s)
B. P. Geiser, Eric B. Steel, Karen T. Henry, D. Olson, T.J. Prosa
Atom probe tomography implant dose measurements are reported for National Institute of Standards and Technology Standard Reference Material 2134 (As implant). Efforts were taken to manufacture specimens with limited variation in size and shape to minimize

Correlating Photovoltaic Clear-Sky and Actual Output to Sky Cover Measurements

September 1, 2013
Author(s)
David R. Daily, David Holmberg, John Baras
As distributed energy resources are added to existing building systems, and variable priced electricity tariffs are introduced, facility owners may profit from understanding the expected performance of their building systems. Hourly, forecast energy

CTOA Testing of Pipeline Steels Using MDCB Specimens

September 1, 2013
Author(s)
Robert L. Amaro, Jeffrey W. Sowards, Elizabeth S. Drexler, Joseph D. McColskey, Christopher N. McCowan
Crack tip opening angle (CTOA) is used to rank the relative resistance to crack extension of various pipeline steels. In general, the smaller the CTOA value, the lower the resistance to crack extension. It is unclear, however, whether CTOA is a material

Detection of l-C3H+ in Sgr B2(N) and Sgr B2(OH) and Refinement of its Spectroscopic Constants via the Publicly Available PRIMOS Survey and the Barry E. Turner Legacy Survey

September 1, 2013
Author(s)
Francis J. Lovas, Brett A. McGuire, P. B. Carroll, Ryan A. Loomis, Geoffery A. Blake, Jan M. Hollis, Phillip R. Jewell, Anthony J. Remijan
Pety et al. (2012) recently reported the detection and assignment of l-C3H+ in the Horsehead nebula. Here, we expand that analysis to include the J = 1 - 0 and J = 2 - 1 transitions of l-C3H+ observed in absorption towards Sgr B2(N) in data from the
