Tools and Approaches for the Assessment of Nanomaterial Induced Oxidative DNA Damage

June 20, 2012
Author(s)
Elijah J. Petersen, Bryce J. Marquis, Pawel Jaruga, M Miral Dizdar, Bryant C. Nelson
Hyphenated mass spectrometry techniques have been employed as one of the primary analytical tools for investigating the effects of ionizing radiation, chemical/biological carcinogens, and oxygen derived free radicals on the induction and subsequent repair

USARSim/ROS: A Combined Framework for Robotic Control and Simulation

June 20, 2012
Author(s)
Stephen B. Balakirsky, Zeid Kootbally
The Robot Operating System (ROS) has been steadily gaining popularity among robotics researchers as an open source framework for robot control. The Unified System for Automation and Robot Simulation (USARSim) has been used for many years by robotics

Analysis of Thermal-Conductivity Measurement Data from International Comparison of National Laboratories

June 19, 2012
Author(s)
Bruno Hay, Robert R. Zarr, Clark Stacey, Leonel Lira Cortes, Ulf Hammerschmidt, Nikolay Sokolov, J.T. Zhang, Jean Remy Filtz
For the first time under the auspices of the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM), seven national metrology institutes (NMIs) participated in an international interlaboratory comparison on thermal-conductivity measurements by the guarded hot

Ancilla assisted calibration of a measuring apparatus

June 19, 2012
Author(s)
Alan L. Migdall, Giorgio Brida, L. Ciavarella, Ivo P. Degiovanni, Marco Genovese, M. G. Mingolla, M. G. A. Paris, Fabrizio Piacentini, Sergey Polyakov
The rapid development of quantum systems has enabled a wide range of novel and innovative technologies, from quantum information processing to quantum etrology and imaging [113], mainly based on optical systems. Precise characterization techniques of

Demonstration of Superluminal Images

June 19, 2012
Author(s)
Ryan T. Glasser, Ulrich Vogl, Paul D. Lett
Optical pulse propagation with group velocities larger than the speed of light in vacuum, c, or negative, have been demonstrated theoretically and experimentally in a variety of systems [1–5]. The anomalous dispersion required for generating “fast” light

Metastable Crystalline AuGe Catalysts Formed During Isothermal Germanium Nanowire Growth

June 19, 2012
Author(s)
Andrew D. Gamalski, Jerry Tersoff, Renu Sharma, Caterina Ducati, Stephan Hofmann
We observe the formation of metastable AuGe phases without quenching, during strictly isothermal nucleation and growth of Ge nanowires, using video-rate lattice-resolved environmental transmission electron microscopy. We explain the unexpected formation of

Predicting Global Failure Regimes in Complex Information Systems

June 19, 2012
Author(s)
Christopher E. Dabrowski, James J. Filliben, Kevin L. Mills
Over the past five years, we investigated methods to characterize global behavior in large distributed systems and applied those methods to predict effects from deploying alternate distributed control algorithms. The methods we used assess global behaviors

Verification and Validation Process of a Fire Model

June 18, 2012
Author(s)
Kevin B. McGrattan, Simo A. Hostikka
Fire simulation tools are used frequently in the fire safety assessment of nuclear and other industrial installations. They are also used in the context of probabilistic fire risk assessment as deterministic models providing the relation between the random

A New Convexity Measurement for 3D Meshes

June 16, 2012
Author(s)
Afzal A. Godil, Zhouhui Lian
This paper presents a novel convexity measurement for 3D meshes. The new convexity measure is calculated by minimizing the ratio of the summed area of valid regions in a mesh’s six views, which are projected on faces of the bounding box whose edges are

A COMPUTER AIDED SYSTEM FOR SUSTAINABILITY ANALYSIS FOR DIE-CASTING PROCESS

June 15, 2012
Author(s)
Jatinder Madan, Mahesh Mani, Princepal Singh, Amrik Singh
Currently available sustainability analysis systems for the die-casting process primarily depend on the material properties and do not account for process information. As a result they are unable to assess or compare the sustainability of parts made using
