Divalent ions as mediators of carbonylation in cardiac myosin binding protein C

November 1, 2023
Author(s)
Christina Bergonzo, Baikuntha Aryal, Ashutosh Rao
The dosing and efficacy of chemotherapeutic drugs can be limited by toxicity caused by off-pathway reactions. One hypothesis for how such toxicity arises is via metal-catalyzed oxidative damage of cardiac myosin binding protein C (cMyBP-C) found in cardiac

Many organizations provide employees the flexibility to use their personal mobile devices to perform work-related activities. An ineffectively secured personal mobile device could expose an organization or employee to data loss or a privacy compromise

Tuning Arrays with Rays: Physics-Informed Tuning of Quantum Dot Charge States

September 28, 2023
Author(s)
Joshua Ziegler, Florian Luthi, Mick Ramsey, Felix Borjans, Guoji Zheng, Justyna Zwolak
Quantum computers based on gate-defined quantum dots (QDs) are expected to scale. However, as the number of qubits increases, the burden of manually calibrating these systems becomes unreasonable and autonomous tuning must be used. There has been a range

High-performance computing (HPC) is a vital computational infrastructure for processing large data volumes, performing complex simulations, and conducting advanced machine learning model training. As such, HPC is a critical component of scientific

Can you Spot a Phish?

September 26, 2023
Author(s)
Jody Jacobs, Shanee Dawkins
This talk will cover findings from over 4 years of NIST phishing training data, highlighting user context as the key to phishing susceptibility. We will discuss the NIST Phish Scale, our research on why users click, and how it can help users spot a phish.

A DNS study of the impact of gravity on spherically expanding laminar premixed flames

September 25, 2023
Author(s)
Lukas Berger, Raik Hesse, Michael Hegetschweiler, Antonio Attili, Konstantin Kleinheinz, Joachim Beeckmann, Gregory T. Linteris, Heinz Pitsch
Determining laminar flame speeds from spherical flame experiments is dicult for low flame speeds, when the flame shapes quickly become non-spherical due to the influence of gravity. Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) of spherically expanding laminar

A Microgravity Flame Speed Study on Refrigerant Mixtures of 2,3,3,3-Tetrafluoropropene (R1234yf) and Difluoromethane (R32)

September 25, 2023
Author(s)
Raik Hesse, Roman Glaznev, Christian Schwenzer, Valeri I. Babushok, Gregory T. Linteris, Heinz Pitsch, Joachim Beeckmann
Today's hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerants are designed to have a low global warming potential (GWP), resulting in fast atmospheric decomposition and increased reactivity. This causes them to be mildly flammable. The laminar flame speed SL,u ranks

Cybersecurity Framework Profile for Hybrid Satellite Networks (HSN)

Author(s)
Dan Mamula, Karri Meldorf, Joseph Brule, O'Ryan Lattin, John Wiltberger, Sam Sepassi, Rory Jennings, Chris Thorpe, John Dombrowski, Jim McCarthy
The space sector is transitioning towards Hybrid Satellite Networks (HSN) which is an aggregation of independently owned and operated terminals, antennas, satellites, payloads, or other components that comprise a satellite system. The elements of an HSN

Data Reduction Considerations for Spherical Constant Volume Flames of R32(CH2F2) with Air

September 25, 2023
Author(s)
Michael Hegetschweiler, Lukas Berger, Raik Hesse, Joachim Beeckmann, Chaimae Bariki, Heinz Pitsch, Gregory T. Linteris
The present work explores data reduction techniques for the measurement of the laminar burning velocities of R32(CH2F2)-air using a constant volume combustion device in which the pressure-time history is the only measured parameter. To allow clear
