Species Formation and Burning Characteristics of Scaled Propane Compartment Fires

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
C J. Wieczorek, U Vandsburger, J E. Floyd
Fires occurring in dense occupancies such as hospitals, dormitories, and nursing homes pose a serious threat to occupants due to the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. This risk is becoming increasingly important as the population demographics of developed

Specific DNA Binding to CRP Induces Conformational Changes in the CRP and the DNA in Solution: A Small-Angle Neutron Scattering Study

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
Susan T. Krueger, S. K. Gregurick, Y. Shi, S. Wang, B Waldkowski, Frederick P. Schwarz
The transcription activator, 3'-5' cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) receptor protein (CRP), when ligated with cAMP, activates the transcription of over 25 operons, which code for enzymes involved in carbohydrate metabolism in E. coli. Small-angle

Spectral Data for Gallium: Ga I through Ga XXXI

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
T Shirai, Joseph Reader, Alexander Kramida, J Sugar
The energy levels and spectral lines of gallium atom in all stages of ionization have been compiled. Experimental data on spectral lines and energy levels exist for spectra Ga I through Ga VII, Ga XXIII through Ga XXVI, and Ga XXX. For Li-like Ga XXIX

Spectrum and Energy Levels of the Nd 4+ Free Ion (Nd V)

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
Ali Meftah, J-F Wyart, Jocelyne Sinzelle, Wan-U Lydia Tchang-Brillet, Norbert Champion, Nissan Spector, J Sugar
The spectrum of neodymium excited by a sliding spark source was photographed on two vacuum ultraviolet normal-incidence spectrographs. About 250 lines attributed to Nd V, hitherto unknown, have been identified. The analysis of this spectrum established all

Stability of Global Entanglement in Thermal States of Spin Chains

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
G K. Brennen, Stephen Bullock
We investigate the entanglement properties of a one dimensional chain of spin qubits coupled via nearest neighbor interactions. The entanglement measure used is the $n$-concurrence, which is distinct from other measures on spin chains such as bipartite

Stability of Precision Diamond Turning Processes That Use Round Nosed Tools

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
David E. Gilsinn, Matthew A. Davies, B Balachandran
A system of retarded differential equations model is developed for a diamond-turning process with chip area cut by a round nosed tool. The results are presented in the form of stability charts that are found to be perturbed forms of those obtained for

Stable and Robust Polymer Nanotubes Stretched From Polymersomes

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
Joseph E. Reiner, J M. Wells, Rani B. Kishore, Candace Pfefferkorn, Kristian Helmerson
We create long polymer nanotubes by directly pulling on the membrane of polymersomes using either optical tweezers or a micropipette. The polymersomes are composed of amphiphilic diblock copolymers and the nanotubes formed have an aqueous core. We

Standard Reference Photometer for the Assay of Ozone in Calibration Atmospheres

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
R J. Paur, A M. Bass, James E. Norris, T J. Buckley
A photometric instrument for the assay of ozone from 0 ppbv to 1000 ppbv in calibration atmospheres as been designed, constructed, and evaluated. The absorption cross-section of ozone at 254 nm (HG line) is the major component of uncertainty of the

Stoichiometry and Phase Composition of MOCVD Barium Titanate Films

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
Charles E. Bouldin, Joseph Woicik, Bruce Ravel, Debra Kaiser, Mark D. Vaudin
X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS), x-ray diffraction (XRD) and x-ray fluorescence (XRF) have been used to study the stoichiometry and phase composition of thin (approximately equal to} 1 micron) films deposited on MgO substrates. Deposition

Strain and Spin-Orbit Effects in Self-Assembled Quantum Dots

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
M Zielinski, W Jaskolski, Javier Aizpurua, Garnett W. Bryant
The effects of strain and spin-orbit interaction in self-assembled lens-shaped InAs/GaAs quantum dots are investigated. Calculations are performed with empirical tight-binding theory supplemented by the valence force field method to account for effects of

Strength Evaluation on a Composite Marine Propeller Blade

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
H J. Lin, J J. Lin, Tze-Jer Chuang
The strength of a composite propeller blade is evaluated by performing a nonlinear hydro-elastic analysis. The finite element method, lifting surface theory, least square method, equilibrium equation and Hashin failure criteria are employed for the

Structural Alterations in the DNA of Stroma and Epithelium From the Female Breast

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
Donald C. Malins, Katie M. Anderson, Pawel Jaruga, Callie R. Ramsey, Naomi K. Gilman, Virginia M. Green, Steven W. Rostad, Joanne T. Emerman, M. Dizdaroglu
Reciprocal interactions between the stroma and epithelium are considered to be intimately associated with the development of breast cancer. In studies of whole breast tissues, a keen interest exists in the occurrence of the mutagenic DNA lesions 8-hydroxy

Structure and Crystal Chemistry of M 0.5 Ta 0.5 B (M = Ti, Zr, and Hf)

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
I Talmy, J Zaykoski, J A. Kudak, Winnie Wong-Ng
During the development of refractory composites (cermets) combining MB2 (M=Ti, Zr, or Hf) ceramics and Ta metal, three new phases of compositions M0.5Ta0.5B were discovered. Preliminary determination of lattice parameters using x-ray powder diffraction

Structure and Reactivity of the Hydrated Hematite (0001) Surface

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
T P. Trainor, Anne M. Chaka, P J. Eng, M Newville, G A. Waychunas, J G. Catalano, G E. Brown
Hematite (alpha-Fe 2 O 3 ) is significantly more reactive to water and metal ions than its isostructure corundum (alpha-Al 2 O 3 u) under environmental conditions. However, the reason for this difference is not understood. Using crystal truncation rod

Study of Isochoric Specific Heat Capacity Measurements for Liquid Isobutane

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
Hiroyuki Miyamoto, Hiroshi Kitajima, Noboru Kagawa, Joe W. Magee, Seizo Tsuruno, Koichi Watanabe
Isobutane is one of the most promising alternative refrigerants because of its zero ODP and negligible GWP. It can be used not only as a pure component but also as a component of binary or ternary mixture refrigerants. To design and evaluate cycle
