Inverse Transform Sampling for Efficient Doppler-Averaged Spectroscopy Simulations

July 14, 2023
Author(s)
Drew Rotunno, Nik Prajapati, Samuel Berweger, MATTHEW SIMONS, Aly Artusio-Glimpse, Amy Robinson, chris holloway
We present a thermal velocity sampling method for calculating Doppler-broadened atomic spectra, which more efficiently reaches a smooth limit than regular velocity weighted sampling. The method uses equal-population sampling of the 1-D thermal distribution

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN ONTOLOGY STANDARDS AND THEIR APPLICABILITY TO BIOMANUFACTURING

July 14, 2023
Author(s)
Milos Drobnjakovic, Boonserm Kulvatunyou, Simon P. Frechette, Vijay Srinivasan
ISO and IEC have jointly initiated, and recently issued, a series of standards (the ISO/IEC 21838 series) for top-level ontologies. These standards have been used by industrial consortia to develop and disseminate standards for mid-level ontologies to ease

A Human-centered Framework to Update Digital Twins

July 13, 2023
Author(s)
Peter O. Denno, Deogratias Kibira
Developing a digital twin (DT) involves establishing (1) a predictive capability (a model) relevant to the application, (2) means to collect data from the physical counterpart, and (3) means to apply the collected data to the model. Ideally, with these

Discovery and Recognition of Formula Conceptsusing Machine Learning

July 13, 2023
Author(s)
Howard Cohl, Bela Gipp, Moritz Schubotz, Philipp Scharpf
Citation-based Information Retrieval (IR) methods for scientific documents have proven effective for IR applications, such as Plagiarism Detection or Literature Recommender Systems in academic disciplines that use many references. In science, technology

Evaluating the thermal performance of perovskite SrSnO3 field effect transistors

July 13, 2023
Author(s)
Bivek Bista, Prafful Golani, Fengdeng Liu, Tristan Truttmann, Georges Pavlidis, Andrea Centrone, Bharat Jalan, Steven Koester
Given the ever increasing, global electricity consumption, improving the efficiency and reliability of high-power electronics is of paramount importance. Ultra-wide band gap (> 3.4 eV) semiconductors have shown the potential to be used in the next

Magnetic tunnel junction-based crossbars: improving neural network performance by reducing the impact of non-idealities

July 13, 2023
Author(s)
William Borders, Nitin Prasad, Brian Hoskins, Advait Madhavan, Matthew Daniels, Vasileia Gerogiou, Tiffany Santos, Patrick Braganca, Mark Stiles, Jabez J. McClelland
Increasingly higher demand in chip area and power consumption for more sophisticated artificial neural networks has catalyzed efforts to develop architectures, circuits, and devices that perform like the human brain. However, many novel device technologies

Characterization of Noise in CMOS Ring Oscillators at Cryogenic Temperatures

July 12, 2023
Author(s)
Prashansa Mukim, Pragya Shrestha, Advait Madhavan, Nitin Prasad, Jason Campbell, Forrest Brewer, Mark Stiles, Jabez J. McClelland
Allan deviation provides a means to characterize the time-dependence of noise in oscillators and potentially identify the source characteristics. Measurements on a 130nm, 7-stage ring oscillator show that the Allan deviation declines from 300K to 150K as

Classification and Authentication of Materials using Prompt Gamma Ray Activation Analysis

July 12, 2023
Author(s)
Nathan Mahynski, Jacob Monroe, David Sheen, Rick L. Paul, Heather H. Chen-Mayer, Vincent K. Shen
Prompt gamma ray activation analysis (PGAA) is a non-destructive nuclear measurement technique that quantifies isotopes present in a sample. Here, we use PGAA spectra to train different types of models to elucidate how discriminating these spectra are for

Graphene-Based Star-Mesh Resistance Networks

Author(s)
Dean G. Jarrett, Ching-Chen Yeh, Shamith Payagala, Alireza Panna, Yanfei Yang, Linli Meng, Swapnil Mhatre, Ngoc Thanh Mai Tran, Heather Hill, Dipanjan Saha, Randolph Elmquist, David B. Newell, Albert Rigosi

SMET: Semantic Mapping of CVE to ATT&CK and its Application to Cyber Security

July 12, 2023
Author(s)
Abdeen Basel, Ehab Al-Sheer, Anoop Singhal, Latifur Khan, Kevin Hamlen
Cybercriminals relentlessly pursue vulnerabilities across cyberspace to exploit software, threatening the security of individuals, organizations, and governments. Although security teams strive to establish defense measures to thwart attackers, the

Measuring Firebrand Heat Flux with a Thin-Skin Calorimeter

July 11, 2023
Author(s)
Amy Mensch, Savannah Wessies, Anthony Hamins, Jiann C. Yang
While the impact of wildland-urban interface fires is growing, firebrand exposure is a significant but not well understood contributor to fire spread. The ignition threat of firebrand exposures can be characterized by measuring the heat transfer of glowing

Multi-mode Gaussian State Analysis with Total Photon Counting

July 11, 2023
Author(s)
Arik Avagyan, Scott Glancy, Emanuel Knill
The continuing improvement in the qualities of photon-number-resolving (PNR) detectors opens new possibilities for measuring quantum states of light. In this work we consider the question of what properties of an arbitrary multi-mode Gaussian state are

On the challenge of unambiguous identification of fentanyl analogs: exploring measurement diversity using standard reference mass spectral libraries

July 11, 2023
Author(s)
Arun Moorthy, Edward Erisman, Anthony J. Kearsley, Yuxue Liang, Edward Sisco, William E. Wallace
Fentanyl analogs are a class of designer drugs that are particularly challenging to unambiguously identify due to the mass spectral and retention time similarities of unique compounds. In this paper, we use agglomerative hierarchical clustering to explore

2023 NIST OWM S&T Analysis
