Assessing Structural Performance Using Energy

June 30, 2024
Author(s)
Kevin K F Wong
Buildings in seismic regions are designed to sustain significant damage during major earthquakes with collapse. Traditional linear design procedures use a force-based approach to size the building structural members. Alternatively, performance-based

Perfect cheating is impossible for single-qubit position verification

June 28, 2024
Author(s)
Carl A. Miller, Yusuf Alnawakhtha
In quantum position verification, a prover certifies her location by performing a quantum computation and returning the results (at the speed of light) to a set of trusted verifiers. One of the very first protocols for quantum position verification was

Single-Phase L10-Ordered High Entropy Thin Films with High Magnetic Anisotropy

June 28, 2024
Author(s)
Willie Beeson, Dinesh Bista, Huairuo Zhang, Sergiy Krylyuk, Albert Davydov, Gen Yin, Kai Liu
The vast high entropy alloy (HEA) composition space is promising for discovery of new material phases with unique properties. We explore the potential to achieve high magnetic anisotropy materials in single-phase HEA thin films. Thin films of FeCoNiMnCu

Leveraging Combinatorial Coverage in the Machine Learning Product Lifecycle

June 27, 2024
Author(s)
Jaganmohan Chandrasekaran, erin lanus, tyler cody, laura freeman, Raghu N. Kacker, M S Raunak, D. Richard Kuhn
The data-intensive nature of machine learning (ML)-enabled systems introduces unique challenges in test and evaluation. We present an overview of combinatorial coverage, exploring its applications across the ML-enabled system lifecycle and its potential to

Exact and approximate fluxonium array modes

June 26, 2024
Author(s)
Stephen Sorokanich, Neill Warrington, Max Hays
We present an exact solution for the array modes of fluxonium. This solution holds for arrays of any length and ground capacitance. Array mode energies are determined by convex combinations of Chebyshev polynomials and their spatial profiles are plane

Measuring the Exploitation of Weaknesses in the Wild

June 26, 2024
Author(s)
Peter Mell, Irena Bojanova, Carlos Eduardo Cardoso Galhardo
Identifying the software weaknesses exploited by attacks supports efforts to reduce developer introduction of vulnerabilities and to guide security code review efforts. A weakness is a bug or fault type that can be exploited through an operation that

Cannabis Laboratory Quality Assurance Program: Exercise 2 Cannabinoid Final Report

June 25, 2024
Author(s)
Andrea Yarberry, Melissa M. Phillips, Walter Brent Wilson
NIST launched a Cannabis Laboratory Quality Assurance Program (CannaQAP) in 2020 to assist laboratories in demonstrating and improving cannabis (hemp and marijuana) measurement comparability and competence. CannaQAP provides tools that allow analysts and

Fully integrated multifunctional sensor and open-source ASIC for flexible wearables

June 25, 2024
Author(s)
Anhang Li, Hongyi Wu, Ashbir Aviat Fadila, Chanho Kye, Arvind Balijepalli, Johan Euphrosine, Tim Ansell, Nigel Coburn, Sachin Nadig, Mehdi Saligane
The open-source hardware movement has made significant progress over the past few years. Increasingly, more individuals are engaging with and participating in the open-source chip design community - not only to design their own chips with the available

High resolution X-ray Spectra of the Time Evolution of Emission from Metastable Electronic States of Highly Charged Ni-like Ions

June 25, 2024
Author(s)
Timothy Burke, Endre Takacs, Dipti Dipti, Adam Hosier, Galen O'Neil, Hunter Staiger, Joseph N. Tan, Aung S. Naing, Joan Marler, Yuri Ralchenko
Metastable levels of highly charged ions that can only decay via highly forbidden transitions can have a significant effect on the properties of high temperature plasmas. For example the highly forbidden 3d10 J=0 - 3d94s ( 5 2 , 1 2 )J=3 magnetic octupole

Whirang Cho, Lucas Flagg, Christopher Stafford, Jeremiah Woodcock, Daniel Burnett, Anett Kondor, Douglas Fox, John Hoffmann
Polymer-based functional surface coatings are extensively used in advanced technologies, including optics, energy, and environmental applications. Surface thermodynamic properties profoundly impact the molecular interactions that control interfacial

GPU-accelerated parallel image reconstruction strategies for magnetic particle imaging

June 24, 2024
Author(s)
Klaus Natorf Quelhas, Mark-Alexander Henn, Ricardo Farias, Weston L. Tew, Solomon I. Woods
Image reconstruction is a fundamental step in Magnetic Particle Imaging (MPI). Since it was developed, several methods have been studied to perform more efficient and accurate reconstructions. One of the challenges of MPI is the fact that the
