Spatially-Dependent Model for Rods and Cones in the Retina

December 14, 2023
Author(s)
Daniel M. Anderson, Danielle Brager, Anthony J. Kearsley
We develop a mathematical model for photoreceptors in the retina. We focus on rod and cone outer segment dynamics and interactions with a nutrient source associated with the retinal pigment epithelium cells. Rod and cone densities (number per unit area of

Inferring the nominal molecular mass of an analyte from its electron ionization mass spectrum

August 23, 2023
Author(s)
Arun Moorthy, Anthony J. Kearsley, William Mallard, William E. Wallace, Stephen E. Stein
The performance of three algorithms for predicting nominal molecular mass from an analyte's electron ionization mass spectrum is presented. The Peak Interpretation Method (PIM) attempts to quantify the likelihood that a molecular ion peak is contained in

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

Graph Convolutional Neural Network Applied to the Prediction of Normal Boiling Point

February 4, 2022
Author(s)
Chen Qu, Anthony J. Kearsley, Barry I. Schneider, Walid Keyrouz, Thomas C. Allison
In this article, we describe training and validation of a machine learning model for the prediction of organic compound normal boiling points. Data are drawn from the experimental literature as captured in the NIST Thermodynamics Research Center (TRC)

Optofluidic Flow Meter for sub-nanoliter per minute flow measurements

January 31, 2022
Author(s)
Jalal Sadeghi, Paul Patrone, Anthony J. Kearsley, Gregory A. Cooksey
Performance improvements in microfluidic systems depend on accurate measurement and control of fluids on the micro- and nanoscale, and new applications are continuously moving the needle to lower volumetric flow rates. This work focuses on improving an

Smoothing Techniques in Dynamic Building System Simulation

August 27, 2021
Author(s)
Zhelun Chen, Jin Wen, Anthony J. Kearsley, Amanda Pertzborn
Efficiently, robustly, and accurately solving systems of nonlinear differential algebraic equations (DAE) for dynamic building system simulation is becoming more important due to the increasing demand to simulate large-scale problems including the

Failure mechanisms in DNA self-assembly: Barriers to single fold yield

February 23, 2021
Author(s)
Jacob Majikes, Paul Patrone, Anthony J. Kearsley, Michael P. Zwolak, James Liddle
Understanding the folding process of DNA origami is a critical steppingstone to the broader implementation of nucleic acid nanofabrication technology but is notably non-trivial. Origami are formed by several hundred cooperative hybridization events – folds

DYNAMIC MEASUREMENT OF NANOLITER PER MINUTE FLOW BY SCALED DOSAGE OF FLUORESCENT SOLUTIONS

October 3, 2020
Author(s)
Gregory A. Cooksey, Paul Patrone, James R. Hands, Stephen E. Meek, Anthony J. Kearsley
This work describes a new method for continuous measurement of flow in a microchannel from 1 nL/min to 1000 nL/min using an optofluidic device with waveguides that deliver and collect light from small regions of a microfluidic channel. By relating the

Diffusion-limited reactions in nanoscale electronics

September 22, 2020
Author(s)
Ryan Evans, Arvind Balijepalli, Anthony J. Kearsley
To quantify interactions between drug molecules and target receptors, a novel nanoscale electronics instrument is under development. The instrument consists of two regions: a biological region, and an electronics region. The biological region consists of a

Measuring Microfluidic Flow Rates: Monotonicity, Convexity and Uncertainty

August 20, 2020
Author(s)
Paul Patrone, Qing Hai Li, Gregory A. Cooksey, Anthony J. Kearsley
A class of non-linear integro-differential equations characterizing microfluidic measurements is considered. Under reasonable conditions, these non-linear integro-differential equations admit solutions that are convex functions of an interesting flow-rate

Revealing thermodynamics of DNA origami folding via affine transformations

June 4, 2020
Author(s)
Jacob M. Majikes, Paul N. Patrone, Daniel R. Schiffels, Michael P. Zwolak, Anthony J. Kearsley, Samuel P. Forry, James A. Liddle
Structural DNA nanotechnology, as exemplified by DNA origami, has enabled the design and construction of molecularly precise objects for a myriad of applications. However, limitations in imaging, and other characterization approaches, make a quantitative
