A Diploid Assembly-based Benchmark for Variants in The Major Histocompatibility Complex

September 22, 2020
Author(s)
Justin M. Zook, Justin M. Wagner, Chen-Shan Chin, Qiandong Zeng, Alexander Dilthey, Tobias Marschall, Mikko Rautiainen, Erik Garrison, Shilpa Garg
Most human genomes are characterized by aligning individual reads to the reference genome, but accurate long reads and linked reads now enable us to construct accurate, phased de novo assemblies. We focus on a medically important, highly variable, 5

Chapter 8: Machine Performance Evaluation

September 22, 2020
Author(s)
Shawn Moylan
Machine performance evaluation is vital for objectively demonstrating that a machine can meet specification, standards and quality management system, and for allowing users to make informed decisions on how to best use their resources. Although additive

Data Integrity Recovering from Ransomware and Other Destructive Events

September 22, 2020
Author(s)
Anne R. Townsend, Timothy J. McBride, Lauren N. Lusty, Julian T. Sexton, Michael R. Ekstrom
Businesses face a near-constant threat of destructive malware, ransomware, malicious insider activities, and even honest mistakes that can alter or destroy critical data. These data corruption events could cause a significant loss to a company’s reputation

Differential equations for critical curves of fluid mixtures

September 22, 2020
Author(s)
Ian Bell, Ulrich K. Deiters
A novel, particularly robust method for the calculation of critical curves of fluid mixtures is proposed that makes use of differential equations representing the critical conditions (isochoric thermodynamics formalism). These differential equations are

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

Elucidating the Structure of the Metal-Organic Framework Ru-HKUST-1

September 22, 2020
Author(s)
Gregory R. Lorzing, Krista P. Balto, Alexandra M. Antonio, Benjamin Trump, Craig Brown, Eric D. Bloch
Ru-HKUST-1 (Ru 3(btc) 2X 1.5; btc 3– = 1,3,5-benzentricarboxylate; X –^ = chloride, acetate, trimesate) has received considerable attention as a result of its structure type, tunability, and the redox-active nature of its constituent metal paddlewheel

Quantum Randomness from Probability Estimation with Classical Side Information

September 22, 2020
Author(s)
Emanuel Knill, Yanbao Zhang, Peter L. Bierhorst
We develop a framework for certifying randomness from Bell-test trials based on directly estimating the probability of the measurement outcomes with adaptive test supermartingales. The number of trials need not be predetermined, and one can stop performing

Development of a transition-edge sensor bilayer process providing new modalities for critical temperature control

September 21, 2020
Author(s)
Joel Weber, Kelsey Morgan, Daikang Yan, Christine Pappas, Abigail Wessels, Galen O'Neil, Douglas Bennett, Gene C. Hilton, Daniel Swetz, Joel Ullom, Dan Schmidt
Transition-edge sensors (TESs) are thermal detectors in which a superconducting film that is electrically biased in the superconducting-to-normal transition is used as a thermometer. In most TESs, the film is a superconductor-normal metal bilayer where the

Scaling Relationships for the Elastic Moduli and Viscosity of Mixed Lipid Membranes

September 21, 2020
Author(s)
Elizabeth Kelley, Paul Butler, Rana Ashkar, Robert Bradbury, Michihiro Nagao
The elastic and viscous properties of biological membranes play a vital role in controlling cell functions that require local reorganization of the membrane components as well as dramatic shape changes such as endocytosis, vesicular trafficking, and cell

Time-Resolving Quantum Measurement Enables Energy-Efficient, Large-Alphabet Communication

September 21, 2020
Author(s)
Ivan Burenkov, Jabir Marakkarakath Vadakkepurayil, Abdella Battou, Sergey Polyakov
Information exchange requires a measurement of physical states. Because quantum measurements enable accuracy beyond the classical shot-noise limit, they are successfully used to develop measurement tools and applications. In particular, quantum-measurement

Vulnerability trends in web servers and browsers

September 21, 2020
Author(s)
M S Raunak, D. Richard Kuhn, Richard Kogut, Raghu N. Kacker
In previous work we have looked at trends in vulnerabilities due to ordinary programming errors [2, 3]. This analysis focuses on two of the most widely used types of software in today's internet, web browsers and web servers. In addition to reports of

Probing Pluripotency Gene Regulatory Networks with Live Cell Imaging

September 20, 2020
Author(s)
Anne Plant, Michael Halter, Jeffrey R. Stinson
Live cell imaging uniquely enables the measurement of dynamic events in single cells, but it has not been used often in the study of gene regulatory networks. Network components can be examined in relation to one another by quantitative live cell imaging

Reliable, High-Performance Wireless Systems for Factory Automation

September 17, 2020
Author(s)
Kang B. Lee, Rick Candell, Hans-Peter Bernhard, Dave Cavalcanti, Zhibo Pang, Inaki Val
Wireless has emerged as an enabling technology to improve operational flexibility and efficiency for factory automation. The latest wireless technology, standardization activities, and research issues were explored and discussed through the examination of

Broadband Microwave Signal Dissipation in Nanostructured Copper Oxide at Air/Film Interface

September 17, 2020
Author(s)
Yaw S. Obeng, Papa K. Amoah, Christopher E. Sunday, Jesus Perez, Uros Cvelbar, Martin Kosicek
Contactless broadband microwave spectroscopic technique (a.k.a., broadband dielectric spectroscopy (BDS)) enables the accurate operando analysis of the electrical and magnetic properties applying without compromising the kinetic conditions of the

Enhanced transport of spin-orbit coupled Bose gases in disordered potentials

September 17, 2020
Author(s)
Yuchen Yue, Ian Spielman, Carlos S? de Melo
Anderson localization is single particle localization phenomena in disordered media that is accompanied by an absence of diffusion. Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) describes an interaction between a particle's spin and its momentum that directly affects its

Internet of Things (IoT) Component Capability Model for Research Testbed
