Joshua Hammons, J. Ali Espitia, Erika Ramos, Rongpei Shi, Frederick Meisenkothen, Marissa Wood, Maira Ceron-Hernandez, Jianchao Ye
Garnet-type solid-state electrolytes have significant advantages over liquid organic electrolytes but require energy-intensive sintering to achieve high density and ionic conductivity. The aim of this study is to understand the chemical and microstructural

A Template for the Validation of DART-MS for Qualitative Seized Drugs Analysis

March 10, 2022
Author(s)
Edward Sisco, Amber Burns, Elizabeth Schneider, Laurel Bobka, Ikenna Ikpeama
Direct analysis in real time mass spectrometry (DART-MS) is an increasingly employed tool for a wide range of forensic applications including seized drug analysis. A significant body of research surrounds DART-MS for the analysis of seized drugs and how it

Calorimetry in Computed Tomography Beams

March 10, 2022
Author(s)
Heather H. Chen-Mayer, Ronald Tosh, Fred B. Bateman, Paul Bergstrom, Brian E. Zimmerman
A portable calorimeter for direct realization of absorbed dose in medical computed tomography (CT) procedures was constructed and tested in a positron emission tomography (PET) CT scanner. The calorimeter consists of two small thermistors embedded in a

Characterization of backdrafts generated from methane fires

March 10, 2022
Author(s)
Ryan Falkenstein-Smith, Christopher U. Brown, Thomas Cleary
An analysis of oxygen concentration measurements is conducted to investigate compartment ventilation before a potential backdraft phenomenon. Experiments are performed in a 2/5th scale compartment of varying configurations such as fuel flow time, spark

Non-magnetic ion site disorder effects on the quantum magnetism of a spin-1/2 equilateral triangular lattice antiferromagnet

March 10, 2022
Author(s)
Qing Huang, R. Rawl, W. W. Xie, E. S. Chou, V. S. Zapf, X. X. Ding, C. Mauws, C. R. Wiebe, E. X. Feng, H. B. Cao, W. Tian, J. Ma, Yiming Qiu, Nicholas Butch, H. D. Zhou
With the motivation to study how non-magnetic ion site disorder affects the quantum magnetism of Ba3CoSb2O9, a spin-1/2 equilateral triangular lattice antiferromagnet, we performed DC and AC susceptibility, specific heat, elastic and inelastic neutron

March 10, 2022
Author(s)
Shengqing Xiao, Dimitri Nefodov, Mark O. McLinden, Markus Richter, Thorsten Urbaneck
In the context of the global energy transition, solar energy holds a promising potential as an energy source for a sustainable heat supply. Solar thermal collector in combination with heat pump technology utilizing electricity from renewable sources, such

A Tool to Model Virus Particle Exposure in Residences (ViPER)

March 9, 2022
Author(s)
Stephen Zimmerman, Brian Polidoro, Lisa Ng, William Stuart Dols, Steven Emmerich
Virus Particle Exposure in Residences (ViPER) is a web-based, single zone indoor air quality and ventilation analysis tool developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for evaluating an occupant's relative exposure to virus-laden

Author(s)
Marcia L. Huber, Richard A. Perkins, Marc Assael, Stella Monogenidou, Robert Hellmann, Jan Sengers
The International Association for the Properties of Water and Steam (IAPWS) has adopted a new formulation for the thermodynamic properties of heavy water. This manuscript describes the development of a new correlation for the thermal conductivity of heavy

Versailles Project on Advanced Materials and Standards (VAMAS) Interlaboratory Study on Measuring the Number Concentration of colloidal gold nanoparticles

March 9, 2022
Author(s)
Caterina Minelli, Karen E. Murphy, Monique Johnson, Antonio Montoro Bustos, Jeffrey Fagan, Ingo Strenge
We describe the outcome of an international interlaboratory study of the measurement of particle number concentration of colloidal nanoparticles, project 10 of the technical working area 34, "Nanoparticle Populations" of the Versailles Project on Advanced

ZKASP: ZKP-based Attestation of Software Possession for Measuring Instruments

March 9, 2022
Author(s)
Luis Brandao, Carlos Eduardo Cardoso Galhardo, Rene Peralta
Software-controlled measuring instruments used in commercial transactions, such as fuel dispensers and smart meters, are sometimes subject to "memory replacement" attacks. Cybercriminals replace the approved software by a malicious one that then tampers

A Kinetic Mechanism for CF3I Inhibition of Methane-Air Flames

March 8, 2022
Author(s)
Valeri I. Babushok, Donald R. Burgess Jr., Gregory T. Linteris
The influence of CF3I on the burning velocity of methane–air flame is experimentally and numerically studied. Experimental results demonstrate that the inhibition effectiveness of CF3I is very close to that of CF3Br. A detailed kinetic model of flame

Nanoscale Photoexcited Carrier Dynamics in Perovskites
