Flow Resistance & Structures in Viscoelastic Channel Flows at Low Re

November 5, 2019
Author(s)
Boyang Qin, Paul Salipante, Steven Hudson, Paulo E. Arratia
The flow of viscoelastic fluids in channels and pipes remain poorly understood, particularly at low Reynolds numbers. Here, we investigate the flow of polymeric solutions in straight channels using pressure measurements and particle tracking. The law of

Active Learning Yields Better Training Data for Scientific Named Entity Recognition

November 1, 2019
Author(s)
Roselyne B. Tchoua, Aswathy Ajith, Zhi Hong, Logan T. Ward, Kyle Chard, Debra Audus, Shrayesh N. Patel, Juan J. de Pablo
Despite significant progress in natural language processing, machine learning models require substantial expert-annotated training data to perform well in tasks such as named entity recognition (NER) and entity relations extraction. Furthermore, NER is

Validating Predictive Models with Outdoor Data

October 17, 2019
Author(s)
Christopher C. White, Donald L. Hunston, Li Piin Sung, Hsiang C. Hsueh, Adam L. Pintar, Deborah S. Jacobs
The NIST service life prediction program has demonstrated success in producing validated predictions for the property change resulting from outdoor exposure for a range of polymer systems including Epoxy, Polyethylene, Polyester, Polyethylene terephthalate

Biomimetic Approach to Inhibition of Photooxidation in Organic Solar Cells Using Beta-Carotene as an Additive

October 14, 2019
Author(s)
Sebastian Engmann, Vida Turkovic, Michela Prete, Mikkel Bregnhoj, Liana Inasaridze, Dmytro Volyniuk, Filipp Obrezkov, Juozas V. Grazulevicius, Horst G. Rubahn, Pavel Troshin, Peter R. Ogilby, M. Madsen
Recent improvements in the power conversion efficiencies of organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells have highlighted the fact that OPV device lifetimes are now the main bottleneck for further advances of this technology. As such, understanding and controlling

Chain and Ion Dynamics in Precise Polyethylene Ionomers

October 11, 2019
Author(s)
Christopher L. Soles, Amalie Frischknecht, Benjamin Paren, Robert Middleton, Karen Winey, Jason Koski, Madhu Sudan Tyagi, Jacob Daniel Tarver
We analyze the dynamics from microsecond-long, atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of a series of precise poly(ethylene-co-acrylic acid) ionomers neutralized with lithium, with three different spacer lengths between acid groups on the ionomers

Degradation of sunglasses filters after long-term irradiation within solar simulator

September 18, 2019
Author(s)
Deborah Jacobs, Mauro Masili, Fernanda O. Duarte, Liliane Ventura, Christopher C. White
In our previous investigations on sunglasses standards, limits and requirements have been suggested for ocular safety. In this paper we evaluate the degradation of the lenses (category and ultraviolet protection) as sunglasses are exposed to solar

Contactless Resonant Cavity Dielectric Spectroscopic Studies of Cellulosic Paper Aging

August 28, 2019
Author(s)
Mary Kombolias, Jan Obrzut, Michael T. Postek, Dianne L. Poster, Yaw S. Obeng
The current analytical techniques for characterizing printing and graphic arts substrates, particularly those used to date and to authenticate provenance, are largely ex situ and destructive. This limits the amount of data that can be captured from an
