Microwave Determination of the Volume of a Pressure Vessel

December 9, 2014
Author(s)
Michael R. Moldover, James W. Schmidt, Keith A. Gillis, James B. Mehl, John D. Wright
Using microwave techniques that are scalable to very large volumes, we measured the interior volume of a 0.3 m 3, commercially-manufactured, pressure vessel with an uncertainty of 0.05 %, as confirmed by independent, more-accurate, gas-expansion

Generation of bright phase-matched circularly-polarized extreme ultraviolet high harmonics

December 8, 2014
Author(s)
Justin M. Shaw, Patrik Grychtol, Dmitriy Zusin, Ronny J. Knut, Tenio Popmintchev, Hans T. Nembach, Avner Fleischer, Henry Kapteyn, Margaret Murnane, Ofer Kfir, Oren Cohen
Circularly-polarized extreme UV and X-ray radiation provides valuable access to the structural, electronic and magnetic properties of materials. To date, this capability was available only at large-scale X-ray free-electron lasers or synchrotrons. Here we

High Resolution Surface Plasmon Resonance Imaging for Single Cells

December 1, 2014
Author(s)
Alexander W. Peterson, Michael W. Halter, Alessandro Tona, Anne L. Plant
Background Surface plasmon resonance imaging (SPRI) is a label-free technique that can image refractive index changes at an interface. We have previously shown that SPRI can be used to study the dynamics of cell-substratum interactions. However

Characterization of AlgMsp, an Alginate Lyase from Microbulbifer sp. 6532A

November 19, 2014
Author(s)
Jeffrey W. Hudgens, Steven M. Swift, Ryan D. Heselpoth, Patrick M. Bales, Daniel C. Nelson
Alginate is a polysaccharide produced by certain seaweeds and bacteria that consists of mannuronic acid and guluronic acid residues. Seaweed alginate is used in food and industrial chemical processes, while the biosynthesis of bacterial alginate is

Accurate determination of the size distribution for polydisperse, cationic metallic nanomaterials by asymmetric-flow field flow fractionation

November 13, 2014
Author(s)
Julien C. Gigault, Thao M. Nguyen, John M. Pettibone, Vincent A. Hackley
In this work we have developed and validated a methodology for determining the size distribution in polydisperse cationic nanoparticle (NP) samples using asymmetric-flow field flow fractionation (A4F), where known compositional influence of previously used

Line shapes, positions and intensities of water transitions near 1.28 microns

November 7, 2014
Author(s)
Vincent T. Sironneau, Joseph T. Hodges
We present measurements of approximately 70 isolated, self-broadened, water vapor lines which are assigned to the (1,0,1)(0,0,0), (0,0,2)(0,0,0), (1,2,0)(0,0,0), and (2,0,0)(0,0,0) vibrational bands and which occur in the transparency window region

Observations of Dicke narrowing and speed dependence in air-broadened CO2 lineshape near 2.06 um

November 3, 2014
Author(s)
Thinh Q. Bui, David Long, Agata Cygan, Vincent T. Sironneau, Daniel Hogan, Priyanka M. Rapusinghe, Mitchio Okumura
Frequency-stabilized cavity ring-down spectroscopy (FS-CRDS) was used to study CO2 lineshapes in the (20013)←(00001) band centered near 2.06 um. Two rovibrational transitions were chosen for this study to measure non-Voigt collisional effects for air

Frequency-Comb-Based Remote Sensing of Greenhouse Gases over Kilometer Air Paths

October 29, 2014
Author(s)
Greg B. Rieker, Fabrizio R. Giorgetta, William C. Swann, Jonathan Kofler, Alexander M. Zolot, Laura C. Sinclair, Esther Baumann, Christopher L. Cromer, G. Petron, Colm Sweeney, P P. Tans, Ian R. Coddington, Nathan R. Newbury
We demonstrate frequency comb tooth-by-tooth measurements of atmospheric gas absorption across a 2-km, turbulent, open-air path through coherent dual-comb spectroscopy. High accuracy, high signal-to-noise transmission spectra are acquired spanning 5990 to

Path degeneracy and EXAFS analysis of disordered materials

October 24, 2014
Author(s)
Bruce D. Ravel
The analysis of EXAFS data measured on a material with a disordered local configuration environment around the absorbing atom can be challenging due to the proliferation of photoelectron scattering paths that must be considered in the analysis. In the case

Modeling RP-1 fuel advanced distillation data using comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography coupled with time-of-flight mass spectrometry and partial least squares analysis

October 15, 2014
Author(s)
Thomas J. Bruno, Benjamin Kehimkar, Brendon Parsons, Jamin C. Hoggard, M. C. Billingsley, R. E. Synovec
Recent efforts in predicting rocket propulsion (RP-1) fuel performance through modeling put greater emphasis on obtaining detailed and accurate fuel properties, as well as to elucidate the relationships between fuel composition and their properties. Herein

Inhibition of cellular proliferation and enhancement of hydrogen peroxide production in fibrosarcoma cell line by weak radio frequency magnetic fields

September 23, 2014
Author(s)
Pablo Castello, Iain Hill, Lucas Portelli, Frank Barnes, Robert J. Usselman, Carlos Martino
This study presents experimental data for the effects of weak radio frequency (RF) magnetic fields on hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) production and cellular growth rates of fibrosarcoma HT1080 cells in vitro. Cells were exposed either to 45mT static magnetic

Photochemical Properties of Hydrofluoroethers CH3OCHF2, CH3OCF3, and CHF2OCH2CF3: Reactivity toward OH, IR Absorption Cross Sections, Atmospheric Lifetimes and Global Warming Potentials

September 22, 2014
Author(s)
Vladimir L. Orkin, Victor Khamaganov, A G. Guschin
Rate constants for the gas phase reactions of OH radicals with three partially fluorinated ethers, CH3OCF3 (kHFE-143a), CH3OCHF2 (kHFE-152a), and CHF2OCH2CF3 (kHFE-245fa), were measured using a discharge flow – electron paramagnetic resonance technique
