Nanoporous Silica-Water Interfaces Studied By Sum-Frequency Vibrational Spectroscopy
Using sum-frequency vibrational spectroscopy, we found that waterstructure at nanoporous silica/water interfaces depended on the nanoporous film structure.

Development of a Transillumination Infrared Modality for Differential Vasoactive Optical Imaging
We present the development and implementation of a new near infrared transillumination imaging modality for tissue imaging. Exogenous inhaled hyperoxic and hypercarbic gases are used as "vasoactive contrast agents" via…

Scaleable Manufacture of HIV-1 Entry Inhibitor Griffithsin and Validation of Its Safety and Efficacy as a Topical Microbicide Component
We report a manufacturing breakthrough for griffithsin (GRFT), one of the most potent HIV entry inhibitors. Plant-produced GRFT (GRFT-P) was shown as active against HIV at picomolar concentrations, directly virucidal…

Mesomechanical Constitutive Relations for Glass and Ceramic Armor
We describe a model that uses microfailure and fragment flow constitutive data, show how the model links to continuum models, and compare computational results with glass penetration tests.

Comparison of AMIE-Modeled and Sondrestrom-Measured Joule Heating: a Study in Model Resolution and Electric Field-Conductivity Correlation
We investigate by comparing the Joule heating measured by the Sondrestrom incoherent scatter radar during a storm with that modeled by the Assimilative Mapping of Ionospheric Electrodynamics (AMIE) procedure.

Femtosecond Laser Photoionization Time-Of-Flight Mass Spectrometry of Nitro-Aromatic Explosives and Explosives Related Compounds
The ultrafast laser-induced photoionization and photodissociation processes of the nitroaromatic containing explosive and explosive related compounds have been investigated at three laser wavelengths and power densities using a time-of-flight mass…

Combinatorial Chemistry: Oh What a Decade or Two Can Do
This short commentary takes a stroll through the early days of the field of combinatorial chemistry and molecular diversity. It offers a high-level perspective on the field's beginnings--and its future--as…

Experimental Evaluation of Barrier Walls for Risk Reduction of Unintended Hydrogen Releases
One possible mitigation strategy to reduce exposure to jet flames is to incorporate barriers around hydrogen storage and delivery equipment.

Simulation of a Process to Capture CO2 from IGCC Syngas Using a High Temperature PBI Membrane
In this paper, we are presenting the preliminary results of a process simulation using the ASPEN program under several scenerios including the IGCC with no CO2 capture, IGCC with Selexol, and…

The Influence of the Band Structure of Epitaxial Graphene on Sicon the Transistor Characteristics
We fabricated high-mobility field-effect transistors based on epitaxial graphene synthesized by vacuum graphitization of both the Si- and C-faces of SiC.

Morphology of Graphene on Sic (000 1-) Surfaces
Graphene is formed on SiC(000-1) surfaces (the so-called C-face of the crystal) by annealing in vacuum, with the resulting films characterized by atomic force microscopy, Auger electron spectroscopy, scanning Auger…
