Optical Scanner for Immunoassays with Up-Converting Phosphorescent Labels
Our results suggest that a simple 2-D imaging system can speed assay development, reduce errors, and improve accuracy by characterizing the spatial distribution and uniformity of surface-captured optical labels as…

Low-Lying Electronic States and Dissociation Energies of the Monochlorides of Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, and Ni
Published equilibrium data involving the gaseous monochlorides of Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, and Ni have been re-examined by thermochemical analysis, using more recent information on the low-lying electronic states, yielding…

Inor 121-Adventures in actinide coordination chemistry with Raymond ligands
There is a renewed effort to develop Raymond ligands as therapeutic agents for actinide decorporation that will be discussed.

Field Desorption Ion Source Development for Neutron Generators
A new approach to deuterium ion sources for deuterium-tritium neutron generators is being developed. The source is based upon the field desorption of deuterium from the surfaces of metal tips.

High Electromechanical Performance of Electroelastomers Based on Interpenetrating Polymer Networks
The electromechanical performance of interpenetrating polymer networks (IPN) in which one elastomer network is under high tension balanced by compression of the second network, were investigated.

Orthogonal Gas Sensor Arrays with Intelligent Algorithms for Early Warning of Electrical Fires
The feasibility of utilizing chemical sensor arrays and multivariable analyses as the basis for an early-warning combustion alarm for electrical fires was evaluated.

Moisture Induced Electron Traps and Hysteresis in Pentacene-Based Organic Thin-Film Transistors
Previous work revealed that electron traps in pentacene formed in air cause hysteresis in thin-film transistor characteristics. Here, we experimentally showed that water vapor, rather than oxygen, is responsible for these hysteresis-causing trap states.

Role of Nucleation on the Growth of Nanocrystalline Diamond (NCD) Films: a Particular Study in the Fabrication of Micro-Cantilevers
It was observed that the films grown after pre-treating the substrates in pure nanodiamond slurry have not provided a complete coverage at the anchor regions of the cantilevers due to…

Threshold Collision-Induced Dissociation of Hydrogen-Bonded Dimers of Carboxylic Acids
Energy-resolved competitive collision-induced dissociation is used to investigate the proton-bound heterodimer anions of a series of carboxylic acids (formic, acetic, and benzoic acid) and nitrous acid with their conjugate bases.

New Proton Conductive Composite Materials with Inorganic and Styrene Grafted and Sulfonated Vdf/Ctfe Fluoropolymers
A new functionalized and crosslinkable P(VDF-CTFE) (vinylidene fluoride/chlorotrifluoroethylene copolymer) was synthesized using functional borane/oxygen initiator and grafted with styrene (St) via atom transfer radical polymerization followed by partial or the…
