We make glassy water in the form of nanofibers by electrospraying liquid water into a hyperquenching chamber. It is measured with means of differential scanning calorimetry, wide angle X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. It is found that two apparent glass transitions at Tg1 = 136 K and Tg2 = 228 K are detected and non-crystallized water is observed at temperatures up to 228 K. This findi...

The distribution and enrichment of naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORM) in coal combustion residuals (CCRs) from different coal source basins have not been fully characterized in the United States. Here we provide a systematic analysis of the occurrence of NORM ((232)Th, (228)Ra, (238)U, (226)Ra, and (210)Pb) in coals and associated CCRs from the Illinois, Appalachian, and Powder Ri...

Pseudoaneurysm is a rare complication of arteriovenous-grafts (AVGs) used in hemodialysis patients. Rupture and bleeding are the most common complications. In this case report, I present the case of a successful repair of an infected pseudoaneurysm that occurred at the AVG, its surgical ligation and the insertion of a new graft segment.

Two fundamental problems scheduling and routing present themselves in the networking field. Although some ”easy” routing algorithms based upon single constraint optimization exist, we will see that routing with multiple constraints becomes computationally difficult. In order to quantify their intractability, a brief overview of complexity theory will first be presented and then applied to routi...

Infection with an endoparasite frequently alters host behaviour. This study provides the first quantification of larval behaviour in a baculovirus / Lepidoptera system, and attempts to assess the ecological consequences of behavioural modification during infection. Larvae of the moth Mamestra brassicae (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) exhibited higher rates of dispersal in the laboratory and field when...

For UAS, the removal of the pilot from onboard the aircraft has eliminated the ability of the ground based pilot in command (PIC) to use out-the-window visual information to make judgments about a potential threat of a loss of well clear with another aircraft. As a result, the DAA traffic display will be the primary source of information that the PIC can use to execute the three primary well cl...
