Organic wavelength-selective mirrors are used to reduce the loss of emitted photons through the surface of a luminescent solar concentrator (LSC). A theoretical calculation suggests that application of a 400 nm broad reflector on top of an LSC containing BASF Lumogen Red 305 as a luminophore can reflect 91% of all surface emitted photons back into the device. Used in this way, such broad reflec...

Proteins are considered the workhorses in the cellular machinery. They are often organized in a highly ordered conformation in the crowded cellular environment. These conformations display characteristic dynamics over a range of time scales. An emerging consensus is that protein function is critically dependent on its dynamics. The subtle interplay between structure and dynamics is a hallmark o...

No. dima4496 Beamline(s): X22B Like many other biomineralized materials, nacre (mother-of-pearl) has a complicated, hierarchical microstructure with organization on length scales ranging from Ångstroms to microns. For example, the nacre of Red Abalone (Haliotis rufescens) is composed of bricks of aragonite (CaCO3) “mortared” in an organic composite. The crystallography of the mineral component ...

‎let $g$ be a graph and $chi^{prime}_{aa}(g)$ denotes the minimum number of colors required for an‎ ‎acyclic edge coloring of $g$ in which no two adjacent vertices are incident to edges colored with the same set of colors‎. ‎we prove a general bound for $chi^{prime}_{aa}(gsquare h)$ for any two graphs $g$ and $h$‎. ‎we also determine‎ ‎exact value of this parameter for the cartesian product of ...

Hydrocarbon leakage into the environment has large economic and environmental impact. Traditional methods for investigating seepages and their resulting pollution, such as drilling, are destructive, time consuming and expensive. Remote sensing is an efficient tool that offers a non-destructive investigation method. Optical remote sensing has been extensively tested for exploration of onshore hy...

Remote sensing-based woody biomass quantification in sparsely-vegetated areas is often limited when using only common broadband vegetation indices as input data for correlation with ground-based measured biomass information. Red edge indices and texture attributes are often suggested as a means to overcome this issue. However, clear recommendations on the suitability of specific proxies to prov...

With the improvement of remote sensing technology, the spatial, structural and texture information of land covers are present clearly in high resolution imagery, which enhances the ability of crop mapping. Since the satellite RapidEye was launched in 2009, high resolution multispectral imagery together with wide red edge band has been utilized in vegetation monitoring. Broad red edge band relat...

We examined demographic responses of California red-backed voles (Clethrionomys californicus) to forest fragmentation in southwestern Oregon at sites where this species has previously shown negative responses to fragmentation. Voles were captured in live traps and released. Voles were rarely caught in clearcuts surrounding 11 forest fragments, but relative vole density did not decrease from the...

An Edge Based Architecture for Managing Uncooperative Flows in the Internet Kartikeya Chandrayana, Cisco Systems, San Jose, CA, [email protected] Shivkumar Kalyanaraman, R.P.I., Troy, NY, [email protected] Abstract— Traditionally uncooperative rate control schemes have implied open loop protocols such as UDP, CBR. In this paper we show that closed loop uncooperative rate control schemes al...
