Measuring a fair and ambitious climate agreement using cumulative emissions
(IOP Publishing, 2015-10)Policy makers have called for a 'fair and ambitious' global climate agreement. Scientific constraints, such as the allowable carbon emissions to avoid exceeding a 2 °C global warming limit with 66% probability, can help ... -
MEASURING A TRUNCATED DISK IN AQUILA X-1
(IOP Publishing, 2016-03)We present NuSTAR and Swift observations of the neutron star Aquila X-1 during the peak of its 2014 July outburst. The spectrum is soft with strong evidence for a broad Fe Kα line. Modeled with a relativistically broadened ... -
Measuring active-to-sterile neutrino oscillations with neutral current coherent neutrino-nucleus scattering
(American Physical Society, 2012-07)Light sterile neutrinos have been introduced as an explanation for a number of oscillation signals at Δm[superscript 2]∼1 eV[superscript 2]. Neutrino oscillations at relatively short baselines provide a probe of these ... -
Measuring and Analyzing DoS Flooding Experiments

Measuring and Reporting Electrical Conductivity in Metal–Organic Frameworks: Cd
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2016-11)Electrically conductive metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are emerging as a subclass of porous materials that can have a transformative effect on electronic and renewable energy devices. Systematic advances in these materials ... -
Measuring binary black hole orbital-plane spin orientations

MEASURING BLACK HOLE SPIN VIA THE X-RAY CONTINUUM-FITTING METHOD: BEYOND THE THERMAL DOMINANT STATE
(Institute of Physics/American Astronomical Society, 2009-08)All prior work on measuring the spins of stellar-mass black holes (BHs) via the X-ray continuum-fitting (CF) method has relied on the use of weakly Comptonized spectra obtained in the thermal dominant (TD) state. Using a ... -
Measuring Cation Dependent DNA Polymerase Fidelity Landscapes by Deep Sequencing
(Public Library of Science, 2012-08)High-throughput recording of signals embedded within inaccessible micro-environments is a technological challenge. The ideal recording device would be a nanoscale machine capable of quantitatively transducing a wide range ... -
Measuring Charge Transport in a Thin Solid Film Using Charge Sensing
(American Chemical Society, 2010-03)We measure charge transport in a hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) thin film using a nanometer scale silicon MOSFET as a charge sensor. This charge detection technique makes possible the measurement of extremely large ... -
Measuring charge trap occupation and energy level in CdSe/ZnS quantum dots using a scanning tunneling microscope
(American Physical Society, 2010-03)We use a scanning tunneling microscope to probe single-electron charging phenomena in individual CdSe/ZnS (core/shell) quantum dots (QDs) at room temperature. The QDs are deposited on top of a bare Au thin film and form a ... -
Measuring charge trap occupation and energy level in CdSe/ZnS quantum dots using a scanning tunneling microscope
(American Physical Society, 2010-03)We use a scanning tunneling microscope to probe single-electron charging phenomena in individual CdSe/ZnS (core/shell) quantum dots (QDs) at room temperature. The QDs are deposited on top of a bare Au thin film and form a ... -
Measuring chromosome conformation with degenerate labels
(American Physical Society, 2012-07)Although DNA conformation plays an integral role in all genetic processes from transcription to chromosome segregation, there is as yet no tractable method for capturing the in vivo conformation of a chromosome at high ... -
Measuring Constituent Policy Preferences in Congress, State Legislatures, and Cities
(Cambridge University Press, 2013-04)Little is known about the American public’s policy preferences at the level of Congressional districts, state legislative districts, and local municipalities. In this article, we overcome the limited sample sizes that have ... -
Measuring daily-life fear perception change: A computational study in the context of COVID-19
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2022)<jats:p>COVID-19, as a global health crisis, has triggered the fear emotion with unprecedented intensity. Besides the fear of getting infected, the outbreak of COVID-19 also created significant disruptions in people’s daily ... -
Measuring Deuterium Enrichment of Glucose Hydrogen Atoms by Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2011-03)We developed a simple and accurate method for determining deuterium enrichment of glucose hydrogen atoms by electron impact gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC/MS). First, we prepared 18 derivatives of glucose and ... -
Measuring Dynamic On Resistance in GaN Transistors at MHz Frequencies
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2018-09)Gallium nitride (GaN) transistors are desirable for use in power electronics because of their low resistance and capacitance as compared to silicon devices. However, when switched at high frequencies, GaN transistors ... -
Measuring Effects of Radiation on Precipitates in Aluminum 7075-T6 Using Differential Scanning Calorimetry
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2018-10)Radiation damage in structural materials for nuclear applications is not well-understood, especially when linking the atomic scale damage mechanisms to the macroscopic effects. On a microscopic level, particle radiation ... -
Measuring Engagement in Robot-Assisted Autism Therapy: A Cross-Cultural Study
(Frontiers Media SA, 2017-07)During occupational therapy for children with autism, it is often necessary to elicit and maintain engagement for the children to benefit from the session. Recently, social robots have been used for this; however, existing ... -
Measuring Equity-Promoting Behaviors in Digital Teaching Simulations: A Topic Modeling Approach
(SAGE Publications, 2021)<jats:p> Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) issues are urgent in education. We developed and evaluated a massive open online course ( N = 963) with embedded equity simulations that attempted to equip educators with ... -
Measuring Ethical Values with AI for Better Teamwork
