Dispersing hydrophilic nanofillers in highly hydrophobic polymer matrices is widely used to tune the mechanical properties of composite material systems. The ability to control the dispersion of fillers is closely related to the mechanical tunability of such composites. In this work, we investigate the physical–chemical underpinnings of how simple end-group...

Four new elaiophylin macrolides (1–4), together with five known elaiophylins (5–9), have been isolated from cultures of the Indonesian soil bacterium Streptomyces sp. ICBB 9297. The new compounds have macrocyclic skeletons distinct from those of the known dimeric elaiophylins in that one or both of the polyketide chains contain(s) an...

Programming style is important for program understanding in programming tasks such as maintenance. testing, and debugging. The goal of programming style is to improve the readability of the source program without adversely affecting its performance.
Critique is a FORTRAN source program style critic which analyzes the source program and outputs...
In this report, we describe an implementation of a prototype information resources management system for the synthesis and integration project of the forest response program using a 4GL application development system ACCELL. Our system is called Prototype Virtual Data Management System (PVDMS). ACCELL is a software package that combines a...
Caesar is an interactive graphic editor that is used to generate layouts for VLSI circuits. It runs on a VAX-11 /780 under the UNIX operating system with Berkeley extensions. Caesar has a unique and simple user interface. Phled is an enhanced version of Caesar that runs on a M68000-based engineering...
Many carbon nanotube (CNT) applications require precisely controlled chemical
functionalization that is minimally disruptive to electrical performance. A promising approach is
the generation of sp³ hybridized carbon atoms in the sp²-bonded lattice. We have investigated the
possibility of using a carboxylic acid functionalized diazonium reagent to introduce a defined
number...

The genetic underpinnings associated with the earliest stages of plant and animal domestication have remained elusive. Because a genome-wide response to selection can take many generations, the earliest detectable changes associated with domestication may first manifest as heritable changes to global patterns of gene expression. Here, to test this hypothesis,...
Background: We present a model for reporting accelerometer paradata (process-related data produced from survey administration) collected in the International Study of Childhood Obesity Lifestyle and the Environment (ISCOLE), a multi-national investigation of >7000 children (averaging 10.5 years of age) sampled from 12 different developed and developing countries and five continents....

NW Rota-1 is a submarine volcano in the Mariana volcanic arc located ~100 km north of Guam.
Underwater explosive eruptions driven by magmatic gases were first witnessed there in 2004 and continued
until at least 2010. During a March 2010 expedition, visual observations documented continuous but
variable eruptive activity at...
