The far-term goal of this research is in development and design of accelerator able to provide & gt;1 GeV/m for electrons. This goal will be reached by usage of Si micro-structure made with Lithographic technology common in micro-circuit fabrication. To avoid heat damage of micro-structure, the laser focus swept along the accelerator micro- structure by a special electro-optical devic ...

Sepax Technologies, Inc. has identified a new type of anoin-exchange resin which separates single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) with >80% recovery yield and resolves in a single pass the chiral tubes of (6,5) well from commercial SWCNT starting materials by Chromatography. Improvement and scale up of the targeted resin production will facilitate the separation of chiral nanotubes for the academic ...

Increased use of hydrogen as a fuel can provide benefits to our nations energy security, the environment and economic growth. Toward hydrogen economy, an innovation in hydrogen separation technology is needed in the production of hydrogen. Current separation technologies for industrial hydrogen production mainly include pressure swing adsorption process and the cryogenic separation process, which ...

Modern Synchrotrons are capable of significant per pulse x-ray flux, and time resolved pulse- probe experiments have become feasible. These experiments provide unique demands on x-ray monitors, as the beam position, flux and arrival time all potentially need to be recorded for each x-ray pulse. Further, monitoring of white x-ray beam position and flux upstream of beamline optics is desirable as a ...

In an increasingly hostile computing environment, Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDS) serve an indispensable role in preserving the integrity of computer networks. This comes to manifest as the DOE is working at a national level to secure a number of strategic network entry points using Bro [DOE06, DOE09], a powerful NIDS developed by the networking group at the International Computer S ...

The core objective will be to demonstrate the feasibility of creating an affordable, long-lasting clean cook stove solution that delivers at least 90% emissions reduction and 50% lower fuel usage than traditional biomass stoves. Over the period 2009-2011, BioLite developed an innovative, low cost technology that uses a thermoelectric generator in combination with a fan and a unique combustion syst ...

Observations unequivocally show that the global climate is changing and the results are dramatic. With the accelerating pace of climate change, the impact of these changes will resonate through a broad range of fields including public health, infrastructure, water resources, and many others. These stakeholders need access to and resources for using climate data that are designed with the non-resea ...

It is becoming abundantly clear that the scientific world is being saturated by its own data, with raw data collection increasingly outpacing researchers ability to extract meaningful knowledge from it. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the proliferation of omics fields, which are generating staggering amounts of data. This proposal offers three distinct improvements for the Kbase community by ...

At present there exists a very significant science and technology gap for the production of photocathodes that have both high quantum efficiency (QE) and long lifetime. The National Academies has identified this as an area of critical importance to the development of high-power free-electron lasers (FEL). If the high-current electron injectors required are based on low-QE cathodes, then the requ ...

Synchrotron-based science has had a great scientific impact and will continue to have great impact going forward. In spite of the large investment in the 3rd generation light sources, most beam lines do not preserve the sources phase profile or brightness all the way to the sample. For these high brightness light sources, errors are almost completely due to distortion in the front-end optics cau ...
