Effects of Proton-Induced Radiation Damage on CLYC and CLLBC Performance [PDF]
Cerium-doped Cs$_2$LiYCl$_6$ (CLYC) and Cs$_2$LiLaBr$_x$Cl$_{6-x}$ (CLLBC) are scintillators in the elpasolite family that are attractive options for resource-constrained applications due to their ability to detect both gamma rays and neutrons within a single volume.

A direct construction of the Standard Brownian Motion [PDF]
In this note, we combine the two approaches of Billingsley (1998) and Cs\H{o}rg\H{o} and R\'ev\'esz (1980), to provide a detailed sequential and descriptive for creating s standard Brownian motion, from a Brownian motion whose time space is the class of non-negative dyadic numbers.

Measurements of Fission Products from the Fukushima Daiichi Incident in San Francisco Bay Area Air Filters, Automobile Filters, Rainwater, and Food [PDF]
A variety of environmental media were analyzed for fallout radionuclides resulting from the Fukushima nuclear accident by the Low Background Facility (LBF) at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) in Berkeley, CA. Monitoring activities in air and rainwater began soon after the onset of the March 11, 2011 tsunami and are reported here through

Sound speed and oscillation frequencies for solar models evolved with Los Alamos ATOMIC opacities [PDF]
Los Alamos National Laboratory has calculated a new generation of radiative opacities (OPLIB data using the ATOMIC code) for elements with atomic number Z=1-30 with improved physics input, updated atomic data, and finer temperature grid to replace the Los Alamos LEDCOP opacities released in the year 2000.

3 mm spectral line survey of two lines of sight toward two typical cloud complexes in the Galactic Center [PDF]
We present the results of two Mopra 3-mm spectral line surveys of the Lines of Sight (LOS) toward the Galactic Center (GC) molecular complexes Sgr B2 (LOS+0.693) and Sgr A (LOS-0.11). The spectra covered the frequency ranges of ~77-93 GHz and ~105-113 GHz. We have detected 38 molecular species and 25 isotopologues.

Cluster deprojection with joint lensing, X-ray, and Sunyaev-Zeldovich data [PDF]
We propose a new cluster deprojection algorithm for recovering cluster structure along the line of sight (los) based on the Richardson-Lucy (RL) algorithm, which recovers a nonnegative theoretical distribution from a given projection. To optimize our reconstruction we combine X-ray and Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) data with gravitational lensing maps.

Application of Support Vector Regression to Interpolation of Sparse Shock Physics Data Sets [PDF]
Shock physics experiments are often complicated and expensive. As a result, researchers are unable to conduct as many experiments as they would like - leading to sparse data sets. In this paper, Support Vector Machines for regression are applied to velocimetry data sets for shock damaged and melted tin metal.

The luminosity function of galactic ultra-compact HII regions and the IMF for massive stars [PDF]
The population of newly formed massive stars, while still embedded in their parent molecular clouds, is studied on the galactic disk scale. We analyse the luminosity function of IRAS point-like sources, with far-infrared (FIR) colours of ultra-compact HII regions, that have been detected in the CS(2-1) line - a tracer of high density molecular gas.

Automatic Detection of Research Values from Scientific Abstracts Across Computer Science Subfields [PDF]
The field of Computer science (CS) has rapidly evolved over the past few decades, providing computational tools and methodologies to various fields and forming new interdisciplinary communities. This growth in CS has significantly impacted institutional practices and relevant research communities.

A HBAR-oscillator-based 4.596~GHz frequency source: Application to a coherent population trapping Cs vapor cell atomic clock [PDF]
This article reports on the design and characterization of a high-overtone bulk acoustic wave resonator (HBAR)-oscillator-based 4.596~GHz frequency source. A 2.298~GHz signal, generated by an oscillator constructed around a thermally-controlled two-port AlN-sapphire HBAR resonator with a Q-factor of 24000 at 68$^{\circ}$C, is frequency multiplied by 2 ...
