The U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) has been investigating silicon super gate turn-off thyristors (SGTOs) for high action pulse switching necessary for Army survivability and lethality applications. The silicon SGTO designed by Silicon Power Corporation (SPCO) was evaluated to determine its repeatable pulse current capability at a 1 ms pulse width. The initial SGTO design was a 3.5 cm2 chip rated for 4 kV forward blocking and 10 kA peak current at 10 s pulse width or 100 A continuous. The...

The Army Research Laboratory (ARL) was activated at the beginning of fiscal year 1993. Since then, ARL has operated in an environment of continuing stress, caused by a variety of factors. Like many other "corporate" research laboratories, it has been subject to economic constraints and pressures, leading to downsizing, consolidation, infrastructure reduction, and outsourcing. As a military laboratory, it has also been significantly affected by the end of the Cold War. To cope with...

The Impact Physics Branch of the U.S. Army Research Laboratory operates a high pressure gas gun for shock physics research. One of the key types of experiments that are routinely performed with this facility is an oblique-impact experiment where the impacting face of the projectile and the target material are both oriented at an angle to the gun axis. This is done to obtain simultaneous pressure and shear during the experiment. To achieve this capability. a groove has been cut along the bottom...

Time-critical wireless applications in emerging network systems, such as e-healthcare and smart grids, have been drawing increasing attention in both industry and academia. The broadcast nature of wireless channels unavoidably exposes such applications to jamming attacks. However, existing methods to characterize and detect jamming attacks cannot be applied directly to time-critical networks, whose communication traffic model differs from conventional models. In this paper, we aim at modeling...

The en masse cyclization of polyolefins into polycyclic terpenoids by cyclase enzymes (e.g. squalene to hopene), is a biosynthetic reaction of particular fascination to chemists. Noteworthy recent additions to synthetic mimics of the cyclase enzymes are asymmetric methods that include Br nsted Lewis acids (BLA), masked equivalents of Br+ and I+, organocatalysts, and electrophilic metal catalysts. With the exception of HgII reagents, few electrophilic metal catalysts cyclize polyenes with...

There are a substantial number of empirical relations that began with the identification of a pattern in data; were shown to have a terse power-law description; were interpreted using existing theory; reached the level of law and given a name; only to be subsequently fade away when it proved impossible to connect the law with a larger body of theory and/or data. Various forms of allometry relations (ARs) have followed this path. In general if X is a measure of the size of a complex host network...

The dynamics of magnetic hysteresis, including the training effect and the field sweep rate dependence of the exchange bias, is experimentally investigated in exchange-coupled potassium split graphene nanoribbons (GNRs). We find that, at low field sweep rate, the pronounced absolute training effect is present over a large number of cycles. This is reflected in a gradual decrease of the exchange bias with the sequential field cycling. However, at high field sweep rate above 0.5 T/min, the...

Backoff misbehavior, in which a wireless node deliberately manipulates its backoff time, can induce significant network problems, such as severe unfairness and denial-of-service. Although great progress has been made towards the design of countermeasures to backoff misbehavior, little attention has been focused on quantifying the gain of backoff misbehaviors. In this paper to assess the gain that misbehaving nodes can obtain, we define and study two general classes of backoff misbehavior:...

The allometry relationship (AR) between two properties of a living network X and Y is X = aY b where one or both of the variables is a measure of size and the allometry coefficient a and exponent b are fit to data. Many investigators have focused on determining the proper value of b entailed by an appropriate biological model, whereas others have argued that the allometry coefficient plays the more important role. Herein we use metabolic data to determine a probability density function (pdf)...
