In one of the two new developments, Rice researchers are reporting in Nano Letters, a journal of the American Chemical Society, that they have succeeded in building reliable small digital switches — an essential part of computer memory — that could shrink to a significantly smaller scale than is possible using conventional methods.
While acknowledging that the Pentagon attack was significantly smaller in scale, the report found that the response there "was mainly a success" that could be credited to "strong professional relationships and trust established among emergency responders" in the Virginia suburbs of the capital.
This problem may be more severe for pollutants known to vary significantly over small scales, such as NOx and other direct traffic pollutants.
Landscape scale variability of soil 137Cs was significantly higher than small scale variability.
We observed that the production of holocytochrome c by human E159K HCCS was significantly reduced in small scale cultures, yielding less than 20% of the WT levels.
A second heavy rain event, characterized by significantly smaller spatial scales, was observed in the southern area of the GPS network.
Amyloid fibers are made from protein sources' and share many of the same material properties as spider silk, but exist at significantly smaller length scales with diameters of 5 10 nm.
Over the next two decades, the pending bills would actually reduce deficits by a small amount and reforms in how medical care is delivered and paid for — begun now on a small scale — could significantly reduce future deficits.
Water quality was not significantly affected and risks from small scale, short duration CO2 contamination appear minimal for this geological setting.
And any accident, even on a small scale, will significantly rein in the ability of AI to be used.
Even with pH control, mixing and higher initial substrate concentration, the fermentation performance was not significantly improved compared to the small scale fermentations (data not shown).
