Ionizing radiation has been found to be widely applicable in modifying the structure and properties of polymers, and can be used to tailor the performance of either bulk materials or surfaces. Fifty years of research in polymer radiation chemistry has led to numerous applications of commercial and...

We report the construction of a database of infrared spectra aimed at detecting the gases emitted by biomass burning. The project uses many of the methods of the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) infrared database, but the selection of the species and special experimental considerations...

Exhaled breath condensate proteomics represent a low-cost, non-invasive alternative for examining upper respiratory health. EBC has previously been used for the discovery and validation of detected exhaled volatiles and non-volatile biomarkers of disease related to upper respiratory system distress...
HDF5 file containing 10,000 hydraulic transmissivity inputs and the corresponding hydraulic pressure field outputs for a two-dimensional saturated flow model of the Hanford Site. The inputs are generated by sampling a 1,000-dimensional Kosambi-Karhunen-Loève (KKL) model of the transmissivity field...

The PNNL-SERDP database was constructed by PNNL to generate the quantitative infrared spectra of gases associated with biomass burning; the reference data are to allow detection and quantification of such gases via infrared absorption spectroscopy. Candidates for the database were selected based on...
