X-Ray and XUV Imaging of Helium Nanodroplets
(2022)Topics in Applied Physics ~ Molecules in Superfluid Helium NanodropletsX-ray and extreme ultraviolet (XUV) coherent diffractive imaging (CDI) have the advantage of producing high resolution images with current spatial resolution of tens of nanometers and temporal resolution of tens of femtoseconds. Modern developments in the production of coherent, ultra-bright, and ultra-short X-ray and XUV pulses have even enabled lensless, single-shot imaging of individual, transient, non-periodic objects. The data collected ...Book Chapter -
Tree-Ring Stable Isotope Measurements: The Role of Quality Assurance and Quality Control to Ensure High Quality Data
(2022)Tree Physiology ~ Stable Isotopes in Tree Rings: Inferring Physiological, Climatic and Environmental ResponsesQuality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) are important components of every study. In this chapter, we give an overview of QA/QC specific for tree-ring stable-isotope analysis from the perspective of the entire research project, rather than from the operation of Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometers (IRMS). We address how users of stable isotope tree-ring data can quantify the quality of their data for reporting in publications by calculating ...Book Chapter -
Isotopes—Terminology, Definitions and Properties
(2022)Tree Physiology ~ Stable Isotopes in Tree Rings: Inferring Physiological, Climatic and Environmental ResponsesThe intention of this chapter is to give insight into the properties and peculiarities of the stable isotopes of the bioelements. Following an overview about the terminology and ʻtechnical jargonʼ used in stable isotope sciences, methods to calculate and express isotopic abundances are presented. Subsequently, a short description of the physicochemical basis of equilibrium and kinetic (mass-dependent) isotope effects (EIEs and KIEs) as ...Book Chapter -

China-Russia Cooperation in Nuclear Deterrence
(2022)Russia-China RelationsNuclear issues have historically played an important role in the development of relations between Moscow and Beijing, acting as a source of both potential discord and emergent cooperation. Cooperation by China and Russia to strengthen their respective nuclear deterrents is already an important factor in international security and could grow in importance over time. CSS' Brian Carlson's book chapter assesses actual China-Russia cooperation ...Book Chapter -

Limits and Strengths of Tree-Ring Stable Isotopes
(2022)Tree Physiology ~ Stable Isotopes in Tree Rings: Inferring Physiological, Climatic and Environmental ResponsesThis chapter aims at summarizing strengths and caveats on the suitability of stable carbon and oxygen isotopes in tree rings as recorders for fingerprints of environmental influences. First, environmental constraints limiting tree growth and shaping tree species distribution worldwide are discussed. Second, examples are presented for environmental conditions under which tree-ring isotopes record environmental signals particularly well, ...Book Chapter -
Skeleton-Based Clustering by Quasi-Threshold Editing
(2022)Lecture Notes in Computer Science ~ Algorithms for Big DataWe consider the problem of transforming a given graph into a quasi-threshold graph using a minimum number of edge additions and deletions. Building on the previously proposed heuristic Quasi-Threshold Mover (QTM), we present improvements both in terms of running time and quality. We propose a novel, linear-time algorithm that solves the inclusion-minimal variant of this problem, i.e., a set of edge edits such that no subset of them also ...Book Chapter
