Wayfair: Establishing an Economic Nexus Standard for the 21st Century
(2020-04-20)In this article, Hebert discusses state and local tax jurisprudence before South Dakota v. Wayfair, the effects of Wayfair on economic actors and states, and recommendations regarding post-Wayfair state legislation. -
Open Scholarship on a Shoestring
(2018-06)Grant funding has been central to SUNY Polytechnic’s leadership in the open access (OA) campaign on campus. Partnering with SUNY, regional, and campus associations, our library has won thousands of dollars to support ... -
Using Small Grants to Make the Library a Driver of College & Career Access and Affordability
(2018-06)Since our limited collection budget could not support the purchase of textbooks on an annual basis, we applied for a small grant from our institute’s Auxiliary Services Corporation, and were awarded $5000 for this purpose ... -
Broadband 2-μm emission on silicon chips: Monolithically integrated Holmium lasers
(Optical Society of America, 2018)Laser sources in the mid-infrared are of great interest due to their wide applications in detection, sensing, communication and medicine. Silicon photonics is a promising technology which enables these laser devices to be ... -
Octave-spanning coherent supercontinuum generation in silicon on insulator from 1.06μm to beyond 2.4μm
(Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics and Physics, 2018)Efficient complementary metal-oxide semiconductor-based nonlinear optical devices in the near-infrared are in strong demand. Due to two-photon absorption in silicon, however, much nonlinear research is shifting towards ... -
Design and simulation of sensor networks for tracking Wifi users in outdoor urban environments
(Disruptive Technologies in Sensors and Sensor Systems, Proceedings of SPIE, 2017)We present a proof-of-concept investigation into the use of sensor networks for tracking of WiFi users in outdoor urban environments. Sensors are fixed, and are capable of measuring signal power from users’ WiFi devices. ... -
Electromagnetic trace anomaly in a generalized linear sigma model
(American Physical Society, 2017)We build the electromagnetic trace anomaly effective term for a generalized linear sigma model with two chiral nonets, one with a quark-antiquark structure and the other one with a four-quark content. In the leading order ... -
Nanoscale engineering of photoelectron processes in quantum well and dot structures for sensing and energy conversion
(IOP Publishing, 2017)Advanced selective doping provides effective tool for nanoscale engineering of potential barriers and photoelectron processes in quantum well (QW) and quantum dot (QD) optoelectronic nanomaterials for IR sensing and wide ... -
Double emulsion electrospun nanofibers as a growth factor delivery vehicle for salivary gland regeneration
(SPIE Nanoscience + Engineering, 2017-08-29)Sustained delivery of growth factors, proteins, drugs and other biologically active molecules is necessary for tissue engineering applications. Electrospun fibers are attractive tissue engineering scaffolds as they partially ... -
Transiently stimulated second-harmonic generation from silicon nanogratings
(American Physical Society, 2017-11-29)We observe that second-harmonic (SH) light generated by a femtosecond probe pulse from Si nanograting surfaces can be enhanced by a correlating pump pulse. Time-resolved anisotropy analysis shows that the enhancement arises ... -
tRNA modification detection using graphene nanopores: A simulation study
(MDPI AG, 2017-08-25)There are over 100 enzyme-catalyzed modifications on transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules. The levels and identity of wobble uridine (U) modifications are affected by environmental conditions and diseased states, making wobble U ... -
A novel impedance biosensor for measurement of trans-epithelial resistance in cells cultured on nanofiber scaffolds
(MDPI AG, based in Basel, Switzerland, 2017)Nanofibrous scaffolds provide high surface area for cell attachment, and resemble the structure of the collagen fibers which naturally occur in the basement membrane and extracellular matrix. A label free and non-destructive ... -
Pulse width and height modulation for multi-level resistance in bi-layer TaOx based RRAM
(AIP Publishing, 2017-08-11)Mutli-level switching in resistive memory devices enables a wide range of computational paradigms, including neuromorphic and cognitive computing. To this end, we have developed a bilayer tantalum oxide based resistive ... -
Why contagious yawning does not (yet) equate to empathy
(Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews, 2017-09)Various studies and researchers have proposed a link between contagious yawning and empathy, yet the conceptual basis for the proposed connection is not clear and deserves critical evaluation. Therefore, we systematically ... -
Electronic structure, excitation properties, and chemical transformations of extreme ultra-violet resist materials
(American Institute of Physics, 2017-07-12)The electronic structure of extreme ultra violet resist materials and of their individual components, two polymers and two photoacid generators (PAGs), is studied using a combination of x-ray and UV photoemission spectroscopies, ... -
Investigating efficient methods for computing four-quark correlation functions
(Computer Physics Communications, 2017-07-11)We discuss and compare the efficiency of various methods, combinations of point-to-all propagators, stochastic timeslice-to-all propagators, the one-end trick and sequential propagators, to compute two-point correlation ... -
Large-scale ex vivo generation of human neutrophils from cord blood CD34+ cells
(PLoS ONE, 2017-07-11)Conventional high-dose chemotherapy frequently leads to severe neutropenia, during which patients experience a high risk of infection. Although support care with donor’s neutrophils is possible this choice is largely ... -
Variation in Attitudes toward Being a Mother by Race/Ethnicity and Education among Women in the United States
(Sociological Perspectives, 2017)Do differences in experiences of motherhood (e.g., number of children, age at first child, and relationship type) by race/ethnicity and social class mean that attitudes toward motherhood also vary by social location? We ... -
