Simulation of HVDC Converter Valve Control and Protection Algorithms

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Jeffrey Johnson
Project type
Exploratory Research
The proposed effort would utilize a dual-processor Windows computer to run software used to simulate high-speed power system control and protection algorithms. We want to test a proprietary system…

SEM analysis of SOFC chromite interconnects

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Steven Simner
Project type
Exploratory Research
I have approximately 10 sample for SEM/EDX analysis. Some samples have polished surfaces and some are fracture surfaces. The materials are 2 phase (~90 vol% LaCrO3 and ~10 vol% Sr3(VO4)2.

Comparative proteomic analysis of Desulfovibrio vulgaris

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Weiwen Zhang
Project type
Exploratory Research
We propose to perform a semi-quantitative proteomic analysis of Desulfovibrio vulgaris, a model organism for sulfate-reducing bacteria, cultured under various environmental conditions. The sulfate…

CHARACTERIZATION OF THE NEURITE PHOSPHOPROTEOME

Lead Institution
University of California, San Diego
Principal Investigator
Richard Klemke
Project type
Exploratory Research
A major goal of my laboratory is to understand the molecular signaling mechanisms that control growth cone and neurite formation. The ability of neuronal cells to extend and retract neurites is…

Systematical study of novel nano-magnetic materials

Lead Institution
Alfred University
Principal Investigator
Xingwu Wang
Project type
Exploratory Research
The objective of this research is to systematically study novel nano-magnetic materials. In particular, nano-sized FeAlN thin films newly formed will be provided by Alfred University to Pacific…

Proteome analysis of members of the family Anaplasmataceae

Lead Institution
The Ohio State University
Principal Investigator
Yasuko Rikihisa
Project type
Exploratory Research
Human monocytic ehrlichiosis (HME) and human granulocytic ehrlichiosis (HGE) caused by Ehrlichia chaffeensis and Anaplasma phagocytophilum, respectively are potentially fatal emerging zoonoses. A…

Fragmentation and Characteristic Study of Peptides Missed by SEQUEST

Lead Institution
The Ohio State University
Principal Investigator
Vicki Wysocki
Project type
Exploratory Research
Peptide sequencing/protein identification has become an important application of mass spectrometry to biological research [1]. Proteins go through 1D or 2Dgel separation and are digested in gel with…

Functionally Graded Brake Materials

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Elizabeth Stephens
Project type
Exploratory Research
Use of the surface profilometer to conduct profile measurements on brake materials of interest.

High Resoulution Infrared Spectroscopy of Methyl Phosphonic Difluoride

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
James Kelly
Project type
Exploratory Research
We will record the high resoulution infrared spectrum of methyl phosphonic difluoride in the mid-infrared region. The purpose of this project is to identify individual ro-vibrational transitions that…

Fabrication of Microconduits

Lead Institution
