Experimental determination of storage ring optics using orbit response measurements

TL;DR: In this article, a computer code called LOCO (Linear Optics from Closed Orbits) was developed to analyze the NSLS X-ray ring measured response matrix to determine: the gradients in all 56 quadrupole magnets; the calibration of the steering magnets and BPMs; the roll of the quadrupoles, steering magnets, and beam position monitors about the electron beam direction; the longitudinal magnetic centers of the orbit steering magnets; and the horizontal dispersion at the orbit steerable magnet; and transverse mis-alignment of the electron orbit in each

New insights into the fragility dilemma in liquids

TL;DR: A compilation of data for small molecule organic, polymeric, and inorganic glass-forming liquids showed that the original expectation, that there was a positive correlation between the thermodynamic measure of fragility Cpl/Cpg (or CPL/Cpc) and the dynamic fragility index m, is not generally true as discussed by the authors.

Replacement of potassium chloride by potassium glutamate dramatically enhances protein-DNA interactions in vitro

TL;DR: Measurement of the effects of the substitution of potassium glutamate (KGlu) for KCl on the kinetics and equilibria of a variety of site-specific protein-DNA interactions in vitro finds both the interaction of E. coli RNA polymerase with two phage lambda promoters and the interactions of various restriction enzymes with their DNA cleavage sites are enhanced by this substitution.

Regional and global volumes of glaciers derived from statistical upscaling of glacier inventory data

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a statistical method for deriving regional and global ice volumes from regional glacier area distributions and volume area scaling using glacier area data from ∼123,000 glaciers from a recently extended World Glacier Inventory.
