Abstract: A method of forming polymer composites having transition metal oxide nanoparticles dispersed therein includes mixing a transition metal oxide precursor including at least one transition metal, a polymer as a binder, a solvent for the polymer, and water to form a first solution including polymer-transition metal complexes. The polymer-transition metal complexes are hydrolyzed to produce a plurality of transition metal oxide nanoparticles, wherein water is added in the mixing in a stoichiometric excess for the hydrolyzing. The solvent and residual of the water remaining after the hydrolyzing are removed. A polymer composite including a plurality of transition metal oxide nanoparticles dispersed in the polymer results after the removing, where some of the polymer is chemically conjugated to a surface of the transition metal oxide nanoparticles.

Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for generating intensity modulated proton therapy plans. The method includes receiving a representation of a subject that includes information related to target and non-target volumes of interest, and computing, using the representation and a proton beam configuration that describes a number of beamlets and their respective arrangement, a dose distribution for each one of a plurality of uncertainty scenarios. The method also includes computing a robustness index for respective locations in the target volumes of interest using the dose distributions, and optimizing an objective function to determine a set of intensity weights for each beamlet in the proton beam configuration, wherein the objective function is based at least in part on deviations of the robustness indices from a prescribed robustness index. The method further includes generating a treatment plan using the determined intensity weights.

Abstract: A divided pulse nonlinear optical source may be generated by combining nonlinear wave generation techniques with pulse division that can divide a parent pulse into N divided pulses, each divided pulse separate temporally. The N divided pulses can be passed into a nonlinear optical medium to generate an output. The output can include at least one output pulse for each divided pulse. The center wavelengths of each output pulse can be tuned so that each may have a center wavelength that is the same as, or differs from, each other output pulse. In some embodiments, the output pulses may be combined to generate the output. The output can be power scalable and wavelength tunable.

Abstract: A technique is disclosed for straining an amorphous alloy at ambient temperature to plastically and homogeneously deform the amorphous alloy, such that at least an exterior surface of the deformed amorphous alloy is substantially free of shear bands. An amorphous alloy may be strained at a rate of less than about 9×10?5 s?1 or by multiple passes of cold rolling. A pattern from a die may be imprinted into the amorphous alloy when strained, and the amorphous alloy may be used as a die to plastically strain other materials.

Abstract: A computing system receives as inputs data records stored in a database. The computing parses the data records into file pairs that each include a keyword file and record ID file and merge file pairs into a keyword file and record ID file, where the keyword file includes keywords in sorted order, and where the record ID file includes a list of record IDs for keywords in the keyword file. The computing system further creates an offset file which stores offset values for starting addresses of record ID lists in the record ID file, and generates an index of keywords by assigning unique identifiers to keywords in the keyword file. The computing system also provides a query interface that allows the database's data records to be searched using the generated index of keywords.
