STRAIGHTFORWARD EMDRIVE SETUP WITH NASA-LIKE CAVITIES

Design of functional ferritin-like proteins with hydrophobic cavities.

Ferritin four-helix bundle subunits self-assemble to create a stable multimer with a large central hydrophilic cavity where metal ions bind. To explore the versatility of this reaction vessel, computational design was used to generate cavities with increasingly apolar surface areas inside a dodecameric ferritin-like protein, Dps. Cavity mutants, in which as many as 120 surface accessible hydrop...

Precise measurements of hot S-parameters of superconducting cavities: Experimental setup and error analysis

Superconducting accelerating cavities used in modern particle accelerators change their intrinsic properties when excited to very high field levels close 10 to the critical field where the superconductivity is affected. In this report we describe a test-bench and data analysis procedure to determine the so-called hot S-parameters from strongly driven cavities and use them to quantify the proper...

Adjustable Autonomy with NASA Procedures

NASA’s Exploration missions will require more effective use of human resources in space and on Earth. The use of automation to perform routine or hazardous tasks can free humans for other tasks. But increased use of automation must be done without compromising human safety or introducing unnecessary risk. At JSC we have developed technology for incrementally increasing the level of system auton...

Yada: Straightforward parallel programming

Now that multicore chips are common, providing an approach to parallel programming that is usable by regular programmers has become even more important. This cloud has one silver lining: providing useful speedup on a program is useful in and of itself, even if the resulting performance is lower than the best possible parallel performance on the same program. To help achieve this goal, Yada is a...
