1,4-Dioxane-degrading consortia can be enriched from uncontaminated soils: prevalence of Mycobacterium and soluble di-iron monooxygenase genes

He, Ya; Mathieu, Jacques; da Silva, Marcio L.B.; Li, Mengyan; Alvarez, Pedro J.J. (2017)

Two bacterial consortia were enriched from uncontaminated soil by virtue of their ability to grow on 1,4-dioxane (dioxane) as a sole carbon and energy source. Their specific dioxane degradation rates at 30°C, pH = 7 (i.e. 5.7 to 7.1 g-dioxane per g-protein per day) were comparable to those of two dioxane-metabolizing archetypes: Pseudonocardia ...

1-bit Phase Shifters for Large-Antenna Full-Duplex mmWave Communications

da Silva, José Mairton Barros Jr.; Sabharwal, Ashutosh; Fodor, Gábor; Fischione, Carlo (2020)

Millimeter-wave using large-antenna arrays is a key technological component for the future cellular systems, where it is expected that hybrid beamforming along with quantized phase shifters will be used due to their implementation and cost efficiency. In this paper, we investigate the efficacy of full-duplex mmWave communication with hybrid beamforming ...

1D to 3D Crossover of a Spin-Imbalanced Fermi Gas

Revelle, Melissa C.; Fry, Jacob A.; Olsen, Ben A.; Hulet, Randall G.; Rice Center for Quantum Materials (2016)

We have characterized the one-dimensional (1D) to three-dimensional (3D) crossover of a two-component spin-imbalanced Fermi gas of 6Li atoms in a 2D optical lattice by varying the lattice tunneling and the interactions. The gas phase separates, and we detect the phase boundaries using in situ imaging of the inhomogeneous density profiles. The locations ...
