51. Ground Truth for Evaluating 6 Degrees of Freedom Pose Estimation Systems
Topic: Materials Science
Published: 3/28/2012
Authors: Jeremy A Marvel, Joseph A Falco, Tsai Hong Hong
Abstract: Systems developed to estimate poses of objects in 6 degrees of freedom (6DOF) Cartesian space (X, Y, and Z coordinates plus roll, pitch, and yaw) are reliant on the vendors' own processes to determine performance and measurement accuracy. These pract ...

52. Flexible polyurethane foam with well characterized and reproducible smoldering
Topic: Materials Science
Published: 3/24/2012
Authors: Mauro Zammarano, Szabolcs S. Matko, Rick D Davis, Roland H. Kraemer
Abstract: Smoldering is a self-sustaining heterogeneous oxidation reaction that induces a slow, low temperature, flameless combustion.1 Flexible polyurethane foams (PUF) are particularly prone to smoldering due to their high air permeability and low density. I ...

53. 2011 Solutions in Perception Challenge Performance Metrics and Results
Topic: Materials Science
Published: 3/22/2012
Authors: Jeremy A Marvel, Tsai Hong Hong, Elena R Messina
Abstract: The 2011 Solutions in Perception Challenge (SPC) presented an international collection of teams with the opportunity to develop algorithms that could positively identify and accurately locate in space an arbitrary collection of artifacts. Researchers ...

54. An Overview of Robot-Sensor Calibration Methods for Evaluation of Perception Systems
Topic: Materials Science
Published: 3/22/2012
Authors: Mili Indra Shah, Roger Diack Eastman, Tsai Hong Hong
Abstract: In this paper, an overview of methods that solve the robot-sensor calibration problem of the forms AX = XB and AX = YB is given. Each form will be split into three solutions: separable closed-form solutions, simultaneous closed- form solutions, and i ...

55. Assessment of Factors Affecting Fire Performance of Mattresses: A Review
Series: Technical Note (NIST TN)
Report Number: 1740
Topic: Materials Science
Published: 3/20/2012
Authors: Shonali Nazare, Rick D Davis
Abstract: An in-depth analysis of U.S. residential fire statistics shows that although the total number of fires and deaths due to mattress fires has dropped as a result of several regulatory approaches, the number of deaths per 1000 mattress/bedding fires ...

56. In situ observation of the indentation-induced phase transformation of silicon thin films
Topic: Materials Science
Published: 3/5/2012
Authors: Yvonne Beatrice Gerbig, Chris A Michaels, Aaron M Forster, Robert Francis Cook
Abstract: Indentation-induced phase transformation processes were studied by in situ Raman microspectroscopy of the deformed contact region of silicon on sapphire samples during contact loading and unloading. During loading, the formation of Si-II and another ...

57. Freeform Fabricated Scaffolds with Roughened Struts that Enhance both Stem Cell Proliferation and Differentiation by Controlling Cell Shape
Topic: Materials Science
Published: 3/1/2012
Authors: Girish Kumar, Carl GEORGE Simon Jr, Michael S. (Michael Stephan) Waters, Tanya M. Farooque, Marian F Young
Abstract: We demonstrate that imparting freeform fabricated (FFF) scaffolds with surface roughness on their struts enhances osteogenic differentiation of primary human bone marrow stromal cells (hBMSCs) by controlling cell shape. Previous work showed that hBM ...

58. A Robust and High-Throughput Measurement Platform for Monomer Reactivity Ratios from Surface-Initiated Polymerization
Topic: Materials Science
Published: 2/23/2012
Authors: Kirt Anthony Page, Derek Patton, Emily Hoff, Michael J Fasolka, Kathryn L Beers
Abstract: This article describes a robust approach to measure monomer reactivity ratios from surface-initiated copolymerization, by measuring composition of statistical copolymer brush surfaces using x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Statistical copolymer br ...

59. In situ electrochemical small-angle neutron scattering (eSANS) for quantitative structure and redox properties of nanoparticles
Topic: Materials Science
Published: 2/16/2012
Authors: Vivek M Prabhu, Vytautas Reipa
Abstract: Rapid growth in nanomaterial applications highlight limitations of available physicochemical characterization methods. An in situ electrochemical small-angle neutron scattering (eSANS) meth-odology was devised that enables direct measurements of nano ...

60. Reaction Network Governing Diphosphine-Protected Gold Nanocluster Formation from Nascent Cationic Platforms
Topic: Materials Science
Published: 2/16/2012
Authors: John M. Pettibone, Jeffrey W Hudgens
Abstract: We identify the reaction network governing gold monolayer protected cluster (MPC) formation during the reduction of Au(PPh^d3^)Cl and L^u5^ (L^u5^ = 1,5-bis(diphenylphosphino)pentane) in solutions. UV-vis spectroscopy and electrospray ionization mass ...
