A transient hot-wire apparatus was used to measure the thermal conductivity of argon with both steady-state and transient methods. The effects of wire diameter...
An overview of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) high temperature blackbodies, both in operation and in development, suitable for heat...
The Binary-Encounter-Bethe (BEB) model for electron-impact total ionization cross sections of neutral molecules has been modified for molecular ions. The total...

In this poster, we present the optical response of thin film compound semiconductors measured using in situ spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE), at growth...
This paper presents a closed-form expression for multiple forward diffraction by rows of tree canopies and buildings, applicable to the propagation predictions...
This opening review attempts to follow the main trends in crystal diffraction spectrometry of nuclear γ-rays from its 1914 beginning in Rutherford's laboratory...

In 1997, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) initiated a process to select a symmetric-key encryption algorithm to be used to protect...
The diffraction limit for lensless imaging, defined as the smallest obtainable point image, is analyzed and compared to the corresponding limit for imaging with...
This paper presents the results of heat flux sensor calibrations in two blackbody facilities: the 25 mm variable temperature blackbody (VTBB) primary facility...
In 1959, the Director of the National Bureau of Standards declared The emergence of science and technology as the paramount concern of the Nation in the 20th...
We develop an initial dynamic power-conscious routing scheme (MPR) that incorporates physical layer and link layer statistics to conserve power, while...
We use equivalent electrical circuits to analyze the effects of large parasitic impedances existing in all sample probes on four-terminal-pair measurements of...
The rheological or flow properties of concrete in general and of high performance concrete (HPC) in particular, are important because many factors such as ease...
A new conceptual data model that addresses the geometric dimensioning and tolerancing concepts of datum systems, datums, datum features, datum targets, and the...
On March 22-23, 1999, nearly two hundred members of the global cryptographic research community gathered in Rome, Italy, for the Second Advanced Encryption...

Both liquidus and subsolidus phase equilibrium data are of central importance for applications of high temperature superconductors in the (Bi,Pb)-Sr-Ca-Cu-O...
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) interferometer for measuring graduated length scales has been in use since 1965. It was developed in...
We analyze the effects of the large capacitances-to-shields existing in all sample probes on measurements of the ac quantized Hall resistance R H. The object of...
This work presents a complete equivalent-circuit theory for lossy multimode transmission lines. Its voltages and currents are based on general linear...
