Current overshoot during forming has been shown to be a serious issue. Recently the current overshoot duration has been shown to be an important factor
Based on three dimensional (3D) topography measurements on correlation cells, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has developed the "NIST
Constructing an efficient and accurate model from security events to determine an attack scenario for an enterprise network is challenging. In this paper, we
Two national metrology laboratories (NMI) have conducted an international interlaboratory comparison on thermal conductivity on two thermal insulation reference

The challenge of detecting small changes in the Earth's climate system over decadal and longer time scales places stringent requirements on environmental
We have developed a new, reflector lamp based 2 pi transfer standard for total spectral radiant flux (TSRF) scale in the spectral range from 360 nm to 1100 nm
CIE 191:2010 recommends a mesopic photometry system based on peripheral visual tasks. For implementation of the system, the visual adaptation field needs to be
Standards on white light chromaticity of fluorescent lamps are available for more than three decades, but the specifications in these standards have not been

Previous work has demonstrated that culture of osteoprogenitor cells on nanofiber scaffolds can potentiate osteogenic differentiation [1-4]. Culture of cells in
Mobile sensor networks (MSN) are an excellent example of Cyber-Physical Systems where motion capability of the network nodes offers an opportunity to co-design
Unlike conventional machining where there is a near 1:1 correspondence of machine performance to the geometry of the workpiece, the accuracy of the machine
In recent years additive manufacturing (AM) has received significant visibility, both in the popular media as well as in scientific journals, and niche
The uniqueness of AM makes it necessary to develop specific guidance on conducting round robin studies. The existing standards on round robin studies for
