This paper assesses plans and progress of high technology small firms (HTSF) funded by the Advanced Technology Program (ATP), a U.S. civilian science and
The NIST Advanced Technology Program is a unique partnership between government and private industry to accelerate the development of high-risk technologies
In many experimental settings, different types of factors affect the measured response. The factors that can be set independently of each other are called
This article describes two software tools, AutoMap and AutoLink, that facilitate the use of data structures in MPI. AutoMap is a program that parses a file of
Micelles formed of amphiphilic diblock copolymers may have applications in drug delivery and in understanding the physics of biological structures. Wormlike
Prediction of spurious grain formation in superalloy castings is critical for the design and development of single-crystal gas-turbine components. Here, we
The physical aging response of polymers is generally examined in isothermal conditions by following the viscoelastic behavior as a function of aging time. It is
