The EPA BASE study involved indoor environmental measurements in 100 U.S. office buildings. This paper presents an analysis of the measured outdoor air...
The amount of outdoor air provided to occupied spaces is one of the most important determinants of indoor air quality, but many critical questions and...
The 2004 NIST interoperability cost study estimated an annual cost burden of $15.8 billion due to inadequate interoperability in the capital facilities segment...
The NIST Construction Metrology and Automation Group (CMAG) has ongoing research in the application of laser imaging technologies in construction. Previous work...
One technique traditionally used to measure the directivity index of hearing aids involves acquiring data with sound source locations (at multiple azimuth...
A new type of Josephson junction array using current biased voltage steps can provide highly stable and accurate voltages. The superior voltage stability of...

We describe the use of electrical methods for evaluating mechanical reliability and properties of patterned copper and aluminum interconnects on silicon...
We have implemented a quantum key distribution (QKD) system with polarization encoding at 850 nm over 1 km of optical fiber. The high-speed management of the...
Given the relatively limited coverage area of 802.11 access points, stations moving inside WLAN are often required to perform a handover. The time needed for a...

To cope with today?s fluctuating markets, a virtual enterprise (VE) concept can be employed to achieve the cooperation among independently operating enterprises...
The simulation-based training systems that are available or under development today for incident management are typically focused on macro level sequence of...
A tool kit being developed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)encodes XML schema Naming and Design Rules in a computer-interpretable...
Cavity resonators are often used in low phase noise oscillators that utilize carrier suppression. These oscillators are employed in systems that measure phase...
