Key Comparisons are international inter-laboratory studies used to establish the degree of equivalence between national measurement standards. These studies...
Our results extending Kuhn's fault class hierarchy provide a justification for the focus of fault-based testing strategies on detecting particular faults and...
A simulator for quantum information systems cannot be both general, that is, easily used for every possible system, and efficient. Therefore, some systems will...
Scanning capacitance microscopy (SCM) has been commonly used to image dopant gradients in silicon and other semiconductors. As a mobile, high-resolution (to 10...
Water and aqueous systems are widely used in metrology, which is a major focus of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Standards such as...
The temperature dependence of the strength of a thin copper electrodeposit has been measured from room temperature to 150 °C by microtensile testing. The...

This paper reports progress in the development of a practical probabilistic model for the estimation of expected annual damage induced by hurricane winds in...
We examine the performance of multimodal biometric authentication systems using state-of-the-art Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) fingerprint and face biometric...
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...

The absolute cryogenic radiometer (ACR), an electrical-substitution-based detector, is the most accurate method for measurement of radiant power in the extreme...
Surface effects significantly influence the functionality of semiconductor nanocrystals. A theoretical understanding of these surface effects requires models...
Selecting and implementing the appropriate strategies, technologies, and tools for an enterprise-wide knowledge management system can be a daunting task. Legacy...
