A phase-field model that includes stress field during non-isothermal solidification of a one-component system has been developed. The model has been applied to
With three complimentary diagnostic methods, we examined a series of 150 W metal-halide arc lamps containing a progression of additive chemistries: 1) pure Hg

The paper presents the uncertainty characterization of NIST s new hydrocarbon liquid calibrator (HLFC). This facility uses a passive piston prover technique
The refractive index of helium at atmospheric pressure can be calculated from first principles with a very low uncertainty, on the order of 10^-10. Furthermore
We present a rigorous analysis of systematic errors int he four-noise parameter determination of a two-port network using the cold-source technique. The method

The excitation equilibrium in a metal halide lamp was studied using a method based on optically thick lines without the assumption of local thermodynamic
Conventional calibration of heat-flux sensors uses high-temperature blackbody radiation, and places the sensors away from the blackbody aperture. This approach
The NIST service for measuring the impulse spectrum amplitude of the output of impulse generators is described. The calibration procedures used in this
This paper examines whether the Cranfield evaluation methodology is robust to gross violations of the completeness assumption (i.e., the assumption that all

We report on the development of thin-film multijunction thermal converters for the measurement of ac current. The materials and designs chosen for these devices
We have demonstrated the operation of, and are assessing theoretically and experimentally the error rates of, silicon-based single-electron turnstiles, pumps
Naural ventilation systems have long been employed in European residences to control indoor air quality and provide thermal comfort. European building designers
