NIST is working directly with industry to improve repair and conversion operations of ships in dry dock. The technology discussed is applicable to shipbuilding
Ripple in the Differential Group Delay (DGD) spectrum due to multiple reflections is described theoretically and demonstrated experimentally. A technique of
¿¿¿The Biometric Consortium Conference examines rapid advances in biometric technologies and applications and explores new developments in the areas of
U.S. Federal Agencies use multiple approaches to both laboratory accreditation and conformity assessment programs, as they carry out their regulatory and
The world produces between 1 and 2 exabytes (10 18 bytes) of information each year--about 250 megabytes for every man, woman, and child on earth. [Lyman, Peter
Performance data for water closet (WC) extraction laboratory evaluation methods applied for acceptable pass/fail criteria with mixed media waste solids is
Speech is arguably man's oldest and most natural form of communication. Speech and language are also inextricably linked to human thought and intelligence
Significant differences happened in Rockwell B hardness (HRB) tests using the 1.588 mm diameter ball indenters made by steel and tungsten carbide (WC). In this
A series of Ruddlesden-Popper compounds with n = 2 and stoichiometry La(sub2-2x)Ca(sub1+2x)Mn(sub2)0(sub7) has been successfully synthesized by a citrate gel
We present the results of index of refraction and absorption coefficient measurements of high-quality optical grade sapphire over the 1850 cm -1 10000 cm -1
We demonstrate a measurement of lithographic overlay using light scattering ellipsometry. In the limit of small amplitude surfactopography, the polarization of
Threshold scattering resonances play a crucial role in cold collision physics and cold molecule formation from cold atoms. We describe several examples
