ABSTRACT: Community resilience is the ability of a community to plan for, withstand, and recover from a natural hazard such as an earthquake or flood. Advancing...
A method of measuring the shunt resistance of diodes, specifically photodiodes, is examined and the procedure of how the method is implemented using LabVIEW is...
This paper chronicles the development and refinement of a multizone network airflow model to represent a two-story classroom-office building. The model is...
Calcium hydroxide is one of the main reaction products resulting from the hydration of Portland cement with water. It is also one of the more soluble phases...
This paper is a derivative of G2001-1392, Database-Assisted Wind Load Capacity Estimates for Low-Rise Steel Frames, by Jang, S., et al., intended for...

Positive ion bombardment plays an essential role in plasma processing, influencing etch rates, materials selectivity and etching profiles. Experimental...
Presently NIST uses a voltage calibration path to maintain the U.S. legal volt and provide for the dissemination of an internationally consistent, accurate...
The dielectric properties of acrylic resin composites filled with BaTiO 3 have been evaluated in the broad frequency range. These materials were used as models...
The broadband dielectric relaxation of a BaTiO3-polymer composite film was studied. The complex dielectric constant data from 10 -4 Hz to 10 10 Hz reveals the...
Poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers are used to create organic-inorganic hybrid colloids in aqueous solution. The formation of gold colloids upon reduction of a...
