Polymer coatings are heterogeneous and often contain nanoscale degradation -susceptible regions. Therefore, mapping and identification of these regions would
The use of Extensible Markup Language (XML) and its associated APIs, for information modeling and information interchange applications is being actively
In recent years, numerous commercial and experimental Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) implementations have emerged. Central to several of these RBAC systems
This paper describes a unified model for role-based access control (RBAC). RBAC is a proven technology for large-scale authorization. However, lack of a

Semianalytical expressions are developed for creeping flame spread parallel to a fuel cylinder axis so that spread rates measured or predicted for flat surfaces
Historically the procedures for the quantitative X-ray analysis of particles in the electron probe have been similar to the methods used for bulk electron probe
The Contract Net protocol is a general-purpose protocol for distributed problem solving. Many modern agent infrastructures facilitate the generation of agents
In the manufacturing domain, few new distributed systems are built ground-up; most contain wrapped legacy components. While the legacy components themselves are
Efforts are underway at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to develop a web-based system for rapid tracking, identifying, and locating
This paper discusses modeling requirements to support self-integrating manufacturing systems. Business process re-engineering, as it is currently performed, is
This paper examines the performance of R-22 and its possible replacements in an air-cooled air conditioner. The study focuses on the effect ofelevated outdoor
The advent of the global warming crisis has brought about a viewpoint, in many governments, that the halogen family of refrigerants should be replaced, in part
Systems of manufacturing software are often constructed by integrating pre-existing software components. Accurate specification of the component interactions in
Continuous wave excitation cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CW-CRDS) is being evaluated for real time chemical sensing of volatile CVD byproducts (e.g. HF, H2O)
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) standard bullets and casings are intended as reference standards for crime laboratories to help verify
This is a review of the current status of microanalysis standards at NIST -what is presently available, what will soon be available, and what might be available
A Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS) study has been undertaken to examine surfaces and films modified in the environmental scanning electron microscope
High resolution monochomatic diffraction imaging is playing a central role in the optimization of novel high energy radiation detectors for superior energy
For synthetic polymer samples, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) time-of-Flight (TOF) mass spectrometry (MS) can yield qualitative information
The directional dependence of the intensity and polarization of light scattered by a series of steel surfaces was measured. The samples differ by polishing
Free carrier concentrations in compound semiconductors were determined using Raman spectroscopy. Spectra of selected films were recorded in situ in a chemical
