The development of dense wavelength division multiplexed systems at wavelengths between 1300 and 1600 nm has created a demand for wavelength references
As part of an effort to characterize the uncertainties associated with temperature measurements in fire environments, models of bare bead, single-shielded
A new method has been developed to calibrate tristimulus colorimeters for high accuracy color measurements. Instead of traditional lamp standards, modern, high
This was an extended abstract prepared for inclusion in the Microscopy & Microanalysis '99 Proceedings. It is a summary of Observation of Antiparallel Magnetic
Based on concerns about indoor air quality and trends towards tighter envelope construction, there has been increasing interest in mechanical ventilation of
There is increasing interest worldwide in the use of performance standards for removing barriers to the acceptance of housing innovation.The use of performance
The degree of self-desiccation in field concrete depends on the availability of external water to replace that consumed due to the chemical shrinkage that

Scanning electron microscopy and X-ray imaging techniques have been developed for imaging the complex microstructure of cement-based materials such as cement
A critical step in selecting the most appropriate repair strategy for a distressed concrete structure is to determine the corrosion status of reinforcing bars

X-ray optical processes in solids--absorption, fluorescence and resonantscattering--are modeled within a band-structure-basedapproach to describe electron
We report measurements of heat transfer coefficients of flowing supercritical carbon dioxide (7.38 MPa critical pressure, 31.1 degrees C critical temperature)

Recent advances have been made on two fronts regarding the capability of the atomic force microscope (AFM) to characterize the mechanical response of polymers
We will describe a new causal power-normalized waveguide equivalent-circuit theory and explore its implications. The new theory marries a power normalization

In this paper, precise measurements of fiber break regions formed during the single fiber fragmentation testing procedure have been made for E-glass/diglycidyl
Experimental data were collected for the purpose of validating multiphase combustion models and submodels. A spray combustor was fabricated that permits well
Active cavity radiometers (ACRs) have been used for years to measure solar radiation and Earth radiation from low Earth orbit. Extant space-flight ACRs were
