Amorphous metal alloys have properties and structures unlike those of theircrystalline counterparts. For example, a multiphase crystalline structure may exhibit
We apply a model checker to the problem of test generation using a new application of mutation analysis. We define syntactic operators, each of which produces a

Chirped ultrafast laser pulses in the mid-Infrared and visible are used to experimentally control population transfer in condensed-phase systems and molecules.
Future broadband communication networks are intended to accommodate dissimilar traffic classes with different negotiated qualities of service. A family of
Role Based Access Control (RBAC) refers to a class of security mechanisms that mediate access to resources through organizational identities called roles. A
This paper analyzes and compares role-based access control (RBAC) features supported in the most recent versions of three popular commercial database management
This work describes a methodology for designing and evaluating web sites and web applications. Our methodology is based on the premise that tools and techniques
Two defect types have been identified in the buried oxide of low dose SIMOX: conductive silicon paths through the buried oxide (pipes) and silicon precipitates
This paper describes the concept and design of an Authentication Proxy, a network service that bridges the security environments (specifically authentication)
The NIST WebBook is an Internet site that provides access to physical property data from the NIST Standard Reference Data Program. It was designed as a general

The Critical Viscosity of Xenon (CVX) experiment, which flew on board Space Shuttle flight STS-85 in August 1997, measured the viscosity of xenon near the
In microform metrology, complex 3-D surface features in the micrometer range must be quantified for their space and size including dimensions, curves, angles
Role Based Access Control (RBAC), an access control mechanism, reduces the cost of administering access control policies as well as making the process less
Buildings significantly alter the environment. According to Worldwatch Institute (1), building construction consumes 40 percent of the raw stone, gravel, and
The rapid growth of computer-based systems such as simulation models, databases, and artificial intelligence decision-support systems, coupled with developments
Over time, in order to improve functionality or efficiency, new features have been added to the basic framework of public key infrastructures (PKIs). While
