Step Bunching: Influence of Impurities and Solution Flow

Author(s)
A A. Chernov, P G. Vekilov, Sam R. Coriell, B T. Murray, Geoffrey B. McFadden
Step bunching results in striations even at relatively early stages of its development and in inclusions of mother liquor at the later stages. Therefore

Moment-Preserving Modeling With Image Applications

Author(s)
Anastase Nakassis, Abdou S. Youssef
Linear least-square modeling is a powerful modeling approach. Optimal piece-wise constant modeling is an important special case. In this paper we will develop a

Mean Recurrence Intervals of Ultimate Wind Loads

Author(s)
Emil Simiu, A N. Heckert, T Whalen
The attention of wind engineers and extreme value climatologists has been focused in the last few decades on estimates of basic windspeeds, that is, wind speeds

Power and Energy Measurements at NIST

Author(s)
Thomas L. Nelson
The NIST calibration service that provides electric energy traceability for the U.S. utility industry is described. Electronic watthour meters, submitted for

Hydration for a Series of Hydrocarbons

Author(s)
Raymond D. Mountain, D Thirumalai
The hydrophobic hydration in a series of hydrocarbons is probed using molecular dynamics simulations. The solutes considered range from methane to octane

Microcalorimeter EDS Measurements of Chemical Shifts in Fe Compounds

Author(s)
David A. Wollman, Dale E. Newbury, Gene C. Hilton, Kent D. Irwin, L L. Dulcie, Norman F. Bergren, John M. Martinis
Chemical shifts result from changes in electron binding energies with the chemical environment of atoms. In x-ray spectra, chemical shifts lead to changes in x

New Approach for Thermoacoustic Refrigeration

Author(s)
J Xiao, Ray Radebaugh
We suggest a new design configuration for thermoacoustic refrigeration that optimises the refrigeration effect caused by both the standing wave and the

Fabrication of High-Value Standard Resistors

Author(s)
Ronald F. Dziuba, Dean G. Jarrett, L. L. Scott, Andrew J. Secula
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has fabricated stable, transportable 10 MΩ} and 1 GΩ} standard resistors for use in an international

Charge Offset and Noise in SET Transistors

Author(s)
Neil M. Zimmerman, J. L. Cobb
We report on several previous and ongoing investigations into the source of, and the amelioration of, the charge offset noise in SET (single-electron tunneling)

A System to Measure Current Transducer Performance

Author(s)
Bryan C. Waltrip, Thomas L. Nelson
A special purpose ac current transducer measurement system capable of intercomparing transducers with ac output voltage ratios from 1:1 to 50:1 has been

Polarimetric Calibration for Monostatic Radar Systems

Author(s)
Lorant A. Muth, Paul D. Domich, B. M. Welsh, A. L. Buterbaugh, B. M. Kent
Calibration standards for radar systems are being developed cooperatively at NIST and DoD measurement facilities. Our goals are to develop standard procedures
