We treat the effect of shear flows on the morphological stability of a crystal growing from solution by a step mechanism at a given constant velocity. We carry...
A large class of distributed testing, control and collaborative applications are reactive or event driven in nature. Such applications can be structured as a...
Prior work has shown that thin filament pyrometry (TFP) is a powerful approach for making highly precise, spatially and temporally resolved line measurements of...
An apparatus was developed for testing the extinction efficiency of a solid powder in a coflowing non-premixed flame. Extinction measurements were performed by...
The Minerals Management Service (MMS), in cooperation with several oil and gas companies, installed a seismometer network on the ocean floor in the Santa...
Fiber-reinforced polymer composites are increasingly used in offshore and civil engineering structures. In these applications, composite materials are often...
This paper presents the theoretical basis for spherical, near-field scanning in the general case where radiating sources exist both inside and outside the...

Composition of the 1997 Hub-4 broadcast news test set is discussed. The composition is based on concurrent selection of a statistically equivalent test set for...
The electrochemical behavior of niobium in a 52:48 mole ratio A1C1 3:NaC1 molten salt electrolyte was examined by liner sweep voltammetry, chronoamperometry and...

Using a dynamic finite element model, we studied the interrelationships between acoustic source rise-time and plate thickness in steel plates. The source was...
The first International Conference on Atomic and Molecular Data And Their Applications (ICAMDATA) took place at the National Institute of Standards and...

In all types of communication, the ability to share information is often hindered because the meaning of information can be drastically affected by the context...
As part of ongoing National Institute of Standards and Technology research on the development of a new generation of standard provisions for wind loads, we...
Various optical-fiber, bulkhead adapter feedthroughs were tested over a range from 1 GHz to 16 GHz to determine how much they degraded the shielding...
The purpose of this paper is to describe two free space measurement systems, developed at NIST for the evaluation of RF aborbers, and to demonstrate...
The configuration of antennas at an Open Area Test site (OATS) for calibrations results in constructive and destructive electric fields. Regardless of the...

Reduction in the total uncertainty of the NIST Watt Balance is limited by the present configuration of the experiment. Most of the major relative uncertainty...
Commonly used methods for measuring reflections from the surface of an electronic display are often subject to large errors and ignore critical aspects of...
Irreproducibility in some reflection measurement methods arises from the observance of the haze component of reflection (non-regular-specular, non-Lambertian)...

We use a separated-oscillatory-field condensate interferometer to measure the time-evolution of the relative phase in a two-component Bose-Einstein condensate...
Two methods for absorption line (peak) evaluation based on center of gravity (CG) calculations are described and compared using spectra of the NIST standard...
