Scanning Height for ANSI C63.5 Calibrations

Author(s)
Kenneth H. Cavcey, Dennis G. Camell
The configuration of antennas at an Open Area Test site (OATS) for calibrations results in constructive and destructive electric fields. Regardless of the...

The Next Generation of the NIST Watt Balance

Author(s)
David B. Newell, Richard L. Steiner, Edwin R. Williams, Alain Picard
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...

Reflection Measurement Problems Arising from Haze

Author(s)
George R. Jones Jr., Edward F. Kelley
Irreproducibility in some reflection measurement methods arises from the observance of the haze component of reflection (non-regular-specular, non-Lambertian)...

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...
