This paper describes the structure of the PerfLoc Prize Competition organized by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The Competition
The costs of maintenance and the potential effect on maintenance costs from adopting predictive maintenance techniques is not well documented at the national
Applying MC/DC criterion to real-world projects can be expensive due to not only the cost of commercial tools, but also the difficulty of generating test cases

A novel interpolation-based model for the computation of the Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) is presented. The model enables GLCM computation for any
We demonstrate optical and electrical property enhancement of solar cells using a variety of dielectric nano-resonator array coatings. First, we study close

Photocurrent generation of methylammonium lead iodide (CH3NH3PbI3) hybrid perovskite solar cells is observed at the nanoscale using near-field scanning
The existence of tactile afferents sensitive to slip-related mechanical transients in the human hand augments the robustness of grasping through secondary force
Validation of quantitative X-ray powder diffraction measurements traditionally involved compounding test mixtures of known phase compositions. Validation is
The Internet of Things (IoT) promises to connect and manage an unprecedented number of heterogeneous devices that are not designed to interoperate as a system

Counter to conventional methods of measuring laser optical power, radiation pressure-based power meters operate by reflection rather than absorption. This
Recent research has demonstrated benefits of replication of requests with canceling, which initiates multiple concurrent replicas of a request and uses the
This paper reports on quantification and mitigation of the inefficiency of selfish investment in network recovery from Susceptible Infected Susceptible (SIS)
Blockchain based cryptocurrencies are usually unmanaged, distributed, consensus-based systems in which no single entity has control. Managed cryptocurrencies

Data sent over the Internet can be monitored and manipulated by intermediate entities in the data path from the source to the destination. For unencrypted
The surface of coatings and plastics is the first target in any degradation process initiated by ultraviolet (UV) radiation or mechanical stress (via scratch

Recently, a technique for calibration of the Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) of a broad variety of metrology instrumentation has been established. The
Additive manufacturing (AM) has enabled the production of complex geometries such as conformal lattices, topology optimized shapes, and organic structures
The publication of the latest edition of ISO 1101 in 2017 is a landmark event in the development of ISO tolerancing standards. It represents an important

The 2017 NIST language recognition evaluation (LRE) was held in the autumn of 2017. Similar to the past LRE's, the basic task in LRE17 was language detection
Economic and convenience benefits of interconnectivity drive current explosive emergence and growth of networked systems. However, as recent catastrophic
