The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the National Cancer Institute (NCI) co-sponsored a workshop on August 18-19, 2005 to examine needs
This describes an extension to the Resource Description Framework/Schema (RDF/S) to specify relations between parts of the same whole (composite structure). For
Calculations have been performed to study ITS-90 non-uniqueness over the range 24.5561 K to 273.16 K, where the scale is defined by an interpolating platinum

The effect of energetic Xenon ion bombardment on the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) reflectivity performance of mirrors is of vital importance for the performance of
Both variational Monte Carlo (VMC) and fixed-node diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) are used to estimate the dissociation energy of Be2. The effect of using single-
