To a significant degree processes of database development are based upon human activities, which are susceptible to various errors. Propagation of errors in the
The use of internal curing is seen to be a highly effective means of mitigating autogenous shrinkage in cement mortars (w/s = 0.35, 8 % silica fume). Two

Microcalorimetry and high-performance liquid chromatography (h.p.l.c.) have been used to conduct a thermodynamic investigation of reactions catalyzed by 3
A detector-based spectral irradiance scale has been realized at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Unlike the previousNIST spectral irradiance
Building economics, value engineering, and cost engineering are the three main fields that explicitly include an economic evaluation in building-related project

X-ray reflectivity has been used to determine the mass uptake of probe molecules in porous thin films supported on thick silicon wafers. The adsorption occurs
The electrical properties of cement-based composites with mono-size conductive (steel) or insulating (glass) spherical inclusions were investigated by combined
An efficient civil infrastructure system is essential to every country's productivity and quality of life. Basic research and development in smart structures

We report the results of an in situ, vibrationally resonant sum frequency generation (SFG) spectroscopy study of the assembly of perdeuterated dioctadecyl
We describe the apparatus, software, and measurement procedures for a pulsed inductive microwave magnetometer (PIMM). PIMM can measure the dynamical properties
Turned parts on turning centers are made up of features with profiles defined by arcs and lines. An error model for turned parts must take into account not only
We report on studies probing the effect of ultraviolet (UV) radiation and ultraviolet/ozone treatment (UVO), on the modification of poly(dimethyl siloxane)

The ultrafast dissociation of gas-phase Br 2 is probed via a 400 nm-pump soft-x-ray probe scheme at five different high-order harmonicwavelengths (13th, 15th
An ultra-cold Bose gas of two level atoms can be thought of as a spin-1/2 Bose gas. It supports spin wave collective modes due to the exchange mean field. Such

We measure a zero crossing in the scattering length of a mixture of the two lowest hyperfine states of 6Li. To locate the zero crossing, we monitor the decrease
A number of years have elapsed since the last comprehensive review of the chemical properties of carbonyl sulfide (COS), with specific attention to the tendency
Hydrogen-abstraction reactions of various radicals with 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (MB) to produce the 4-carboxyphenylthiyl radical have been studied by pulse
Loss of resolution due to image blurring is a major concern in electron microscopy. The point spread function describing that blur is generally unknown. Wer
We have measured the line centers and pressure-induced shift of 14 lines in the 3 Ņ rotational-vibrational band of carbon monoxide 12C 16O and 18 lines in the
