It has been proposed previously that the formation factor, in conjunction with the self-diffusion coefficient, can be used to determine the apparent diffusion...
To understand the freeze-thaw properties of hardened concrete, the air void system must be characterized. Studies of the stereological and statistical...
The design of concrete with specified properties for an application is not a new science, but it has taken on a new meaning with the wide use of high...

We have developed two voltage standard systems: 1) the programmable Josephson voltage standard and 2) the Josephson arbitrary waveform synthesizer. The...
This paper is the second in a series on fitting combinations of basic mathematical functions to measured data from the real world. This installment explains...
The root mean square (RMS) of the surface departure or wavefront deformation is a common value to extract from an optical test. The RMS may be a tolerance an...
Because of its excellent osteoconductivity and bone-replacement capability, self-setting calcium phosphate cement (CPC) has been used in a number of clincal...

Polyethylene and other polyolefins have not been amenable to mass spectrometric characterization of molecular mass distribution due to the ineffectiveness of...
ginning with the balanced incomplete block designs known as Youden Spuares, W.J. Youden created many designs tailored to the needs of the physical and...
We discuss the history and purpose of the NIST evaluations of speaker recognition performance. We cover the sites that have participated, the performance...
In this paper, a hybrid fractal zerotree wavelet (FZW) image coding algorithm is proposed. The algorithm couples a zerotree-based encoder, such as the embedded...
Calcium phosphates comprise the largest group of biominerals in vertebrate animals. They also have many uses in industry, medicine and everyday life...

Modeling x-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) requires computationally intensive calculations. We show that parallel processing reduces the time...
Dissimilar metal welds were prepared between a super austenitic stainless steel, AL-6XN alloy, and two Ni-base filler metals, IN625 and IN622, using the Gas...

This paper investigates and reviews the trend of phase formation and crystal chemistry of selected series of compounds in SrO- R 2O 3-CuO x and related systems...
In the last two decades the interactions of organic molecules with different inorganic minerals have been the focus of considerable biomineralization and...
MOKE hystersis loops were acquired at various radial positions on a 25 mm diameter disk of a (0.3 nm Co/1.2 nm Pt)15 multilayer. At the center of the disk, the...
In the assessment of the performance of lead-free solders, the most important question is how well these materials perform under conditions of thermomechanical...

The demand to print increasingly smaller microelectronic device features means that the thickness of the polymer films used in the lithographic processes must...
The collision-induced, near-infrared O 2 continuum band overlapping the weak α 1δg - X 3ς- g, v=O -0, 1.27 m discrete band of O 2 has been investigated in O 2...
We demonstrate a simple optical clock based on an optical transition of iodine molecules, providing a frequency stability stability superior to most rf sources...
