The speed of sound was measured in gaseous WF 6 using a highly precise acoustic resonance technique. The data span the temperature range from 290 to 420 K and
A possible structure of the active site of a new metalloenzyme family, metalloglutathione transferase (MGT), is deduced from ab initio calculations suggested by
Surface roughness degrades the accuracy of quantitative electron probe x-ray microanalysis through the action of geometric effects on x-ray production and
A gas phase mechanism for the formation of polychlorinated benzene, in systems where chlorine concentration need not be high, is presented. The key features are

We have studied the relationship between amino acid sequence and substrate specificity in a DNA glycosylase family by characterizing experimentally the
The p-p-T relationships were measured for binary refrigerant mixtures by an isochoric method with gravimetric determinations of the amount of substance
Transmission and scanning electron microscopes (TEM and SEM) together offer the most complete tool available for the characterization of materials. This

A fast algorithm for assessing the Gaussian filtered mean line was deduced using the central limit theorem and an approximation method. This algorithm only uses
This paper presents several approaches for a global standards infrastructure, from the viewpoint of the United States, and from the National Institute of
This article discusses how standards are developed; the roles played by the private sector and by government, including mandates of the National Technology
The Journal of Research of the National Institute of Standards and Technology reports NIST research and development in those disciplines of the physical and
