Issues in Evaluation of Complex Fire Models

Author(s)
Richard D. Peacock, Paul A. Reneke, Glenn P. Forney, M. M. Kostreva
Several methods of evaluation of the predictive capability have been applied to fire models, but with limited utility. These range from explicit evaluation of

Suppression of Ignition Over a Heated Metal Surface

Author(s)
Anthony P. Hamins, Robert P. Borthwick
The effectiveness of various agents including N2, C3HF3, C3HF7, CF3Br and CF3I was compared in suppressing the ignition of stoichiometric mixtures of methane

Molecular Wires: Charge Transport, Mechanisms and Control

Author(s)
M Ratner, B Davis, M Kemp, V Mujica, A. E. Roitberg, S Yaliraki
By molecular wires, one generally means molecular structures that transmit a signal between two termini. We discuss some theoretical models and analysis for

Rapidly Renewable Lap: Theory and Practice

Author(s)
Christopher J. Evans, R E. Parks, David J. Roderick, Michael L. McGlauflin
The rapidly renewable lap (RRL) uses a textured substrate over which thin films are slumped. The substrate provides the geometry of the lap and a localized

Metrological Timelines in Traceability

Author(s)
S D. Rasberry, Charles D. Ehrlich
Current developments and applications in the field of metrology have increased the need for correct and appropriate usage of the terms and concepts related to

Vibration of a Room-Sized Airspring-Supported Slab

Author(s)
H Amick, B Sennewald, N C. Pardue, E C. Teague, Brian R. Scace
This paper reports the results of the finite element analysis and in situ testing of a large-scale (4 m x 10 m) pneumatically isolated concrete slab. The slab

Pixel Based Absolute Topography Test for Three Flats

Author(s)
R E. Parks, Lianzhen Shao, Christopher J. Evans
We demonstrate a new method of performing the absolute three flat test using reflection symmetries of the surfaces and an algorithm for generating the rotation

Understanding Scanned Probe Oxidation of Silicon

Author(s)
John A. Dagata, T Inoue, J Itoh, H Yokoyama
A model for scanned probe microscope (SPM) silicon oxidation is presented. The model was derived from a consideration of the space-charge dependence of this
