This report gives an overview about the first results of an investigation of mixtures that consist of dendrimers and conventional polymers. Poly[amido amine]
The uncertainty in the measurement of aperture area can limit high-accuracy radiometric and photometric measurements. Relative total uncertainties in some
The absolute, spatially resolved electron densities in planar inductively coupled plasmas have been measured by two different plasma diagnostic techniques, the
In June 1995, our research group at the Joint Institute for Laboratory Astrophysics in Bolder, Colorado, succeeded in creating a miniscule but marvelous droplet
This work demonstrates a numerically feasible, yet realistic, calculational method for incorporating electron-core-hold interactions (Core-hole effects) in the

We have constructed a new (UV) radiometry facility at the Synchrotron Ultraviolet Radiation Facility [SURF II] at the National Institute of Standards and
The complex dielectric constant (relative electric permittivity) [epsilon] r = [epsilon]' - I[epsilon]'' of liquid water was redetermined in the temperature
Human beings have a poorly understood ability to recognize patterns in their environment. Sometimes this ability is vital to survival. Sometimes it is the
On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of Siggraph, it is useful to recall that computer processing of images began at the National Bureau of Standards (NBS

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
The growth rate and electrical character of nanostructures produced by scanned probe oxidation are investigated by integrating an in-situ electrical force
The National Institute of Standards and Technology [NIST] has developed an IR radiant power response scale for the spectral range from 2 micro υ to 20 micro υ

Several methods of evaluation of the predictive capability have been applied to fire models, but with limited utility. These range from explicit evaluation of
The laminar flamelet concept is based on the premise that scalar properties in laminar diffusion flames are nearly universal functions of mixture fraction. It
Measured, local-average Nusselt numbers (Nu) for in-tube, convective boiling and condensation with a twisted-tape insert are presented for: R12, R22, R152a
The effectiveness of various agents including N2, C3HF3, C3HF7, CF3Br and CF3I was compared in suppressing the ignition of stoichiometric mixtures of methane
