CFAST is a two-zone fire model capable of predicting the environment in a multi-compartment structure subjected to a fire. It calculates the time evolving
We present an uncertainty analysis of measurements performed with NIST's electrooptic sampling system. The system measures the voltage waveform injected by a
A lattice metric singualrity occurs when unit cells defining two (or more) lattices yield the identical set of unique calculated d-spacings. The existence of
We have prepared a comprehensive critically evaluated compilation of the most accurate wavelength measurements for classified lines of Ne I. Data from 19
Oxidative DNA damage results from reactions of oxygen-derived species including free radicals, most notable hydroxyl radical, with the four heterocyclic bases
