NIST has established measurement services for the calibration of optical fiber power meters at the three nominal wavelengths of 850, 1300, and 1550 nm using
A measurement system for evaluating the performance of hand-held (HH) and walk-through (WT) metal detectors is described. These detectors produce time-varying
Weakly-analytic convex, faithfully convex, and self-concordant functions are considered, and their relationships described. The purpose of the report is to

A sensor for measurement of vapors from the hydrocarbon-based fuels JP-8, DF-2, and gasoline is described. The sensor is based upon a previously reported laser
In practical fire suppression systems for large rooms or compartments, water sprinklers are often located on or near the ceilings. In this configuration, the

As part of the National effort to identify effective replacements for halon fire suppressants, NIST has been investigating whether highly effective thermal
Smokeview is a software tool designed to visualize numerical predictions generated by the NIST Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS). FDS is a computational fluid
In the last 30 years, the compressive strength of concrete that can be produced reliably in the field has more than doubled, from 35 MPa (5000 psi) to 85 MPa

A laboratory study was conducted to determine the reliability of spot test kits for detecting the presence of lead in household paint when tests were conducted
A review of the computer program 4sight has revealed that an accurate prediction of water transport through the concrete depends upon an accurate prediction of
As the co-chairs of the DASE Symposium 2000, we would like to welcome you to this inaugural symposium. We have the pleasure of holding the DASE Symposium 2000
What follows is the description of an experiment in which we investigated the possibility that blurring techniques and lossless compression could be combined as
The Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement (GUM) is intended for all scientific and technological measurements in science, engineering, commerce
This is the proceedings of the ninth conference in this series. It was held September 28 to 30, 1999, in Detroit, MI, under the sponsorship of the American
