The impetus for this project has been the continuing deterioration of, and the necessity to repair, a large stock of concrete structures. A two-component system
This study examines an alternative method for modeling in-tube condensation heat transfer. The method's fundamental premise is that the heat flux is directly
Passive energy dissipation devices can be used to significantly reduce the response of structures to earthquake and wind excitation. Wide acceptance of these
We use equivalent electrical circuits to analyze the effects of large parasitic impedances existing in all sample probes on four-terminal-pair measurements of
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Modes of Operation Validation System for the Triple Data Encryption Algorithm (TMOVS) specifies the
Locally, statewide and nationally, criminal justice agencies have the technology to capture and store digital images of offenders, including mug shots and
Image processing is a very active area with many applications. Many tasks in image processing are highly complicated, and the quality of the software and
Mobile agent technology offers a new computing paradigm in which a program, in the form of a software agent, can suspend its execution on a host computer
This is a definitive work on the technical and administrative work dedicated to developing a product data exchange standard (ISO 10303, commonoly known as STEP

The use of halons for fire fighting is being phased out due to their deleterious effects on stratospheric ozone. This report summarizes the first-year findings
OMB Circular A-119 requires NIST to report annually to OMB on Federal agency participation in voluntary standards activities. This report also describes
In 1996, the originators of the Streamlining the Nation's Building Regulatory Process project agreed that proven examples of regulatory streamlining initiatives

The burning velocity of premixed carbon monoxide-nitrous oxide flames (background water levels of 5 to 15 ppm) has been determined experimentally for a range of
The production of CF3Br has been banned. As a flame inhibitor, iron pentacarbonyl (Fe(CO)5) is about two orders of magnitude more efficient than CF3Br, but it

Effective intrusion detection capability is an elusive goal, not solved easily or with a single mechanism. However, mobile agents go a long way toward realizing
A real-time line camera system has been used to record Rayleigh light scattering along a laser beam passing radially through a propane axisymmetric turbulent
The rheological or flow properties of concrete in general and of high performance concrete (HPC) in particular, are important because many factors such as ease
The Thermal Protective Performance (TPP) test was developed to quantify the performance of fire fighter protective clothing ensembles under an intense thermal
A calibration procedure for on-machine probing is developed. This is necessary if the machine is used as a coordinate measuring machine to measure the absolute
The 1999 ITL Technical Accomplishments report presents the achievements and highlights of NIST's Information Technology Laboratory during FY 1999. Technical
This report assesses participation, strategies, and progress of firms engaged in technology development through partnerships with the Advanced Technology
This paper illustrates a bottom-up model of a civilian technology policy program by recounting the story of the genesis of the ATP IIH focused program beginning

Efficient design of industrial processes and equipment requires accurate thermal conductivity data for a variety of fluids, such as alternative refrigerants
This paper presents measurements of the burning velocity of premixed CO-H2-O2-N2 flames with and without the inhibitor Fe(CO)5 over a range of initial H2 and O2
This report describes UNIFORMAT II, a format for classifying building elements and related sitework. Elements, as defined here, are major components common to
