Blind Estimation of Tip Geometry from Noisy Images

Author(s)
John S. Villarrubia
Broadening of image features due to non-vanishing tip size is a well-known imaging artifact in scanned probe microscopy (SPM) topographs. This need not be a

Photodegradation of CF3I (NIST SP 890)

Author(s)
Marc R. Nyden
CF3I has been identified as a leading candidate for the replacement of halon fire extinguishing agents because of its high degree of effectiveness as a flame

Agent Stability Under Storage (NIST SP 890)

Author(s)
Richard H. Harris Jr.
Significant losses in fire suppression effectiveness and increases in toxicity are possible if a fire extinguishing agent degrades during multi-year storage
