We report further measurements of lithium and boron bound to human plasma proteins using the techniques of gel chromatography, thermal-neutron activation, and high-sensitivity helium isotope mass spectrometry. The plasma sample was donated by a bipolar

The fate, transport and ultimate impact of toxic compounds in aquatic systems is governed by their distribution between the particulate, colloidal and dissolved phases. Colloids, conventionally defined as solid material between 1 nm and 1 m in size
Observation of conductance changes in material films upon their interactions with gas phase molecules is the basis of operation of the chemical microsensors being developed in the Chemical Sciences and Technology Laboratory at NIST. These interactions are
There has been significant progress in the experimental study of adhesion at the nanometer scale using scanning probe methods, but numerous challenges exist. A discussion of solid-solid adhesion without an intervening medium is provided elsewhere in this
Isotopic Reference Materials (RMs) are a critical component in the assurance of laboratory analytical quality, and have been applied to growing needs in environmental monitoring, medical and industrial applications, consumer protection, and in the
This paper describes the present situation regarding chemical kinetic databases for the simulation of the combustion of liquid fuels. Past work in the area is summarized. Much is known about the, reactions of the smaller fragments from combustion process

We report on a comparative measurement of SiO 2/Si dielectric film thickness (t < 10 nm) using grazing incidence x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, neutron reflectometry, and spectroscopic ellipsometry. Samples with nominal thicknesses of 3 nm to 6 nm were
