Complete degradation of 2,2',6,6'-tetrachlorobiphenyl (PCB 54) in transformer oil is achieved by ionizing radiation without degradation of the oil. Gamma irradiation of transformer oil containing PCB 54 (0.27 mg/g) with a dose of 200 kGy results in
The CCCBDB is a collection of experimental and theoretical thermochemical properties for 580 neutral gas-phase species. The goal of the database/website is to provide a benchmark set of molecules and reactions for the evaluation of ab initio computational

We report illumination-mode near-field optical microscopy images of individual 80-115 nm diameter Au particles recorded with metal-coated fiber probes. It is found that the images are strongly influenced by the metal-coating thickness. This dependence is

Si resonant interband tunnel diodes that demonstrate negative differential resistance at room temperature are presented. The structures were grown using low temperature (320 C) molecular beam epitaxy followed by a post-growth anneal. After a 650 C, 1 min

Standard Reference material (SRM) 2806 is composed of ISO medium test dust (ISO 12103-A3), a mineral dust, suspended in MIL-H-5606 hydraulic oil. SRM 2806 is a traceable particle count standard and is certified for number of particles larger than a
Electron scattering in the environmental scanning electron microscope may contribute x-ray contamination to quantitative analysis. A series of experiments explores at what range and conditions the analyst in the real world needs to be concerned about these
A follow-on to Measures for Progress by Rexmond C. Cochrane, this work covers the history of the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) from 1950-1969. While the book focuses on technical work, the management and administration of the Bureau are also discussed
A model for drag forces in the crevice of pneumatic piston gages is presented. The model uses an interpolation function for momentum transfer between the piston and the cylinder mediated by the gas flowing in the crevice. The interpolation function bridges

Primary pressure standards in the atmospheric pressure range are often established using mercury manometers. To a lesser extent controlled-clearance dead-weight testers in which one component (normally the piston) has been dimensionally measured have also
A hot filament duoplasmatron ion source operating with argon has been modified by addition of an enclosed expansion cup mounted to the extraction side of the duoplasmatron anode. Using sulfur hexafluoride (SF 6) as a feed gas, this triplasmatron ion source
The 2nd Annual Green Chemistry and Engineering Conference was held in Washington, DC in early July, 1998. After two days of technical presentations by international experts on cutting-edge technological advances in sustainable chemistry and engineering, a
