In studies of various nonlinear optical phenomena, strong resonant features in the atomic or molecular response to multi-photon driven processes have been used to greatly enhance the visibility of otherwise weak higher- order processes. However, there are

Pulse radiolysis with spectrophotometric and conductometric detection was utilized to study the formation and reactions of radicals from benzene and dienes in aqueous solutions. The benzene OH adduct, C6H6OH, reacts with O2 (k = 3 x 108 L mol-1 s-1) in a

A new category of Standard Reference Materials based on dietary supplements are under development by NIST, with certified values for organic constituents and selected trace elements. These materials are provided primarily for use in method development and

Solution NMR studies of a 15N-labeled G-protein ?-subunit (G?) chimera (15N-ChiT) reconstituted heterotrimer have previously shown that binding of ??-subunits induces a pre-activated conformation in G? that may facilitate interaction with R* and guanine
We investigate the influence of high-order dispersion and nonlinearity on the propagation of ultraslow optical solitons in a lifetime broadened four-state atomic system under a Raman excitation. Using a standard method of multiple-scales we derive a
We investigate a life time broadened and coherently prepared five-state system for multi-wave mixing processes. We show that very efficient wave mixing occurs, producing an unconventional mixing wave that has the characteristics of both conventional four
CCQM-K13.1 is a Subsequent Key Comparison for Cadmium and Lead in Sediment conducted to provide the opportunity for two NMIs to demonstrate and document improvements in measurement capability achieved since the conduct of CCQM-K13, Amount content of
A Key Comparison (CCQM-K31) of the determination of arsenic in a marine shellfish (oyster tissue) was conducted under the auspices of the CCQM Inorganic Analysis Working Group as a follow-up to the CCQM-P11 Pilot Study. Arsenic was present at naturally

Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) have been measured for the first time in three different indoor dust Standard Reference Materials (SRMs) prepared by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Two of these SRMs (2583 and 2584) have

A new reference material (RM), RM 8504, has been prepared for use as a diluent oil with Aroclors in transformer oil Standard Reference Materials (SRMs) 3075-3080 or SRM 3090 when developing and validating methods for the determination of polychlorinated
We present a portable spectrometer that uses the frequency-stabilized cavity ring-down spectroscopy technique to realize high-precision measurements of trace water vapor concentration. Measuring one of the strongest rovibrational transitions in the 1 + 3
