Molecular dynamics simulations were used to characterize the self-assembly of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) on a (6,5) single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) in aqueous solution for the purpose of gaining an improved theoretical understanding of separation

The web-based tool Fate and Transport of Indoor Microbiological Aerosols (FaTIMA) allows for the determination of the indoor fate of microbiological aerosols associated with ventilation, filtration, deposition and inactivation mechanisms. FaTIMA provides a
The application of computational fluid dynamics to complex engineering flow problems necessitates the adoption of numerical algorithms that are accurate, robust and efficient at the same time. These are usually conflicting requirements and there is still

Existing sensors for gaseous species often degrade their performance because of the loss of the measurement accuracy in the presence of interferences. Thus, new sensing approaches are required with improved sensor selectivity. We are developing a new
This report summarizes recent technical work of the Applied and Computational Sciences Division of the Information Technology Laboratory at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Part I (Overview) provides a high-level overview of the
The quality of AM built parts is highly correlated to the melt pool characteristics. Hence melt pool monitoring and control can potentially improve AM part quality. This paper presents a neighboring-effect modeling method (NBEM) that uses scan strategy to

Biopharmaceutical product and process development does not yet take advantage of predictive computational modeling to nearly the degree seen in industries based on smaller molecules. To assess and advance progress in this area, spirited coopetition was
Measurement uncertainty is a parameter that is used to characterize the dispersion of the values attributed to a measurand. There are multiple definitions of measurement uncertainty that were adopted by various international working groups. The differences

The accurate prediction of stable crystalline phases is a long-standing problem encountered in the study of conventional atomic and molecular solids as well as soft materials. One possible solution involves enumerating a reasonable set of candidate
In this survey paper, we exhaustively explore the terminating basic hypergeometric representations of the Askey–Wilson polynomials and the corresponding terminating basic hypergeometric transformations that these polynomials satisfy.
Models of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equilibia that for computational convenience assume the existence of a system of nested magnetic flux surfaces tend to exhibit singular current sheets that are located on resonant flux surfaces that are associated with
For homes to become active participants in a smart grid, intelligent control algorithms are needed to facilitate autonomous interactions that take homeowner preferences into consideration. Many control algorithms for demand response have been proposed in
This report presents an approach to verifying executability of system behavior models by treating them as logical constraint problems solved using Satisfiability Modulo Theory (SMT). With behavior models interpreted as logical constraints on execution

This report presents the summary of a workshop held at NIST on March 15-16, 2018 on the topic of applied category theory (ACT). The meeting had two main goals: (i) mapping the current ACT landscape and (ii) developing a roadmap for transitioning the field

A field-only boundary integral formulation of electromagnetics is derived without the use of surface currents that appear in the Stratton--Chu formulation. For scattering by a perfect electrical conductor (PEC), the components of the electric field are
