The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted a wide range of public health system challenges for infectious disease surveillance. The discovery that the SARS-CoV-2 virus was shed in feces and can be characterized using PCR-based testing of sewage samples offers new
Future Networks, Beyond 5G and 6G, will continue to expand in scale, complexity and interconnectivity, and will be highly shaped by distributed systems that serve various use cases that go beyond current Use Cases like mMTC (massive Machine Type
This paper describes the efforts of the NIST Cloud Computing Program in the development of understanding the federated cloud concept through the creation of a reference architecture, cooperation with the IEEE and resulting in the publication IEEE 2302-2021
This paper discusses the considerations that were important in 1972, when the current leap second system was adopted, to maintain UTC, the international reference time scale, closely connected to UT1 – a time scale based on the rotation of the Earth

An empirical equation of state in terms of the Helmholtz energy is presented for n-octane. It is valid from the triple point temperature Ttp = 216.37 K to Tmax = 650 K with a maximum pressure of pmax = 1000 MPa and allows for the calculation of all
Standards and conformity assessment are important to strengthening the science and quality of forensic science. Standards provide a foundation for consistency between processes related to testing, accreditation, management systems, and personnel
There remains a need for rheological characterization of metal powder used for powder-spreading-based additive manufacturing (AM). Novel powder rheometers introduced to the commercial market for this purpose must be rigorously evaluated for repeatability
The primary purpose of inter-laboratory comparisons is to demonstrate that the uncertainty specifications of the calibration measurement capabilities of the participating laboratories are correct. The most common criterion for assessing a participating
If large-scale quantum computers are ever built, they will compromise the security of many commonly used cryptographic algorithms. In response, the National Institute of Standards and Technology is in the process of standardizing new cryptographic

The current human reference genome, GRCh38, represents over 20 years of effort to generate a high-quality assembly, which has benefitted society. However, it still has many gaps and errors, and does not represent a biological genome as it is a blend of
We establish here a set of cytocentric principles to improve use of cells for regenerative medicine (RM) applications. The five cytocentric principles are cells need 1) full-time protection from contamination, 2) physiologic simulation, 3) proper
