There is strong economic and environmental interest in hydrogen as an energy source to contribute to combatting climate change. Hydrogen diffusion into the steel with assistance through various mechanisms of corrosion and pressure will degrade the
The FY 2017 summary, prepared by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), compiles the reports provided by 24 participating agencies listed in Appendix A. In these reports, agencies documented any new use of GUS in lieu of VCS during FY
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
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

The development of an international, precompetitive, collaborative, ultraviolet (UV) research consortium is discussed as an opportunity to lay the groundwork for a new UV commercial industry and the supply chain to support this industry. History has
Rigorous record-keeping and quality control are required to ensure the quality, reproducibility and value of imaging data. The 4DN Initiative and BINA here propose light Microscopy Metadata Specifications that extend the OME Data Model, scale with

Client-side XSLT (CSX) is often used in scenarios where data (in XML) from a remote server is provided to a user who processes it in some way, for example rendering it locally for display. That is, the server provides the data and the client does the work
NIST Handbook 150-22 presents the technical requirements and guidance for the accreditation of laboratories under the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) Voting Systems Testing program. It is intended for information and use by
In a rapidly growing global probiotic market, end-users have difficulty distinguishing between high quality and poor quality products. This threatens consumer and healthcare provider trust in probiotic products. To address this problem, we recommend that
