The 2016 revision of ISO 1 Standard reference temperature for the specification of geometrical and dimensional properties

November 10, 2016
Author(s)
Steven D. Phillips, Craig M. Shakarji, Alessandro Balsamo, Michael Krystek, Edward P. Morse
This paper discusses the recently published 2016 (third edition) of ISO 1. While the value of the standard reference temperature remains unchanged at 20 C, definitions for the reference temperature and standard reference temperature are now included. This

Loading Protocols for ASCE 41 Backbone Curves

November 1, 2016
Author(s)
Bruce F. Maison, Matthew Speicher
ASCE 41-13 is an industry standard for seismic evaluation and retrofit of existing buildings. Alternative component modeling and acceptance criteria are based on a backbone curve constructed from an envelope of component hysteresis loops derived via

Non-contact Surface Conductance Measurement of Graphene using Resonant Cavity

October 10, 2016
Author(s)
Jan Obrzut, Oleg A. Kirillov
The measurement of conductance by a resonant cavity involves monitoring the resonant frequency shift and change in the quality factor before and after insertion of the specimen into the cavity. The method is applicable to carbon Vapor deposited (CVD)

Integrating Top-down and Bottom-up Cybersecurity Guidance using XML

August 1, 2016
Author(s)
Joshua Lubell
This paper describes a markup-based approach for synthesizing disparate information sources, and then discusses a software implementation of the approach. The implementation, developed using XForms and Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT)
