Indoor Environmental Resilience: White Paper

July 16, 2015
Author(s)
Andrew K. Persily, Steven J. Emmerich
NIST is developing a framework to define programs and strategies to increase community-based resilience in the face of a broad range of natural disasters and other extreme events. Many of these events will affect indoor environmental quality either through

Quantifying and Improving Clinical-grade Coverage and Accuracy using Augmented Exome Sequencing

July 16, 2015
Author(s)
Justin M. Zook, Anil Patwardhan, Marc L. Salit, Carlos Bustamante, Euan Ashley, Michael Snyder, John West, Richard Chen
Exome sequencing is increasingly used for the clinical evaluation of genetic disease, yet accuracy and coverage in medically interpretable parts of the genome remains under-characterized. We evaluate recently developed exome sequencing platforms in the

Challenges to the use of the GUM

July 15, 2015
Author(s)
Steven D. Phillips
Presentation at the BIPM on (1) Issues with the uncertainty evaluation associated with the calibration of indicating instruments; and (2) the growing problem with “outlier rejection” in measurements with measurands defined by “extreme values”

Defensive Resource Allocations with Security Chokepoints in IPv6 Networks

July 15, 2015
Author(s)
Assane Gueye, Peter M. Mell, Richard Harang, Richard J. La
Securely configured Internet Protocol version 6 networks can be made resistant to network scanning, forcing attackers to propagate following existing benign communication paths. We exploit this attacker limitation in a defensive approach in which

Formic Acid oxidation on platinum- a simple mechanistic study

July 15, 2015
Author(s)
Kathleen A. Schwarz, Ravishankar Sundararaman, Thomas P. Moffat, Thomas C. Allison
The oxidation of organic acids on noble metal sur-faces is of importance for industrial processes and of academic interest, but the basic reaction mechanisms continue to be a matter of debate. Historically, mechanisms involving the formic acid molecule

A simple and fast spline filtering algorithm for surface metrology

July 14, 2015
Author(s)
Hao H. Zhang, Daniel B. Ott, Jun-Feng Song, D Ott, Wei Chu
The spline filters and the corresponding robust filters are commonly used filters recommended in ISO standards for surface evaluation. Generally, these linear and non-linear spline filters, composed of symmetric, positive-definite matrices, are always

Fractionation and characterization of high aspect ratio gold nanorods using asymmetric-flow field flow fractionation and single particle inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry

July 14, 2015
Author(s)
Thao M. Nguyen, Jingyu Liu, Vincent A. Hackley
Development of methods for the in situ fractionation and characterization of high aspect ratio (AR) gold nanorods (GNRs) is a rapidly growing area of interest within the nanotechnology field, particularly with respect to nanomanufacturing and biomedical

SIMULATION-BASED DESIGN CONCEPT EVALUATION FOR AMBULANCE PATIENT COMPARTMENTS

July 14, 2015
Author(s)
Deogratias Kibira, Yung-Tsun T. Lee, Jennifer L. Marshall, Allison Barnard Feeney, Larry Avery, Allie Jacobs
To address the inadequacy of existing standards regarding interior layout design, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the National Institute for

An Itinerant Antiferromagnetic Metal Without Magnetic Constituents

July 13, 2015
Author(s)
E. Svanidze, Jiakui K. Wang, Tiglet Besara, L. Liu, Qingzhen Huang, T. Siegrist, Benjamin Frandsen, Jeffrey W. Lynn, Andriy H. Nevidomskyy, Monica Barbara Gamza, M.C. Aronson, Y.J. Uemura, E. Morosan
Itinerant and local moment magnetism have substantively different origins, and require distinct theoretical treatment. A unified theory of magnetism has long been sought after, and remains elusive, mainly due to the limited number of known itinerant

Spin Waves and Spatially Anisotropic Exchange Interactions in the S = 2 Stripe Antiferromagnet Rb 0.8 Fe 1.5 S 2

July 13, 2015
Author(s)
Meng Wang, P. Valdivia, Ming Yi, J. X. Chen, W. L. Zhang, R. A. Ewings, T. G. Perring, Yang Zhao, Leland Harriger, Jeffrey W. Lynn, E. Bourret-Courchesne, Pengcheng Dai, D. H. Lee, D. X. Yao, R. J. Birgeneau
An inelastic neutron scattering study of the spin waves corresponding to the stripe antiferromagnetic order in insulating Rb 0.8Fe 1.5S 2 throughout the Brillouin zone is reported. The spin wave spectra are well described by a Heisenberg Hamiltonian with

Strategies for Parallel Markup

July 12, 2015
Author(s)
Bruce R. Miller
Cross-referenced parallel markup for mathematics allows the combination of both presentation and content representations while associating the components of each. Interesting applications are enabled by such an arrangement, such as interaction with parts

Compact X-ray and Extreme-Ultraviolet Light Sources

July 10, 2015
Author(s)
Lahsen Assoufid, Uwe Arp, Patrick Naulleau, Sandra Biedron , William Graves
Bringing the brightness and power of vast synchrotron and free-electron laser sources to the scale of the lab and clinic marks an important next frontier—and could transform the landscape of X-ray science and technology.
