A collaborative study to compare the long-term measurement performance between guardedhot- plate facilities at the Laboratoire national de métrologie et d’essais (LNE) in France and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in the United

Least Squares Moving-Window Spectral Analysis

January 20, 2017
Author(s)
Young J. Lee
Least squares regression is proposed as a moving-windows method for analysis of a series of spectra acquired as a function of external perturbation. The least squares moving-window (LSMW) method can be considered an extended form of the Savitzky–Golay

John S. Garofolo, Simson L. Garfinkel, Reva B. Schwartz
The first Video Analytics in Public Safety (VAPS) Workshop was held on Monday, June 6, 2016, in San Diego, CA as a satellite workshop of the Public Safety Communications Research (PSCR) Broadband Stakeholder Meeting, which was held on June 7-9. The

Systemic Risks in the Cloud Computing Model: Complex Systems Perspective

January 19, 2017
Author(s)
Vladimir V. Marbukh
This paper reports on quantification and management of inherent systemic risk/performance tradeoff in the cloud computing model. We view Cloud as a Complex System and associate the systemic risks with a possibility of system phase transition to the

Timing Challenges in the Smart Grid

January 19, 2017
Author(s)
YaShian Li-Baboud, Cuong T. Nguyen, Marc A. Weiss, Dhananjay Anand, Allen R. Goldstein, Jason Allnutt, Bob Noseworthy, Ravi Subramaniam
Correct time and timing is one of the foundational elements in enabling the communication and orchestration of technologies for accurate and optimal wide area monitoring, protection and control in the power industry. NIST and IEEE-SA conducted a workshop

A microfabricated optically-pumped magnetic gradiometer

January 18, 2017
Author(s)
Abigail R. Perry, Sean P. Krzyzewski, John E. Kitching, S. Geller, Sheng D., Svenja A. Knappe
We report on the development of a microfabricated atomic magnetic gradiometer based on optical spectroscopy of alkali atoms in the vapor phase. The gradiometer, with a length of 60 mm and a cross section diameter of 12 mm, is made of two chip-scale atomic

Dramatically Reducing Software Vulnerabilities

William M. Healy, Arthur H. Fanney, Brian P. Dougherty, Lisa C. Ng, William V. Payne, Tania Ullah, Farhad Omar
Data were collected over two separate year-long test periods at the Net-Zero Energy Residential Test Facility, a laboratory that is designed to evaluate a variety of technologies and operational strategies that lead to energy efficient houses with

Structure and Order in Organic Semiconductors

January 17, 2017
Author(s)
Chad R. Snyder, Dean M. DeLongchamp, Ryan C. Nieuwendaal, Andrew A. Herzing
Several techniques for characterizing semiconducting polymer order on different length scales are presented, including (1) differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), (2) solid state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), (3) transmission electron

Application of 2D-NMR with Room Temperature NMR Probes for the Assessment of the Higher Order Structure of Filgrastim

January 15, 2017
Author(s)
Robert G. Brinson, Houman Ghasriani, Derek Hodgson, Adams Kristie, Ian McEwen, Kang Chen, Yves Aubin, John P. Marino
The higher order structure (HOS) of biotherapeutics is a critical quality attribute that can be evaluated by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy at atomic resolution. NMR spectral mapping of HOS can be used to establish HOS consistency of a

Measurements of trapped-ion heating rates with exchangeable surfaces in close proximity

January 15, 2017
Author(s)
Dustin A. Hite, Kyle S. McKay, Shlomi Salman Kotler, Dietrich G. Leibfried, David J. Wineland, David P. Pappas
Electric-field noise from the surfaces of ion-trap electrodes couples to the ion’s charge causing heating of the ion’s motional modes. This heating limits the fidelity of quantum gates implemented in quantum information processing experiments. The exact

Activity Model for Homogenization of Data Sets in Laser-based Powder Bed Fusion

January 14, 2017
