A Semantic Product Modeling Framework and Its Application for Behavior Evaluation

January 9, 2012
Author(s)
Jae H. Lee, Steven J. Fenves, Conrad E. Bock, Sudarsan Rachuri, Hyo-Won Suh, Xenia Fiorentini, Ram D. Sriram
Supporting different stakeholder viewpoints across the product’s entire lifecycle requires semantic richness to represent product related information and thus enable multi-view engineering simulations. This paper proposes a multi-level product modeling

Effect of elastic deformation on frictional properties of few-layer graphene

January 9, 2012
Author(s)
Alexander Y. Smolyanitsky, Jason P. Killgore, Vinod K. Tewary
We describe the results of Brownian dynamics (BD) simulations of an AFM tip scanned on locally suspended few-layer graphene. The effects of surface compliance and sample relaxation are directly related to the observed friction force. We demonstrate that

Monoammoniate of Calcium Amidoborane - Synthesis, Structure and Hydrogen-Storage Properties

January 9, 2012
Author(s)
Yong Shen Chua, Hui Wu, Wei Zhou, Terrence J. Udovic, Guotao Wu, Zhitao Xiong, Ming Wah Wong, Ping Chen
The monoammoniate of calcium amidoborane, Ca(NH 2BH 3) 2¿NH 3 was synthesized by ball milling an equimolar mixture of CaNH and AB. Its crystal structure has been determined and found to contain a complete dihydrogen-bonded network. Thermal decomposition

Predictive Gold Nanocluster Formation Controlled by Metal-Ligand Complexes

January 9, 2012
Author(s)
John M. Pettibone, Jeffrey W. Hudgens
The formation of ligand-protected transition metal nanoclusters in size-selective syntheses is driven by the inherent properties of the protecting ligands. We have previously reported the selective, monodisperse product formation of phosphine protected Au

Recommendations for Elevator Messaging Strategies

January 6, 2012
Author(s)
Erica D. Kuligowski, Bryan L. Hoskins
Building occupants, who have been instructed to use elevators for evacuation, and have subsequently congregated within the elevator lobby for eventual evacuation, are presented with an uncertain and potentially intimidating situation. For example, waiting

NIST Time and Frequency Bulletin

January 5, 2012
Author(s)
Petrina C. Potts
The Time and Frequency Bulletin provides information on performance of time scales and a varieth of broadcasts (and related information) to users of the NIST services.

Simulation of the Dynamics of a Wind-Driven Fire in a Ranch-Style House - Texas

January 5, 2012
Author(s)
Adam M. Barowy, Daniel M. Madrzykowski
This report describes the results of calculations using the NIST Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) performed to provide insight on the thermal conditions that may have occurred during a wind-driven fire in a one-story ranch house on April 12, 2009 in Houston

Coverage-Dependent Morphology of PEGylated Lysozyme Layers Adsorbed on Silica

January 4, 2012
Author(s)
Sheetal S. Pai, Frank Heinrich, Adam L. Canady, Todd M. Przybycien, Robert D. Tilton
Neutron reflection was used to characterize the adsorbed layer structure for lysozyme conjugated at the N-terminus with a single perdeuterated methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) chain at the silica/water interface. Adsorbed layers were produced with two

Calibrated nanoscale dopant profiling using a scanning microwave microscope.

January 3, 2012
Author(s)
Pavel Kabos, Thomas M. Wallis, H P. Hubner, I. Humer, M. Hochleitner, M. Fenner, M. Moertelmaier, C. Rankl, Atif A. Imtiaz, H. Tanbakuchi, P. Hinterdorfer, J. Smoliner, Joseph J. Kopanski, F. Kienberger
The scanning microwave microscope (SMM) is used for calibrated capacitance spectroscopy and spatially resolved dopant profiling measurements. It consists of an atomic force microscope (AFM) combined with a vector network analyzer operating between 1-20 GHz

Controlling the Self-Assembly of Metal-Seamed Organic Nanocapsules

January 3, 2012
Author(s)
Harshita Kumari, Andrew V. Mossine, Steven R. Kline, Cindi L. Dennis, Drew A. Fowler, Simon J. Teat, Charles L. Barnes, Carol A. Deakyne, Jerry L. Atwood
Puzzling out the intricacies associated with formation of supramolecular structures provides insight into and control of the self-assembly process. Such control may allow tailoring of these structures for specific applications. Herein we report the results

FIRE PATTERN REPEATABILITY: A STUDY IN UNCERTAINTY

January 3, 2012
Author(s)
Daniel M. Madrzykowski, Charles Fleischmann
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is conducting a multi-year study, with the support of the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) and the NIST Office of Law Enforcement Standards (OLES), to examine the repeatability of burn patterns

MICROHOTPLATE TEMPERATURE SENSOR CALIBRATION AND BIST

January 3, 2012
Author(s)
Muhammad Y. Afridi, Christopher B. Montgomery, Stephen Semancik, Kenneth G. Kreider, Jon C. Geist
In this paper we describe a novel long-term microhotplate temperature sensor calibration technique suitable for Built-In Self Test (BIST). The microhotplate thermal resistance (thermal efficiency) and the thermal voltage from an integrated platinum-rhodium

Theoretical optical and x-ray spectra of liquid and solid H2O

January 3, 2012
Author(s)
Eric L. Shirley, Joshua J. Kas, J. T. Vinson, Fernando D. Vila, John J. Rehr
Theoretical optical and x-ray spectra of model structures of water and ice are calculated using a many-body perturbation theory, Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE) approach implemented in the valence- and core-excitation codes AI2NBSE and OCEAN. These codes use
