Performing Skin Microbiome Research: A Method to the Madness

March 1, 2027
Author(s)
Heidi H. Kong, Bj?rn Andersson, Thomas Clavel, John E. Common, Scott Jackson, Nathanael David Olson, Julia Segre, Claudia Traidl-Hoffman
Growing interest in microbial contributions to human health and disease has increasingly led investigators to examine the microbiome in both healthy skin and cutaneous disorders, including acne, psoriasis, and atopic dermatitis. The need for common

Bilirubin measurements in neonates: uniform neonatal treatment can only be achieved by improved standardization

July 26, 2024
Author(s)
Christian Hulzebos, Johanna Camara, Miranda van Berkel, VINCENT DELATOUR, Stanley Lo, Agnes Mailloux, Marcel Schmidt, Mercy Thomas, Lindsey Mackay, Ronda Greaves
Measurement of total serum bilirubin (TSB) concentration is the gold standard approach for diagnosing neonatal unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia. It is of utmost importance that the measured TSB concentration is sufficiently accurate to prevent

Measurement-driven Langevin modeling of superparamagnetic tunnel junctions

July 23, 2024
Author(s)
Liam Pocher, Temitayo Adeyeye, Sidra Gibeault, Philippe Talatchian, Ursula Ebels, Daniel Lathrop, Jabez J. McClelland, Mark Stiles, Advait Madhavan, Matthew Daniels
Superparamagnetic tunnel junctions are important devices for a range of emerging technologies, but most existing compact models capture only their mean switching rates. Capturing qualitatively accurate analog dynamics of these devices will be important as

NIST Risk Management Framework (RMF) Small Enterprise Quick Start Guide

July 23, 2024
Author(s)
Daniel Eliot
For organizations of all sizes, managing risk (including information security and privacy risk), is critical for organizational resilience. This guide is designed to help small, under-resourced entities understand the value and core components of the NIST

NIST Time and Frequency Bulletin

July 23, 2024
Author(s)
Kelsey Rodriguez
The Time and Frequency Bulletin provides information on performance of time scales and a variety of broadcasts (and related information) to users of the NIST services.

Food Nutrition and Safety Measurements Quality Assurance Program: Exercise 2 Final Report

July 19, 2024
Author(s)
Melissa M. Phillips, Colleen E. Bryan Sallee, Carolyn Burdette, Steven J. Christopher
The Food Nutrition and Safety Measurements Quality Assurance Program (FNSQAP) was launched in 2021. FNSQAP was established to assist laboratories in the development and validation of new analytical methods, in improving the quality of their analytical

The NIST Wildland-Urban Interface Fire Case Study Approach and Outlook

July 19, 2024
Author(s)
Eric Link
Wildland-urban interface (WUI) fires are a threat to thousands of communities in the United States. Thousands of structures are destroyed, and thousands of lives are threatened or upended by fires every year. There are valuable lessons to be learned from

Assessing the Benefits and Risks of Quantum Computers

July 17, 2024
Author(s)
Travis Scholten, Carl Williams, Dustin Moody, Michele Mosca, William Hurley, William J. Zeng, Matthias Troyer, Jay Gambetta
Quantum computing is an emerging technology with potentially far-reaching implications for national prosperity and security. Understanding the timeframes over which economic benefits and national security risks may manifest themselves is vital for ensuring

Database-assisted-design facilitating performance-based tall building design

July 17, 2024
Author(s)
Daniel Rhee, Sophie Sisson, Brian Carman, Mehedy Mashnad, DongHun Yeo
In recent years, wind design, particularly for high-rise buildings, has seen a paradigm shift from a code-based descriptive method to a more specific performance-objective-based design. This new approach, known as the Performance-Based Wind Design (PBWD)

Cryptographic Algorithms and Key Sizes for Personal Identity Verification

July 15, 2024
Author(s)
Hildegard Ferraiolo, Andrew Regenscheid
Federal Information Processing Standard 201-3 (FIPS 201-3) defines the requirements for Personal Identity Verification (PIV) life cycle activities, including identity proofing, registration, PIV Card issuance, and PIV Card usage. FIPS 201-3 also defines

Test Facility for Pressure Losses in Plumbing Pipes and Fittings

July 15, 2024
Author(s)
Lingnan Lin, Natascha S. Milesi-Ferretti, Glen A. Glaeser
This report describes a new test facility at NIST for the measurement of pressure losses in pipes and fittings used in plumbing systems. Pressure losses are fundamental inputs to the design of premise plumbing systems, yet the available technical data on
