Author(s)
Shanee T. Dawkins, Kristen Greene, Michelle P. Steves, Mary F. Theofanos, Yee-Yin Choong, Susanne M. Furman, Sandra S. Prettyman
The public safety community is transitioning from land mobile radios to a communications technology ecosystem including a variety of broadband data sharing platforms. Successful deployment and adoption of new communications technology relies on efficient

Automated Cryptographic Validation (ACV) Testing

September 24, 2018
Author(s)
Apostol T. Vassilev, Larry Feldman, Gregory A. Witte
This bulletin summarizes the NIST Automated Cryptographic Validation (ACV) Testing project. NIST selects and standardizes cryptographic algorithms as NIST-approved for use within the U.S. Federal Government. The Computer Security Division specifies the

Benchmarking for keyword extraction methodologies in maintenance work orders

September 24, 2018
Author(s)
Thurston B. Sexton, Michael P. Brundage, Melinda Hodkiewicz, Thomas Smoker
Maintenance has largely remained a human-knowledge centered activity, with the primary records of maintenance activity being text-based maintenance work orders (MWOs) that attempt to encode the diagnostic processes of technicians. However, the bulk of

Contact and Non-Contact Measurement of Electronic Transport in Individual 2D SnS Colloidal Semiconductor Nanocrystals

September 24, 2018
Author(s)
Adam J. Biacchi, Son T. Le, Brian G. Alberding, Joseph A. Hagmann, Sujitra J. Pookpanratana, Edwin J. Heilweil, Curt A. Richter, Angela R. Hight Walker
Colloidal-based solution syntheses offer a scalable and cost-efficient means of producing 2D nanomaterials in high yield. While much progress has been made towards the controlled and tailorable synthesis of semiconductor nanocrystals in solution, it

Femtosecond Laser Eyewear Protection: Measurements and Precautions for Amplified High Power Applications

September 24, 2018
Author(s)
Christopher J. Stromberg, Sarah Wirick, Maximilian Riedel-Topper, Brian Alberding, Joshua A. Hadler, Edwin J. Heilweil
Ultrafast lasers have become increasingly important as research tools in laboratories and commercial enterprises suggesting laser safety, personal protection and awareness becomes ever more important. Laser safety eyewear are typically rated by their

Harmonization of LC-MS/MS protein assays

September 24, 2018
Author(s)
Alan L. Rockwood, Mark Lowenthal, Cory Bystrom
Harmonization of diagnostic test results is fundamental to the effective use of laboratory testing in the diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of disease. Formal approaches to harmonization and standardization provide a rigorous and high quality Roadmap to

Advanced Maintenance in Manufacturing: Costs and Benefits

September 23, 2018
Author(s)
Douglas Thomas
The costs of maintenance and the potential effect on maintenance costs from adopting predictive maintenance techniques is not well documented at the national level. A number of data items need to be collected to estimate the costs and losses associated

Methodology for evaluating and comparing fluorescence measurement capabilities: Multi-site study of 23 flow cytometers

September 23, 2018
Author(s)
David R. Parks, Wayne A. Moore, Ryan Brinkman, Yong Chen, Danilo Condello, Faysal E. Khettabi, John P. Nolan, Stephen P. Perfetto, Doug Redelman, Josef Spidlen, Jonathan V. Dyke, Lili Wang, James C. Wood
We developed measurement methods and analysis procedures to perform inter-instrument comparisons and used them to evaluate and compare the fluorescence measurement capabilities among 23 cytometers in 9 laboratories selected to provide a range of

MCDC-Star An Open-source MC/DC Measurement Tool

September 22, 2018
Author(s)
Raghu N. Kacker, David R. Kuhn, Eric Wong
Applying MC/DC criterion to real-world projects can be expensive due to not only the cost of commercial tools, but also the difficulty of generating test cases to achieve high coverage. To lower the expense from both aspects, this paper presents an easy-to

Nanoscale Hygromechanical Behavior of Lignin

September 22, 2018
Author(s)
Kristen M. Hess, Jason Killgore, Wil Srubar
The nanoscale hygromechanical behavior of lignin is presented in this work. Three atomic force microscopy experimental methods were used to correlate moisture sorption of lignin to its mechanicalbehavior. First, sorption isotherms were established using

Approaches for the Quantitative Analysis of Oxidation State in Cerium Oxide Nanomaterials

September 21, 2018
Author(s)
Christopher M. Sims, Russell A. Maier, Aaron C. Johnston-Peck, Justin M. Gorham, Vincent A. Hackley, Bryant C. Nelson
Cerium oxide nanomaterials (nanoceria, CNMs) are receiving increased attention from the research community due to their unique chemical properties, most prominent of which is their ability to alternate between the Ce3+ and Ce4+ oxidation states. While many

Dietary Supplement Laboratory Quality Assurance Program: Exercise N Final Report

September 21, 2018
Author(s)
Chuck Barber, Melissa M. Phillips, Kate Rimmer, Laura J. Wood, Steven J. Christopher
The NIST Dietary Supplement Laboratory Quality Assurance Program (DSQAP) was established in collaboration with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS) in 2007 to enable members of the dietary supplement community to
