Lifetime of the metastable 2 P 1/2 state of F-like Ar 9+ isolated in a compact Penning trap

September 6, 2018
Author(s)
Samuel M. Brewer, Joan M. Dreiling, Nicholas D. Guise, Shannon M. Hoogerheide, Aung Naing, Joseph N. Tan
Multiple-ionized atoms can be captured at low energy in a compact Penning trap, allowing the isolation of a single charge state to measure the radiative lifetime of an atomic state that decays via weakly allowed transitions. Such a measurement is reported

Quantifying Information Exposure in Internet Routing

September 6, 2018
Author(s)
Peter M. Mell, Assane Gueye, Christopher A. Schanzle
Data sent over the Internet can be monitored and manipulated by intermediate entities in the data path from the source to the destination. For unencrypted communications (and some encrypted communications with known weaknesses), eavesdropping and man-in

Resolving Interfacial Charge Transfer in Titanate Superlattices using Resonant X-Ray Reflectometry

September 6, 2018
Author(s)
Ryan F. Need, P. B. Marshall, E. Weschke, Alexander J. Grutter, Dustin Allen Gilbert, E. Arenholz, P. Shafer, S. Stemmer, Stephen D. Wilson
Oxide interfaces, where strong electron-electron correlations lead to emergent phase behavior, have been the subject of intense study in recent years. However, the buried nature of heterointerfaces often makes them challenging to probe directly. Addressing

Transition probabilities of Co II, weak lines to the ground and low metastable levels

September 5, 2018
Author(s)
James E. Lawler, T. Feigenson, Chris Sneden, John J. Cowan, Gillian Nave
New branching fraction measurements based primarily on data from a cross dispersed echelle spectrometer are reported for 84 lines of Co II. The branching fractions for 82 lines are converted to absolute atomic transition probabilities using radiative

Urinary Phthalate Metabolites in Common Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) from Sarasota Bay, FL, USA

September 5, 2018
Author(s)
Leslie Hart, Barbara Beckingham, Randall Wells, Moria Alten-Flagg, Kerry Wischusen, Amanda Moors, John Kucklick, Pisarski Emily, Ed Wirth
Phthalates are chemical additives to common consumer goods including cleaning products, cosmetics, personal care products, and plastic. Because they are not chemically bound to these products and are widely used, the potential for environmental

Characterization and operation optimization of large field-of-view optical interferometers using binary pseudorandom array test standards

September 4, 2018
Author(s)
Valeriy V. Yashchuk, Sergey Babin, Stefano Cabrini, Ulf Griesmann, Ian Lacey, Keiko Munechika, Carlos Pina Hernandez, Quandou Wang
Recently, a technique for calibration of the Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) of a broad variety of metrology instrumentation has been established. The technique is based on test samples structured according to binary pseudo-random (BPR) one-dimensional

REDUCED-ORDER THERMAL ANALYSIS OF FIRE EFFECTS ON COMPOSITE SLABS

September 4, 2018
Author(s)
Jian Jiang, Joseph A. Main, Jonathan M. Weigand, Fahim Sadek
This paper describes a reduced-order modeling approach for thermal analyses of composite slabs with profiled decking. The reduced-order modeling approach consists of alternating strips of layered shell elements, representing the thick and thin portions of

Strain-Induced Competition between Ferromagnetism and Emergent Antiferromagnetism in (Eu,Sr)MnO 3

September 4, 2018
Author(s)
Alexander J Grutter, Steven M. Disseler, E. J. Moon, Dustin Allen Gilbert, E. Arenholz, A. Suter, T. Prokscha, Z. Salman, Brian J Kirby, S. J. May
We demonstrate emergent antiferromagnetic interactions is strained thin films of the mixed valence manganite (Eu,SR)MnO 3. Although the composition studied, Eu 0.7Sr 0.3MnO 3, will nominally yield a ferromagnetic phase in bulk, we observe significant

Users Guide to the NIST Data Alignment Tool V1.0

September 4, 2018
Author(s)
Michael A. Galler
The Data Alignment Tool (DAT) was built to assist with the analysis of data used in testing Fault Detection and Diagnostics (FDD) tools and building commissioning (Cx) tools. The data sources were the Virtual Cybernetic Building Testbed (VCBT) and data

Dynamic and absolute measurements of laser coupling efficiency during laser spot welds

September 3, 2018
Author(s)
Brian J. Simonds, Jeffrey W. Sowards, Joshua A. Hadler, Erik A. Pfeif, Boris Wilthan, Jack R. Tanner, Chandler Harris, Paul A. Williams
Laser absorptance (coupling efficiency) changes rapidly during laser metal processing due to temperature and multiple phase changes. We find that there is limited literature data available, but this property is vital for accurate process simulations, as

True value and uncertainty in measurement

September 3, 2018
Author(s)
Raghu N. Kacker
We will discuss the concept of true value and its connection with the uncertainty in measurement as defined in the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement (GUM), and three subsequent documents from the Joint Committee for Guides in Metrology

Performance Analysis of the 2017 NIST Language Recognition Evaluation

September 2, 2018
Author(s)
Omid Sadjadi, Timothee N. Kheyrkhah, Craig Greenberg, Douglas A. Reynolds, Elliot Singer, Lisa Mason, Jaime Hernandez-Cordero
The 2017 NIST language recognition evaluation (LRE) was held in the autumn of 2017. Similar to the past LRE's, the basic task in LRE17 was language detection, with an emphasis on discriminating closely related languages (14 in total) selected from 5
