A microscene approach to the evaluation of hyperspectral system level performance

May 18, 2013
Author(s)
David W. Allen, Ronald G. Resmini, Christopher Deloye
Assessing the ability of a hyperspectral imaging (HSI) system to detect the presence of a substance or to quantify abundance requires an understanding of the many factors in the end-to-end remote sensing scenario from scene to sensor to data exploitation

Bound-state field theory approach to proton structure effects in muonic hydrogen

May 17, 2013
Author(s)
Peter J. Mohr, J Griffith, J. Sapirstein
A bound-state field theory approach to muonic hydrogen is set up using a variant of the Furry representation in which the lowest-order Hamiltonian describes a muon in the presence of a point Coulomb field, but the origin of the binding field is taken to be

Investigation of NaY Zeolite with Adsorbed CO2 by Neutron Powder Diffraction

May 17, 2013
Author(s)
Winnie K. Wong-Ng, James A. Kaduk, Qingzhen Huang, Laura Espinal, Lan (. Li, Jacob W. Burress
The crystal structure of dehydrated NaY zeolite (Na-FAU structure type) with and without adsorbed CO2 has been determined at 4K and at room temperature (RT) using neutron powder diffraction techniques. The CO2-containing sample was prepared at -78 °C and 0

An Optimization Approach for Semantic-based XML Schema Matching

May 16, 2013
Author(s)
Jaewook Kim, Yun Peng, Nenad Ivezic, Jun H. Shin
We propose a novel solution for semantic-based XML schema matching, taking a mathematical programming approach. This method identifies the globally optimal solution for the problem of matching leaf nodes between two XML schema trees by reducing the tree-to

High-resolution infrared and electron-diffraction studies of trimethylenecyclopropane ([3]-radialene)

May 16, 2013
Author(s)
Corey Wright, Joshua Holmes, Joseph W. Nibler, Kenneth Hedberg, James D. White, Lise Hedberg, Alfons Weber, Thomas A. Blake
Combined high-resolution spectroscopic, electron-diffraction, and quantum theoretical methods are particularly advantageous for small molecules of high symmetry and can yield accurate structures that reveal subtle effects of electron delocalization on

On Enhancing Communication of Manufacturing Service Capability Information

May 16, 2013
Author(s)
Boonserm Kulvatunyou, Nenad Ivezic, Yunsu Lee
A manufacturing service model contains both schema and schema-compliant descriptions of suppliers’ service information, such as locations, areas of specialization, capacities, certifications, software capabilities, and material processing capabilities

Boltzmann's H-Function and Diffusion Processes

May 15, 2013
Author(s)
Steven P. Lund, Joseph B. Hubbard, Michael W. Halter
There exists a generalization of Boltzmann's $H$-function that allows for non-uniformly populated stationary states which may exist far from thermodynamic equilibrium. Here we describe a method for obtaining a generalized or collective diffusion

Development of Botanical and Marine Oil Standard Reference Materials for Fatty Acids

May 15, 2013
Author(s)
Michele M. Schantz, Lane C. Sander, Katherine E. Sharpless, Stephen A. Wise, James H. Yen, A. NguyenPho, Joseph M. Betz
As part of a collaboration with the National Institutes of Health’s Office of Dietary Supplements and the Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, the National Institute of Standards and Technology has developed Standard

Direct Experimental Study of the Effect of Dislocations on the Magnetization Reversal in a Quasi-Two- Dimensional Ferromagnet with Unidirectional Anisotropy

May 15, 2013
Author(s)
V S. Gornakov, Valerian I. Nikitenko, I. V. Shashkov, M. A. Lebyodkin, Robert D. Shull
The effect of dislocations on the elementary acts of the magnetization reversal in the epitaxial heterostructure NiFe/NiO/MgO(001) has been studied using the magneto-optical indicator film technique. It has been found that the edge dislocations grouped

Nanoparticles in Flame-Retardant Coatings for Flexible Polyurethane Foams: Effects on Flammability and Nanoparticle Release

May 15, 2013
Author(s)
Mauro Zammarano, Rick D. Davis, Yeon S. Kim, Richard H. Harris Jr., Marc R. Nyden, Jeffrey W. Gilman, Nasir M. Uddin
Nanoparticles can effectively reduce polymer flammability; however, the impact of nanoparticles on environmental and health safety is still unclear. The purpose of this study is twofold: (1) to develop and investigate the effect of nanoparticle-rich

Operation of gamma-ray microcalorimeters at elevated count rates using filters with constraints

May 15, 2013
Author(s)
Bradley K. Alpert, Robert D. Horansky, Douglas A. Bennett, William B. Doriese, Joseph W. Fowler, Andrew Hoover, Michael W. Rabin, Joel N. Ullom
We introduce a filter construction method for pulse processing that differs in two respects from that in standard optimal filtering, in which the average pulse shape and noise power spectral density are combined to create a convolution filter for

Surface Chemical Transformations of UV irradiated Silica-Epoxy Nanocomposites

May 15, 2013
Author(s)
Justin M. Gorham, Tinh Nguyen, Deborah S. Jacobs, Coralie Bernard, Richard D. Holbrook
Silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) incorporated into a polymeric matrix, or silica nanocomposites (SiNCs), are used in a wide variety of commercially available products in numerous natural and artificial environments. Environmental factors, such as light, may

Applications of Profile Filtering in the Dimensional Metrology of Fuel Cell Plates

May 14, 2013
Author(s)
Balasubramanian Muralikrishnan, Wei Ren, Eric S. Stanfield, Dennis S. Everett, Xiaoyu A. Zheng, Theodore D. Doiron
We describe the application of several surface profile filters as an enabling tool in the dimensional measurements of an engineering artifact, namely, a fuel cell plate. We recently reported work on the development of a non-contact system for dimensional

Impact of Test and Foam Design on Smoldering

May 14, 2013
Author(s)
Mauro Zammarano, Szabolcs Matko, Rick D. Davis
Smoldering propensity of fabrics used in upholstered furniture can be assessed using foam mockups according to the CPSC proposed regulation. This approach requires a polyurethane flexible foam with reproducible and well- characterized smoldering. The

Photonic microwave generation with high-power photodiodes

May 14, 2013
Author(s)
Tara M. Fortier, Franklyn J. Quinlan, Archita Hati, Craig W. Nelson, Jennifer A. Taylor, Yang Fu, Joe Campbell, Scott A. Diddams
We utilize and characterize high-power, high-linearity modified uni-traveling carrier (MUTC) photodiodes for low-phase-noise photonic microwave generation based on optical frequency division. When illuminated with 980 nm picosecond pulses from a repetition
