Guide to General Server Security

July 25, 2008
Author(s)
Karen A. Scarfone, Wayne Jansen, Miles C. Tracy
The purpose of this document is to assist organizations in understanding the fundamental activities performed as part of securing and maintaining the security of servers that provide services over network communications as a main function. The document

Third-Order Intermodulation Distortion due to Self-heating in Gold Coplanar Waveguides

May 23, 2010
Author(s)
Eduard Rocas, Juan C. Collado Gomez, Nathan D. Orloff, James C. Booth
We present measurements and modeling of a self-heating mechanism responsible for third order intermodulation distortion in coplanar waveguide transmission lines. Temperature fluctuations, at the envelope frequency of the input signal, induce dynamic

Compensation of Random and Systematic Timing Errors in Sampling Oscilloscopes

December 1, 2006
Author(s)
Paul D. Hale, C. M. Wang, Dylan Williams, Kate Remley, Joshua Wepman
In this paper, a method of correcting both random and systematic timebase errors using measurements of only two quadrature sinusoids made simultaneously with a waveform of interest is described. The authors estimate the fundamental limits to the procedure

The Analysis, Synthesis, and Description of Biological Images

January 1, 1966
Author(s)
Russell A. Kirsch, L Lipkin, W Watt
We will begin by asking if the prevailing notion of what computer systems can achieve in biological image-processing may not be overly modest. This question seems to us fundamental, for such an underestimate might produce not only a limitation of

Use of Legendre Transforms in Chemical Thermodynamics

November 1, 2001
Author(s)
R Alberty, J M. Barthel, E R. Cohen, Michael B. Ewing, Robert N. Goldberg, E Wilhelm
The fundamental equation of thermodynamics for the internal energy U may include terms for various types of work and involves only differentials of extensive variables. The fundamental equation for U yields intensive variables as partial derivatives of the

The Design and Development of a Tabletop Kibble Balance at NIST

March 20, 2019
Author(s)
Leon S. Chao, Frank C. Seifert, Darine El Haddad, Stephan Schlamminger
A global paradigm shift to redefine the International System of Units (SI) from a system based on seven fundamental units to seven fundamental constants is well under way. More specifically, the unit of mass, the kilogram, will be realized via a fixed

Measurements of the Newtonian Constant of Gravitation, G

November 30, 2017
Author(s)
Christian Rothleitner, Stephan Schlamminger
The Newtonian Constant of Gravitation G seems to be the fundamental constant that is most difficult to measure accurately. In the past three decades more than a dozen precision measurements were performed. Unfortunately the scatter of the data points is

Measurement and Modeling Needs for Next-Generation Concrete Binders

July 1, 2017
Author(s)
Jeffrey W. Bullard, Edward J. Garboczi, Paul E. Stutzman, Pan Feng, Alexander S. Brand, John G. Hagedorn, Wesley N. Griffin, Judith E. Terrill
Cementitious binders have become increasingly complex in their variety, mineralogical and chemical compositions, and structure over the past several decades, and there is no sign that the trend will stop or reverse in the future. Strategies for handling

Thermodynamic Properties of Air at Pressures to 2000 MPa

August 1, 1998
Author(s)
William M. Haynes, Eric W. Lemmon, Daniel G. Friend, R Jacobsen
A new formulation for the thermodynamic properties of standard dry air at pressures to 2000 MPa has been developed. This formulation, which can be used at temperatures from the freezing liquid line to 2000 K, is based on comprehensive experimental

Anti-Drain Requirements for Retail Motor-fuel Dispensers

April 26, 2012
Author(s)
Marc A. Buttler
Two of the most fundamental components that can be found in any liquid fuel dispenser are the measuring device and the hose that transports the metered product to the consumers vehicle. The fuel that fills the volume of space in between the measuring

Information: A Key to Supply Chain Performance

December 1, 2002
Author(s)
Albert W. Jones, Larry H. Reeker, A S. Deshmukh
This paper makes serveral critical points related to the intrinsic nature of the relationship between information and performance in supply chains. It highlights the co-dependence of information and supply-chain management decisions, stresses the impact of

Using a High-Value Resistor in Single-Electron Counting Measurements

June 1, 2002
Author(s)
Randolph Elmquist, Neil M. Zimmerman, William Huber
An experiment using a high-value cryogenic resistor is proposed, with the aim of improving the experimental link between three quantum electrical standards. This technique is new in its approach and does not require feedback from either a voltage detector

Autonomous cementitious materials formulation for critical infrastructure repair

January 17, 2024
Author(s)
Howard Joress, Rachel Cook, Austin McDannald, Mark Kozdras, Jason hattrick-simpers, Aron Newman, Scott Jones
Despite the long history of cement and concrete, there are still large gaps in fundamental knowledge of their properties development. The dire need for improved cementitious repair materials, requires a revolution in the way they are formulated and tested

Quantum information processing and multiplexing with trapped ions

January 1, 2003
Author(s)
David J. Wineland, Dietrich G. Leibfried, B. L. DeMarco, V Meyer, M A. Rowe, A Ben kish, Murray D. Barrett, Joseph W. Britton, J Hughes, Wayne M. Itano, Branislav M. Jelenkovic, Christopher Langer, D Lucas, Till P. Rosenband
We report experiments on coherent quantum-state synthesis and control of trapped atomic ions. This work has the overall goal of performing large-scale quantum information processing; however, such techniques can also be applied to fundamental tests and

Fan Zhang, Andrew J. Allen, Lyle E. Levine, Gabrielle G. Long, Ivan Kuzmenko, Jan Ilavsky
We report a harmonic rejection scheme based on the combination of Si (111) monochromator and Si (220) harmonic-rejection crystal optics. This approach is of importance to a wide range of X- ray applications in all three major branches of modern X-ray
