Load Combination Requirements in ASCE Standard 7-10: New Developments

April 14, 2011
Author(s)
Therese P. McAllister, Bruce Ellingwood
The fundamental load combination requirements for strength design (or load and resistance factor design) appearing in Section 2.3 of ASCE Standard 7-10 advance those first developed and implemented in 1982, which since have achieved a state of maturity and

Precise Throughput Determination of the PanSTARRS Telescope and the Gigapixel Imager using a Calibrated Silicon Photodiode and a Tunable Laser: Initial Results

December 2, 2010
Author(s)
Christopher W. Stubbs, Peter Doherty, Claire Cramer, Gautham Narayan, Yorke Brown, Ned Henry, Keith R. Lykke, John T. Woodward IV, John L. Tinry
We have used a precision calibrated photodiode as the fundamental metrology reference in order to determine the relative throughput of the PanSTARRS telescope and the Gigapixel imager, from 400 nm to 1050 nm. Our technique uses a tunable laser as a source

Computational Analysis of Dynamic SPK(S8)-JP8 Fueled Combustor-Sector Performance

April 9, 2010
Author(s)
R. Ryder, Robert C. Hendricks, Marcia L. Huber, D. T. Shouse
Civil and military flight tests using blends of synthetic and biomass fueling with jet fuel up to 50:50 are currently considered as drop in fuels. They are fully compatible with aircraft performance, emissions and fueling systems, yet the design and

Adhesion and Mechanics of Complex Polymer Interfaces

August 16, 2009
Author(s)
Christopher M. Stafford, Jun Y. Chung, Heqing Huang, Adam J. Nolte, Peter M. Johnson, Edwin P. Chan
The structure and properties of polymer interfaces play an integral role in numerous technological applications, particularly in the areas of coatings and adhesives. These interfacial interactions are dependent on a host of factors, including interfacial

Measuring 6LI(N,T) and 10B(N,A) Cross Sections Using the NIST Alpha-Gamma Device

April 15, 2009
Author(s)
Maynard S. Dewey, David M. Gilliam, Jeffrey S. Nico, G.L. Green, A. Laptev, A. Yue
The 6LI(N,T) and 10B(N,A) cross sections are important neutron cross section standards. Precise knowledge of these cross sections is essential because they are often used as reference standards for obtaining the neutron fluence in investigations of the

Deformation of Metals

October 16, 2008
Author(s)
R M. Thomson, Lyle E. Levine, Y Shim
Plastic deformation of a metal is possible because of the production and motion of large numbers of dislocations. Dislocations are one dimensional flexible spaghetti-like defects that interact with one another with both long range (1/r) and short range

A New Microdevice for SI-Traceable Forces in Atomic Force Microscopy

June 2, 2008
Author(s)
Gregory W. Vogl, Jason J. Gorman, Gordon A. Shaw, Jon R. Pratt
A new self-excited micro-oscillator is proposed as a velocity standard for dissemination of nanoNewton-level forces that are traceable to the International System of Units (SI). The microfabricated oscillator is top-coated with magnetic thin films and

Characterization of the Latent Image to Developed Image in Model EUV Photoresists

February 22, 2008
Author(s)
John T. Woodward IV, Kwang-Woo Choi, Vivek Prabhu, Shuhui Kang, Kristopher Lavery, Wen-Li Wu, Michael Leeson, Anuja De Silva, Nelson Felix, Christopher K. Ober
Current extreme ultraviolet (EUV) photoresist materials do not yet meet exposure-dose sensitivity, line-width roughness, and resolution requirements. In order to quantify how trade-offs are related to the materials properties of the resist and processing

STANDARDS DEVELOPMENT FOR REMOTE SENSING AT MICROWAVE AND TERAHERTZ FREQUENCIES

September 7, 2007
Author(s)
James P. Randa, Eyal Gerecht, Dave K. Walker, Amanda Cox, Dazhen Gu, Lixing You, Robert L. Billinger
The Noise Project in the Electromagnetics Division of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has proposed the development of standards for microwave brightness temperature, for use in remote-sensing applications such as satellite-based

Precision Measurements using a 300 mV Josephson Arbitrary Waveform Synthesizer

June 4, 2007
Author(s)
Samuel P. Benz, Paul D. Dresselhaus, Charles J. Burroughs, Norman F. Bergren
We have developed a Josephson Digital-to-Analog Converter, otherwise know as a Josephson Arbitrary Waveform Synthesizer, with 300 mV peak output voltage. This is the first system of its kind with demonstrated quantum accuracy. We will show precision

Metrics to Estimate Image Quality in Compressed Video Sequences

April 30, 2007
Author(s)
G O'Brien, S Israel, J Irvine, Charles D. Fenimore, John W. Roberts, Michelle Brennan, D Cannon, J Miller
A fundamental problem in image processing is to find objective metrics that parallel human perception of image quality. In this study, several metrics were examined to quantify compression algorithms in terms of perceived loss in image quality. In addition

Correlation of the Reaction Front With Roughness in Chemically Amplified Photoresists

July 1, 2004
Author(s)
Ronald L. Jones, Vivek M. Prabhu, D M. Goldfarb, Eric K. Lin, Christopher L. Soles, Joseph~undefined~undefined~undefined~undefined~undefined Lenhart, Wen-Li Wu, M Angelopoulos
A model bilayer geometry is used to examine fundamental contributions of in-situ reaction front profile width on resulting line edge roughness after development in standard 0.26 N tetramethyl ammonium hydroxide aqueous base developer. The bilayer geometry

Phenomenological Theory of Current-Induced Magnetization Precession

February 13, 2004
Author(s)
Mark D. Stiles, J Xiao, A Zangwill
We solve appropriate drift-diffusion and Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equations to demonstrate that unpolarized current flow from a non-magnet into a ferromagnet can produce a precession-type instability of the magnetization. The fundamental origin of the

EMI Characterization with Parasitic Modeling for a Permanent Magnet Motor Drive

October 12, 2003
Author(s)
Xudong Huang, Pepa Elton, Jih-Sheng Lai, Allen R. Hefner Jr., David W. Berning, Shaotang Chen, Thomas Nehl
In this paper , a permanent magnet ac motor drive is tested extensively, and the prominent frequencies are identified for their relationship with the noise sources and their propagation paths. Switching characteristics of the power MOSFETs are evaluated
