The NIST DMIS Interpreter: Version 2

October 1, 1998
Author(s)
Thomas R. Kramer, Frederick M. Proctor, William G. Rippey, Harry A. Scott
This report describes an interpreter which reads a file of numerical control code for a coordinate measuring machine (CMM), produces calls to a set of canonical CMM functions, and writes inspection report files. The interpreter is a software system written

A Parametric Representation of Fuzzy Numbers and Their Arithmetic Operators

September 1, 1997
Author(s)
Ronald Giachetti
Direct implementation of extended arithmetic operators on fuzzy numbers is computationally complex. Implementation of the extension principle is equivalent to solving a nonlinear programming problem. To overcome this difficulty many applications limit the

Effect of Sample Size on the Heat Release Rate of Charring Materials

March 3, 1997
Author(s)
S J. Ritchie, Kenneth D. Steckler, Anthony P. Hamins, Thomas G. Cleary, Jiann C. Yang, Takashi Kashiwagi
The burning of a horizontal wood slab situated atop an insulating substrate was modeled using three coupled submodels for the gas-phase, wood, and substrate processes. A global analytical model was used to determine the radiative and convective heat

Radiometric Model of the Transmission Cell-Reciprocal Nephelometer

January 1, 1994
Author(s)
George W. Mulholland, Nelson P. Bryner
A radiometric model has been developed to assess the effects of angular truncation, finite size of the detector, and angle response characteristics of the cosine sensor on the measurement of the total scattering coefficient by a transmission cell

Calculations of Electron Inelastic Mean Free Paths (IMFPs) IV. Evaluation of Calculated IMFPs and of the Predictive IMFP Formula Tpp-2 for Electron Energies between 50 and 2000 eV

January 1, 1993
Author(s)
Shigeo Tanuma, Cedric J. Powell, David R. Penn
We have made additional evaluations of the electron inelastic mean free paths (IMFPs) and of the predictive IMFP formula TPP-2 presented in papers II and III of this series. Comparisons have been made with other formulae for the IMFPs and electron

Fire Performance of Interstitial Space Construction Systems.

May 1, 1985
Author(s)
James R. Lawson
Two unique walk-on deck construction systems were exposed to the standard NFPA 251 time-temperature fire exposure for periods up to two hours in order to evaluate their fire performance. A large scale steel structure was used in the test program to

Cost-Conscious Guide to Fire Safety in Health Care Facilities.

November 1, 1982
Author(s)
Robert E. Chapman
This study focuses upon the use of the Fire Safety Evaluation System developed by the Center for Fire Research at the National Bureau of Standards for determining equivalence to the Life Safety Code for health care facilities. The Life Safety Code, a

The Virtual Manufacturing Cell

October 1, 1982
Author(s)
Charles R. McLean, Howard Bloom, Ted Hopp
A virtual manufacturing cell is being developed at the National Bureau of Standards as part of the control software for the Automated Manufacturing Research Facility (AMRF) project. The traditional group technology (GT) cell has evolved from the need to

Comparison of Direct and Indirect Measures of Transport Efficiency in Single Particle ICP-MS

December 16, 2023
Author(s)
Karen Murphy, Antonio Montoro Bustos, Lee L. Yu, Monique Johnson, Michael R. Winchester
Accurate calibration of the fraction of introduced sample that is transported to the plasma, termed "transport efficiency" (TE), is required for spICP-MS measurement of particle number concentration (PNC) and for measurement of particle size (diameter, PS)

ROTDIF-web and ALTENS: GenApp-based Science Gateways for Biomolecular Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Data Analysis and Structure Modeling

September 23, 2019
Author(s)
Yuexi Chen, Cheol Jeong, Alexey Savelyev, Susan T. Krueger, Joseph E. Curtis, Emre H. Brookes, David Fushman
Proteins and nucleic acids participate in essentially every biochemical process in living organisms, and the elucidation of their structure and motions is essential for our understanding how these molecular machines perform their function. Nuclear Magnetic

The TriTon Transformation

August 27, 2012
Author(s)
Daniel C. Smith-Tone
Many new systems have been proposed which hide an easily invertible multivariate quadratic map in a larger structure by adding more variables and introducing some mixing of a random component to the structured system. While many systems which have been

Architecture and Implementation of a Design Repository System

September 1, 2002
Author(s)
Simon Szykman
This paper describes the design and development of a design repository software system. This system is a prototype implementation intended to demonstrate the role of design repositories as part of a vision for the next generation of product development
