Experimental Study of the Three Dimensional Internal Structure of Underventilated Compartment Fires in an ISO 9705 Room.

February 8, 2012
Author(s)
Kelly M. Opert, Andrew J. Lock, Matthew F. Bundy, Erik L. Johnsson, Cheolhong Hwang, Anthony P. Hamins, Stephen P. Fuss, Ki-Yong Lee
This report documents a set of 9 full scale ISO 9705 room under-ventilated compartment fire experiments for the purpose of guiding the development of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) computer fire model - Fire Dynamics Simulator

Solidification of a heterogeneous Multiphase Laves-based Hydrogen Storage Alloy

August 15, 2010
Author(s)
William J. Boettinger, Dale E. Newbury, Ke Wang, Leonid A. Bendersky, Chun Chiu, Ursula R. Kattner, K. Young, B. Chao
The solidification microstructure of a nine-element Zr-Ni based AB(sub 2) type C14/C15 Laves hydrogen storage alloy is determined. The selected composition represents a class of alloys being examined for usage as a metal hydride electrode in nickel metal

An Other-Race Effect for Face Recognition Algorithms

May 13, 2010
Author(s)
P J. Phillips, Alice J. O'Toole, Abhijit Narvekar, Fang Jiang, Julianne Ayadd
Psychology research has shown that human face recognition is more accurate for faces of one�s own race than for faces of other races. In recent years, interest in accurate computer-based face recognition systems has spurred the development of these systems

A Numerical Study of the Flow of Bingham-Like Fluids In Two Dimensional Vane And Cylinder Rheometers Using a Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamic (SPH) Based Method

April 7, 2010
Author(s)
Huaning Zhu, Nicos Martys, Chiara C. Ferraris, Daniel De Kee
A vane rheometer is commonly used to determine the rheological properties of suspensions, colloids such as cement-based materials, many of which can be described as a Bingham fluid. Due to the complex flow geometry of the vane rheometer, relating measured

PicoWatt Infrared Power Measurement using an Absolute Cryogenic Radiometer

May 7, 2009
Author(s)
Stephen Carr, Solomon I. Woods, Timothy M. Jung, Adriaan C. Carter, Raju V. Datla
We report on initial measurements of the low-temperature thermal properties of a device that is similar to the experimental apparatus used for absolute cryogenic radiometry (ACR) within the Low Background Infrared Radiometry (LBIR) facility at NIST. The

Final Report on the Collapse of World Trade Center Building 7, Federal Building and Fire Safety Investigation of the World Trade Center Disaster (NIST NCSTAR 1A)

November 20, 2008
Author(s)
Sivaraj Shyam-Sunder, Richard G. Gann, William L. Grosshandler, Hai S. Lew, Richard W. Bukowski, Fahim Sadek, Frank W. Gayle, John L. Gross, Therese P. McAllister, Jason D. Averill, James R. Lawson, Harold E. Nelson, Stephen A. Cauffman
This report describes how the fires that followed the impact of debris from the collapse of WTC 1 (the north tower) led to the collapse of WTC 7; an evaluation of the building evacuation and emergency response procedures; what procedures and practices were

The third industrial fluid properties simulation challenge

September 7, 2007
Author(s)
F Case, John K. Brennan, Anne M. Chaka, Kerwin Dobbs, Daniel G. Friend, David Frurip, Peter A. Gordon, J Moore, Raymond D. Mountain, J Olson, Richard B. Ross, Martin Schiller, Vincent K. Shen
The third Industrial fluid properties simulation challenge was held from March to September 2006. As in the previous two events, contestants were challenged to predict specific, industrially relevant, properties of fluid systems. Their efforts were judged

Direct Electrostatic Calibration of Hybrid Sensors for Small Force Measurement

June 4, 2007
Author(s)
Koo-Hyun Chung, Gordon A. Shaw, Jon R. Pratt
The measurement of forces from piconewtons to millinewtons is an area of interest from both an applied and pure research standpoint, however creating a link between small forces and the International System of Units (SI) has been difficult. In this work, a

Spotlighting NIST Standard Reference Materials - New Standard Reference Material (SRM) 2585 Organic Contaminants in House Dust to Support Exposure Assessment Measurements

June 1, 2007
Author(s)
Michele M. Schantz, Jennifer M. Lynch, John R. Kucklick, Dianne L. Poster, H M. Stapleton, S S. Vander Pol, Stephen A. Wise
House dust originates from both internal and external sources and has been identified as one of the primary sources of lead exposure for children (http://www.epa.gov/lead). House dust is also a repository for pesticides, flame retardants, and other

Uniaxial Crushing of Cellular Sandwich Plates Under Air Blast

April 3, 2007
Author(s)
Joseph A. Main, George A. Gazonas
Sandwich plates with cellular metal cores are being widely considered for blast mitigation applications, due largely to the energy absorption capacity of the cellular core material. Computational simulations have shown that sandwich plates exhibit reduced

Industry USability Reporting

October 1, 2005
Author(s)
Sharon J. Laskowski
This paper demonstrates that, for large-scale tests, the match and non-match similarity scores have no specific underlying distribution function. The forms of these distribution functions require a nonparametric approach for the analysis of the fingerprint
