This paper discusses system security policies. System policies are the set of rules that when implemented afford a strategy for the protection of information. The policy objectives are diverse and span the social-economic spectrum. System policies govern
In this paper, an energy-efficient strategy is proposed for tracking a moving target in a mobile sensor network. The energy expenditure of the sensors in the network is assumed to be due to communication, sensing and movement. First, the target area is
This report summarizes the work of the Complex Systems Program within NIST s Information Technology Laboratory. The Overview presents some background material and a high-level overview of the Program s activities including significant technical
We report a simple strategy to control the pressure-driven flow rates from fluid reservoirs to a microchip in an efficient and compact fashion. We demonstrate that using a floating reservoir, less than 1 percent change in flow rate per ml of delivered

Advancement in MEMS-based sensors brings a new challenge for system-on-a-chip (SoC) design integration where analog and digital circuits coexist on a common substrate with the actual sensing platform. Integration of these MEMS-based sensors into an SoC

A strategy successfully used by manufacturing companies is to develop product families so as to offer a variety of products with reduced development costs. This paper introduces our initial research on the representation of the evolution of product
An evaporative cooling strategy that uses a two-component Fermi gas was employed to cool a magnetically trapped gas of 7 x 10 5 40K atoms to 0.5 of the Fermi temperature T f. In this temperature regime, where the state occupation at the lowest energies has
Chemical hydrogen storage in organic materials is a promising method thanks to its high storage density, reversibility, and safety. However, the dehydrogenation process of organic materials requires high temperatures due to their unfavorable thermodynamic

We develop a multiscale coarse-grain model of the NIST Monoclonal Antibody Reference Material 8671 (NISTmAb) to enable systematic computational investigations of high-concentration physical instabilities such as phase separation, clustering, and

We present a novel transmon qubit fabrication technique that yields systematic improvements in T1 coherence times. In this study, the devices are fabricated using a novel encapsulation strategy that involves passivating the surface of niobium and thereby
