Fire Tests of Single Office Workstations. Federal Building and Fire Safety Investigation of the World Trade Center Disaster (NIST NCSTAR 1-5C) ***DRAFT for Public Comments***

September 1, 2005
Author(s)
Thomas J. Ohlemiller, George W. Mulholland, Skandakumar H. Abeyesekere, James J. Filliben, Richard G. Gann
Reconstruction of the fires that occurred in the World Trade Center (WTC) 1, 2, and 7 on September 11. 2001, relied heavily on computer simulations because examination of the post-fire premises was not possible and the information from eyewitness accounts

Detecting ion pairing in sodium halide solutions with dielectric spectroscopy

July 1, 2025
Author(s)
Michael Woodcox, Sarah Evans, Rebecca Bone, Spencer Mattes, Avik Mahata, Aaron Hagerstrom, Chris Muzny, Ravishankar Sundararaman, Kathleen Schwarz, Angela Stelson
The dielectric response of an ionic solution is determined by the diffusion of ions in solution, the response of solvent molecules and the intermolecular interactions between solvent, cations and anions. While the ionic diffusion and solvent responses are

Threshold Schemes for Cryptographic Primitives

March 1, 2019
Author(s)
Luis T. A. N. Brandao, Nicky W. Mouha, Apostol T. Vassilev
The Computer Security Division at the National Institute of Standards and Technology is interested in promoting the security of implementations of cryptographic primitives. This security depends not only on the theoretical properties of the primitives but

Issues in Numerical Simulation of Fire Suppression

April 27, 1999
Author(s)
S R. Tieszen, Amelia R. Lopez
This paper outlines general physical and computational issues associated with performing numerical simulation of fire suppression. Fire suppression encompasses a broad range of chemistry and physics over a lxge range of time and length scales. The authors

Energy Balance in a Large Compartment Fire

April 1, 2008
Author(s)
Anthony P. Hamins, Erik L. Johnsson, Alexander Maranghides
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) are collaborating to assess and validate fire computer codes for nuclear power plant applications. This evaluation is being conducted through a series of

Numerical Simulation of Sprinkler Performance

February 24, 1999
Author(s)
Kevin B. McGrattan, Glenn P. Forney
Rapidly, changing building designs, uses, materials, contents, fire protection and the general intermix of industrial/commercial and residential occupancies has created a need to understand the potential hazards and losses from fires and performance of

Carbon Weight Analysis for Machining Operation and Allocation for Redesign

December 16, 2009
Author(s)
Gaurav Ameta, Mahesh Mani, Sudarsan Rachuri, Kevin W. Lyons, Shaw C. Feng, Ram D. Sriram
… research is to explore and develop a new methodology for computing carbon weight (CW) - often referred to as carbon … operations, specifically turning and milling, for computing the CW. Our initial study demonstrates that CW can … Mechanical tolerancing principles are applied for computing worst case and statistical case CW of a product. We …

First-Order Raman Spectra of AB' 1/2 B'' 1/2 O 3 Double Perovskites

June 1, 2005
Author(s)
S A. Prosandeev, U Waghmare, Igor Levin, James E. Maslar
First principles computations of Raman intensities were performed for perovskite-like compound CaAl1/2Nb1/2O3 (CAN). This compound features 1:1 (NaCl-type) ordering of Al and Nb superimposed onto the b-b-c+ octahedral tilting. Raman tensor for CAN was

Matrix Decompositions and Entanglement Dynamics

February 1, 2004
Author(s)
Stephen Bullock, G K. Brennen
Given a closed system of quantum data, quantum computations are mathematically modeled by exponentially large unitary matrices. A matrix decomposition is an algorithm for factoring matrices, and in this context such an algorithm splits a quantum

Applications of FASTLite.

June 20, 1996
Author(s)
Richard W. Bukowski
The use of computer supported fire safety engineering calculations has grown significantly in recent years. One of the early, favorite tools of the fire protection engineer was FIREFORM and later FPEtool, both of which were developed by Bud Nelson. Now
