Basic Mass Metrology (Spanish Language)

September 22, 2003
Author(s)
Georgia L. Harris
Basic Mass Metrology CD-ROM training course (Spanish language). Course is designed to run after the CD is inserted in a Windows-based computer.

User-Centered Evaluations of Ubicomp Applications

March 12, 2002
Author(s)
Jean C. Scholtz, L Arnstein, M Kim, T Kindberg, Sunny Consolvo
… This paper describes some properties of ubiquitous computing applications that warrant user-centered evaluation …

The Nanostructure Problem

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
Simon J. Billinge, Igor Levin
The powerful methods we have for solving the atomic structure of bulk crystals fail for nanostructured materials and there are currently no broadly applicable, quantitative and robust methods to replace them. The solution of this nanostructure problem is

Report on Lightweight Cryptography

March 28, 2017
Author(s)
Kerry McKay, Lawrence E. Bassham, Meltem Sonmez Turan, Nicky Mouha
… recent years, there has been increased deployment of small computing devices that have limited resources with which to …

Polymer Glass-Formation in Variable Dimension

January 14, 2016
Author(s)
Jack F. Douglas, Freed Karl, Wensheng Xu
We explore the nature of glass-formation in variable spatial dimensionality (d) based on the generalized entropy theory, a synthesis of the Adam-Gibbs model with direct computation of the configurational entropy of polymer fluids using an established

Nanotechnology in Integrative Systems: Introduction to Integrative Systems

August 17, 2004
Author(s)
Michael Gaitan
These days it's hard to imagine life without the benefits of integration, computers, and the internet. Even simple tasks such as shopping for food have gone 'high tech' with computerized checkout, laser scanners, digital scales, and electronic transactions

Human Identification from Body Shape

October 1, 2003
Author(s)
Afzal A. Godil, Patrick J. Grother, Sanford P. Ressler
In this paper, we investigate the utility of static anthropometric distances as a biometric for human identification. The 3D landmark data from the CAESAR database is used to form a simple biometric consisting of distances between fixed rigidly connected

The NIST Human ID Evaluation Framework

April 1, 2003
Author(s)
Ross J. Micheals, Patrick J. Grother, P J. Phillips
In this paper, we investigate the utility of static anthropometric distances as a biometric for human identification. The 3D landmark data from the CAESAR database is used to form a simple biometric consisting of distances between fixed rigidly connected

Issues in Evaluating Face Recognition Algorithms

June 22, 1998
Author(s)
P J. Phillips, R. McCabe, R Chellappa
Biometric-based identification and verification systems are poised to become a key technology, with applications including controlling access to buildings and computers, reducing fraudulent transactions in electronic commerce, and discouraging illegal

Ab Initio Calculations and Kinetic Modeling of Halon and Halon Replacements

May 7, 1996
Author(s)
H. L. Paige, R J. Berry, M Schwartz, P Marshall, D R. Burgess, Marc R. Nyden
The mode of action of the chemical-acting flame suppression agents such as the halons is generally, though not universally, accepted. The details of the several reactions involved in chemical suppression have been studied by many groups using experimental

Dimensional Inspection Planning Based on Product Data Standards

July 1, 1994
Author(s)
Shaw C. Feng
This paper describes an activity model for dimensional inspection planning that bridges the gap between product design and the dimensional measurement of manufactured products. Functionally, this model specifies requirements for developing a part of a

NIST Diffraction Program for Diffraction Corrections in Radiometry

October 16, 2008
Author(s)
Eric L. Shirley, Raju V. Datla
This package contains the documentation for a program that computes diffraction corrections for simple radiometric applications. A diskette containing the program executable and files for sample calculations is also included.

Multivariable Extrapolation of Grand Canonical Free Energy Landscapes

December 21, 2017
Author(s)
Nathan Mahynski, Jeffrey R. Errington, Vincent K. Shen
We derive an approach for extrapolating the free energy landscape of multicomponent systems in the grand canonical ensemble, obtained from flat- histogram Monte Carlo simulations, from one set of temperature and chemical potentials to another. This is

Multidimensional Instrumentation Applied to Studies of Electrodeposition

February 9, 2007
Author(s)
Brian J. Polk, Felix Duvallet
Students of the experimental sciences have a need to learn how to interface multiple instruments to computers for the purpose of building effective data acquisition systems. For example, a requirement for better process control of electroplating demanded

Search Graph Formation for Minimizing the Complexity of Planning

August 1, 2000
Author(s)
Alberto Lacaze, Stephen B. Balakirsky
A large number of path planning problems are solved by the use of graph based search algorithms. There are a variety of techniques available to optimize the search within these graphs as well as thorough studies of thecomplexity involved in searching
