Emissivity Modeling of Thermal Radiation Sources With Concentric Grooves

July 1, 2004
Author(s)
A Prokhorov, Sergey Mekhontsev, Leonard Hanssen
Monte Carlo based specialized software has been applied to the statistical modeling of effective emissivity of radiators with concentric grooves of trapezoidal and triangular profile. A specular-diffuse model is used in which the thermal emission from the

Tuning Spectral Properties of Fullerenes by Substitutional Doping

May 1, 2004
Author(s)
Rui-Hua Xie, Garnett W. Bryant, G Sun, T Kar, Z Chen, V H. Smith, Y Araki, N Tagmatarchis, H Shinohara, O Ito
We propose a substitutional doping approach to achieve tunable optical properties from fullerenes. Taking Cd60 as an example and using time-dependent density functional theory, we compute the absorption spectra of heterofullerenes Cd60-dn-dm-NdnBdm, and

Cable-Based Metrology System for Sculpting Assistance

September 1, 2003
Author(s)
R L. Williams, James S. Albus, Roger V. Bostelman
ABSTRACT A novel cable-based metrology system is presented wherein six cables are connected in parallel from ground-mounted string pots to the moving object of interest. Cartesian pose can be determined for feedback control and other purposes by reading

Monte Carlo Simulation of Noise Parameter Uncertainties

November 1, 2002
Author(s)
James P. Randa, Wojciech Wiatr
We present results for uncertainties in noise-parameter measurements, obtained using a Monte Carlo simulation of the measurements. Sets of data were generated to simulate measurements on a low-noise amplifier, with given uncertainties in the underlying

Mitigating Autogeneous Shrinkage by Internal Curing

October 1, 2002
Author(s)
M R. Geiker, O M. Jensen
The use of internal curing is seen to be a highly effective means of mitigating autogenous shrinkage in cement mortars (w/s = 0.35, 8 % silica fume). Two different sources of internal water supply are compared: 1) replacement of a portion of the sand by

Testing STEP-NC Implementations

October 1, 2002
Author(s)
Allison Barnard Feeney, Simon P. Frechette
STEP (STandard for the Exchange of Product model data, ISO 10303) data for numerical control, or STEP-NC, is intended to provide full product and process data interoperability between computer-aided manufacturing systems and machine tool controllers

Spin-Other-Orbit Interaction and Magnetocrystalline Anisotropy

August 23, 2001
Author(s)
Mark D. Stiles, S Halilov, R Hyman, A Zangwill
We report the effect of the two-body, spin-other-orbit interaction on the magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy of the 3d transition metals. The relevant energy differences were computed for bcc Fe, fcc Ni, and hcp Co using the linearized augmented plane

Elastic Moduli of Model Random Three-Dimensional Closed-Cell Cellular Solids

January 1, 2001
Author(s)
A P. Roberts, Edward Garboczi
Most cellular solids are random materials, while practically all theoretical results are for periodic models. To be able to generate theoretical results for random models, the finite element method (FEM) was used to study the elastic properties of solids

Establishment of a Virtual / Physical Standard for Bullet Signature Measurements

January 1, 2001
Author(s)
Jun-Feng Song, Theodore V. Vorburger, M Ols
The National Integrated Ballistics Information Network (NIBIN) is currently under development by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and

Noise-Induced Leakage and Counting Errors in the Electron Pump

December 15, 2000
Author(s)
Richard L. Kautz, Mark W. Keller, John M. Martinis
Computer simulations reveal that the lowest rates of leakage and counting errors observed in the electron pump can be explained by photon-assisted tunneling driven by 1/f noise. The noise power at microwave frequencies required to account for the observed

Inhibitor Rankings for Alkane Combustion

December 1, 2000
Author(s)
Valeri I. Babushok, Wing Tsang
The effect of hydrocarbon fuel type on the ranking of inhibitor effectiveness has been investigated through computer simulations. The approach involves carrying out sensitivity analysis on the detailed kinetics of the combustion of C 1-C 4 hydrocarbons. It

Optimization of an Annular Jet Commercial Gas-Metal Atomizer

December 1, 2000
Author(s)
Stephen D. Ridder, Aaron N. Johnson, Pedro I. Espina, Frank S. Biancaniello, G J. DelCorso
The performance of a commercial gas-metal atomizer was studied using a number of previously published research techniques. initially the flow was visualized using schlieren photography to determine the location of important flow features (e.g., shock waves

Fair Selection of Jury Panels From Jury Pools

October 1, 2000
Author(s)
J L. Blue
A standard problem of courts at all levels is the selection of a panel of potential jurors from a jury pool, which is a list of people who are eligible to serve as jurors. The problem is to select N people out of the M possible people in a fair way. One

On the Diffraction Limit for Lensless Imaging

November 17, 1999
Author(s)
Klaus Mielenz
The diffraction limit for lensless imaging, defined as the smallest obtainable point image, is analyzed and compared to the corresponding limit for imaging with lenses by means of theoretical considerations and numerical computations using the Fresnel

Towards a Measurement Technique for Risk Management

October 20, 1999
Author(s)
D G. Marks
The field of computer security is impeded by a lack of objective, quantitative measures. As a result, most systems, whether theoretical or actual, attempt to avoid, rather than manage, risk. Risk management requires looking at the complete protect, detect

Configurational Temperature: Verification of Monte Carlo Simulations

October 1, 1998
Author(s)
B D. Butler, G Ayton, O G. Jepps, D J. Evans
A diagnostic that is useful for checking the algorithmic correctness of Monte Carlo computer programs is presented. The check is made by comparing the Boltzmann temperature input to the program and used to accept or reject moves, with the configurational
