Guidance for the Model User on Representing Human Behavior in Egress Models

May 24, 2016
Author(s)
Erica D. Kuligowski, Steve Gwynne, Michael Kinsey, Lynn Hulse
Structures are currently designed and constructed in accordance with prescriptive and performance-based (PBD) methodologies to ensure a certain level of safety. The performance-based approach requires the quantification of both ASET (Available Safe Egress

Annual Manufacturing Review

December 14, 2015
Author(s)
Douglas Thomas, Anand M. Kandaswamy
This report provides an overview of the US manufacturing industry. There are three aspects of U.S. manufacturing that are considered: (1) how the US industry compares to other countries, (2) the trends in the domestic industry, and (3) the industry trends

SIMULATION-BASED DESIGN CONCEPT EVALUATION FOR AMBULANCE PATIENT COMPARTMENTS

July 14, 2015
Author(s)
Deogratias Kibira, Yung-Tsun T. Lee, Jennifer L. Marshall, Allison Barnard Feeney, Larry Avery, Allie Jacobs
To address the inadequacy of existing standards regarding interior layout design, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the National Institute for

Application of the Hartmann-Tran profile to analysis of H2O spectra

June 9, 2015
Author(s)
D Lisak, A. Cygan, D Bermejo, J L. Domenech, Joseph T. Hodges, Ha Tran
The Hartmann-Tran profile (HTP), which has been recently recommended as a new standard in spectroscopic databases, is used to analyze spectra of several lines of H$_2$O diluted in N$_2$, SF$_6$, and in pure H$_2$O. This profile accounts for various

Product Data Sheet Ontology

December 18, 2014
Author(s)
Binyam G. Abeye, Edward J. Barkmeyer Jr., Peter O. Denno
Data exchange transactions for the engineering, procurement, and operation of process equipment depend heavily on product data sheets. Product data sheets are traditional paper forms that serve as the main method of communicating detailed equipment

Non-local propagation of correlations in long-range interacting quantum systems

July 10, 2014
Author(s)
Phil Richerme, Zhexuan Gong, Aaron Lee, Crystal Senko, Jacob Smith, Michael S. Foss-Feig, Spyridon Michalakis, Alexey Gorshkov, Christopher Monroe
The maximum speed with which information can propagate in a quantum many-body system directly affects how quickly disparate parts of the system can become correlated and how difficult the system will be to describe numerically. For systems with only short

Graphene Carrier Transport Theory

March 31, 2012
Author(s)
Shaffique Adam
In this chapter we study the mechanisms for carrier transport in two dimensional graphene sheets. We demonstrate that at high carrier density, graphene's transport properties depend both on the type of impurities present and on graphene's screening

Development and Use of the NIST Intelligent and Automated Construction Job Site Testbed

December 16, 2011
Author(s)
Kamel Saidi, Geraldine Cheok, Marek Franaszek, Christopher U. Brown, Jeremy Swerdlow, Robert R. Lipman, Itai Katz, Mani Golparvar-Fard, Paul Goodrum, Manu Akula, Gabriel Dadi, Behshad Ghadimi
The Intelligent and Automated Construction Job Site (IACJS) Testbed is a large laboratory facility that was established at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in 2011. The creation of the testbed was motivated by the need for such

Microwave quantum logic gates for trapped ions

August 11, 2011
Author(s)
Dietrich G. Leibfried, Christian Ospelkaus, Ulrich J. Warring, Yves Colombe, Kenton R. Brown, J. M. Amini, David J. Wineland
Achieving control over physical systems at the quantum level is a goal shared by scientific fields as diverse as metrology, information processing, simulation and chemistry. For trapped atomic ions, the quantized motional and internal degrees of freedom

Predicting Microstructure Development During Casting of Drug Eluting Coatings

September 19, 2010
Author(s)
David M. Saylor, Jonathan E. Guyer, Daniel Wheeler, James A. Warren
We have devised a novel diffuse interface formulation to model the development of chem- ical and physical inhomogeneities, i.e. microstructure, during the process of casting drug eluting coatings. These inhomogeneities, which depend on the coating

Statistics of Camera-Based Single-Particle Tracking

July 22, 2010
Author(s)
Andrew J. Berglund
Through analysis of digital images, camera-based single-particle tracking enables quantitative determination of transport properties of nanoparticles and molecules and provides nanoscale information about material properties such as viscosity and

A Combined Fit of Total Scattering and Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure Data for Local-Structure Determination in Crystalline Materials

October 5, 2009
Author(s)
Igor Levin, Victor L. Krayzman, Joseph C. Woicik, Terrell A. Vanderah, M. G. Tucker, Thomas Proffen
Reverse Monte Carlo (RMC) refinements of local structure using a simultaneous fit of x-ray/neutron total scattering and EXAFS data were developed to incorporate an explicit treatment of both single- and multiple-scattering contributions to EXAFS. The

Tunable Delay of Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen Entanglement

February 18, 2009
Author(s)
Alberto M. Marino, Raphael C. Pooser, Vincent Boyer, Paul D. Lett
… such as quantum information processing, quantum computing, and quantum communications. The ability to control …

Hydraulically Pumped Cone Fracture in Brittle Solids

October 21, 2008
Author(s)
Herzl Chai, Brian R. Lawn
An analysis of inner cone cracks in brittle solids subject to cyclic indentation in liquid is presented. These inner cone cracks, so named because they form well within the maximum contact circle, are postulated to be driven by a hydraulic pumping
