Laser-Driven Calorimetry Measurements of Petroleum and Biodiesel Fuels

September 20, 2017
Author(s)
Cary Presser, Ashot Nazarian, Amit Millo
The thermochemical characteristics were determined for several National Institute of Standards and Technology Standard Reference Material petroleum-based and biodiesel fuels, using a novel laser-heating calorimetry technique. Measurements focused on the

Assembly of Multi-flavored Two-Dimensional Colloidal Crystals

July 12, 2017
Author(s)
Nathan Mahynski, Hasan Zerze, Harold W. Hatch, Vincent K. Shen, Jeetain Mittal
We systematically investigate the assembly of binary multi-flavored colloidal mixtures in two dimensions. In these mixtures all pairwise interactions between species may be tuned independently. This introduces an additional degree of freedom over more

High Strain Rate Mechanical Characterization of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composites using Digital Image Correlations

March 28, 2017
Author(s)
Louise A. Ahure Powell, William E. Luecke, Matthias J. Merzkirch, Timothy J. Foecke, Katherine Avery
The introduction of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites to structural components in lightweight automotive structures necessitates an assessment to evaluate that their crashworthiness dynamic response provides similar or higher levels of

Microgravity Superagglomerates Produced by Silane and Acetylene

February 19, 2017
Author(s)
Matthew Bundy, George Mulholland, Samuel Manzello, Jiann C. Yang, J H. Scott
A study of acetylene and silane diffusion flames was performed in normal gravity (1-g) and microgravity ([mu]-g) to determine the evolution of soot and silica agglomerates. The objective of this study was to understand the process of gas phase

Toward Integrating Distributed Energy Resources and Storage Devices in the Smart Grid

February 1, 2017
Author(s)
Guobin Xu, Wei Yu, David W. Griffith, Nada T. Golmie, Paul Moulema
The smart grid, as one of typical applications supported by Internet of Things, denoted as a re-engineering and a modernization of the traditional power grid, aims to provide reliable, secure, and efficient energy transmission and distribution to consumers

Generalized entropy theory of glass-formation in fully flexible polymer melts

December 21, 2016
Author(s)
Jack F. Douglas, Wensheng Xu, Karl Freed
The generalized entropy theory (GET) offers many insights into how molecular parameters influence polymer glass-formation. Given the fact that chain rigidity often plays a critical role in understanding the glass- formation of polymer materials, the GET

Rheological Measurement of Suspensions Without Slippage: Experimental and Model

December 13, 2016
Author(s)
Alex Olivas, Michelle A. Helsel, Nicos Martys, Chiara C. Ferraris, William L. George, Raissa Ferron
The conclusion of international studies was that the optimal approach to calibrate concrete rheometers would be to develop a non-Newtonian standard reference material (SRM) that contained inclusions similar in size to aggregates used commonly in concrete

Continuous-feed optical sorting of aerosol particles

June 15, 2016
Author(s)
John J. Curry, Zachary H. Levine
We consider the problem of sorting, by size, spherical particles of order 100 nm radius. The scheme we analyze consists of a heterogeneous stream of spherical particles flowing at an oblique angle across a Gaussian mode optical standing wave. Sorting is

Considerations of Environmentally-Relevant Test Conditions for Improved Evaluation of Ecological Hazards of Engineered Nanomaterials

June 8, 2016
Author(s)
Patricia Holden, Jorge Gardea-Torresdey, Frederick Klaessig, Ronald Turco, Monika Mortimer, Kerstin Hund-Rinke, David Avery, Damia Barcelo, Renata Behra, Yoram Cohen, Laurence Deydier-Stephan, Barbara Harthorn, Danail Hristozov, John Johnston, Agnes Kane, Larry Kaputska, Arturo Keller, Hunter Lenihan, Wess Lovell, Catherine Murphy, Roger Nisbet, Elijah Petersen, Martin Scheringer, Monita Sharma, David Speed, Yasir Sultan, Jason White, Eva Wong, Baoshan Xing, Meghan Steele Horan, Hilary Godwin, Andre Nel
Engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) entering the environment could impact biological populations or entire ecosystems. Ecotoxicology aims to determine effective concentrations, which often exceed those in the environment. ENM behaviors in complex media impede

CONTAM RESULTS EXPORT TOOL

March 9, 2016
Author(s)
Brian Polidoro, Lisa Ng, William Stuart Dols
CONTAM is a multizone indoor air quality and ventilation analysis program developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Since CONTAM simulation files are binary and not human-readable, the CONTAM Results Export Tool was created to

Top-top internal rotation coupling in the microwave spectrum of pinacolone

October 8, 2015
Author(s)
Jon T. Hougen, Yueyue Zhao, Ha Vanh L. Nguyen, Wolfgang Stahl
The molecular beam Fourier-transform microwave spectrum of pinacolone (methyl tert-butyl ketone) has been measured in several regions between 4 and 40 GHz. Fits of the assigned spectrum using several computer programs based on different models for treating

Measuring Systematic and Random Error in Digital Forensics

July 24, 2015
Author(s)
Alexander J. Nelson, Simson L. Garfinkel
Recognized sources of error in digital forensics include systematic errors arising from implementation errors, and random errors resulting from faulty equipment. But as digital forensic techniques expand to include statistical machine learning, another

July 3, 2015
Author(s)
Virgil Provenzano, Robert D. Shull, G Kletetschka, Paul E. Stutzman
Because of its attractive magnetocaloric properties, gadolinium (Gd) metal is currently the refrigerant of choice in the development of near-room temperature magnetic cooling prototypes (refrigerators, heat pumps, and air conditioners). The overwhelming
