Report on High-Rise Fireground Field Experiments

April 10, 2013
Author(s)
Jason D. Averill, Lori Moore-Merrell, Raymond T. Ranellone Jr., Craig G. Weinschenk, Nicole Taylor, Randy Goldstein, Robert Santos, Doug Wissoker, Kathy Notarianni, Kathryn Butler
In order to balance community expectations with limited resources, the fire service and community leaders require scientific data that quantifies the effects of changes in fire service deployment on the safety of the public and firefighters. This report

Logic Minimization Techniques with Applications to Cryptology

April 1, 2013
Author(s)
Joan Boyar, Philip Matthews, Rene Peralta
A new technique for combinational logic optimization is described. The technique is a two-step process. In the rst step, the non-linearity of a circuit as measured by the number of non-linear gates it contains is reduced. The second step reduces the number

Conformance of Image Features to Classifier Assumptions

July 27, 2012
Author(s)
Julien M. Amelot, Peter Bajcsy, Mary C. Brady
Cell measurements are derived frequently from the results of pixel classification and contiguous region segmentation of microscopy images. Image segmentation is accomplished by classifying image pixels based on high dimensional image features computed from

Materials Challenges in Carbon Mitigation Technologies

April 24, 2012
Author(s)
Laura Espinal, Bryan D. Morreale
Thermochemical conversion of fossil fuels currently dominates the national and global energy portfolio, with the most notable being the stationary power production and transportation vehicles sectors. As global energy demand continues to increase

Transitory Temperatures of Organic-Film Coated Specimens under Outdoor Exposure

March 2, 2012
Author(s)
William C. Thomas, Christopher C. White, Walter E. Byrd
A mathematical model is presented and validated for predicting the temperature of thin polymeric films bonded to substrate materials. The National Institute of Standards and Technology provided specimen temperature and simultaneous weather data for tests

Standard Reactions for Comparative Rate Studies: Experiments on the Dehydrochlorination Reactions of 2 Chloropropane, Chlorocyclopentane and Chlorocyclohexane

November 23, 2011
Author(s)
Iftikhar A. Awan, Donald R. Burgess Jr., Wing Tsang, Jeffrey A. Manion
Single pulse shock tube studies of the thermal dehydrochlorination reactions (chlorocyclopentane → cyclopentene + HCl) and (chlorocyclohexane → cyclohexene + HCl) at temperatures of 843 to 1021 K and pressures of 1.4 to 2.4 bar have been carried out using

Data Dependency on Measurement Uncertainties in Speaker Recognition Evaluation

November 3, 2011
Author(s)
Jin Chu Wu, Alvin F. Martin, Craig S. Greenberg, Raghu N. Kacker
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has been conducting an ongoing series of Speaker Recognition Evaluations (SRE). Speaker detection performance is measured using a detection cost function defined as a weighted sum of the

Tripartite interactions between two phase qubits and a resonant cavity

August 1, 2010
Author(s)
Fabio Altomare, Jae Park, Katarina Cicak, Mika Sillanpaa, Michael S. Allman, Adam J. Sirois, Joshua Strong, Jed D. Whittaker, Raymond Simmonds
The ability to create and manipulate the entanglement of a large number of quantum systems lies at the heart of emerging quantum information technologies. Thus far, multipartite entanglement has been achieved using various forms of quantum bits (qubits)

Development and Demonstration of a Method to Evaluate Bio-Sampling Strategies Using Building Simulation and Sample Planning Software

June 10, 2010
Author(s)
William S. Dols, Jayne B. Morrow, Andrew K. Persily, Brett Matzke, Landon Sego, Lisa Nuffer, Brent Pulsipher
response and recovery sampling approaches and technologies, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), along with several other agencies, have simulated a biothreat agent release within a facility at Idaho National Laboratory (INL) on two separate

A 1D Spectral Image Validation/Verification Metric for Fingerprints

August 19, 2009
Author(s)
John M. Libert, John D. Grantham, Shahram Orandi
Image validation and verification are important functions in the acquisition of fingerprint images from live-scan devices and for assessing and maintaining the fidelity of fingerprint image databases. In addition to law enforcement, such databases are used

Development and Demonstration of a Method to Evaluate Bio-Sampling Strategies using Building Simulation and Sample Planning Software

June 1, 2009
Author(s)
William S. Dols, Jayne B. Morrow, Andrew K. Persily, Brett Matzke, Landon Sego, Lisa Nuffer, Brent Pulsipher
In an effort to validate and demonstrate response and recovery sampling approaches and technologies, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), along with several other agencies, have simulated a bio-terrorist release within a facility at Idaho
