Interlaboratory Study of Alternate Filter Papers for Use in ASTM E 2187

December 11, 2009
Author(s)
Richard G. Gann, William F. Guthrie
ASTM E 2187 has become the internationally referenced standard for designing and specifying less fire-prone cigarettes. In this test method, a lit cigarette is laid on multiple layers of filter paper, and the observer identifies whether the cigarette burns

A New 26plex Autosomal STR Assay to Aid Human Identity Testing*(dagger)

September 1, 2009
Author(s)
Carolyn R. Steffen, John M. Butler, Peter Vallone
Multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has become the standard in forensic testing. Currently there are two commercial multiplex PCR amplification kits available that simultaneously amplify 16 short tandem repeat (STR) loci that include the 13 FBI

Comparison of statistical consistency and metrological consistency

September 6, 2008
Author(s)
Raghu N. Kacker, Ruediger Kessel, Klaus-Dieter Sommer, Xin Bian
The conventional concept of consistency in multiple evaluations of the same measurand is based on statistical error analysis. This concept is based on regarding the evaluations as realizations from sampling probability distributions of potential

Web Thermo Tables an On-Line Version of the TRC Thermodynamic Tables

July 14, 2008
Author(s)
Andrei F. Kazakov, Chris D. Muzny, Robert D. Chirico, Vladimir Diky, Michael D. Frenkel
It has long been understood that availability of thermophysical and thermochemical property data is vital to scientific research and industrial design. For over 65 years, the Thermodynamics Research Center (TRC) has been publishing tables of critically

Quantifying Interpretability for Motion Imagery: Applications to Image Chain Analysis

July 9, 2007
Author(s)
Charles D. Fenimore, J Irvine, D Cannon, S Israel, G O'Brien, A Aviles, John W. Roberts
The motion imagery community will benefit from the availability of standard measures for assessing image interpretability. The National Imagery Interpretability Rating Scale (NIIRS) has served as a community standard for still imagery, but no comparable

Water Heat Pipe Blackbody as a Reference Spectral Radiance Source Between 50 C and 250 C

… uniformity have to be developed as reference and working standards. Traditionally, the temperature scale, maintained at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), has relied on water bath and …

Constitutive Models for a Poly(e-caprolactone) Scaffold

October 1, 2004
Author(s)
Timothy P. Quinn, Tammy L. Oreskovic, Christopher N. McCowan, N Washburn
We investigate material models for a porous, polymeric scaffold used for bone. The material was made by co-extruding poly (e-caprolactone) (PCL), a biodegradable polyester, and poly(ethylene oxide)(PEO). The water soluble PEO was removed resulting in a

Refractive Index Study of Al x Ga 1-x N Films Grown on Sapphire Substrates

September 1, 2003
Author(s)
Norman Sanford, Larry Robins, Albert Davydov, Alexander J. Shapiro, Denis V. Tsvetkov, Vladimir A. Dmitriev, Stacia Keller, Umesh Mishra, Steven P. DenBaars
A prism coupling method was used to measure the ordinary (italic}n o) and extraordinary (italic}n e) refractive indices of Al xGa 1-xN films, grown by hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE) and metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) on sapphire, at

Development of a Tunable LED-Based Colorimetric Source

August 1, 2002
Author(s)
Steven W. Brown, C Santana, George P. Eppeldauer
A novel, spectrally tunable light-source utilizing light emitting diodes (LED's) for radiometric, photometric, and colorimetric applications is described. The tunable source can simulate standard sources and can be used as a transfer sources and can be
