Economics of Community Disaster Resilience Workshop Proceedings

March 1, 2016
Author(s)
Bilal Ayyub, Robert E. Chapman, Gearald Galloway, Richard Wright
This report documents the effort launched by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to develop, organize, and convene a workshop on the economics of community disaster resilience to promote the use of economics for system sustainment and

Towards a Reference Architecture for Archival Systems: Use Case With Product Data

April 28, 2014
Author(s)
Raphael Barbau, Joshua Lubell, Sudarsan Rachuri, Sebti Foufou
Long-term preservation of product data is imperative for many organizations. A product data archive should be designed to ensure information accessibility and understanding over time. Approaches such as the Open Archival Information System (OAIS) Reference

The Importance of Dosimetry Standardization in Radiobiology

December 30, 2013
Author(s)
Marc F. Desrosiers, Larry A. DeWerd, James Deye, Patricia Lindsay, Mark K. Murphy, Michael G. Mitch, Francesca Macchiarini, Strahinja Stojadinovic, Helen Stone
Radiation dose is central too much of radiobiological research. Precision and accuracy of dose measurements and reporting of the measurement details should be sufficient to allow the work to be interpreted and repeated and to allow valid comparisons to be

The relation between trees and human health: evidence from the spread of the emerald ash borer

January 8, 2013
Author(s)
Geoffrey Donovan, David Butry, Yvonne Michael, Jeffrey P. Prestemon, Andrew Liebhold, Demetrios Gatziolis, Megan Mao
Background: Exposure to the natural environment may improve human health. However, existing research is limited by the use of cross-sectional study designs. Objectives: We made use of a unique natural experiment—the spread of the emerald ash borer, an

Synthetic spike-in standards for RNA-seq experiments

August 31, 2011
Author(s)
Marc L. Salit, Lichun Jiang, Felix Schlesinger, Brian Oliver, Carrie Davis, Yu Zhang, Renhua Li, Thomas R. Gingeras
High-throughput sequencing of cDNA (RNA-seq) is a widely deployed transcriptome profiling and annotation technique, but questions about the performance of different protocols and platforms remain. We used a newly developed pool of 96 synthetic RNAs with

System Testing Using Use Cases for Simulation Model of an Emergency Room

August 31, 2010
Author(s)
Guodong Shao
Modeling and simulation (M&S) techniques are increasingly being used to solve problems and aid decision making in many different fields. It is particularly useful for Department of Homeland Security (DHS) applications because of its feature of non

Shell and ligand-dependent blinking of CdSe-based core/shell nanocrystals

July 7, 2010
Author(s)
Bonghwan Chon, Sung Jun Lim, Wonjung Kim, Hyeong G. Kang, Taiha Joo, Jeeseong C. Hwang, Seung Koo Shin
Blinking of zinc blende CdSe-based core/shell nanocrystals is studied as a function of shell materials and surface ligands. CdSe/ZnS, CdSe/ZnSe/ZnS and CdSe/CdS/ZnS core/shell nanocrystals are prepared by colloidal synthesis and six monolayers of larger

Volatility of Aprotic Ionic Liquids - A Review

August 7, 2009
Author(s)
Jose M.S.S. Esperanca, Jose N. Canongia Lopes, Mohd Tariq, Luis M.N.B.F. Santos, Joe W. Magee, Luis P. Rebelo
A review of research on the volatility of aprotic ionic liquids is presented. This topic is limited to aprotic liquids, since measurements have led to a generalization that this class of substances possesses an extremely low vapor pressure. For research

Modeling and simulation (M&S) techniques are increasingly being used to solve problems and aid decision making in many different fields. It is particularly useful for Department of Homeland Security (DHS) applications because of its feature of non

Fourier Instrumentation for Radiation Thermometry

October 16, 2008
Author(s)
F J. Dunmore
A miniature Fourier transform spectrometer (MFTS) has been tested as a device for remotely measuring the temperature of a high-stability/emissivity blackbody. The commercially manufactured device is based on the novel design of a polarizing Wollaston prism

The Architecture Development Facilitator (ADF) First Year Report

March 1, 2007
Author(s)
Steven J. Fenves, Eswaran Subrahmanian, Puja Goyal, Jean-Cyrus L. Angbo, Faouzi Daoud, Ram D. Sriram
This document serves as the summary report on the first year?s progress on the Architecture Development Facilitator (ADF) project covering the activities from December 15, 2005, to December 15, 2006. The ADF is intended to assist the Office of Network

Automated Generation of AnIML Documents by Analytical Instruments

August 1, 2006
Author(s)
Alexander Roth, Ronny Jopp, R Schaefer, Gary W. Kramer
The scope of this project covers the storing of result data produced by generic laboratory devices during processing of analytical experiments, together with the data describing the examination methods and the audit trail using the AnIML (Analytical
