Ranging Atom Probe Spectra to Reduce Measurement Bias

July 24, 2024
Author(s)
Frederick Meisenkothen, David Newton, Karen DeRocher, Mark McLean
Atom probe tomography (APT) is emerging as an essential characterization tool in a wide variety of science and engineering fields. For example, APT is helping to foster nascent fields, such as nano-geology [1], and is increasingly being adopted by the

Transmission Electron Imaging and Diffraction of Asbestos Fibers in an SEM

July 24, 2024
Author(s)
Jason Holm, Elisabeth Mansfield
Asbestos, a known carcinogen, can be found in consumer products ranging from building materials to textiles. While most of the products are no longer produced domestically, the release of asbestos fibers from these and other non-anthropogenic sources into

Forecasting Operation of a Chiller Plant Facility Using Data Driven Models

July 23, 2024
Author(s)
Behzad Salimian Rizi, Afshin Faramarzi, Amanda Pertzborn, Mohammad Heidarinejad
In recent years, data-driven models have enabled accurate prediction of chiller power consumption and chiller coefficient of performance (COP). This study evaluates the usage of time series Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) models to predict chiller

Measurement-driven Langevin modeling of superparamagnetic tunnel junctions

July 23, 2024
Author(s)
Liam Pocher, Temitayo Adeyeye, Sidra Gibeault, Philippe Talatchian, Ursula Ebels, Daniel Lathrop, Jabez J. McClelland, Mark Stiles, Advait Madhavan, Matthew Daniels
Superparamagnetic tunnel junctions are important devices for a range of emerging technologies, but most existing compact models capture only their mean switching rates. Capturing qualitatively accurate analog dynamics of these devices will be important as

NIST Risk Management Framework (RMF) Small Enterprise Quick Start Guide

July 23, 2024
Author(s)
Daniel Eliot
For organizations of all sizes, managing risk (including information security and privacy risk), is critical for organizational resilience. This guide is designed to help small, under-resourced entities understand the value and core components of the NIST

NIST Time and Frequency Bulletin

July 23, 2024
Author(s)
Kelsey Rodriguez
The Time and Frequency Bulletin provides information on performance of time scales and a variety of broadcasts (and related information) to users of the NIST services.

Quantum Lego Expansion Pack: Enumerators from Tensor Networks

July 22, 2024
Author(s)
ChunJun Cao, Michael Gullans, Brad Lackey, Zitao Wang
We provide the first tensor network method for computing quantum weight enumerator polynomials in the most general form. As a corollary, if a quantum code has a known tensor network construction of its encoding map, our method produces an algorithm that

Far-UVC: The impact of optical filters on real-world deployment

July 20, 2024
Author(s)
C Cameron Miller, Ewan Eadie, Paul O'Mahoney, Sally Ibbotson, Kenneth Wood
In 2015, a study showed that Krypton-Chloride (KrCl) excimer lamps could induce erythema and basal layer DNA damage in human skin. Later studies found that filtering out longer wavelength emissions from these lamps resulted in no acute skin effects

Food Nutrition and Safety Measurements Quality Assurance Program: Exercise 2 Final Report

July 19, 2024
Author(s)
Melissa M. Phillips, Colleen E. Bryan Sallee, Carolyn Burdette, Steven J. Christopher
The Food Nutrition and Safety Measurements Quality Assurance Program (FNSQAP) was launched in 2021. FNSQAP was established to assist laboratories in the development and validation of new analytical methods, in improving the quality of their analytical

The NIST Wildland-Urban Interface Fire Case Study Approach and Outlook

July 19, 2024
Author(s)
Eric Link
Wildland-urban interface (WUI) fires are a threat to thousands of communities in the United States. Thousands of structures are destroyed, and thousands of lives are threatened or upended by fires every year. There are valuable lessons to be learned from

Assessing the Benefits and Risks of Quantum Computers

July 17, 2024
Author(s)
Travis Scholten, Carl Williams, Dustin Moody, Michele Mosca, William Hurley, William J. Zeng, Matthias Troyer, Jay Gambetta
Quantum computing is an emerging technology with potentially far-reaching implications for national prosperity and security. Understanding the timeframes over which economic benefits and national security risks may manifest themselves is vital for ensuring

Database-assisted-design facilitating performance-based tall building design

July 17, 2024
Author(s)
Daniel Rhee, Sophie Sisson, Brian Carman, Mehedy Mashnad, DongHun Yeo
In recent years, wind design, particularly for high-rise buildings, has seen a paradigm shift from a code-based descriptive method to a more specific performance-objective-based design. This new approach, known as the Performance-Based Wind Design (PBWD)

The Need for Reproducible Research in Soft Robotics

July 16, 2024
Author(s)
Andrew Spielberg, Jeremy Marvel, Dylan Shah, Jennifer Case, Robert Baines
To avoid facing a reproducibility crisis that will undermine the recent rapid pace of research and hamper widespread adoption, the field of soft robotics needs to establish best practices and uphold rigorous reporting.

Cryptographic Algorithms and Key Sizes for Personal Identity Verification

July 15, 2024
Author(s)
Hildegard Ferraiolo, Andrew Regenscheid
Federal Information Processing Standard 201-3 (FIPS 201-3) defines the requirements for Personal Identity Verification (PIV) life cycle activities, including identity proofing, registration, PIV Card issuance, and PIV Card usage. FIPS 201-3 also defines
