ThermoML an XML-based Approach for Storage and Exchange of Experimental and Critically Evaluated Thermophysical and Thermochemical Property Data. 5. Speciation and Complex Equilibria

January 7, 2011
Author(s)
Michael D. Frenkel, Vladimir Diky, Robert D. Chirico, Robert N. Goldberg, Heiko Heerklotz, John E. Ladbury, David P. Remeta, John H. Dymond, Anthony R. Goodwin, Kenneth N. Marsh, William A. Wakeham, Stephen E. Stein, Paul L. Brown, Erich Koenigsberger, Peter A. Williams
ThermoML is an XML-based approach for storage and exchange of experimental and critically evaluated thermophysical and thermochemical property data. Extensions to the ThermoML schema for the representation of speciation and complex equilibria are described

Enticing arsonists with broken windows and social disorder

January 6, 2011
Author(s)
Douglas Thomas, David Butry, Jeffrey P. Prestemon
Arson rates vary widely across the U.S., and much of this variation can be traced to fuel and weather factors related to ignition success and socioeconomic factors shown to influence crime rates. In criminology, it is well understood that indicators of

Droplet/Surface Interaction: Relevance to Fire Suppression

January 5, 2011
Author(s)
Anthony P. Hamins
Due to the ban of Halon 1301 under the Montreal Protocol, new liquid fire suppressants have been proposed as possible alternatives to Halon 1301 in certain fires. It has been reported that in the case of water mist fire suppression systems, a large

New Capabilities for Process and Interaction Modeling in BPMN 2

January 5, 2011
Author(s)
Stephen White, Conrad Bock
This paper provides a high-level introduction to new features in processes and interaction diagrams in the Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) Version 2.0. BPMN 2.0 expands the capabilities of BPMN 1.x Process and Collaboration diagrams, and adds

NIST Time and Frequency Bulletin

Author(s)
Petrina C. Potts
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.

Suppression Limits of Low Strain Rate Non-Premixed Flames

January 5, 2011
Author(s)
Matthew F. Bundy, Anthony P. Hamins
The suppression of low strain rate non-premixed flames was investigated experimentally in a counterflow configuration through the development of a methodology that allows establishment of laminar flames free from conductive heat losses. The method allows

Cloud Hooks: Security and Privacy Issues in Cloud Computing

January 4, 2011
Author(s)
Wayne Jansen
In meteorology, the most destructive extratropical cyclones evolve with the formation of a bent-back front and cloud head separated from the main polar-front, creating a hook that completely encircles a pocket of warm air with colder air. The most damaging

A Survey of hp-Adaptive Strategies for Elliptic Partial Differential Equations

January 3, 2011
Author(s)
William F. Mitchell, Marjorie A. McClain
The hp version of the finite element method (hp-FEM) combined with adaptive mesh refinement is a particularly efficient method for solving partial differential equations because it can achieve a convergence rate that is exponential in the number of degrees

An interferometric platform for studying AFM probe deflection

January 3, 2011
Author(s)
Jon R. Pratt, Lee Kumanchik, Tony L. Schmitz
This paper describes an interferometric platform for measuring the full-field deflection of atomic force microscope (AFM) probes and generic cantilevers during quasi-static loading. The platform consists of a scanning white light interferometer (SWLI)

Clean agent suppression of energized electrical equipment fires

January 3, 2011
Author(s)
Gregory T. Linteris
The NFPA 2001 standard on the use of clean agents for the suppression of fires arose from the phase-out of Halon 1301. Standard methods exists for specifying the amount of clean agent required for Class A and Class B fires, but the recommendation for Class

Discriminating Between Smoldering and Flaming Fires Using Alarm Signals

January 3, 2011
Author(s)
William D. Davis
Strategies are developed that make use of signals from smoke and heat alarms to deduce conditions in a room for both flaming and smoldering fires. The issue addressed is to determine how to provide useful information to incident command for smoldering

Dynamic Properties for Modeling and Simulation of Machining: Effect of Pearlite to Austenite Phase Transition on Flow Stress in AISI 1075 Steel

January 3, 2011
Author(s)
Timothy J. Burns, Steven P. Mates, Richard L. Rhorer, Eric P. Whitenton, Debasis Basak
The Pulse-Heated Kolsky Bar Laboratory at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has been developed for the measurement of dynamic properties of metals. Because high-speed machining processes can lead to extremely rapid heating of a

Effects of Fuel Location and Distribution on Full-Scale Underventilated Compartment Fires

January 3, 2011
Author(s)
Andrew J. Lock, Cheolhong Hwang, Matthew F. Bundy, Erik L. Johnsson, Gwon H. Ko
Experimental and numerical studies were conducted to investigate the effect of fuel location and distribution on full-scale underventilated compartment fires in an ISO 9705 room. Heptane fuel was burned in three different fuel distributions: single

Geometric Magnetoresistance Mobility Extraction in Highly Scaled Transistors

January 3, 2011
Author(s)
Jason P. Campbell, Kin P. Cheung, Liangchun (. Yu, John S. Suehle, Kuang Sheng, A Oates
Geometric magnetoresistance provides a promising solution to the difficult challenges associated with channel mobility extraction in nano-scale transistors. However, this technique requires significant experimental considerations which are uncommon in most

Hotter Cements, Cooler Concretes

January 3, 2011
Author(s)
Dale P. Bentz, Casimir Bognacki, Kyle Riding, Victor Villarreal
In the past 50 years, portland cements have become progressively finer, in order to meet increasing demands for fast-track construction, etc. While finer cements produce higher early-age strengths, they also increase early-age heat release which can

Reducing Data Nonconformity in Linear Models

January 3, 2011
Author(s)
Andrew L. Rukhin
Stein phenomenon Summary Several procedures designed to reduce nonconformity in interlaboratory studies by shrinking data toward a consensus matrix weighted mean are suggested. Some of them are shown to have a smaller quadratic risk than the vector sample

Thermal Properties of High-Volume Fly Ash Mortars and Concretes

January 3, 2011
