Database-Assisted Design for Wind: Veering Effects on High-Rise Structures

August 15, 2010
Author(s)
Dong Hun Yeo, Emil Simiu
Atmospheric boundary layer winds experience two types of effects due to friction at the ground surface. One effect is the increase of the wind speeds with height above the surface. The second effect, called the Ekman layer effect, entails veering -- the

Examination of Multiphase (Zr,Ti)(V,Cr,Mn,Ni)2 Ni-MH Electrode Alloys. Part 2: Solid-State Transformation of the Interdendritic B2 Phase Phase

August 15, 2010
Author(s)
Leonid A. Bendersky, Ke Wang, William J. Boettinger, Dale E. Newbury, K. Young, B. Chao
Multi-component Zr-Ti-Ni-TM (TM=V, Cr, Mn and Co) cast alloys intended for use as negative electrodes in Ni metal hydride batteries were studied to determine the solidification microstructure and solidification path in the Part I of this paper. Part II of

Indoor Air Quality in Sustainable, Energy Efficient Buildings

August 15, 2010
Author(s)
Andrew K. Persily, Steven J. Emmerich
Building designers, contractors, owners and managers have long been challenged with providing quality indoor environments at a reasonable energy cost. Current efforts to improve building energy efficiency, including goals of netzero energy use, are

Solidification of a heterogeneous Multiphase Laves-based Hydrogen Storage Alloy

August 15, 2010
Author(s)
William J. Boettinger, Dale E. Newbury, Ke Wang, Leonid A. Bendersky, Chun Chiu, Ursula R. Kattner, K. Young, B. Chao
The solidification microstructure of a nine-element Zr-Ni based AB(sub 2) type C14/C15 Laves hydrogen storage alloy is determined. The selected composition represents a class of alloys being examined for usage as a metal hydride electrode in nickel metal

Creation and manipulation of Feshbach resonances with radio-frequency radiation

August 12, 2010
Author(s)
Thomas M. Hanna, Eite Tiesinga, Paul S. Julienne
We present a simple technique for studying collisions of ultracold atoms in the presence of a magnetic field and radio-frequency radiation (rf ). Resonant control of scattering properties can be achieved by using rf to couple a colliding pair of atoms to a

Recognizing people from dynamic and static faces and bodies: Dissecting identity with a fusion approach

August 12, 2010
Author(s)
Alice J. O'Toole, P. Jonathon Phillips, Samuel Weimer, Dana A. Roark, Julianne Ayadd, Robert Barwick, Joseph Dunlop
The goal of this study was to evaluate human accuracy at identifying people from static and dynamic presentations of faces and bodies. Participants matched identity in pairs of videos depicting people in motion (walking or conversing) and in \best" static

Separation and Metrology of Nanoparticles by Nanofluidic Size Exclusion

August 11, 2010
Author(s)
Samuel M. Stavis, Jon C. Geist, Michael Gaitan
A nanofluidic approach to the separation and metrology of nanoparticles is demonstrated. Advantages of this approach include nanometer-scale resolution, nanometer-scale to submicrometer-scale range, mitigation of hydrodynamic and diffusional limitations to

Advances in Coherent Population Trapping for Atomic Clocks

August 10, 2010
Author(s)
John E. Kitching, Vishal Shah
We review advances in the field of coherent population trapping (CPT) over the last decade with respect to the application of this physical phenomenon to atomic frequency references. We provide an overview of both the basic phenomenon of coherent

Conductive Carbon Nanotubes for Semiconductor Metrology

August 10, 2010
Author(s)
Joseph J. Kopanski, Victor H. Vartanian, Vladimir Mancevski, Phillip D. Rack, Ilona Sitnitsky, Matthew D. Bresin
This paper presents an evaluation of e-beam assisted deposition and welding of conductive carbon nanotube (c-CNT) tips for electrical scanning probe microscope measurements. Variations in CNT tip conductivity and contact resistance during fabrication were

NIST COORDINATION OF SMART GRID INTEROPERABILITY STANDARDS

August 9, 2010
Author(s)
David A. Wollman, Gerald FitzPatrick, Paul A. Boynton, Thomas L. Nelson
The National Institute of Standards and Technology has efforts underway to accelerate the development of interoperability standards to support the future modernized "Smart Grid" electric grid or energy delivery network characterized by a two-way flow of

Performance Requirements for End-to-End Verifiable Elections

August 9, 2010
Author(s)
Stefan Popoveniuc, John M. Kelsey, Andrew Regenscheid, Poorvi Vora
The term end-to-end verifiability has been used over the past several years to describe multiple voting system proposals. The term has, however, never been formally defined. As a result, its meaning tends to change from voting system to voting system. We

Variability in the Geometric Accuracy of Additively Manufactured Test Parts

August 9, 2010
Author(s)
April L. Cooke, Johannes A. Soons
Results of a study on the variability in the geometric accuracy of a metal test part manufactured by several service providers using either electron beam or laser based powder bed thermal fusion processes are described. The part was a circle-diamond-square

Hybridization Thermodynamics of Bound DNA

August 8, 2010
Author(s)
Brian E. Lang
Isothermal Titration Calorimetry was used to study the thermodynamics of hybridization on DNA-functionalized colloidal gold nanoparticles. When compared to the thermodynamics of hybridization of DNA that is free in solution, the differences in the values
