October 16, 2008
Author(s)
Frank W. Gayle
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has completed its four-year investigation of the World Trade Center disaster. The investigation addressed many aspects of the catastrophe, from occupant egress to factors affecting how long the Twin

The Customer Speaks: Satisfaction With and Use of Library Resources

October 16, 2008
Author(s)
Barbara P. Silcox
The Research Advisory Committee (RAC) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in its 2000 Annual Report to the NIST Director expressed concern that the NIST Research Library would not be able to meet the research needs of the scientific and

The Discovery of Type-IV Binary Fluid Phase Behavior

October 16, 2008
Author(s)
Johanna Levelt Sengers
The analysis by Scott and Van Konynenburg of the binary Van der Waals mixture for constant excluded volume uncovered the Type-IV phase diagram as a transition between Type-II and Type-III phase diagrams. The common boundary of the regions of Type-II and

The Effect of Bi Contamination on the Solidification Behavior of Sn-Pb Solders

October 16, 2008
Author(s)
Kil-Won Moon, Ursula R. Kattner, C A. Handwerker
This paper presents experimental results and theoretical calculations that evaluate the effects of Bi contamination on the solidification behavior of Sn-Pb alloys. The pasty (mushy) range, the type of solidification path, and the microstructure of the

The Flawed-Cylinder Burst Test

October 16, 2008
Author(s)
J H. Smith
This report is a summary and compilation of the test results obtained during the development of the Flawed-Cylinder Burst Test. The Flawed-Cylinder Burst Test was developed as part of a cooperative project under the direction of the International Standards
