This handbook, which can be used as both a tutorial and a reference, describes practical techniques for frequency stability analysis. It covers the definitions of frequency stability, measuring systems and data formats, pre-processing steps, analysis tools

HVACSIM+ User's Guide Update

July 1, 2008
Author(s)
Cheol D. Park
The first version of HVACSIM+, which stands for “HVAC SIMulation PLUS other systems”, as introduced by National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in 1985 as a computer simulation tool to simulate entire building systems [1]. Since then, the

Laser noise cancellation in single-cell CPT clocks

July 1, 2008
Author(s)
Vladislav Gerginov, Svenja A. Knappe, V Shah, Leo W. Hollberg, John E. Kitching
We demonstrate a new technique for the suppression of noise associated with the laser source in atomic clocks based on coherent population trapping. The technique uses differential detection of the transmission of linearly- and circularly-polarized beams

Methods for Quantifying and Characterizing Errors in Pixel-Based 3D Rendering

July 1, 2008
Author(s)
John G. Hagedorn, Judith E. Terrill, Adele P. Peskin, James J. Filliben
We present methods for measuring errors in the rendering of three-dimensional points, line segments, and polygons in pixel-based computer graphics systems. We present error metrics for each of these three cases. These methods are applied to rendering with

Nanoscopic Porous Sensors

July 1, 2008
Author(s)
John J. Kasianowicz, Joseph W. Robertson, Elaine Chan, Joseph E. Reiner, Vincent M. Stanford
There are thousands of different nanometer-scale pores in biology,many of which act as sensors for specific chemical agents. Recent work suggests that protein and solid-state nanopores have many potential uses in a wide variety of analytical applications

Performance Evaluation of Phasor Measurement Systems

July 1, 2008
Author(s)
Zhenyu Huang, Bogdan Kasztenny, Vahid Madani, Ken Martin, Sakis Meliopoulos, Damir Novosel, Gerard N. Stenbakken
Abstract--After two decades of phasor network deployment, phasor measurements are now available at many major substations and power plants. The North American SynchroPhasor Initiative (NASPI), supported by the US Department of Energy and the North American

The SRM Spotlight is a newsletter published by the Measurement Services Division for users of NIST Standard Reference Materials. The Spotlight announces new reference materials and provides information about their use. In addition, this newsletter contains

Stiffening of the Extrapulmonary Arteries in Chronic Hypoxic Pulmonary Hypertension

July 1, 2008
Author(s)
Elizabeth S. Drexler, J. E. Bischoff, Christopher N. McCowan, Andrew Slifka, Timothy P. Quinn, R Shandas, Dunbar Ivy, K. R. Stenmark
It is increasingly appreciated that changes in the compliance properties of large blood vessels are critical determinants of ventricular afterload and ultimately dysfunction. Little is known of the mechanical properties of large vessels in the setting of

Structural and Electronic Properties of Bilayer Epitaxial Graphene

July 1, 2008
Author(s)
Gregory M. Rutter, Jason Crain, N Guisinger, Phillip N. First, Joseph A. Stroscio
Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy (STS) is used to study the structural and electronic properties of bilayer epitaxial graphene on SiC(0001). Topographic images reveal that graphene conforms to the SiC interface roughness and is observed

Sustaining Engineering Informatics: Toward Methods and Metrics for Digital Curation

July 1, 2008
Author(s)
Joshua Lubell, Sudarsan Rachuri, Eswaran Subrahmanian, Mahesh Mani
Ensuring the long-term usability of engineering informatics (EI) artifacts is a challenge, particularly for products with longer life cycles than the computing hardware and software used for their design and manufacture. Addressing this challenge requires

The Atomic-Scale Investigation of Graphene Formation on 6H-SiC(0001)

July 1, 2008
Author(s)
N Guisinger, Gregory M. Rutter, Jason Crain, Christian Heiliger, P First, Joseph A. Stroscio
The growth of graphene on the silicon terminated face of 6H-SiC(0001) was investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) measurements. The initial stages of ultra high vacuum (UHV) graphitization resulted in the growth of individual graphene sheets on

The Escherichia coli YdcF binds S-adenosyl-L-methionine and adopts an alpha/beta fold characteristic of nucleotide-utilizing enzymes

July 1, 2008
Author(s)
Kinlin L. Chao, Kap Lim, C Lehmann, V Doseeva, A J. Howard, Frederick P. Schwarz, Osnat Herzberg
The crystal structure of YdcF at a resolution of 0.18 nm reveals a fold of the adenine nucleotide α hydrolase-like family. Following the structural clues, a nucleotide binding screen was carried out employing isothermal titration calorimetry. The following

A Framework for Measuring the Vulnerability of Hosts

June 30, 2008
Author(s)
Karen A. Scarfone, Timothy Grance
This paper proposes a framework for measuring the vulnerability of individual hosts based on current and historical operational data for vulnerabilities and attacks. Previous approaches have not been scalable because they relied on complex manually

Applying Automated Metrics to Speech Translation Dialogs

June 30, 2008
Author(s)
Sherri Condon, Jon Phillips, Christy Doran, John Aberdeen, Dan Parvaz, Beatrice Oshika, Gregory A. Sanders, Craig I. Schlenoff
Over the past five years, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has funded development of speech translation systems for tactical applications. A key component of the research program has been extensive system evaluation, with dual
