Building a Test Suite for Web Application Scanners

January 7, 2008
Author(s)
Elizabeth N. Fong, Romain Gaucher, Vadim Okun, Paul E. Black, Eric Dalci
This paper describes the design of a test suite for thorough evaluation of web application scanners. Web application scanners are automated, black-box testing tools that examine web applications for security vulnerabilities. For several common

Reference Values for Dynamic Calibration of PMUs

January 7, 2008
Author(s)
Gerard N. Stenbakken, Thomas L. Nelson, Ming Zhou, Virgilio A. Centeno
This paper discusses measurements of the dynamic performance of electric power Phasor Measurement Units, PMUs, and their relation to the requirements of the IEEE Synchrophasor Standard C37.118-2005. In particular, it proposes a new method for monitoring

Towards the Complete Analysis of the Rotational Spectrum of (CH 3 ) 3 SnCl

January 7, 2008
Author(s)
Melanie Schnell, Jon T. Hougen, J U. Grabow
The rotational spectrum of the symmetric top trimethyl tin chloride (CH3)3SnCl has been studied using a pulsed molecular beam Fourier transform microwave spectrometer in the frequency range from 3 to 24 GHz. The spectrum is exceedingly complicated by the

Trap-Imbalanced Fermion Mixtures

January 7, 2008
Author(s)
Menderes Iskin, Carl J. Williams
We analyze the ground state phases of two-component population- andmass-balanced but trap-imbalanced fermion mixtures as a function of interactionstrength from the weak attraction Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) to the strongattraction Bose-Einstein

X-Ray Topography to Characterize Surface Damage on CdZnTe Crystals

January 7, 2008
Author(s)
David R. Black, Joseph C. Woicik, Martine Duff, Douglas Hunter, Arnold Burger, Michael Groza
Synthetic CdZnTe or CZT crystals can be used for room temperature detection of ?-radiation. Structural/morphological heterogeneities within CZT, such as twinning, secondary phases (often referred to as inclusions or precipitates), and polycrystallinity can

Mitochondrial Genome Deletion Aids in the Identification of Both False and True Negative Prostate Needle Core Biopsies

January 6, 2008
Author(s)
Jennifer Maki, Kerry Robinson, Brian Reguly, Jude Alexander, Roy Wittock, A A. Aguirre, Eleftherios Diamandis, Nicholas Escott, Anthony Skehan, Owen Prowse, Robert E. Thayer, Kent Froberg, Michael Wilson, Samantha D. Maragh, J P. Jakupciak, Paul D. Wagner, S Srivastava, Gabriel D. Dakubo, Ryan L. Parr
We report the utility of a 3.4kb mtgenome deletion (3.4mt?) for molecular definition of benign, malignant and proximal to malignant (PTM) needle biopsies. The 3.4mt_ was identified through long extension PCR analysis of frozen PCa samples. A quantitative

High-performance carbon nanotube coatings for high-power laser radiometry

January 3, 2008
Author(s)
Krishna Ramadurai, Christopher L. Cromer, Laurence A. Lewis, Katie Hurst, Anne Dillon, Roop Mahajan, John H. Lehman
Radiometry for the next generation of high-efficiency, high-power industrial lasers requires thermal management at optical power levels exceeding 10 kW. Laser damage and thermal transport present fundamental challenges for laser radiometry in support of

Announcement: Greetings from the New Co-Editors

January 2, 2008
Author(s)
Allan H. Harvey, Donald R. Burgess Jr.
This is an editorial from the two incoming editors of the Journal of Physical and Chemical Reference Data, describing their future plans.

Coherent, multiheterodyne spectroscopy using stabilized optical frequency combs

January 2, 2008
Author(s)
Ian R. Coddington, William C. Swann, Nathan R. Newbury
The broadband, coherent nature of narrow-linewidth fiber frequency combs is exploited to measure the full complex spectrum of a molecular gas through multiheterodyne spectroscopy. We measure the absorption and phase shift experienced by each of 155 000

Optical Critical Dimension Measurement of Silicon Grating Targets Using Back Focal Plane Scatterfield Microscopy

January 2, 2008
Author(s)
Heather J. Patrick, Ravikiran Attota, Bryan M. Barnes, Thomas A. Germer, Michael T. Stocker, Richard M. Silver, Michael R. Bishop
We demonstrate optical critical dimension measurement of lines in silicon grating targets using back focal plane scatterfield microscopy. In this technique, angle-resolved diffraction signatures are obtained from grating targets by imaging the back focal

Raman Spectroscopic Determination of Hole Concentration in p-Type GaSb

January 2, 2008
Author(s)
James E. Maslar, Wilbur S. Hurst, C Wang
Room temperature p-type GaSb bulk coupled mode spectra were measured as a function hole concentration. These spectra were obtained using an optical system based on 752.55 nm excitation in order to obtain more sensitivity to bulk GaSb coupled mode

Standard Guide to Fluorescence - Instrument Calibration and Validation

January 2, 2008
Author(s)
Paul C. DeRose
This guide is intended to aid in the calibration, qualification and performance verification of fluorescence-based instrumentation as part of complying with regulatory and other QA/QC requirements. Commonly-used, commercially available materials and

Standard Reference Materials Catalog January 2008

January 2, 2008
Author(s)
Regina R. Montgomery, Joan C. Sauerwein
NIST Standard Reference materials (SRMs) are used by industry, government and academia to ensure the highest quality measurements. This catalog lists over 1300 individual reference materials produced and sold, by NIST, each with carefully assigned values

0:45 Surface Color

January 1, 2008
Author(s)
Maria E. Nadal, E A. Early, Robert R. Bousquet
This document, SP250-71 (2007), NIST Measurements Services: 0:45 Surface Color, describes the instrumentation, standards, and techniques used to measure the surface color of reflective, non-fluorescent materials at a 0:45 geometry, that is an irradiance
