Fatal Training Fires: Fire Analysis for the Fire Service

September 3, 2007
Author(s)
Daniel M. Madrzykowski
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has investigated the fire conditions of two very different fire training incidents that resulted in the loss of life. One incident occurred in an acquired structure and the other occurred in a

New Approach to Ventilation Measurements in Enclosure Fires

September 3, 2007
Author(s)
Rodney A. Bryant
The application of Stereoscopic Particle Image Velocimetry (SPIV) is a new approach to quantifying the ventilation in enclosure fires. Stereoscopic PIV is a non-intrusive optical measurement technique which measures the displacement of tracer particles in

Process Monitoring of Turning and Model Adaptation for Smart Machining Systems

September 3, 2007
Author(s)
Jarred C. Heigel, Robert W. Ivester
Smart Machining Systems improve manufacturing efficiency using optimization based on process models. Cutting force models developed from a narrow set of empirical data provide insight into the physical properties of cutting, but the extreme physical

Recent Results from the NIST Pulse-Heated Kolsky Bar

September 3, 2007
Author(s)
Timothy J. Burns, Steven Mates, Richard L. Rhorer, Eric P. Whitenton, Debasis Basak
A Kolsky bar laboratory for measuring dynamic material properties, in support of improved finite-element modeling of high-speed machining processes, has been developed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The NIST split-Hopkinson

Benefit-Cost Analysis of Residential Fire Sprinkler Systems

September 2, 2007
Author(s)
David T. Butry, M H. Brown, S Fuller
This report documents a benefit-cost analysis performed to measure the expected present value of net benefits resulting from the installation of a multipurpose network fire sprinkler system in a newly-constructed, single-family house. The benefits and

An Integrated Simulation Environment for Incident Management Training

September 1, 2007
Author(s)
Charles R. McLean, Sanjay Jain, Yung-Tsun T. Lee, Guodong Shao
Simulation and gaming can support decision making through all phases of incident management including prevention, preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation. A number of gaming and simulation tools have been developed for the purpose but they

Applying Serious Games to Intelligence Analysis

September 1, 2007
Author(s)
Don E. Libes, Theresa O'Connell
Knowledge from game design appears to offer new methods for software instruction and use that would traditionally require long, expensive, and not always effective training. In this paper, we explore the possibility of applying such knowledge to the field

Characterization of a Suite of Ginkgo-Containing Standard Reference Materials

September 1, 2007
Author(s)
Catherine A. Rimmer, S. Howerton, Katherine E. Sharpless, Lane C. Sander, Stephen E. Long, Karen E. Murphy, Barbara J. Porter, K. Putzbach, M. S. Rearick, Stephen A. Wise, Laura J. Wood, Rolf L. Zeisler, Diane K. Hancock, James H. Yen, J. M. Betz, A. NguyenPho, L. Yang, C. Scriver, S. N. Willie, R. Sturgeon, B. Schaneberg, C. Nelson, J. Skamarack, M. Pan, L. Kerri, D. Gray, E. H. Waysek, A.

Dependence of Exchange Coupling Interaction on Micromagnetic Constants in Hard/Soft Magnetic Bilayer Systems

September 1, 2007
Author(s)
Antonio Zambano, Hiroyuki Oguchi, Ichiro Takeuchi, Y W. Choi, J.S. Jiang, J P. Liu, S E. Lofland, Daniel Josell, Leonid A. Bendersky
To elucidate the dependence of exchange coupling behavior of hard/soft magnetic bilayer systems on various micromagnetic constants, the coupling length and the nucleation field (H (superscript_N)) were systematically measured on five thin film libraries
