Visualization, A Tool For Understanding Fire Dynamics

July 1, 2007
Author(s)
Glenn P. Forney
Computational tools have been developed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for modeling fire spread and smoke transport. These models include FDS (Fire Dynamics Simulator) for modeling fire spread and smoke transport and Smokeview

Benchmarks for the Third Industrial Fluids Simulation Properties Challenge

June 28, 2007
Author(s)
Peter A. Gordon, Martin Schiller, Chien-Ping Chai Kao, Scott Bair, Daniel G. Friend
We outline the procedures used to establish benchmark physical property data for the Third Industrial Fluids Simulation Challenge. For both challenge problems, this involved measurement of new data. When possible, measurements were compared with published

Gold Nanostructures Created by Highly Charged Ions

June 28, 2007
Author(s)
Joshua M. Pomeroy, Holger Grube, A C. Perrella, John D. Gillaspy
Nanometer sized structures produced by individual highly charged ion (HCI)impacts are reported for the first time on a high conductivity surface andexamined by scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM). Highly charged ions, e.g.,Bi$^{81+}$, represent an exotic

A Comparison of Predicted to Measured Photovoltaic Module Performance

June 27, 2007
Author(s)
Arthur H. Fanney, Brian P. Dougherty, Mark W. Davis
Computer simulation models to accurately predict the electrical performance of photovoltaic modules are essential. Without such models, potential purchasers of photovoltaic systems have insufficient information to judge the relative merits and cost

Detection of C 8 H - and Comparison With C 8 H Toward IRC+10216 With the Green Bank Telescope

June 27, 2007
Author(s)
A Remijan, J M. Hollis, Francis J. Lovas, M A. Cordiner, J Millar, A J. Markwick-Kemper, P R. Jewell
We report the detection of new transitions of octatetraynyl(C8H) toward the circumstellar envelopeIRC+10216 using data taken with the RobertC.Byrd 100m Green Bank Telescope(GBT). In addition, we report 5 transitions from Ku-, K- and Q-band that have been

Effects of Scanner Height on Fingerprint Capture

June 27, 2007
Author(s)
Mary Theofanos, Shahram Orandi, Ross J. Micheals, Brian Stanton, Nien F. Zhang
Although there is widespread deployment of biometric technologies such as fingerprint systems, little attention is being paid to the human-computer interaction that such technologies involved. This report presents the results of a study that examined the

Forensic Techniques for Cell Phones

June 27, 2007
Author(s)
Shirley M. Radack
The data that is captured on mobile phones can be a source of valuable information to organizations that are investigating crimes, policy violations and other security incidents. The science of recovering digital evidence from mobile phones, using

Infrared Spectra of CICN + , CINC + , and BrCN + Trapped in Solid Neon

June 27, 2007
Author(s)
Marilyn E. Jacox, Warren E. Thompson
When a mixture of ClCN or BrCN with a large excess of neon is codeposited at 4.3 K with a beam of neon atoms that have been excited in a microwave discharge, the infrared spectrum of the resulting solid includes prominent absorptions of the uncharged

Domain Ordering of Strained 5ML SrTiO 3 Films on Si(001)

June 26, 2007
Author(s)
P Ryan, Joseph Woicik, D Wermeille, J.-W Kim, C S. Hellberg, H Li
We present high resolution X-ray diffraction data indicating regularly ordered square shaped coherent domains approximately 1200A in length co-existing with longer approximately 9500A correlated regions in a highly strained 5ML SrTiO3 (STO) film grown on

A Call Admission Control Algorithm for WLAN in Heterogeneous Wireless Networks

June 25, 2007
Author(s)
SuKyoung Lee, David W. Griffith, Kyungsoo Kim, Nada T. Golmie
One major challenge in the integration of wireless LAN (WLAN) and cellular networks is call admission control (CAC). Without a suitable CAC mechanism for the integrated network, the two networking systems will work independently and cannot simultaneously

Information Security and Assurance Metrics (ISAM) A Framework for Defining Security, Assurance, and Associated Technical Metrics

June 25, 2007
Author(s)
Alicia Clay Jones, Jaime Montemayor, William Blackert, David Carman, Anusha Saksena, Paul Schuster, David Silberberg
This report summarizes the results of interviews with a multi-disciplinary group of experts who share an interest in information security and assurance metrics (ISAM). We used their feedback to create a framework or model for developing definitions for

Frequency Comparison of Al + and Hg + Optical Standards

June 24, 2007
Author(s)
Till P. Rosenband, David Hume, Anders Brusch, Luca Lorini, P. O. Schmidt, Tara M. Fortier, Jason Stalnaker, Scott A. Diddams, Nathan R. Newbury, W Swann, Windell Oskay, Wayne M. Itano, David J. Wineland, James C. Bergquist
We compare the frequencies of two single ion frequency standards: 27Al + and 199Hg +. Systematic fractional frequency uncertainties of both standards are below 10 -16, and the statistical measurement uncertainty is below 5 x 10 -17. Recent ratio

Frequency-Tunable Josephson Junction Resonator for Quantum Computing

June 23, 2007
Author(s)
Kevin Osborn, Joshua Strong, Adam J. Sirois, Raymond W. Simmonds
We have fabricated and measured a high-Q Josephson junction resonator with a tunable resonance frequency. A dc magnetic flux allows the resonance frequency to be changed by over 10%. Weak coupling to the environment allows a quality factor of 7000 in the

ACJVS Operating Margins using a Ternary Arbitrary Bitstream Generator

June 22, 2007
Author(s)
Ernest Houtzager, Samuel Benz, Helko vanden Brom
In this paper we present measurements with a pulse-driven AC Josephson voltage standard (ACJVS) that uses a ternary arbitrary bitstream generator as the bias source. From these measurements we conclude that the circuit is operational for voltages up to 220
