Kate Remley, Jeffrey R. Guerrieri, Dylan Williams, David R. Novotny, Anthony B. Kos, Nelson Bryner, Nader Moayeri, Michael Souryal, Kang Lee, Steven Fick
This article reports on activities being carried out by the National Institute of Standards and Technology to ensure secure, reliable use of Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) technology in homeland security and public safety applications. These

Standards-Based Semantic Middleware

July 1, 2007
Author(s)
Nenad Ivezic, Boonserm Kulvatunyou, Marko Vujasinovic, Pat Snack, Zuran Marjanovic, Hyunbo Cho
We describe a novel semantics-based architecture for standards-based approaches to interoperable applications. The paper includes our experiences in prototyping the proposed architecture and demonstrating the resulting semantic middleware capability. This

The Role of Water in the Thermodynamics of Drug Binding to Cyclodextrin

July 1, 2007
Author(s)
Niya Tordorova, Frederick P. Schwarz
The thermodynamic parameters, DBGo, DBHo, and DBSo, of the drugs flurbiprofen (FLP), nabumetone (NAB), and naproxen (NPX) binding to b-cyclodextrin (bCD) and to g-cyclodextrin (gCD) in 0.10 M sodium phosphate buffer were determined from isothermal

Towards Standards for Integrated Gaming and Simulation for Incident Management

July 1, 2007
Author(s)
Sanjay Jain, Charles R. McLean, Yung-Tsun T. Lee
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

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
