User-Oriented Evaluation of Compression for Motion Imagery

April 30, 2007
Author(s)
J Irvine, G O'Brien, J Miller, S Israel, Charles D. Fenimore, John W. Roberts, Michelle Brennan, Jeffrey Bartolucci, D Cannon
Motion imagery will play a critical role in future intelligence and military missions. The ability to provide a real time, dynamic view and persistent surveillance makes motion imagery a valuable source of information. The ability to collect, process

Errors in trapped-ion quantum gates due to spontaneous photon scattering

April 27, 2007
Author(s)
R Ozeri, Wayne M. Itano, Brad R. Blakestad, Joseph W. Britton, J Chiaverini, John D. Jost, C. Langer, Dietrich G. Leibfried, Rainer Reichle, Signe Seidelin, Janus Wesenberg, David J. Wineland
We analyze the error in trapped-ion, hyperfine qubit, quantum gates due to spontaneous scattering of photons from the gate laser beams. We investigate the error in single-ion-qubit rotations that are based on stimulated Raman transitions and in two-ion

Simulation of Nanotube Separation in Field-Flow Fractionation (FFF)

April 27, 2007
Author(s)
Frederick R. Phelan Jr., Barry J. Bauer
A Brownian dynamics simulation of prolate ellipsoidal particles is developed to investigate the separation of nanotubes in flow-FFF. The particle motions are governed by stochastic forms of a linear momentum balance with orientation dependent drag and

Securing Wireless Networks

April 26, 2007
Author(s)
Shirley M. Radack
This bulletin summarizes the recommendations developed by NIST to assist organizations in establishing and maintaining robust security for wireless local area networks (WLAN) using the new security features that were developed for IEEE 802.11i. Topics

The 2006 Materials Research Society (MRS) Fall Meeting Report

April 26, 2007
Author(s)
Winnie K. Wong-Ng
The 2006 Materials Research Society (MRS) Fall Meeting took place in the Hynes Convention Center and the Sheraton Boston Hotel, starting the weekend following the Thanksgiving Holidays from November 26 to December 1. This large-scale meeting included forty

Determination of Bitter Orange Alkaloids in Dietary Supplements Standard Reference Materials by Liquid Chromatography With Ultraviolet Absorbance and Fluorescence Detection

April 24, 2007
Author(s)
Karsten Putzbach, Katherine E. Sharpless, Lane C. Sander
Four adrenergic amines [(+/-) synephrine, (+/-) octopamine, tyramine, and n-methyltyramine) were determined in a variety of Citrus aurantium (Bitter Orange) containing dietary supplements. Two extraction techniques were evaluated in detail: Soxhlet

Determination of Caffeine, and Caffeine-Related Metabolites in Ephedra-Containing Standard Reference Materials Using Liquid Chromatography With Absorbance Detection and Tandem Mass Spectrometry

April 24, 2007
Author(s)
Jeanice M. Brown Thomas, Katherine E. Sharpless, S. Mitvalsky, Mark Roman, James H. Yen, Mary B. Satterfield
The concentration of caffeine and caffeine-related compounds in two ephedra-containing reference materials have been determined by three independent methods with measurements performed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and a

Microfluidic Directed Formation of Liposomes of Controlled Size

April 24, 2007
Author(s)
Andreas Jahn, Wyatt N. Vreeland, Don DeVoe, Laurie E. Locascio, Michael Gaitan
A new method to tailor liposome size and size distribution in a microfluidic format is presented. Liposomes are spherical structures formed from lipid bilayers that are from tens of nanometers to several micrometers in diameter. Liposome size and size

Complex Permittivity Measurements at Millimeter Wave Frequencies

April 23, 2007
Author(s)
Billy F. Riddle, Michael D. Janezic
Contemporary circuit designers are requiring larger bandwidths from microsystems to accomodate the ever-increasing demand for denser content. The electrical performance of these microsystems is intrisically related to the electromagnetic properties of the

Ferroelectric Distortion in SrTiO3 Thin Films on Si(001) by X-Ray Absorption Fine Structure: Experiment and First-Principles Calculations

April 23, 2007
Author(s)
Joseph C. Woicik, Eric L. Shirley, C S. Hellberg, S Sambasivan, Daniel A. Fischer, B D. Chapman, E A. Stern, P Ryan, D L. Ederer, H Li
Ti K and Ti L2,3 edge x-ray absorption fine-structure near-edge spectra of SrTiO3 thin films grown coherently on Si(001) reveal the presence of a ferroelectric (FE) distortion at room temperature. This unique phase is a direct consequence of the

Fracture Toughness through a Welded Pipeline Section - Crack Tip Opening Angle Criterion

April 23, 2007
Author(s)
Philippe P. Darcis, Christopher N. McCowan, Elizabeth S. Drexler, Joseph D. McColskey, Avigdor Shtechman, Thomas A. Siewert
The increasing demand for natural gas as an alternative energy source implies continued growth of gas pipeline installations. This trend compels the natural gas transmission industry to consider the construction of larger-diameter, higher-pressure

Low-field current-hysteretic oscillations in spin-transfer nanocontacts

April 19, 2007
Author(s)
Matthew Pufall, William Rippard, Michael Schneider, Stephen E. Russek
We have measured spin-transfer-driven, large-amplitude, current-hysteretic, low frequency (less than or equal to} 500 MHz), narrowband oscillations in nanocontacts made to spin valve structures. The oscillations occur in zero field, persist up to 5 mT for

X-Ray Induced Fluorescence Measurement of Segregation in a DyI3 Metal-Halide Lamp

April 19, 2007
Author(s)
T Nimalisuriya, John J. Curry, Craig J. Sansonetti, E J. Ridderhof, S Shastri, A J. Flikweert, W W. Stoffels, M Haverlag, J J. van der Mullen
X-ray induced fluorescence measurements, using high energy synchrotron radiation generated on the Sector 1 Insertion Device beamline at the Advanced Photon Source, were performed on a metal-halide lamp containing Hg and DyI$_3}$. Density distributions of

Experimental Vibrational Zero-Point Energies: Diatomic Molecules

April 18, 2007
Author(s)
Karl K. Irikura
Vibrational zero-point energies (ZPEs), as determined from published spectroscopic constants, are derived for 85 diatomic molecules. Standard uncertainties are also provided, including estimated contributions from bias as well as the statistical
