Building Retrofits for Increased Protection Against Airborne Chemical and Biological Releases

March 1, 2007
Author(s)
Andrew K. Persily, Robert E. Chapman, Steven J. Emmerich, William S. Dols, Heather Davis, Priya D. Lavappa, Amy S. Rushing
Due to concerns about potential airborne chemical and biological (chembio) releases in or near buildings, building owners and managers and other decision makers are considering retrofitting buildings to provide some degree of protection against such events

Characterization of an Optical Time Domain Reflectometer Calibrator

March 1, 2007
Author(s)
Donald R. Larson, Nicholas G. Paulter Jr., Kenneth C. Blaney
We report the results of an investigation into the signal characteristics and behavior of an instrument used to calibrate Optical Time Domain Reflectometers. This instrument implements the Telecommunications Industry Association standard TIA/EIA-455-226

Development of an Experimental Database and Kinetic Models for Surrogate Jet Fuels

March 1, 2007
Author(s)
M Colket, T Edwards, S Williams, N Cernansky, D L. Miller, Fokion N. Egolfopoulos, P Linstedt, Ram Seshadri, F L. Dryer, C K. Law, Daniel G. Friend, David Lenhert, Heinz Pitsch, A Sarofim, M Smooke, Wing Tsang
The engineering and scientific community ha been searching for the identification of surrogate fuels that can reasonably represent the performance and emissions behavior of jet fuels (e.g. Jet A and JP-8) in engines. Many proposals exist in the literature

Guide for the Selection of Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Decontamination Equipment for First Responders

March 1, 2007
Author(s)
Alim A. Fatah, Richard Arcilesi, Adam Judd, Laurel O'Connor, Charlotte H. Lattin, Corrie Y. Wells
The primary purpose of the Guide for the Selection of Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) Decontamination Equipment for Emergency First Responders is to provide emergency first responders with information to aid them in the selection of

Multiscale Model of Germanium Quantum Dots in Silicon

March 1, 2007
Author(s)
David T. Read, Vinod Tewary
Atomic displacements, strains and strain energies in the neighborhood of near-spherical, coherent germanium ¿quantum dots¿ (QD) in crystalline silicon and near a 001} Si surface have been predicted by multiscale modeling, using a combination of classical

Nonparametric Inference for Balanced Randomization Designs

March 1, 2007
Author(s)
Andrew L. Rukhin
The properties of two balanced randomization schemes which allocate the known number of subjects among several treatments are compared. According to the first procedure, the so-called truncated multinomial randomization design, the allocation process

Organic Electronics: Low Power, High Impact

March 1, 2007
Author(s)
David J. Gundlach
Reducing the operating voltage and power consumption of organic-based logic circuits for portable applications is a critical step towards organic electronics becoming a commercial technology.

Precise Alignment of single Nanowires and Fabrication of Nanoelectromechanical Switch and Other Test Structures

March 1, 2007
Author(s)
Qiliang Li, Sang-Mo Koo, Curt A. Richter, Monica D. Edelstein, John E. Bonevich, Joseph Kopanski, John S. Suehle, Eric M. Vogel
The integration of nanowires and nanotubes into electrical test structures to investigate their nanoelectronic transport properties is a significant challenge. Here we present a single nanowire manipulating system to precisely manipulate and align

Process Monitoring of Turning and Model Adaptation for Smart Machining Systems

March 1, 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
