Enzyme Activity to Augment the Characterization of Tethered Bilayer Membranes

June 1, 2006
Author(s)
Gintaras Valincius, Duncan J. McGillivray, W. Febo-Ayala, David J. Vanderah, John J. Kasianowicz, Mathias Losche
The structural order of tethered lipid bilayers (tBLMs) on solid substrates, investigated with electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and neutron reflectivity (NR), is further characterized by phospholipase activity. Whereas EIS and NR data indicate

Implementing XML Schema Naming and Design Rules

June 1, 2006
Author(s)
Joshua Lubell, Boonserm Kulvatunyou, Katherine C. Morris, Betty Harvey
We are building a methodology and tool kit for encoding XML schema Naming and Design Rules (NDRs) in a computer-interpretable fashion, enabling automated rule enforcement and improving schema quality. Through our experience implementing rules from various

Magnetometry with millimeter-scale anti-relaxation-coated alkali-metal vapor cells

June 1, 2006
Author(s)
M V. Balabas, D Budker, John E. Kitching, P Schwindt, Jason Stalnaker
Dynamic nonlinear magneto-optical-rotation signals with frequency- and amplitude-modulated laser light have been observed and investigated with a spherical glass cell of 3-mm diameter containing Cs metal with inner walls coated with para?n. Intrinsic

New Collaboration Methods for Laboratory Liaisons

June 1, 2006
Author(s)
Nancy Allmang, Mylene S. Ouimette, Lea Wade
Three years ago the Information Services Division of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) initiated a library-laboratory liaison program. In the programs early years the liaisons performed in-depth research and analyses, worked with

NIST Inter-Comparison Exercise Program for Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDEs) in Marine Sediment: Description and Results of the 2004 Intercomparison Exercise

June 1, 2006
Author(s)
H M. Stapleton, Jennifer M. Lynch, Michele M. Schantz, John R. Kucklick, Stephen A. Wise
In support of environmental monitoring measurement programs, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) conducts inter-laboratory comparison exercises to provide one mechanism for participating laboratories/monitoring programs to evaluate

NIST Intercomparison Program for Organic Contaminants in the Marine Environment: Description and Results of 2005 Organic Intercomparison Exercises

June 1, 2006
Author(s)
Michele M. Schantz, John R. Kucklick, Reenie M. Parris, Dianne L. Poster, Stephen A. Wise
In support of marine monitoring measurement programs, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) conducts interlaboratory comparison exercises to provide one mechanism for participating laboratories/monitoring programs to evaluate the

NIST Station Nightclub Fire Investigation: Physical Simulation of the Fire

June 1, 2006
Author(s)
Daniel M. Madrzykowski, Nelson P. Bryner, Stephen Kerber
A fire occurred on the night of February 20, 2003, at The Station Nightclub located in West Warwick, Rhode Island. A band that was performing that night, during its performance, used pyrotechnics that ignited foam insulation lining the walls and part of

Power Control in Multihop CSMA

June 1, 2006
Author(s)
Hamid Gharavi, Bo Yan
We have implemented a quantum key distribution (QKD) system with polarization encoding at 850 nm over 1 km of optical fiber. The high-speed management of the bit-stream, generation of random numbers and processing of the sifting algorithm are all handled

Sturgeon, Jeanice M. Brown Thomas, Robert D. Vocke Jr., Stephen A. Wise, Laura J. Wood, L. Yang, James H. Yen, G. C. Ziobro

Representation of Heterogeneous Material Properties in the Core Product Model

June 1, 2006
Author(s)
Arpan Biswas, Steven J. Fenves, V Shapiro, Ram D. Sriram
The Core Product Model (CPM) was developed at NIST as a high level abstraction for representing product related information, to support data exchange, in a distributive and a collaborative environment. In this paper, we extend the CPM to components with

Selecting Effective Test Messages

June 1, 2006
Author(s)
Leonard E. Gebase, Roch Bertucat, Robert D. Snelick
One of the first problems that must be addressed when attempting to test the reliability of any software implementation is determining what is to be tested. The number of paths an implementation can follow is generally much too large to be able to test all

Special Issue on Collaborative Engineering

June 1, 2006
Author(s)
Ram D. Sriram, Simon Szykman, D Durham
Design of complex engineering systems is increasingly becoming a collaborative task among designers or design teams that are physically, geographically, and temporally distributed. The complexity of modern products means that a single designer or design
