Wetting-Dewetting Transition Line in Thin Polystyrene Films

September 9, 2005
Author(s)
H Raghavan, K M. Ashley, A Seghal, Jack F. Douglas, Alamgir Karim
We review recent advances in the application of combinatorial methods to polymer thin film characterization. Combinatorial methods allow the rapid exploration of multidimensional parameter spaces that naturally arise in the description of polymer film

A Unifying Standard for Interfacing Transducers to Networks IEEE-1451.0

September 8, 2005
Author(s)
James Wiczer, Kang B. Lee
A committee of industry and government technology experts has completed a three-year effort to develop a set of specifications that consist of a unifying set of functions, communications protocols, a common set of commands, and electronic data sheet

Indoor Positioning Using Spatial Spectrum

September 7, 2005
Author(s)
Kamran Sayrafian
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

Low-Leakage Superconducting Tunnel Junctions with a Single-Crystal Al2O3 Barrier

September 5, 2005
Author(s)
Seongshik Oh, Katarina Cicak, Kevin Osborn, Raymond Simmonds, David P. Pappas, Robert Mcdermott, Ken B. Cooper, Matthias Steffen, John M. Martinis
We have developed a two-step growth scheme for single-crystal Al2O3 tunnel barriers. The barriers are epitaxially grown on single-crystal rhenium (Re) base electrodes that are grown epitaxially on a sapphire substrate, while polycrystalline Al is used as

Rheopexy of Synovial Fluid and Protein Aggregation

September 5, 2005
Author(s)
Katherine Oates, Wendy Krause, Ronald L. Jones, R H. Colby
Bovine synovial fluid and albumin solutions of similar concentration are rheopectic (stress increases with time in steady shear). This unusual flow characteristic is caused by protein aggrega- tion, and the total stress is enhanced by entanglement of this

Silicide Barrier SNS Junctions for AC Josephson Voltage Standards

September 5, 2005
Author(s)
Paul Dresselhaus, Yonuk Chong, Nicolas Hadacek, Burm Baek, Michio Watanabe, Charles J. Burroughs, Samuel Benz
We have used MoSi2 barrier superconductor-normal-metal-superconductor (SNS) double stacked junctions to generate audio frequency ac waveforms with metrological accuracy. Circuits used in this experiment were two parallel arrays of 1280 stacks of 2

Predicting Gaseous Air Cleaner Performance in the Field

September 4, 2005
Author(s)
Cynthia H. Reed, Steven J. Nabinger, Steven Emmerich
As part of an ongoing effort to better understand the performance of indoor air cleaners in real buildings, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has completed a series of air cleaner field tests and model simulations. This paper

A Framework to Ensure Trustworthy Web Services

September 1, 2005
Author(s)
Jia Zhang, L Zhang
The National Software Reference Library (NSRL) of the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) collects software from various sources and publishes file profiles computed from this software (such as MD5 and SHA-1 hashes) as a Reference

A Simulation and Gaming Architecture for Manufacturing Research, Testing, and Training

September 1, 2005
Author(s)
Charles R. McLean, Sanjay Jain, Yung-Tsun Lee, Frank H. Riddick
Manufacturing systems are often costly to develop and operate. Simulation technology has been demonstrated to be an effective tool for improving the efficiency of manufacturing system design, operation, and maintenance. But manufacturing simulations are

A Tool Kit for Implementing XML Schema Naming and Design Rules

September 1, 2005
Author(s)
Joshua Lubell, Boonserm Kulvatunyou
A tool kit being developed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)encodes XML schema Naming and Design Rules in a computer-interpretable fashion,enabling automated rule enforcement and improving schema quality.

This workshop was held at the National Institute of Standards and Technology s Gaithersburg, Maryland campus June 9-10, 2005 with support from the Office of Pipeline Safety of the U.S. Department of Transportation. A steering committee composed of 20

Amendments to the Fire Protection and Life Safety Provisions of the New York City Building Code by Local Laws Adopted While World Trade Center 1, 2, and 7 Were in Use. Federal Building and Fire Safety Investigation of the World Trade Center Disaster (NIST

September 1, 2005
Author(s)
J C. Razza, R A. Grill
This report was prepared to support the analysis of building and fire codes and practices of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) World Trade Center (WTC) Investigation. This report suppons the objective of documenting the requirements

Amorphous to Tetragonal Transition in Ultrathin Zirconia Films: Effect on the Electronic and Dielectric Properties

September 1, 2005
Author(s)
Safak Sayan, Mark Croft, Nhan Van Nguyen, Tom Emge, Evgeni Gusev, Hyunjung G. Kim, James R. Ehrstein, Paul McIntyre, Eric Garfunkel
As medium-high permittivity dielectrics approach use in MOSFET production, an atomic level understanding of their permittivity and the capacitance of structures made from them are being rigorously examined. In this note, the issue of crystal structure in

Analysis of Aircraft Impacts into the World Trade Center Towers (Appendix A). Federal Building and Fire Safety Investigation of the World Trade Center Disaster (NIST NCSTAR 1-2B) ***DRAFT for Public Comments***

September 1, 2005
Author(s)
Steven W. Kirkpatrick, Robert T. Bocchieri, Fahim Sadek, R A. MacNeill, S Holmes, B D. Peterson, R W. Cilke, C Navarro
The objective of this report was to analyze the aircraft impacts into each of the World Trade Center (WTC) towers to provide the following: (1) estimates of probable damage to structural systems due to aircraft impact, including exterior walls, floor
