Measured Performance of a 35 Kilowatt Roof Top Photovoltaic System

March 1, 2003
Author(s)
Arthur H. Fanney, E R. Weise, K R. Henderson
A 35-kilowatt roof top photovoltaic system has been installed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Gaithersburg, Maryland. The system, located on a the roof that connects NIST s Administration Building to its adjoining conference

Measurement of Large Scale Oil Spill Burns (NIST SP 995)

March 1, 2003
Author(s)
D D. Evans, William D. Walton, Howard R. Baum, James R. Lawson, Ronald G. Rehm, Richard H. Harris Jr., A Ghoniem, J Holland
Research has shown that burning can be an effective means to remove oil from the surface of the water. The combustion characteristics of crude oil have been measured in large laboratory tests using a nominal one meter diameter pool fire. This work reports

Modeling Distributed Kinetics in Isolated Semiconductor Quantum Dots

March 1, 2003
Author(s)
M Kuno, D P. Fromm, S T. Johnson, Alan Gallagher, David Nesbitt
tailed modeling of recently observed nonexponential fluorescence intermittency in colloidal semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) is presented. In particular, experiments have shown that both on-time and off-time probability densities generated from single-QD

NDRL/NIST Solution Kinetics Database on the WEB

March 1, 2003
Author(s)
Robert E. Huie
A Solution Kinetics Database, jointly created byNIST and the Notre Dame Radiation Laboratory, hasbeen made available on the Internet in a format similarto that utilized by the popular NIST KineticsDatabase, which covers gas-phase reactions. TheSolution

Near-Field Polarimetric Characterization of Semi-Crystalline Polymer Systems

March 1, 2003
Author(s)
S N. Goldie, Michael J. Fasolka, Lori S. Goldner, Jeeseong C. Hwang, Kathryn Beers
We have studied crystallization in thin films of isotactic polystyrene (iPS) to better understand the morphology and formation of these structures through the use of polarization modulation near-field scanning optical microscopy (PM-NSOM). Polymer

NVLAP Partnerships With NIST Technical Units

March 1, 2003
Author(s)
Hazel M. Richmond, C D. Faison
This report provides NIST managers with an overview of the range and types of technical partnerships between Technology Services' National Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) and NIST Technical Units. It provides a description of NVLAP programs, and

OH Reactivity and UV Spectra of Propane, n-Propyl Bromide, and Isopropyl Bromide

March 1, 2003
Author(s)
S N. Kozlov, Vladimir L. Orkin, Robert E. Huie, Michael J. Kurylo III
The rate constants for the reactions of OH radicals with the 1-bromopropane, 2-bromopropane, and propane were measured using the flash photolysis reasonance fluorescence technique over the temperature range between 210 K and 480 K. Arrhenius plots exhibit

Optical Measurements of Structure and Orientation in Sheared Carbon-Nanotube Suspensions

March 1, 2003
Author(s)
Erik K. Hobbie, Haonan Wang, H W. Kim, Charles C. Han, E A. Grulke, Jan Obrzut
We describe an optical metrology for measuring shear-induced structure and orientation in dilute dispersions of multiwalled carbon nanotubes. Small-angle polarized light scattering and optical microscopy are combined in situ to quantify the structural

Our Plan for a Wireless Loan Service

March 1, 2003
Author(s)
Nancy Allmang
The article would describe, from a librarian's standpoint, what one library has done to gear up for a wireless LAN. It would discuss specific steps the library has taken to get a Wireless Equipment Loan Service up and running.It would explain a dual

Progress in the Development of a Kinetic Database for Heptane Combustion

March 1, 2003
Author(s)
Wing Tsang
This paper deals with the development of a chemical kinetic database for use in the simulation of heptane combustion. The database consists of the thermodynamic properties of all reactants, intermediates and products and the consequences, in terms of rate

Protein Dynamics in Viscous Solvents

March 1, 2003
Author(s)
G Caliskan, A Kisliuk, A M. Tsai, Christopher Soles, Alexei Sokolov
The principals governing the effective stabilization of tissues and drugs are unclear and effective agents for preservation are discovered largely by trail and error. We explore the use of low frequency Raman spectroscopy as an effective tool fro direct

R&D Investment Trends: U.S. Needs More High-Tech

March 1, 2003
Author(s)
Gregory C. Tassey
A varied set of barriers inhibit approaching some optimum for R&D investment. Among them is the fact that the majority of R&D is still performed in the manufacturing sector, which continues to shrink as a portion of GDP. R&D Performance within the U.S

Response of Portable Particulate Monitoring Instruments to Combustion Particulates, Road Dust, and Salt Aerosols. Volume 2 (NIST SP 995)

March 1, 2003
Author(s)
Nelson P. Bryner, William D. Walton, Laurean A. DeLauter, W H. Twilley, J. V. Mullin
This study examined the response of several particulate monitoring instruments to aerosols which might be encountered during monitoring of an in situ oil spill burn. Aerosols included road dust, salt, and particulates from the combustion of heptane, diesel

Ru Spacer Thickness Dependences of the Domain Nucleation and Growth in Co/Ru/Co Synthetic Antiferromagnet

March 1, 2003
Author(s)
V S. Gornakov, Valerian I. Nikitenko, William F. Egelhoff Jr., Robert D. McMichael, Alexander J. Shapiro, Robert D. Shull
The relative orientation of Co magnetization vectors in a Co/Ru/Co/Ta structure vary gradually from parallel to antiparallel orientation as a function of Ru thickness varying from 0 nm to 1.0 nm. At intermediate average Ru thicknesses from 0.2 nm to 0.35

Second Phase Evaluation of a Protocol for Testing Fire-Resistant Oil Spill Containment Boom. Volume 2 (NIST SP 995)

March 1, 2003
Author(s)
William D. Walton, W H. Twilley, Nelson P. Bryner, Laurean A. DeLauter, R. R. Hiltabrand, J. V. Mullin
A second series of fire tests utilizing the ASTM F-20 draft, Standard Guide for In Situ Burning of Oil Spills On Water: Fire-Resistant Containment Boom, as a guideline were conducted in a wave tank at the U.S. Coast Guard Fire and Safety Test Detachment in
