The ASTM Handbook of Reference Data for Nondestructive Testing (NDT) is a collection of previously available NDT data for use by NDT practitioners. It is intended to be a ready reference guide, and will include chapters on several of the different NDT
The measurement of particle size distributions has become increasingly important for the testing and certification of equipment used in size analysis. Requirements for quality control compliance with the ISO 9000 series of quality standards have emphasized

Quasicrystals are metal alloys whose noncrystallographic symmetry and lack of structural periodicity challenge methods of both experimental structure determination and theoretical structural prediction. Here we employ total energy calculations and Monte

The IEEE 1451.1 standard was studied and analyzed for resources needed for a minimal implementation of the standard. As a result, a Minimal IEEE 1451.1 Model optimized for the 8051 series of microcontrollers is proposed. In addition, a Minimal IEEE 1451.1

The thermal stability of the organic treatment present on a layered silicate is of utmost importance in preparing a polymer-layered silicate (clay) nanocomposite by melt processing methods. Specifically, the organic treatment must not decompose at
A Green's function method is described for multiscale modeling of point defectssuch as vacancies and interstitials at the atomistic level and extended defects such as free surfaces and interfaces at the macroscopic continuum level in a solid. The point
Highly correlated ab initio molecular orbital calculations have been used to map out the potential energy surface of the Cl + allene reaction in the gas phase. Seven transition state structures governing the mechanism of the title reaction were computed at

In engineering design, all products and artifacts have some intended reason behind their existence: the product or artifact function. Functional modeling provides an abstract, yet direct, method for understanding and representing an overall product or
We discuss our design for a laser-scanning confocal microscope that will provide fluorescence images with diffraction-limited spatial resolution and spectral information. An achromatic design allows UV excitation while visible to 1000 nm emission is
We reexamine the characteristics of electrically short dipoles with nonlinear loads and, specifically, the early work of Motohisa Kanda. Although this problem has been examined in great detail in the past, some errors have not been addressed. We describe

The major tools used in applying computational thermodynamics to various problems in materials science are briefly presented and several practical examples are given as illustrations. Solutions to industrial problems pertaining to the processing of and
Extensible Markup Language (XML) developers have at their disposal a variety of tools for achieving schema reuse. An often-overlooked reuse method is the specification of architectures for creating and processing data. Experience with APEX, an architecture
Standards have played a role in establishing human cytogenetic analysis as a clinical laboratory discipline from the beginning. Following implementation of basic cytogenetic techniques and discoveries of chromosomal disorders, scientific necessity inspired
The certification of the rheological properties of standard reference material SRM 2490, a non-Newtonian fluid consisting of polyisobutylene dissolved in 2,6,10,14-tetramethylpentadecane, is described. The viscosity and the first normal stress difference
This report summarizes the research and services provided by the Chemical Science and Technology Laboratory of the National Institute of Standards and Technology for Fiscal Year 2001. The report includes: a general overview of the laboratory's activities

A DNA glycosylase specific for UV radiation-induced pyrimidine dimers has been identified from chlorella virus Paramecium bursaria chlorella virus-1. This enzyme (Chlorella virus Pyrimidine dimer glycosylase [cv-pdgl) exhibits a 41% amino acid identity
Tissue engineering is a new paradigm in medicine with the goal of regenerating missing or damaged tissue. One strategy is to develop scaffolds that, after surgical implantation, will initially serve as a mechanical support but over time will coax cells
The measurement of color (called colorimetry) uses a set of three spectral response curves standardized by the Commission Internationalede l'Eclairage (CIE) that approximate the human visual response. It turns out that the accuracies of color measuring

It has been well established that cell substrate topography can affect cell morphology and cell behavior. Numerous groups have demonstrated that cell alignment, anisotropic cell spreading and cell proliferation can be controlled by various topographical
When a computer system is expensive to use or is not often available, one may want to tune software for it via analytical models that run on more common, less costly machines. In contrast, if the host system is readily available, the attraction of
Polymer composites based on organically modified phyllosilicates (organoclay) and poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate) (EVA) were prepared by melt processing to study their combustion behavior. Their degrees of dispersion and intercalation spacings as

By solving the hydrodynamic equations of irrotational superfluids we investigate the time evolution of a rotating condensate expanding after the sudden release of the confining trap. If the condensate is initially rotating slowly its angular velocity is

We report on attempts to control surface morphology using current lithographic processes critical to the development of both inorganic and organic nano-structures. Bilayers of protected (base insoluble) and deprotected (base soluble) model lithographic
