Fire Tests of Men's Suits on Racks. Report of Test (FR 4013)

December 15, 2001
Author(s)
D W. Stroup, Laurean A. DeLauter, J Lee, G Roadarmel
A series of fire tests were conducted to characterize the potential hazard from ignition of men's suits hanging on racks. The fire test scenario was selected as part of a fire investigation being conducted by the U.S. Department of Treasury's Bureau of

Phase-resolved Crab Studies with a Cryogenic Transition-Edge Sensor Spectrophotometer

December 10, 2001
Author(s)
R. W. Romani, Aaron J. Miller, B. Cabrera, Sae Woo Nam, John M. Martinis
We are developing time- and energy-resolved near-IR/optical/UV photon detectors based on sharp superconducting-normal transition edges in thin films. We report observations of the Crab pulsar made during prototype testing at the McDonald 2.7 m with a fiber

The Cockayne Syndrome Group B Gene Product is Involved in General Genome Base Excision Repair of 8-hydroxyguanine in DNA

December 7, 2001
Author(s)
J Tuo, M Muftuoglu, C Chen, Pawel Jaruga, R R. Selzer, R M. Brosh, H Rodriguez, Miral M. Dizdar, V. Bohr
Cockayne Syndrome (CS) is a human genetic disorder with two complementation groups, CS-A and CS-B. The CSB gene product is involved in transcription-coupled repair of DNA damage but may participate in other pathways of DNA metabolism. The present study

W3C XML Schema Test Suite

December 5, 2001
Author(s)
John M. Tebbutt, Anthony V. Cincotta
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

Segmentation for Robust Tracking in the Presence of Severe Occlusion

December 3, 2001
Author(s)
Camillo A. Gentile, M Sznaier, O Camps
Tracking an object in a sequence of images can fail due to partial occlusion or clutter. Robustness can be increased by tracking a set of parts, provided that a suitable set can be identified. In this paper we propose a novel segmentation, specifically

Thermal Measurements for Fire Fighters' Protective Clothing

December 3, 2001
Author(s)
James R. Lawson, R Vettori
Thousands of fire fighters are seriously burned each year and many loose their lives while exposed to fire fighting environments. Work is underway at the National Institute of Standards and Technology to identify measurement needs for developing a better

2001 ITL Technical Accomplishments

December 1, 2001
Author(s)
Elizabeth B. Lennon, M Helfer
This report presents the achievements and highlights of NIST¿s Information Technology Laboratory during FY2001. Following the Director¿s Foreword and the ITL overview, technical projects in ITL focus areas are described, followed by services to NIST

A Guide to Documentary Standards

December 1, 2001
Author(s)
C R. DeVaux
The Guide is intended to provide information on the U.S. standards system, entities within that system, and different types of documentary standards. It includes descriptions of performance and design standards; volumtary consensus standards; defense

Burning Behavior of Selected Automotive Parts From a Sports Coupe.

December 1, 2001
Author(s)
Thomas J. Ohlemiller, John R. Shields
Selected functional parts from a sports coupe were subjected to a gas: flame ignition source and burned in a manner that allowed measurement of the resulting total heat release rate and heat fluxes to the surroundings. This is the second part of a study

Characterization and Modeling of Silicon-Carbide Power Devices

December 1, 2001
Author(s)
Allen R. Hefner Jr., David W. Berning, Ty R. McNutt, Alan Mantooth, Jih-Sheng Lai, Ranbir Singh
New Power semiconductor devices have begun to emerge that utilize the advantages of silicon carbide (SiC). As SiC power device types are introduced, circuit performance and reliability characterization are required for system designers to adopt the new

Characterization of Particulate From Fires Burning Silicone Fluids

December 1, 2001
Author(s)
Y Sivathanu, Anthony P. Hamins, George W. Mulholland, Takashi Kashiwagi, R Buch
The optical properties of particulate emitted from fires burning two distinct polydimethylsiloxane fluids (D4 and M2 or MM, where D=(CH3)2SiO and M=(CH3)3SiO2) were obtained using a transmission cell-reciprocal nephelometer in conjunction with gravimetric

Coherent Raman and Infrared Studies of Sulfur Trioxide

December 1, 2001
Author(s)
E T. Chrysostom, N Vulpanovici, Tony Masiello, J Barber, J W. Niblez, A Weber, A G. Maki, Thomas A. Blake
High resolution (0.001 cm -1) coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) was used to observe the Q-branch structure of the IR-inactive Ņ 1 symmetric stretching mode of 32S 160 3 and its various 18O isotopomers. The Ņ 1 spectrum of 32S 160 3 reveals two

The next two issues of the International Journal of Chemical Kinetics are dedicated to Prof. Simon H. Bauer on the occasion of his 90th birthday. These issues contain a number of papers by his students and colleagues who have built on his pioneering

Confinement Effects on the Spatial Extent of the Reaction Front in Ultrathin Chemically Amplified Photoresists

December 1, 2001
Author(s)
D L. Goldfarb, M Angelopoulos, Eric K. Lin, Ronald L. Jones, Christopher Soles, Joseph~undefined~undefined~undefined~undefined~undefined Lenhart, Wen-Li Wu
Sub-100 nm lithography poses strict requirements on photoresist material properties and processing conditions to achieve necessary critical dimension (CD) control of patterned structures. As resist thickness and feature linewidth decrease, fundamental
