AutoBid: System for Police Patrol Selection.

November 1, 2001
Author(s)
S F. Weber, Amy S. Rushing
AutoBid is designed to help police fleet administrators select the patrol vehicle that is best suited to the needs of their department. The system is based on vehicle performance test data for police patrol package models published annually by the Michigan

CFD Modeling and Comparison with Data for the NIST Reference Spray Combustor

November 1, 2001
Author(s)
D S. Crocker, J F. Widmann, Cary Presser
Validation of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) predictions for spray combustion application has been a challenging task due to difficulties in both modeling and experimental measurements. However, validation is considered to be an essential exercise for

Characterization of 2.5 Inch Diameter Bulk GaN Grown from Melt-Solution

November 1, 2001
Author(s)
V Soukhoveev, V Ivantsov, Y Melnik, Albert Davydov, Denis Tsvetkov, K Tsvetkova, I Nikitina, A Zubrilov, A Lavrentiev, Vladimir A. Dmitriev
Crystal growth from a melt or melt-solution is a widely accepted technique for industrial-scale production of important semiconductor materials. Recently we have demonstrated 50 mm diameter GaN crystals grown by melt-solution technique [1]. The crystals

Commemorative Issue for Professor Simon H. Bauer I: Editorial Comment

November 1, 2001
Author(s)
Wing Tsang, Robert E. Huie, Jeffrey A. Manion
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

Computer Forensics Guidance

November 1, 2001
Author(s)
G E. Fisher
This ITL Bulletin describes two projects in the computer forensics arena and provides guidance on the use of the products developed from them. The first project, the National Software Reference Library (NSRL), describes a database of known file

Crystal Structure of Dephospho-Coenzyme A Kinase from Haemophilus Influenzae

November 1, 2001
Author(s)
G Obmolova, A Teplyakov, N Bonander, E Eisenstein, A J. Howard, G L. Gilliland
phospho-coenzyme A kinase catalyzes the final step in CoA biosynthesis, the phosphorylation of the 3'-hydroxyl group of ribose using ATP as a phosphate donor. The protein from Haemophilus influenzae was cloned and expressed, and its crystal structure

Dedication to Richard D. Deslattes

November 1, 2001
Author(s)
Ernest G. Kessler, Gabrielle G. Long
On May 16, 2001, the National Institute of Standards and Technology lost a most illustrious career scientist in x-ray research. This volume is dedicated to honor the memory of Richard D. Deslattes and his lifetime of achievments at NIST. Deslattes'

Driving Bose-Einstein-Condensate Vorticity With a Rotating Normal Cloud

November 1, 2001
Author(s)
P C. Haljan, Ian R. Coddington, P Engels, Eric A. Cornell
We have developed an evaporative cooling technique that accelerates the circulation of an ultra-cold 87Rb gas, confined in a static harmonicpotential. As a normal gas is evaporatively spun up and cooled below quantum degeneracy, it is found to nucleate

Drying/Hydration in Cement Pastes During Curing

November 1, 2001
Author(s)
Dale P. Bentz, K K. Hansen, H D. Madsen, F A. Vallee, E J. Griesel
As concrete cures in the field, there is a constant competition for the mixing water between evaporation and hydration processes. Understanding the mechanisms of water movement in the drying/hydrating cement paste is critical for designing curing systems

Effect of Aluminum Flake Orientation on Coating Appearance

November 1, 2001
Author(s)
Li Piin Sung, Maria E. Nadal, M E. McKnight, Egon Marx, R Dutruc-Rosset, B Laurenti
The orientation of platelet-like pigments in coatings is affected by the processing conditions resulting in appearance variations of the final product. A set of aluminum-flake pigmented coatings having different flake orientations was pre-pared using

Electron Diffraction Using Transmission Electron Microscopy

November 1, 2001
Author(s)
Leonid A. Bendersky, Frank W. Gayle
Electron diffraction via the transmission electron microscope is a powerful method for characterizing the structure of materials, including perfect crystals and defect structures. The advantages of electron diffraction over other methods, e.g., x-ray or

Fire Dynamics Simulator (Version 2) -- Technical Reference Guide

November 1, 2001
Author(s)
Kevin B. McGrattan, Howard R. Baum, Ronald G. Rehm, Anthony P. Hamins, Glenn P. Forney, J E. Floyd, Simo A. Hostikka
Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) is a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelof fire-driven fluid flow. The equations described in this document are a form of the Navier-Stokes equations appropriate for low-speed, thermally-driven flow with an emphasis on
