Quantized Pulse Propagation in Josephson Junction Arrays

July 23, 2019
Author(s)
Christine A. Donnelly, Justus Brevik, Nathan Flowers-Jacobs, Anna Fox, Paul Dresselhaus, Peter F. Hopkins, Samuel Benz
We present time-domain electrical measurements and simulations of the quantized voltage pulses that are generated from series-connected Josephson junction (JJ) arrays. The transmission delay of the JJ array can lead to a broadening of the net output pulse

The Unit Manufacturing Process (UMP) Builder: User's Guide

July 3, 2019
Author(s)
David Lechevalier, William Z. Bernstein
The ASTM E3012-16 Standard Guide for Characterizing Environmental Aspects of Manufacturing Processes provides guidelines for formally characterizing manufacturing processes. However, the difficulty that has arisen in the early use of the standard

High-coverage, long-read sequencing of Chinese trio reference samples

June 14, 2019
Author(s)
Justin M. Zook, Nathanael D. Olson, Marc L. Salit, Aaron Wenger, Chunlin Xiao, Robert Sebra
Genome In a Bottle (GIAB) is a consortium hosted by the National Institute of Standards and Technology whose primary objective is the development and characterization of human genomic reference materials. The consortium includes representatives from

A Reference Schema for the Unit Manufacturing Process Information Model

May 7, 2019
Author(s)
William Bernstein, David Lechevalier
This document presents supporting documentation for a reference implementation of the Unit Manufacturing Process (UMP) information model presented in ASTM E3012, Standard Guide for Characterizing Environmental Aspects of Manufacturing Processes. A version

Incorporating unit manufacturing process models into life cycle assessment workflows

May 5, 2019
Author(s)
William Z. Bernstein, Cesar D. Tamayo, David Lechevalier, Michael Brundage
Life cycle assessment (LCA) carries significant uncertainties and imprecision due to a number of factors, including the framework's linearity assumptions and the wide use of aggregate unit processes in practice. The goal of this work is to exploit the unit

Standards Needs for Maintenance Work Order Analysis in Manufacturing

April 3, 2019
Author(s)
Thurston Sexton, Michael Brundage
To bolster the efficiency and performance of maintenance work in manufacturing-maintenance being one of the key components to ensuring successful long-term operations-it is becoming increasingly necessary to ensure that maintenance operations are capable

An open resource for accurately benchmarking small variant and reference calls

April 1, 2019
Author(s)
Justin M. Zook, Jennifer H. McDaniel, Marc L. Salit, Nathanael D. Olson, Justin M. Wagner
Benchmark small variant calls are required for developing, optimizing and assessing the performance of sequencing and bioinformatics methods. Here, as part of the Genome in a Bottle (GIAB) Consortium, we apply a reproducible, cloud-based pipeline to

NIST Handbook 150-1, NVLAP Energy Efficient Lighting Products

February 14, 2019
Author(s)
C Cameron Miller, Timothy Rasinski
NIST Handbook 150-1, NVLAP Energy Efficient Lighting Products, presents the technical requirements and guidance for the accreditation of laboratories under the NVLAP Energy Efficient Lighting Products LAP. The 2018 revision aligns this handbook with the

NIST Micronutrients Measurement Quality Assurance Program: 1984-1985 Comparability Studies Results for Round Robins I, II, III and V Fat Soluble Vitamins and Carotenoids in Human Serum

February 8, 2019
Author(s)
Jeanice M. Brown Thomas, David L. Duewer, Margaret C. Kline, William A. MacCrehan, Robert Paule, Reenie Parris, Willie May, Robert Schaffer
From 1984 to 2017, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and its precursor the National Burearu of Standards (NBS) coordinated what became the Micronutrients Measurement Quality Assurance Program (MMQAP) for laboratories that measure

Proceedings of the First Workshop on Standards for Microfluidics

January 28, 2019
Author(s)
Darwin R. Reyes-Hernandez, Henne van Heeren
In the last two decades, the microfluidics/lab-on-a-chip field has evolved from the concept of micro total analysis systems, where systems with integrated pretreatment and analysis of chemicals were envisioned, to what is known today as lab-on-a-chip
