Low-Level (Submicromole) Environmental 14 C Metrology

October 1, 2000
Author(s)
Lloyd A. Currie, J D. Kessler, J V. Marolf, A. P. McNichol, D R. Stuart, J C. Donoghue, D. J. Donahue, William Burr, D Biddulph
Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS) measurements of environmental 14C have been employed during the past decade at the several micromole level (10's of ug carbon), but advanced research in the atmospheric and marine sciences demands still higher

Managing Digital Libraries for Computer-Aided Design

October 1, 2000
Author(s)
William Regli, V Cicirello
This paper describes our initial efforts to deploy a digital library to support computer-aided collaborative design. At present, this experimental testbed, The Engineering Design Knowledge Repository, is an effort to collect and archive public domain

Material Properties of Titanium Diboride

October 1, 2000
Author(s)
R G. Munro
The physical, mechanical, and thermal properties of polycrystalline TiB 2 are reviewed with an emphasis on the significant dependence of the properties on the density and grain size of the material specimens. By examining the density and grain size

NIST Data Resources for X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy

October 1, 2000
Author(s)
Cedric J. Powell
A short description is given of data resources that are available from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). NIST currently has three databases available: an XPS Database (SRD 20), an Elastic

Optical Tunnel-Trap Detector for Radiometric Measurements

October 1, 2000
Author(s)
John H. Lehman, Christopher L. Cromer
We have designed and evaluated an optical trap detector that is simple to fabricate and convenient to use. The trap geometry is a triangular tube similar to a kaleidoscope, with two photodiodes in place of a mirror on each side. One version incorporates

Power Measurement Standards for High-Power Lasers: Comparison Between the NIST and the PTB

October 1, 2000
Author(s)
Xiaoyu X. Li, Thomas Scott, Christopher L. Cromer, Darryl A. Keenan, Friedhelm Brandt, K. Mstl
We report the results of the first laser high-power measurement comparison between the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB, Germany), and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST, USA). Laser power transfer standards were calibrated

Privilege Management of Mobile Agents

October 1, 2000
Author(s)
Wayne Jansen, Athanasios T. Karygiannis
Most mobile agent systems use internal data structures within an agent to control and specify its security requirements and properties. These structures typically contain authorization information regarding access to computational resources on distributed

Radiometric Calibration History of MOBY/NIST Single Channel Dual Mode Radiometers

October 1, 2000
Author(s)
Bettye C. Johnson, Steven W. Brown, Howard W. Yoon
In 1996, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), with the support of the National Atmospheric and Oceanic Administration (NOAA), designed and built two single channel, dual mode radiometers. The radiometers are used to assess the

Radiometric Characterization and Calibration of the Marine Optical System (MOS) for the Marine Optical Buoy (MOBY) Project

October 1, 2000
Author(s)
C Habauzit, Steven W. Brown, Keith R. Lykke, B. Carol Johnson, M Yarbrough, M Feinholz, D K. Clark
The scientific objective of the Marine Optical Buoy (MOBY) project is to measure the downwelling spectral irradiance, E d, and the upwelling spectral radiance, L u, at various depths in the ocean. From these measurements, other quantities can be derived

Reinforcement of a Self-Setting Calcium Phosphate Cement with Different Fibers

October 1, 2000
Author(s)
Hockin D. Xu, F Eichmiller, Anthony A. Giuseppetti
A water-based calcium phosphate cement (CPC) has been used in a number of medical and dental procedures due to its excellent osteoconductivity and bone replacement capability. However, the low tensile strength of CPC prohibits its use in many unsupported

Resummation of Nonalternating Divergent Perturbative Expansions

October 1, 2000
Author(s)
U Jentschura
A procedure for the resummation of nonalternating divergent perturbation series is described. The prescription combines the Borel transformation with Pade approximations and a special integration contour for the evaluation of a generalized Borel integral

Role of Particles in the Inhibition of Premixed Flames by Iron Pentacarbonyl

October 1, 2000
Author(s)
M D. Rumminger, Gregory T. Linteris
Laser light scattering has been used to investigate particle formation in Fe(CO)5-inhibited premixed flames in order to understand the influence of metal and metal oxide condensation on flame inhibition. In premixed CH4-air flames, particles form early in

SANS Study of Sulfonate End Group Effect on Polystyrene Self-Diffusion

October 1, 2000
Author(s)
S D. Kim, A Klein, L H. Sperling, E M. Boczar, Barry J. Bauer
Film formation from a latex involves interdiffusion of the polymer chains. The interdiffusion behavior of polystyrene with H-ends, one sulfite-end, and two sulfite-ends are compared via small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) and a direct nonradiative energy

Scanning Near-Field Infared Microscopy and Spectroscopy with a Broadband Laser Source

October 1, 2000
Author(s)
Chris A. Michaels, Lee J. Richter, Richard R. Cavanagh, Stephan J. Stranick
Near-field scanning optical microscopy (NSOM) is a powerful tool for the characterization of the optical properties of nanoscale objects, although pervasive artifacts often create difficulties in image interpretation. A three dimensional scanning NSOM
