Cell Contact Guidance in Response to Nanopattern Shape and Height

October 18, 2010
Author(s)
Sheng Lin-Gibson, Jirun Sun, Nancy J. Lin, Jing N. Zhou, Hyun W. Ro, Christopher L. Soles, Marcus T. Cicerone, Yifu Ding
Understanding the correlation between cell contact guidance (CG) and nanoscale surface features is vital in designing advanced medical devices to manipulate cell behaviors. Nanoscale surface features that mimic extracellular matrix are critical

Organic Compounds in the C3H6O3 Family: Microwave Spectrum of cis-cis-Dimethyl Carbonate

October 18, 2010
Author(s)
Francis J. Lovas, David F. Plusquellic, Susanna L. Widicus Weaver, B. A. McGuire, G. A. Blake
Geometry optimization calculations on 13 members of the C3H6O3 family of organic species have been carried out to determine their relative binding energies. Dimethyl carbonate [(CH3)2CO3] is one of the lower energy species in this family, which includes

A Wide Angle Neutron Spin Filter System Using Polarized 3He

October 16, 2010
Author(s)
Changbo Fu, Thomas R. Gentile, Wangchun Chen, Ross Erwin, Shannon M. Watson, Collin L. Broholm, Jose Rodriguez Rivera, Julia Scherschligt, G L. Jones
Polarized 3He neutron spin filters can operate over a wide neutron energy range and provide a large angular acceptance. A compact 3He neutron spin filter system has been developed for the Multi Axis Crystal Spectrometer at the NIST Center for Neutron

Integrated Computational Materials Engineering, CALPHAD and Hans Leo Lukas

October 16, 2010
Author(s)
Ursula R. Kattner, H. J. Seifert
Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) has become one of the new hot topics in materials science and engineering in recent years, and worldwide numerous conferences and symposia have been dedicated to this topic. In the report of the

The Roles of the Mise en Pratique for the Definition of the Kelvin

October 16, 2010
Author(s)
Dean C. Ripple, Richard Davis, Bernd Fellmuth, Joachim Fischer, Graham Machin, Terry Quinn, Peter Steur, Osamu Tamura, David R. White
The mise en pratique (“practical realization”) for the definition of the kelvin (MeP-K) was created by the Consultative Committee for Thermometry (CCT) in 2006 to give practitioners of thermometry a guide to the realization of the kelvin, in accord with

A liquid helium target system for a measurement of parity violation in neutron spin rotation

October 15, 2010
Author(s)
Christopher D. Bass, Tiffany D. Bass, B R. Heckel, C. R. Huffer, Paul R. Huffman, D Luo, D M. Markoff, A M. Micherdzinska, William M. Snow, H E. Swanson, S. C. Walbridge
A liquid helium target system was designed and built to perform a precision measurement of the parity-violating neutron spin rotation in helium due to nucleon-nucleon weak interaction. The measurement employed an orthogonally-crossed neutron polarizer

A New Analysis of the False-Positive Rate of a Bloom Filter

October 15, 2010
Author(s)
Ken Christensen, Allen L. Roginsky, Miguel Jimeno
A Bloom filter is a space-efficient data structure used for probabilistic set membership testing. When testing an object for set membership, a Bloom filter may give a false positive. The analysis of the false positive rate is key to understanding the Bloom

Accurate Measurements of Process Gas Flow with Laminar Flow Meters

October 15, 2010
Author(s)
Thiago Cobu, Robert F. Berg, John D. Wright, Michael R. Moldover
We calibrated three models of commercially-manufactured, laminar flow meters (LFMs) with nitrogen at four pressures (100 kPa, 200 kPa, 300 kPa, and 400 kPa) over a 10:1 flow range using NIST’s primary flow standards and a physical model. Without additional

Application of Inkjet Printing Technology to Produce Test Materials of 1,3,5-Trinitro-1,3,5 Triazcyclohexane for Trace Explosive Analysis

October 15, 2010
Author(s)
Eric S. Windsor, Marcela N. Najarro, Anna N. Bloom, Bruce A. Benner Jr, Robert A. Fletcher, John G. Gillen, Richard Lareau, Inho Cho, Mike Boldmand
The feasibility of using piezoelectric drop-on-demand inkjet printing to prepare test materials for trace explosive analysis is demonstrated. Both pure high explosives and plastic-bonded putty explosives were formulated into inkjet printable solutions and

Bilateral Comparison Confirms NIMs and NISTs Gas Flow Capabilities

October 15, 2010
Author(s)
Aaron N. Johnson, CHUNHUI LI
The bilateral comparison between NIM and NIST for gas flow was conducted from June 2008 to October 2009. Two critical flow venturis (CFVs) with nominal throat diameters of 10 mm and 20 mm, respectively, were selected as transfer standards. The CFVs were

Elemental Analysis of a Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube Candidate Reference Material

October 15, 2010
Author(s)
Rolf L. Zeisler, Rick L. Paul, Rabia Oflaz, Lee L. Yu, Jacqueline L. Mann, William R. Kelly, Brian E. Lang, Stefan D. Leigh, Jeffrey A. Fagan
A material containing single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) together with other carbon species, cata-lyst residues, and trace element contaminants has been prepared by the National Institute of Standards and Technology for characterization and
