NIST/NBS Fire Research and FRCA: 25 Years of Progress

April 16, 1998
Author(s)
Richard G. Gann
The National Bureau of Standards' Center for Fire Research and the Fire Retardant Chemicals Association were formed within a year of each other. The former has undergone major organizational changes, NBS having become NIST, and fire research now being part

The Surgeon's Assistant

April 14, 1998
Author(s)
K Gallagher, D Wallace, Frederick E. Boland Jr., D W. Binkley, James R. Lyle
The Surgeon's Assistant is a tool for the maintainers of ANSI C programs. Using the Surgeon's Assistant, a software maintainer (a surgeon) can isolate program components for change; assess the impact of contemplated changes on components that are to remain

NIST Reference Radiometry Using Space Station Instrumentation

April 6, 1998
Author(s)
Raju V. Datla, Albert C. Parr, D. B. Pollock, Thomas L. Murdock, E A. Early
There has been a persistent need to provide long-term calibration reliability and assurance of accuracy for space-based sensor performance. The International Space Station (ISS) could serve as a platform from which radiometry based on reference standards

A Fortran 90 Interface for OpenGL: Revised January 1998

April 1, 1998
Author(s)
William F. Mitchell
It is important to provide a good fortran interface to OpenGL and related libraries for scientific visualization in mathematical software. OpenGL currently provides a fortran interface which can be used by fortran 77 or fortran 90 programs. However, this

A Novel Method to Determine the Mechanical Properties of Ultra-Thin Films

April 1, 1998
Author(s)
Christopher C. White, Wen-Li Wu
Recent experimental results based on x-ray reflectivity, ellipsometry and positron annihilation spectroscopy, etc. have demonstrated that physical properties of polymer films thinner than one micron may deviate significantly from the expected bulk values

Advanced MMI/MP for Demo III XUVs

April 1, 1998
Author(s)
Stephen B. Balakirsky, M J. Salonish, S D. Allen, Elena R. Messina, J Salinas
This paper outlines the goals and work accomplished thus far for both the man-machine interface (MMI) and mission planning (MP) elements of the eXperimental Unmanned Vehicle (XUV) program. It is the goal of the XUV program to make available to the user an

Anisotropic Microstructure of Plasma-Sprayed Deposits

April 1, 1998
Author(s)
J Ilavsky, Gabrielle G. Long, Andrew J. Allen, L Leblanc, M Prystay, C Moreau, Alan H. Band
The microstructure of plasma-sprayed deposits [PSD] is dominated by two void systems-interlamellar pores and intralamellar cracks - each with a different anisotropy. Varying anisotropies and crack-to-pore ratios within PSDs are responsible for the

Automation Infrastructure System for a Robotic 30-Ton Bridge Crane

April 1, 1998
Author(s)
William C. Stone, L E. Pfeffer
This paper describes the sensing portion of a system used to convert an existing 30-ton high bay bridge crane to computer control for automated placement of construction components. The system is being designed to permit either telepresent or fully

Careers in Government: Bench Scientist to Policy Wonk

April 1, 1998
Author(s)
K B. Gebbie
The U.S. system for graduate education in physics is arguably the most effective system yet devised for advanced training in physics. Focused as it is on original research, it teaches students to identify significant problems, study them in depth, and

Cargo Container Transfer Requirements for the Mobile Offshore Base

April 1, 1998
Author(s)
Roger V. Bostelman, Kenneth R. Goodwin
The purpose of this requirements statement is to serve as a guideline to Mobile Offshore Base (MOB) concept developers, so that cargo handling requirements are fully considered and addressed in the development of concepts and preliminary designs. These

Critical Compilation of Atomic Wavelength and Energy Level Data

April 1, 1998
Author(s)
William C. Martin, J Sugar, Arlene Musgrove, Craig J. Sansonetti, Jean E. Sansonetti, Edward B. Saloman, V I. Azarov, Alexander Kramida, A N. Ryabtsev, T Shirai
The Atomic Energy Levels Data Center at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), in cooperation with other laboratories indicated above, is critically evaluating and compiling energy levels, wavelengths, and energy level classifications
