Assessment of Radiation Solver of Fire Simulation Models Using RADNNET-ZM

September 13, 2019
Author(s)
Wai Cheong Tam, Walter W. Yuen
The paper presents a neural-network based zonal method (RADNNET-ZM) for the analysis of radiative heat transfer in an arbitrary Cartesian enclosure with an isothermal, inhomogeneous, non-gray medium. The model accounts for the non-gray effect of absorbing

Author(s)
Albert Davydov, Sergiy Krylyuk, Kyle J. DiCamillo, Makarand Paranjape, Wendy Shi
An automated technique is presented for mechanically exfoliating single-layer and few-layer transition metal dichalcogenides using controlled shear and normal forces imposed by a parallel plate rheometer. A thin sample that is removed from bulk MoS2 or

Face Recognition Vendor Test (FRVT) Part 2: Identification

September 13, 2019
Author(s)
Patrick Grother, Mei Ngan, Kayee Hanaoka
This report updates and extends NIST Interagency Report 8238, documenting performance of new face recognition algorithms submitted for evaluation to NIST in November 2018. The algorithms implement one-to-many identification of faces appearing in two-

HEXRD Measurement of Strain and Dislocation Density ahead of Crack Tips Grown in Hydrogen

September 13, 2019
Author(s)
Matthew J. Connolly, May L. Martin, Peter E. Bradley, Damian S. Lauria, Andrew J. Slifka, Jun Sang Park, Robert Amaro
The deformation fields near fatigue crack tips grown in hydrogen and in air were measured using high-energy x-ray diffraction. A larger magnitude of elastic strain was observed in the hydrogen case compared to the air case. The magnitude of elastic strain

On Correlating Mixed Forest Fuel Bed Fire Spread Data

September 13, 2019
Author(s)
Jiann C. Yang
Mixing rules are proposed and used to correlate well-mixed forest fuel bed fire spread data from the literature using the dimensionless correlations previously developed for single-species forest fuel bed fire spread with the help of dimensional analysis

System Level Evaluation of UE-to-Network Relays in D2D-enabled LTE Networks

September 13, 2019
Author(s)
Samantha M. Gamboa Quintiliani, Raghav Thanigaivel, Richard A. Rouil
The 3rd Generation Partnership Program (3GPP) introduced UE-to-Network Relays in Long Term Evolution (LTE) Release 13. This technology leverages Proximity Services (ProSe), i.e., the LTE Device-to-device (D2D) communication functionality, to provide user

Thin Filament Pyrometry Field Measurements in a Medium-Scale Pool Fire.

September 13, 2019
Author(s)
Zhigang Wang, Andy Tam, Jian Chen, Ki Y. Lee, Anthony Hamins
This paper presents the development of a thin filament pyrometry method to characterize the time- varying temperature field in a medium-scale pool fire in a quiescent environment. A digital camera with optical filters and zoom lens was used to record the

A photonic pH sensor based on photothermal spectroscopy

September 12, 2019
Author(s)
Zeeshan Ahmed, Nathan J. Castro, Matthew R. Hartings
Although the determination of pH is a standard laboratory measurement, new techniques capable of measuring pH are being developed to facilitate modern technological advances. Bio-industrial processing, tissue engineering, and intracellular environments

Global alignment of solution-based single-wall carbon nanotube films via machine-vision controlled filtration

September 11, 2019
Author(s)
Jeffrey A. Fagan, Angela R. Hight Walker, Adam J. Biacchi, Joshua S. Walker, William D. Rice, Thomas Searles, Valerie A. Kuehl
Over the past decade, substantial progress has been made in the chemical processing (chiral enrichment, length sorting, handedness selectivity, and filling substance) of single- wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). Recently, it was shown that large

Yang Yu, Pinar Karayaylali, Stanislaw Nowak, Livia Giordano, Magali Gauthier, Wesley Hong, Ronghui Kuo, John Vinson, Dimosthenis Sokaras, Cheng-Jun Sun, Nenian Charles, Filippo Maglia, Roland Jung, Yang Shao-Horn
Anion redox in lithium transition metal oxides such as Li2RuO3 and Li2MnO3, has catalyzed intensive research efforts on the seek of first-row transition metal oxides that may boost up the energy density for lithium-ion batteries. The physical origin for

Low-Power Wide Area Networks (LPWAN) for Communications of Mobile Sensor Data

September 10, 2019
Author(s)
Sebastian Barillaro, Sokwoo Rhee, Raghu N. Kacker, Mark L. Badger, David R. Kuhn, Gustavo Escudero
There are multiple options for communication of data to and from mobile sensors. For tracking systems, Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) is often used for localization and mobile- phone technologies are used for transmission of data. Low-power wide

A Multi-Laboratory Investigation of Drug Background Levels

September 9, 2019
Author(s)
Edward R. Sisco, Marcela N. Najarro
Identifying, quantifying, and analyzing the drug background in operational environments such as forensic laboratories is an emerging body of research. Understanding these levels can provide critical information to address issues like occupational exposure
