Mobile Application Security Exercise (MASE): Final Report

May 22, 2018
Author(s)
Michael A. Ogata
Mobile applications have become an integral part in the mission of the federal government and public safety. There exist many techniques that seek to assure these applications are free from software bugs and vulnerabilities. However, a unified list of

Revision of the ionization energy of neutral carbon

May 22, 2018
Author(s)
W L. Glab, Haris Kunari, Alexander Kramida
This publication describes a re-analysis of previously published data on neutral carbon (C I) utilizing critically examined and improved values for the line energies of the absorption spectrum of molecular iodine to calibrate the transition energies of C I

Structure and Dynamics of a Graphene Melt

May 22, 2018
Author(s)
Jack F. Douglas, Sinan Keten, Fernando Vargas-Lara, Wenjie Xia
We show by molecular dynamics simulation that bulk materials composed of graphene nanosheets exhibit fluid-like properties similar to linear polymer melts at elevated temperatures and that these materials transform into a glassy or “foam” state at low

A portable cold 87Rb atomic clock with frequency instability at one day in the 10 -15 range

May 21, 2018
Author(s)
Joshua J. Savory, F G. Ascarrunz, L I. Ascarrunz, Alessandro L. Banducci, M C. Delgado Aramburo, Y Dudin, Steven R. Jefferts
We present a small portable cold 87Rubidium atomic clock with frequency uncertainty of less than 𝟑 × 𝟏𝟎 −𝟏𝟓 in one day of averaging time. The clock is under development at SpectraDynamics for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Portable

Effect of Local Oscillator Performance on UWB Based Indoor Localization System

May 21, 2018
Author(s)
Archita Hati, Fabio C. Da Silva, Vladislav P. Gerginov, Craig W. Nelson
We discuss the performance of a commercial Ultra-wideband (UWB) ranging technique for indoor localization. We study the influence of local oscillator's phase noise and its frequency drifts due to temperature variations on the range estimation and ranging

Emerging investigators in materials science 2017-2018

May 21, 2018
Author(s)
Frank W. DelRio, Robert Riggleman
Materials Research Express is a multidisciplinary journal devoted to publishing cutting-edge experimental and theoretical research on the processing, structure, properties, and performance of all classes of materials, with an emphasis on the following

Guide to Industrial Wireless Systems Deployments

May 21, 2018
Author(s)
Richard Candell, Mohamed T. Hany, Kang B. Lee, Yongkang Liu, Jeanne T. Quimby, Catherine A. Remley
This document is intended to be a practical guide used by engineers and managers facilitating them to go through the process of defining the objectives of their wireless systems and examining the environments where the wireless systems are to be deployed

NIST Micronutrients Measurement Quality Assurance Program: Spring and Fall 1987 Comparability Studies-Results for Round Robins IX and XI Fat-Soluble Vitamins and Carotenoids in Human Serum

May 21, 2018
Author(s)
Jeanice M. Brown Thomas, David L. Duewer, Margaret C. Kline, Willie May, Emil Schonberger
From 1984 to 2017, the National Institute of Standards and Technology coordinated the Micronutrients Measurement Quality Assurance Program (MMQAP) for laboratories that measure fat- soluble vitamins and carotenoids in human serum and plasma. This report

Literature Review of Metal Additive Manufacturing Defects

May 17, 2018
Author(s)
Felix H. Kim, Shawn P. Moylan
Additive manufacturing (AM) is a revolutionary manufacturing technique, which is expected to reshape the future manufacturing industries. While various materials are used in AM, metal AM is expected to provide a high impact to the industries by producing

Superconducting optoelectronic networks V: networks and scaling

May 17, 2018
Author(s)
Jeffrey M. Shainline, Jeffrey T. Chiles, Sonia M. Buckley, Adam N. McCaughan, Richard P. Mirin, Sae Woo Nam
Networks of superconducting optoelectronic neurons are investigated for their near-term technological potential and long-term physical limitations. Networks with short average path length, high clustering coefficient, and power-law degree distribution are

Characterization of Five-Hole Probes used for Flow Measurement in Stack Emission Testing

May 16, 2018
Author(s)
Iosif Isaakovich Shinder, Aaron Johnson, Michael R. Moldover, James Filla, Vladimir Khromchenko
We report progress towards the goal of reducing the errors in industrial smokestack flow measurements to 1 % by replacing S-probes with calibrated 3-D probes (i.e., probes that measure 3 components of velocity). NIST calibrated a commercially-manufactured

Controlling Pore Shape and Size of Interpenetrated Anion-Pillared Ultramicroporous Materials Enables Molecular Sieving of CO 2 Combined with Ultrahigh Uptake Capacity

May 16, 2018
Author(s)
Mengdie Jiang, Bin Li, Xili Cui, Qiwei Yang, Zongbi Bao, Yiwen Yang, Hui Wu, Wei Zhou, Banglin Chen, Huabin Xing
The separation of carbon dioxide (CO 2) from hydrocarbons is a critical process for the production of clean energy and high-purity chemicals. Adsorption based on molecular sieving is an energy-saving separation process; however most of molecular sieves

Predicting structural properties of fluids by thermodynamic extrapolation

May 16, 2018
Author(s)
Nathan Mahynski, Sally Jiao, Harold W. Hatch, Marco A. Blanco Medina, Vincent K. Shen
We describe a methodology for extrapolating the structural properties of multicomponent fluids from one thermodynamic state to another. These properties generally include features of a system that may be computed from an individual configuration such as

Progress Towards Accurate Monitoring of Flue Gas Emissions

May 16, 2018
Author(s)
Aaron Johnson, Iosif Isaakovich Shinder, Michael R. Moldover, Joey Boyd, James Filla
The amounts of CO2 and other pollutants emitted by a coal-fired power plant are measured using a continuous emissions monitoring system (CEMS) permanently installed in the exhaust smokestack. The pollutant flux is the product of the pollutant's

Superconformal Nickel Deposition in Through Silicon Vias: Experiment and Prediction
