Gradual Release of Strongly-Bound Nitric Oxide from Fe 2 (NO) 2 (dobdc)

February 24, 2015
Author(s)
Eric D. Bloch, Wendy L. Queen, Sachin Chavan, Paul S. Wheatley, Joseph M. Zadrozny, Russell E. Morris, Craig Brown, Carlo Lamberti, Silvia Bordiga, Jeffrey R. Long
An iron-based metal-organic framework featuring coordinatively-unsaturated redox-active metal cation sites, Fe 2(dobdc) (dobdc 4- = 1,4-dioxido-2,5-benzenedicarboxylate), is shown to strongly bond nitric oxide at 298 K. Adsorption isotherms indicate an

Infrared Optical Properties of Materials

February 24, 2015
Author(s)
Simon G. Kaplan, Leonard M. Hanssen, Raju V. Datla
This document describes the Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrophotometry (FTIS) Facility at the Sensor Science Division (SSD) of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to provide the infrared optical properties of materials (IROPM)

Risk Management for Replication Devices

February 23, 2015
Author(s)
Kelley L. Dempsey, Celia Paulsen
This publication provides guidance on protecting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information processed, stored, or transmitted on replication devices (RDs). It suggests appropriate countermeasures in the context of the System

Application of NMR-based Metabolomics for Environmental Assessment in the Great Lakes using Zebra Mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) polymorpha)

February 21, 2015
Author(s)
Miki Watanabe, Katherine Meyer, Tyler Jackson, Tracey Johnston, Ed Johnson, Dan Bearden
Zebra mussel, Dreissena polymorpha, in the Great Lakes is being monitored as a bio-indicator organism for environmental health effects by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Mussel Watch program. In order to monitor the environmental

Time-Aware Applications, Computers, and Communication Systems (TAACCS)

February 21, 2015
Author(s)
Marc A. Weiss, John Eidson, Charles Barry, David Broman, Bob Iannucci, Edward A. Lee, Kevin Stanton, Sr, Leon Goldin
A new economy built on the massive growth of endpoints on the internet will require precise and verifiable timing in ways that current systems do not support. Applications, computers, and communications systems have been developed with modules and layers

Photon-noise limited sensitivity in titanium nitride kinetic inductance detectors

February 20, 2015
Author(s)
Johannes Hubmayr, James A. Beall, Daniel T. Becker, Hsiao-Mei Cho, Gene C. Hilton, Dale Li, David P. Pappas, Jeffrey L. Van Lanen, Mark Devlin, Kent D. Irwin, Chris Groppi, Phillip Mauskopf
We demonstrate photon-noise limited performance at sub-millimeter wavelengths in microwave kinetic inductance detectors (MKIDs) made of a new superconducting material, a TiN/Ti/TiN trilayer film. Optical coupling is achieved by use of feedhorns, a standard

Evaluation of Low-Contrast Detectability of Iterative Reconstruction across Multiple Institutions, CT Scanner Manufacturers, and Radiation Exposure Levels

February 19, 2015
Author(s)
Adele P. Peskin, Ganesh Saiprasad, James J. Filliben, Alden A. Dima
Purpose: To evaluate the impact of Iterative Reconstruction (IR) compared with Filtered Back Projection (FBP) using low-contrast objects in phantom images across vendors and exposure levels. Materials and Methods: Randomized repeat scans of the Gammex 464

Mobile Device Tool Testing

February 19, 2015
Author(s)
Richard Ayers
The Computer Forensic Tool Testing program at NIST has spent several years researching and testing forensic tools capable of acquiring data from the internal memory of mobile devices and Subscriber Identity Modules (SIMs). Test reports provide a foundation

Optimizing the Location Deployment of Dynamic Mobile Base Stations

February 19, 2015
Author(s)
Sulabh Bhattarai, Sixiao Wei, Stephen Rook, Wei Yu, David W. Griffith, Nada T. Golmie
There has been growing interest over the past few years in the US and around the world to build reliable, robust, and interoperable public safety broadband networks for emergency and disaster response. In this paper, we propose a low-cost, dynamic

The Office of Weights and Measures Proposes Revisions to the Method of Sale for Animal Bedding and Recommends New Test Procedures and Test Measures for Use in Verifying the Quantity Declarations on Packages of Peat Moss and Animal Bedding

February 19, 2015
Author(s)
Kenneth S. Butcher
Animal Bedding (bedding), also called pet or stall bedding, litter or simply bedding, is generally sold by dry volume in compressed or uncompressed packages. Based on numerous failed inspections of packaged animal bedding, the Office of Weights and

Bisphenol A leads to oxidative DNA damage and alters the damage response in mouse fibroblasts

February 18, 2015
Author(s)
Pawel Jaruga, Natalie R. Gassman, Erdem Coskun, Donna F. Stefanick, Julie K. Horton, M Miral Dizdar, Samuel H. Wilson
Metabolism of bisphenol A (BPA) generates reactive oxygen species causing DNA strand breaks and damaged DNA bases. Base excision repair (BER) is responsible for removing oxidatively induced DNA base lesions and for repairing single strand breaks (SSBs)

Long-Term Stability of UHMWPE Fibers

February 18, 2015
Author(s)
Amanda L. Forster, Aaron M. Forster, Joannie W. Chin, Chiao-Chi Lin, Sylvain H. Petit, Kai-Li Kang, Nicholas G. Paulter Jr., Michael A. Riley, Kirk D. Rice
The superior performance of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fi bers is predicated on the development of a highly aligned molecular structure that allows the polymer to exhibit a superior strength in the axial direction of the fi ber. Body armor

Position-dependent spin-orbit coupling for ultracold atoms

February 18, 2015
Author(s)
Ian B. Spielman, Shih Wei Su, Shih-Chuan Gou, Ihe-Kau Liu, Luis Santos, Arturas Acus, Algirdas Mekys, Gediminas Juzeliunas
We theoretically explore atomic Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) subject to position-dependent spin-orbit coupling (SOC). This SOC can be produced by cyclically Raman coupling four internal atomic ground (or metastable) states in an environment where the

Smoke Characterization and Feasibility of the Moment Method for Spacecraft Fire Detection

February 17, 2015
Author(s)
Jiann C. Yang, Thomas G. Cleary, George W. Mulholland, Marit Meyer, Victoria Bryg, D L. Urban, Zeng-guang Yuan, Gary A. Ruff
The Smoke Aerosol Measurement Experiment (SAME) has been conducted twice by NASA and provided the first real-time aerosol data in a spacecraft micro-gravity environment. Flight experiment results have recently been analyzed with respect to comparable
