Monitoring Techniques for the Net-Zero Energy Residential Test Facility

December 31, 2014
Author(s)
Mark W. Davis, William M. Healy, Matthew Boyd, Lisa Ng, William V. Payne, Harrison Skye, Tania Ullah
NIST has constructed a Net-Zero Energy Residential Test Facility that will be used as a testbed for investigating the measurement science related to systems, components, and operations that will lead to homes that generate as much energy over a course of a

New Ion Source for High Precision FIB Nanomachining and Circuit Edit

December 31, 2014
Author(s)
Adam V. Steele, Brenton Knuffman, Jabez J. McClelland
We present a review of the Low Temperature Ion Source (LoTIS): its aims, design, performance data collected to date, and focused spot size projections when integrated with a FIB. LoTIS provides a Cs+ beam that has been measured to have high brightness (>

Optical Properties of CdSe/ZnS Nanocrystals

December 31, 2014
Author(s)
Paul C. DeRose, Yu-Zhong Zhang, Adolfas Gaigalas
Measurements are presented of the absorbance, fluorescence emission, fluorescence quantum yield, and fluorescence lifetime of CdSe/ZnS nanocrystals, also known as quantum dots (QDs). The study included three groups of nanocrystals whose surfaces were

Quantitative, label-free characterization of stem cell differentiation at the single-cell level by broadband coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering microscopy

December 31, 2014
Author(s)
Marcus T. Cicerone, Young J. Lee, Khaled A. Aamer, Prabhas V. Moghe, Sebastian L. Vega, Parth J. Patel
We use broadband coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (BCARS) microscopy to characterize lineage commitment of individual human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) cultured in adipogenic, osteogenic, and basal culture media. We treat hyperspectral images

Reevaluation of Neutron Flux Characterization Parameters for NIST RT-2 Facility

December 31, 2014
Author(s)
Dagistan Sahin, Vladimir Radulovic, Richard M. Lindstrom, Andrej Trkov
It has been difficult to characterize the thermal to epithermal neutron flux ratio (f) and the measure of the nonideal epithermal neutron flux distribution (α) for the RT-2 pneumatic rabbit facility at the NIST National Bureau of Standards Reactor (NBSR)

ThermoData Engine (TDE) Version 9.0 (Pure Compounds, Binary Mixtures, Ternary Mixtures, and Chemical Reactions); NIST Standard Reference Database 103b

Michael D. Frenkel, Robert D. Chirico, Vladimir Diky, Kenneth Kroenlein, Chris Muzny, Andrei F. Kazakov, Joe W. Magee, Ilmutdin M. Abdulagatov, Eric Lemmon, Jeongwon Kang
The ThermoData Engine is a software expert systems implementing the concept of dynamic data evaluation. This new release includes implementation of three important new features: (1)new parameters for the NIST "modified UNIFAC" method for predictions of

A Semantic Framework for Modeling and Simulation of Cyber-physical Systems

December 30, 2014
Author(s)
Parastoo Delgoshaei, Mark Austin, Amanda Pertzborn
This paper describes a new semantic platform infrastructure for model-based systems engineering, requirements traceability, and system simulation and assessment of cyberphysical systems (CPSs). When fully developed this environment will support the

New Modified UNIFAC Parameters using Critically Evaluated Phase Equilibrium Data

December 30, 2014
Author(s)
Jeongwon Kang, Vladimir Diky, Michael D. Frenkel
New modified UNIFAC property prediction model parameters are reported for 89 main groups and 984 group-group interactions using critically evaluated phase equilibrium data including vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE), liquid-liquid equilibrium (LLE), solid

Tailor-Made Polyamide Membranes for Water Desalination

December 30, 2014
Author(s)
Edwin P. Chan, Wansuk Chol, Joona Bang, Jong Suk Lee, Jung-Hyun Lee, Joung-Eun Gu
Independent control over the extrinsic and intrinsic properties of the polyamide selective layer is critical when designing water desalination reverse osmosis (RO) membranes with performance characteristics required for water purification applications

December 30, 2014
Author(s)
Lucy J. Carpenter, Stefan Reimann, Andreas Engel, Stephen Montzka, James B. Burkholder, Cathy Clerbaux, Bradley Hall, Shari A. Yvon-Lewis, Donald R. Blake, Marcel Dorf, Geoffre S. Dutton, Paul J. Fraser, Lucien Froidevaux, Fran?ois Hendrick, Jianxin Hu, Ashley Jones, Paul B. Krummel, Lambert J. Kuijpers, Michael J. Kurylo, Qing Liang, Emmanuel Mahieu, Jens M?hle, Simon O?Doherty, Keiichi Ohnishi, Vladimir L. Orkin, Klaus Pfeilsticker, Matt Rigby, Isobel J. Simpson, Yoko Yokouchi
Changes in the global atmospheric abundance of a substance are determined by the balance between its emissions and removal. Declines observed for ozone-depleting substances (ODSs) controlled under the Montreal Protocol are due to global emission reductions

Deployment-driven Security Configuration for Virtual Networks

December 28, 2014
Author(s)
Ramaswamy Chandramouli
Virtualized Infrastructures are increasingly deployed in many data centers. One of the key components of this virtualized infrastructure is the virtual network - a software-defined communication fabric that links together the various Virtual Machines (VMs)
