Proposed E57.02 Range Measurement Performance Standard for Medium Range 3D Imaging Systems

November 11, 2013
Author(s)
David MacKinnon, Luc Cournoyer, Kamel Saidi, Geraldine Cheok, Robert Bridges, Darin Ingimarson
We present the proposed standard ASTM E57.02 "Test Method to Evaluate the Range Measurement Performance of 3D Imaging Systems in the Medium Range" (Work Item ASTM WK12373). The stated purpose of the standard is to provide metrics and procedures to evaluate

Determination of carbon was achieved with reduction of background in prompt gamma activation analysis.

Application of a Natural Ventilation System Design Tool To A School Building

November 8, 2013
Author(s)
Steven J. Emmerich, William S. Dols, Brian J. Polidoro
A software tool to aid in the design of natural ventilation systems has recently been udpated. This update implements a general method for sizing of natural ventilation components, which allows direct consideration of stack and wind-driven airflow. The

Dielectrophoretic Trapping of P19 Cells on Indium Tin Oxide based Microelectrode Arrays

November 8, 2013
Author(s)
Aveek Gangopadhyay, Saugandhika Minnikanti, Darwin Reyes-Hernandez, Mulpuri V. Rao, Nathalia Peixoto
A microfabricated device comprised of a microelectrode array (MEA) and a microfluidic channel is presented here for the purpose of trapping cells using positive dielectrophoresis (DEP). Transparent indium tin oxide (ITO) electrodes are patterned in an

Dissecting Interactions Among Indoor Environmental Quality Factors

November 8, 2013
Author(s)
Hal Levin, Steven Emmerich
Many aspects of indoor environmental quality (IEQ) and the technologies that control or otherwise affect it are interactive and often closely connected. This has important implications for the design and construction of buildings as well as for operation

Electrodeposition of Ternary Pt_(100-x-y)Co_(x)Ni_(y) Alloys

November 7, 2013
Author(s)
Carlos M. Hangarter, Yihua Y. Liu, D. Pagonis, Ugo Bertocci, Thomas P. Moffat
Electrodeposition of ternary Pt_(100-x-y)Co_(x)Ni_(y) alloy films and the respective Pt binary alloys were examined and compared to the characteristics of the constituent elements. The potential dependence of alloy composition, structure and deposition

Fault Localization Based on Failure-Inducing Combinations

November 7, 2013
Author(s)
Raghu N. Kacker
Combinatorial testing has been shown to be a very effective testing strategy. After a failure is detected, the next task is to identify the actual fault that causes the failure. In this paper, we present an approach to fault localization that leverages the

Microsensor Analyses for Trace Targets over Extended Times in a Simulated Martian Environment

November 6, 2013
Author(s)
Kurt D. Benkstein, Phillip H. Rogers, Christopher B. Montgomery, Stephen Semancik, C. Jin, Baranidharan Raman
We have studied the performance of a chemical microsensor array in a simulated Martian environment, which involved a carbon dioxide-rich background with low oxygen content (0.15 %) at low pressure and temperature to mimic the conditions at the Martian

Electron Energy Loss Function of Silicene and Germanene Multilayers on Silver

November 4, 2013
Author(s)
Anna L. Rast, Vinod K. Tewary
We calculate electron energy loss spectra (EELS) for composite plasmonic structures based on silicene and germanene. A continued-fraction expression for the effective dielectric function is used to perform multiscale calculations of EELS for both silicene

November 4, 2013
Author(s)
Kevin B. McGrattan, Randall J. McDermott, Craig G. Weinschenk, Glenn P. Forney
This document provides the theoretical basis for the Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS), following the general framework set forth in the “Standard Guide for Evaluating the Predictive Capability of Deterministic Fire Models,” ASTM E 1355. It is a four volume

Model Based Enterprise Summit Report

This report summarizes the presentations, discussions, and recommendations from the Model-Based Enterprise Summit held at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in December of 2012. The purpose of the Summit was to identify challenges, research

Spin-Wave Propagation in the Presence of Interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya Interaction

November 4, 2013
Author(s)
Jung-Hwan Moon, Soo-Man Seo, Kyung Jin Lee, Kyoung-Whan Kim, Jisu Ryu, Hyun-Woo Lee, Robert McMichael, Mark D. Stiles
In ferromagnetic thin films, broken inversion symmetry and spin-orbit coupling give rise to interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions. Analytic expressions for spin-wave properties show that the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction leads to non

Unaware Person Recognition from the Body when Face Identification Fails

November 4, 2013
Author(s)
P J. Phillips, Rice Allyson, Vaidehi Natu, Xiabo An, Alice O'Toole
How do we recognize someone when the face fails? We show that people rely on the body, but are unaware of this. State-of-the-art face recognition algorithms were used to select images of people with no useful identity information in the face. Human

What's in a Name

November 4, 2013
Author(s)
Ursula R. Kattner
In the early days of alloy phase diagrams phases were named using Greek letters in unary systems, from lower temperatures to higher temperatures, and in binary systems from the left to the right hand side of the system. This convenient convention allows
