Due to socio-economic and climatic changes around the world, large outdoor fires in the built environment have become one of the global issues that threaten billions of people. The devastating effects of them are indicative of weaknesses in existing

Design and Implementation of a Closed-Loop Mobile Manipulator Control System

July 28, 2023
Author(s)
Omar Aboul-Enein, Ya-Shian Li-Baboud, Roger Bostelman, Ann Virts
Mobile manipulators, which integrate a robotic manipulator with an automatic--autonomous mobile base, have the potential to augment automation by combining the capability of navigation with complex manipulation to support unstructured and dynamic

Non-nulling Protocols for Fast, Accurate, 3-D Velocity Measurements in Stacks

July 28, 2023
Author(s)
Iosif Isaakovich Shinder, Aaron Johnson, James Filla, Vladimir B. Khromchenko, Michael R. Moldover, Joey Boyd, John D. Wright, John R. Stoup
We present protocols for making fast, accurate, 3-D velocity measurements in the stacks of coal-fired power plants. The measurements are traceable to internationally-recognized standards; therefore, they provide a rigorous basis for measuring and/or

November 2022 NIST Premise Plumbing Research Workshop: Summary and Findings

Author(s)
Andrew K. Persily, Marylia Duarte Batista, William M. Healy, Mark A. Kedzierski, Lingnan Lin, Natascha S. Milesi-Ferretti, Tania Ullah, David A. Yashar, Stephen Zimmerman
Premise plumbing systems need to meet a range of performance goals including occupant health and comfort, energy and water efficiency, and reduced environmental impacts. Pressures to improve water efficiency and building water quality, combined with the

Redundant Ballistic Chronograph Configuration for Body Armor Testing

July 28, 2023
Author(s)
Michael A. Riley, Nicholas G. Paulter Jr., Dwight D. Barry
A new configuration of the light screen pairs used in a redundant ballistic chronograph is described. This configuration complies with current ASTM International and National Institute of Justice requirements for measuring the ballistic performance of body

The BETTER Cross-Language Information Retrieval Datasets

July 27, 2023
Author(s)
Ian Soboroff
The IARPA BETTER (Better Extraction from Text Through Enhanced Retrieval) program held three evaluations of information retrieval (IR) and information extraction (IE). For both tasks, the only training data available was in English, but systems had to

CO Reduction on Single-atom Copper

Author(s)
Yuxuan Wang, Hao Shen, Bin Xue, Boyang Li, Nicole Libretto, Han Zong, Wenjun Xie, Ziyuan Li, Guangye Zhou, Jeffrey Vetik, Jeffrey T. Miller, Guofeng Wang, Chao Wang, David Raciti

Quantum Entropic Effects in the Liquid Viscosities of Hydrogen, Deuterium, and Neon

July 26, 2023
Author(s)
Ian Bell, Jacob Leachman, Albert Rigosi, Heather Hill
The extreme conditions have limited the availability and accuracy of experimental thermophys- ical property measurements for cryogens, particularly transport properties. Traditional scaling techniques such as corresponding states theory have long been

A Deep Learning Framework for Industrial Wireless Networks

July 25, 2023
Author(s)
Mohamed Hany, Rick Candell
In this report, we introduce a framework to analyze, monitor, and identify the state of industrial wireless networks and their impact on industrial use cases. This framework is based on a deep learning approach for modeling the interactions between the

CMVP Approved Security Functions

Author(s)
Alexander Calis
The approved security functions listed in this publication replace the ones listed in International Organization for Standardization/International Electrotechnical Commission (ISO/IEC) 19790 Annex C and ISO/IEC 24759 6.15, within the context of the

Engineering Nanopore Approaches toward Protein Sequencing

July 25, 2023
Author(s)
Xiaojun Wei, Tadas Penkauskas, Joseph Reiner, Mark Uline, Qian Wang, Sheng Li, Aleksei Aksimentiev, Joseph Robertson, Chang Liu
Biotechnological innovations have vastly improved the capacity to perform large-scale protein studies, while the methods we have of identifying and quantifying individual proteins are still inadequate to perform protein sequencing at the single-molecule

Introduction to Cybersecurity for Commercial Satellite Operations

July 25, 2023
Author(s)
Matthew Scholl, Theresa Suloway
Space is a newly emerging commercial critical infrastructure sector that is no longer the domain of only national government authorities. Space is an inherently risky environment in which to operate, so cybersecurity risks involving commercial space –

A quantitative theoretical model of the boson peak based on stringlet excitations

July 24, 2023
Author(s)
Jack F. Douglas, Cunyuan Jiang, Matteo Baggioli
The boson peak (BP), a low-energy excess in the vibrational density of states over the phonon Debye contribution, is usually identified as one of the distinguishing features between ordered crystals and amorphous solid materials. Despite decades of efforts

Enabling FAIR Data in Additive Manufacturing to Accelerate Industrialization
