Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have developed a new statistical tool that they have used to predict protein function.
X-ray stage mapping (XSM) can be used to determine the extent of heterogeneity on the micron scale though it is more time consuming and not as accurate as the more rigorous NIST random-point (RP) testing procedure. The objective of this work is to demonstrate the advantage of the latter procedure
Using the NIST radiometer as a test bed, we studied the stability of temperature measurements for infrequent calibrations and developed stability metrics. We developed models to simulate output temperatures from the NIST radiometer, thus enabling the study of radiometer output without having to
DESCRIPTION: The major research goal is the accurate prediction of field performance metrics from accurate characterization of mineralogical composition and texture. Compounding characterization and prediction problems is the widespread reliance since the 1930's on the Bogue estimates of composition
The low cost and simple configuration of the test have made it a common requirement in codes for critical structures. However, the test is not useful if the variation in test results between laboratories is not tightly controlled. The control is accomplished by requiring the indirect verification of
