Staff of the Semiconductor Electronics Division, the Information Technology Laboratory, and the Precision Engineering Laboratory at NIST, in collaboration with
In preparation for the Hassler memorial tablet dedication in the NIST Administration Building lobby in December of 2004, I learned that Ferdinand Rudolf Hassler
During the last ten years, research in lightpipe radiation thermometry has significantly reduced the uncertainties for temperature measurements in semiconductor
Rayleigh's pseudo-vectorial theory of the diffraction of polarized light by apertures which are small compared to the wavelength of light is analyzed with
We consider the problem of solving least squares problems involving a matrix M of small displacement rank with respect to two matrices Z1 and Z2. We develop
This front matter for a special issue of the NIST Journal of Research contains a photograph and biography of Christoph Witzgall. It also contains a thank you
We begin this expository essay by reviewing with examples what a typical engineer already knows about statistics. We then consider a central question in
A scheme is presented and software is documented for representing as integers input decimal numbers that have been stored in a computer as double precision
We survey three ways to multiply elements of the additive subgroup of the group of real--valued functions on Rd which is generated by the indicator functions of

A new reference material (RM), RM 8504, has been prepared for use as a diluent oil with Aroclors in transformer oil Standard Reference Materials (SRMs) 3075
Rydberg spectral lines of an atom are sometimes superimposed on the continuous spectrum of a different configuration. Effects of interaction among different
The 'median' method for the reduction of the effect of noise and trigger jitter on waveform data is described. The effectiveness of this method was examined

We compute classical trajectories of ultracold neutrons (UCNs) in a superconducting Ioffe-type magnetic trap using a symplectic integration method. We find that
The curve-based method was evaluated based on performance predictions for nine mixed systems, which were also tested by an independent testing laboratory

This paper addresses the existence of Hamiltonian paths and cycles in two-dimensional grids consisting of triangles or quadrilaterals, and three-dimensional

External sulfate attack of concrete is a major problem that can appear in regions where concrete is exposed to soil or water containing sulfates, leading to
The uncertainties of the mean diameters of the 1.0 micrometer SRM 1690 polystyrene spheres and of the 0.3 micrometer SRM 1691 polystyrene spheres are recomputed

The slip correction factor has been investigated at reduced pressures and high Knudsen number using polystyrene latex (PSL) particles. Nano-differential
After nearly 30 years of continuous operation, NIST ended its Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES) time code service at 0 hours, 0 minutes
A lattice metric singualrity occurs when unit cells defining two (or more) lattices yield the identical set of unique calculated d-spacings. The existence of
Oxidative DNA damage results from reactions of oxygen-derived species including free radicals, most notable hydroxyl radical, with the four heterocyclic bases
