Clarke, Norma Breen, Christine Simpson, Christopher T. Sempos
An interlaboratory study was conducted through the Vitamin D Standardization Program (VDSP) to assess commutability of Standard Reference Materials® (SRMs) and proficiency testing/external quality assessment (PT/EQA) samples for determination of serum

Super-Ancillary Equations for Cubic Equations of State

June 29, 2021
Author(s)
Ian Bell, Ulrich K. Deiters
Calculation of thermodynamic phase equilibrium is error-prone and can fail both near the critical point and at very low temperatures because of the limited precision available in double precision arithmetic. Most importantly, these calculations frequently

Survey of Data and Models for Refrigerant Mixtures Containing Halogenated Olefins

June 1, 2021
Author(s)
Ian Bell, Demian Riccardi, Ala Bazyleva, Mark O. McLinden
We survey existing data for refrigerant blends containing halogenated olefins (hydrofluoroolefins (HFO), hydrochlorofluoroolefins (HCFO), and hydrochloroolefins (HCO)) in the open literature. The data are primarily taken from the NIST SOURCE database and

Catalyst Enabled in Situ Linkage Reduction in Imine Covalent Organic Frameworks
