The NIST Office of Weights and Measures (OWM) hosts a series of Information Hours, or "Info Hours," that feature insights on topics relevant to legal metrology and documentary standards through an informal technical discussion and Question and Answer forum. In this week's session, NIST OWM’s Isabel Chavez Baucom provides an update on OWM’s efforts to transition NIST publications into SMART standards. 

The NIST Office of Weights and Measures (OWM) routinely hosts Lab Metrology Information Hours, or "LMIH," that feature insights on topics relevant to legal lab metrology and documentary standards through an informal technical discussion and Question and Answer forum. In this week's session, NIST’s Kevin Chesnutwood presents the latest updates to the Consensus Value for the Redefinition of the Kilogram.

The NIST Office of Weights and Measures (OWM) hosts a series of Information Hours, or "Info Hours," that feature insights on topics relevant to legal metrology and documentary standards through an informal technical discussion and Question and Answer forum. In this week's session, NIST OWM’s Jan Konijnenburg provides a short introduction to EU regulations with respect to legal metrology for U.S. stakeholders, especially U.S. manufacturers.

This data publication provides supporting data for the paper "Correlation of Fe(II) spin state with Born effective charge and dielectric properties in [Fe(ptz)_6](BF_4)_2: a DFT study" by Eric Cockayne. The crystal structures and the input parameters used for the density functional theory (DFT) calculations on rhombohedral high-spin and low-spin [Fe(ptz)_6](BF_4)_2 are provided.

A machine-readable database of characterization data for high-performance fibers used in body armor, aerospace, and related composite applications. FRC3 consolidates datasets from multiple independent studies, spanning about 20 years of testing across para-aramid, ultra-high molar mass polyethylene, liquid crystal polyester, polyamide, carbon, cellulose, and polybenzobisoxazole fibers. Data include single-fiber tensile testing, yarn tensile  testing, ballistic V50 results, molar-mass distribution measurements, and spectroscopic degradation tracking.

The Outdoor Recreation Satellite Account measures the economic activity as well as the sales or receipts generated by outdoor recreational activities, such as fishing and RVing. These statistics also measure each industry's production of outdoor goods and services and its contribution to U.S. GDP. Industry breakdowns of outdoor employment and compensation are also included.

These tables present a sequence of accounts that relate production, income and spending, capital formation, financial transactions, and asset revaluations to changes in net worth between balance sheets for the major sectors of the U.S. economy.

The Travel and Tourism Satellite Account measures how much tourists spend and the prices they pay for lodging, airfare, souvenirs, and other travel-related items. These statistics also provide a snapshot of employment in the travel and tourism industries.

The ARts and Cultural Production Satellite Account highlights the economic impact of music groups, museums, photography, and more, including contributions to GDP, output, employment, and compensation. These data also include supporting arts industries, such as broadcasting and manufacturing.

BEA's industry accounts are used extensively by policymakers and businesses to understand industry interactions, productivity trends, and the changing structure of the U.S. economy.
