A total of nine localized fire tests on steel beams were designed and conducted in the National Fire Research Laboratory as part of its commissioning project, including thermal tests (Tests 1 through 5) and four-point bending test at ambient (Test 6) and elevated temperatures (Tests 7 through 9). All the tested specimens were nominally 6.2-m long W16×26 beams made of ASTM A992 steel. Each specimen was supported by one of the two following connections: (i) simple support (Tests 1 through 8), and (ii) double-angles bolted to laterally braced support columns (Test 9).

This is tomography data as acquired using a commercial X-ray tomography instrument. We obtained reconstructions of a graded-index optical fiber with voxels of edge length 1.05 µm at 12 tube voltages. The fiber manufacturer created a graded index in the central region by varying the germanium concentration from a peak value in the center of the core to a very small value at the core-cladding boundary. Operating on 12 tube voltages, we show by a singular value decomposition that there are only two singular vectors with significant weight.

An advanced approach to flexible manufacturing is to move robotic manipulators (also referred to as industrial arms), using an AGV or mobile robot, between workstations. This integrated system is referred to as a mobile manipulator. Prior to industrial acceptance and standards development for mobile manipulators, users of these new systems will expect manufacturers to provide real performance data to guide their procurement and assure suitability for given application tasks.

This project involves the analysis and modeling of individual urban atmospheric dust particles using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDX), focused ion-beam (FIB) tomography, 3-D reconstructions of the particles, and the discrete dipole approximation method for calculating particle optical properties. The particles are heterogeneous in that they have multiple chemical phases.

Annual Resident Population Estimates by Age Group, Sex, Race, and Hispanic Origin: April 1, 2010 to July 1, 2016 // Source: U.S. Census Bureau, Population Division // The contents of this file are released on a rolling basis from December through June. // Note: 'In combination' means in combination with one or more other races. The sum of the five race-in-combination groups adds to more than the total population because individuals may report more than one race. Hispanic origin is considered an ethnicity, not a race. Hispanics may be of any race.

The NIST Chemistry WebBook provides users with easy access to chemical and physical property data for chemical species through the internet. The data provided in the site are from collections maintained by the NIST Standard Reference Data Program and outside contributors. Data in the WebBook system are organized by chemical species. The WebBook system allows users to search for chemical species by various means. Once the desired species has been identified, the system will display data for the species.
