Photoshop processing of latent fingerprints is the preferred methodology among law enforcement forensic experts, but that appproach is not fully reproducible and may lead to questionable enhancements. Alternative, independent, fully reproducible...
Double salt; cell with low temperature coefficient; galvanic cells; standard cells
This paper presents data on a modified cadmium sulfate saturated standard cell of the Vosburgh type in which a tertiary amalgam containing 11.2 percent bismuth and 8.4 percent cadmium is used as anode and the double salt, CdSO4 Na2SO4 2H2O is...
inspection; mathematical model; regulation; theory of games.
This paper presents a generalization of a game-theoretic model, first described in an earlier paper, of the relationship between an inspectee who may decide to "cheat" or not, and an inspector whose task it is to minimize the expected gain that the...
A measurement of the parity-violating gamma asymmetry in n-D capture would yield information on N-N parity violation independent of the n-p system. Since cold neutrons will depolarize in a liquid deuterium target in which the scattering cross...
gas pressure scale; piston gauge; primary standard piston gauge; pressure measurement; secondary standard piston gauge
Technology (NIST) has redefined its gas pressure scale, up to 17 MPa, based on two primary standard piston gauges. The primary standard piston gauges are 35.8 mm in diameter and operate from 20 kPa to 1 MPa. Ten secondary standard piston gauges,...
This work generalizes and extends the classical circuit theory of electromagnetic waveguides. Unlike the conventional theory, the present formulation applies to all waveguides composed of linear, isotropic material, even those involving lossy...
A theorem of M. Newman states that if v, k, λ, are the parameters for a difference set D, and k-λ=P or 2p (p a prime) then p is a multiplier of D. This theorem is generalized to the case of an abelian difference set and several consequences are...
The matrix version of Rennie's inequality and the finite-dimensional version of Kantorovich's inequality are obtained by considering a positive definite matrix and its inverse. Generalizations of these inequalities are obtained in which the inverse...
Algorithm; chromatic number; color function; graph; graph coloring; heuristic; interchange; random test graphs; scheduling; time complexity.
A new graph coloring algorithm is presented and compared to a wide variety of known algorithms. The algorithm is shown to exhibit O(n2) time behavior for most sparse graphs and thus is found to be particularly well suited for use with large-scale...
A group of attendees observing a computer demonstration. The man in a suit who is seated man holds a publication.
A direct response to the Computer Security Act of 1987 could be seen in a joint NIST-National Security Agency project report...
The theory of the modified reflectometer technique of measuring VSWR at microwave frequencies is discussed briefly, the operational procedure is outlined, and selected results are given of an unpublished error analysis. Much of the theory and...
An apparatus is described which measures the equilibrium distribution of a hydrocarbon between a gas and aqueous phase. Soluble hydrocarbons are extracted from an aqueous salt solution by very small bubbles of hydrogen generated electrolytically...
