We present an overview of the National Institute of Standards and Technology high temperature blackbodies, both in operation and in development, suitable for heat-flux sensor calibration. Typical results of calibrations using the transfer technique in the 25 mm Variable-Temperature Blackbody are presented to demonstrate the long-term repeatability of the calibration technique. A comparative stu...

L’étude sur la surveillance électorale en République Démocratique du Congo (RDC), notamment, a mis exergue l’impact de cette pratique légitimité des institutions issues élections, d’une part, et, d’autre les réformes éventuellement envisagées. Pour ce qui est légitimité, elle noté que celle-ci un gage promotion l’Etat droit.

Fiber optic Bragg gratings packaged in long gage configurations are being used to measure static and dynamic macro-strains in structures and structural models to monitor structural health and detect and identify macrodamage incurred from a seismic event. These long gage sensors are being used to experimentally verify analytical models of small-scale structural models in their preand post-damage...

An indicator variable was developed that may be used to visualize and detect bi–directionality in wind tunnel strain–gage balance calibration data. First, the calculation of the indicator variable is explained in detail. Then, an empirical criterion is proposed that may be used to decide which load components of a balance have bi–directional behavior. The criterion could be used, for example, t...

Gage, J. C. (1970). Brit. J. industr. Med., 27, 1-18. The subacute inhalation toxicity of 109 industrial chemicals. The inhalation toxicity of 109 substances has been studied by exposing experimental animals to known concentrations in air for periods of about three weeks. The toxic properties of these substances are reviewed in relation to the effects of similar compounds on animals and on man....

Six sigma is a highly disciplined process that focuses on developing and delivering nearperfect products and services consistently. Six sigma is also a management stragety to use statistical tools and project work to achieve breakthrough profitability and quantum gains in quality. The steps in the six sigma process are Define, Measure, Analyse, Improve, Control or DMAIC for short (Kubiak T.M, B...
