And The Corrections For Air Scatter, Room Return, And Anisotropic-neutron Emission. Explicit, Semi-empirical, Analytic Expressions Are Given For The Room Return Correction, And Calculated Numerical Values Are Given For Air Scatter. (1)
An International Workshop On The Backfill A Component Of A Multi-barrier Under-ground Isolation System For Nuclear Waste Disposal/storage Was Conducted On April 13 And 14, 1981, At The National Bureau Of Standards, Washington, DC. This Report Includes The Papers Presented And/or Submitted To The Workshop For Publication. It Also Contains The Surveyed Results Of A Questionnaire Distributed To The Participants At The Workshop. The Workshop Held A One-day Informal Indepth Discussion On The Subject And A Summary Of These Discussions Is Included In This Report, Which States Areas Where Further Research And Development Needs Are Required To Better Understand The Fundamental Mechanisms Of The Backfill In The Waste Repository.

A Regional Seminar Sponsored By The Korea Standards Research Institute, The National Bureau Of Standards, And The U.S. Agency For International Development Was Held At The New K-SRI Laboratories At Daeduk Near Dae Jeon In The Republic Of Korea On September 27-28, 1978. The Participants Representing Most Of The Countries In The South Asian And Western Pacific Region Discussed The Importance Of Providing Services In Measurement Science And Technology (metrology) To Governmental And Industrial Organizations In The Region. The Consensus Was That A Need For A Central National Capability In Metrology Existed In Countries At All Levels Of Development, And That That Central Organization Could Be A Focal Point For Intra- And International Cooperation, Which Alone Could Lead To Compatibility Of Measurements, A Prerequisite For Quality Control For All Kinds Of Products In Domestic And International Markets. Australia And New Zealand Had Established A Group Of Accredited Test Laboratories To Disseminate The Accuracies Inherent In The National Measurement System. Industry Was Increasingly Aware That Metrology Was Essential To Development, But The Specific Needs At Appropriate Accuracies Needed To Be Established By Surveys. The Korean Government Strongly Supported The Establishment Of Metrological Services As Is Well Illustrated By The New K-SRI Laboratories. (1)

Assurance Of Measurement Quality To Meet Requirements For Regulatory Agencies, Marketplace Equity, And Productivity And Quality Control In Manufacturing And Research Is Challenged By Unprecedented Demands For Sensitivity, Speed, Precision, And Accuracy Over Wide Ranges Of Properties And Signal Characteristics. New Approaches Are Needed. Examples Of NBS Response, Principally In Electrical And Electronic Engineering Are Described. (1)
ASTM And NBS Co-sponsored A Basestock Consistency Study (BCS) To Assess The Quality Consistency Of Lubricating Base Oils. This Study, Which Is The First Of Its Kind, Will Impact On Developing Basestock Characterization Methodology And On Efficient Utilization Of Energy Resources As Well As Their Conservation Through Recycling. The Purpose Of This Publication Is To Present The ASTM/NBS BCS Data For Data Analysis. Monthly Production Samples From Six Re-refiners And Four Refiners Were Analyzed By 14 Laboratories For A 13 Month Period. The Results Of Over 55 Tests Are Divided According To Six Major Categories: Rheology, Physical Properties, Chemical Properties, Hydrocarbon Type Analysis, General Performance Tests, And Oxidation And Wear Bench Tests. The Data Are Presented In Tabular And Grphical Form, Which Is Quite Amenable To Further Data Analysis. (1)

A Workshop On Possible Contributions Of Cement And Concrete Technology To Energy Conservation By The Year 2000 Was Held At The National Bureau Of Standards On October 3 And 4, 1977. The Purpose Of The Workshop Was To Identify And Record Ideas On Possible Contributions Of Cement And Concrete Technology To Energy Conservation In The Near Term And By The Year 2000. This Included Consideration Of Current Technology As Well As Areas In Which Technological Advances Might Be Realized. The Workshop Was Divided Into Working Groups On Cement Composition, Cement Production, Blending Materials, Concrete Production, Efficient Use Of Concrete, And Institutional Factors. The Essential Results From The Six Working Groups Were Statements Of Energy-Saving Opportunities, Research Needs, And Unresolved Issues. The Statements, Which Are The Major Part Of This Report, Are Presented Without Critical Analysis. They Suggest, However, That There Are A Large Number Of Possible Opportunities Which Should Be Evaluated For Their Ability To Contribute To Energy Conservation In The Cement And Concrete Industries.

In The Past, For The Most Part, Precision Electromagnetic Measurements Were Concerned With The Measurement Of Parameters For Sinusoidal (or Steady State) Excitation And Response, E.g., Magnitude, Phase, And Power. One Reason For The Popularity Of Frequency Domain Measurement Was That In This Domain Only One Complete Data Point Need Be Recorded To Constitute A Useful Measurement. Recording A Thousand Data Points As Required For Precision Time Domain Waveform Measurements Simply Was Not Feasible. Today Such Frequency Domain Measurements Are Still Important But Now Share Their Importance With Transient Pulse Time Domain Measurements. With The Emergence Of Integrated Circuit Components For (1) Sampling Or Analog To Digital Conversion, (2) Storage, And (3) Control, Real Time Digital Waveform Recording Is Now Practical And Widespread In Usage. Furthermore, By Coupling Waveform Recording Components To Minicomputers And Microprocessors Integrated Circuitry It Is Now Possible To Record Single Events Using Compact Systems (instruments) Which Acquire, Record, Process, And Analyze Transient Signals. In Fact, The Incorporation Of Digital Computation Integrated Circuitry Appears To Be A Major Driving Force In Expanding The Role Of Waveform Measurements In The Academic, Industrial And Scientific Communities.

The Subject Areas Were As Follows: (1) Recent Developments In Recycled Oil, (2) Engine Oil Evaluation, (3) Lube Oil Base Stock Characterization, (4) Oil Analysis For Engine Condition Monitoring, (5) Bench Test For Oil Evaluation - I, (6) Bench Tests For Oil Evaluation - II, And (7) Systems Performance And Durability. Included In This Report Are The Entire Texts Of The Various Presentations, Including Figures And Tables. (1)
This Publication Is Written For Those Participating In The Retroreflectance Measurement Assurance Program (MAP) Service Provided By The National Bureau Of Standards. This Service Is To Verify The Accuracy Of Measurement Of Coefficient Of Luminous Intensity (R). This Paper Presents The Techniques And Procedures That Are Pertinent To Participating In The MAP Service, As Well As A Detailed Explanation Of The Error Analyses. Uncertainties For Both Retroreflectance And Luminous Transmittance Were Determined From Two Pilot Studies Carried Out With The Assistance Of Two Industrial Laboratories And By Research Performed On The Elements Of The MAP Package.

This Report Presents A Long-range Plan For Roofing Research. The Plan Was Developed In Response To A Need For Roofing Research Addressing Major Materials Problems And Changes In Low-sloped Roofing Materials Technology. The Intent Of The Plan Is To Establish The Technical Basis For Developing Standards And Minimum Levels Of Performance To Assist In The Selection Of Cost-effective And Durable Roofing Materials. Four Major Areas Of Needed Research Are Identified: Low-sloped Roofing Systems, Roofing Membranes Including Single-ply And Built-up, Thermal Insulation For Roofing Systems, And Condition Assessment And Repair Of Roofs. Within Each Research Area, A Goal Is Given As Well As A Number Of Objectives To Achieve The Goal. A Recommended Approach To Accomplish Each Objective Is Also Given. (1)
Throughout The United States, Increasing Concern Is Being Expressed For The Need To More Fully Utilize The Existing Building Stock. The Report Documents A Process That Was Initiated In Late 1977 And Continues To The Present Time In Which Particular Regulatory Problems Impacting Building Rehabilitation Were Identified, A Regulatory Concept Which Responded To These Problems Was Formulated, And The Actual Implementation Of The New Approach In The State Of Massachusetts. Article 22 Of The Massachusetts State Building Code Is Printed In The Appendix Of The Report And Four Case Studies Of Actual Buildings Which Were Rehabilitated Are Included. (1)
