As defined by NIST, " Traceability of measurement requires the establishment of an unbroken chain of comparisons to stated references each with a stated uncertainty.

" In its report, NIST stated that the technical ability to perform a rigorous simulation of aircraft impact and ensuing fires is a recent development, and that the technical capability for such analysis would have been quite limited in the 1960s.

Comments are reviewed and considered by the EAC in consultation with NIST in development of the final release.

A 2010 report prepared for NIST by the Research Triangle Institute analyzed the economic value of RBAC for enterprises, and estimated benefits per employee from reduced employee downtime, more efficient provisioning, and more efficient access control policy administration.

" The report does not represent the official position of NIST, and misinterpretations of the report has led NIST to explain that " Some statements in the report have been misinterpreted.

The Shard ’ s early conceptual designs were among the first in the UK to be progressed following the publication of the US National Institute of Standards and Technology ( NIST ) report into the WTC collapse.

... Additionally, the report showed that for every $ 1 that NIST and its partners invested in TREC, at least $ 3. 35 to $ 5. 07 in benefits were accrued to U. S. information retrieval researchers in both the private sector and academia.

* The NIST Reference on Constants, Units, and Uncertainty

In the United States, AES was announced by the NIST as U. S. FIPS PUB 197 ( FIPS 197 ) on November 26, 2001.

The CODATA recommended values of fundamental physical constants are published at the NIST Reference on Constants, Units, and Uncertainty.

* The NIST References on Constants, Units, and Uncertainty

In 1972, after concluding a study on the US government's computer security needs, the US standards body NBS ( National Bureau of Standards ) — now named NIST ( National Institute of Standards and Technology ) — identified a need for a government-wide standard for encrypting unclassified, sensitive information.

NIST replaced these codes with the more permanent GNIS Feature ID, maintained by the U. S. Board on Geographic Names.

The NIST Reference on Constants, Units, and Uncertainty: International System of Units ( SI ) ( web site ):

NIST publishes the " Handbook 44 " each year after the annual meeting of the National Conference on Weights and Measures ( NCWM ).

Each edition is developed through cooperation of the Committee on Specifications and Tolerances of the NCWM and the Weights and Measures Division ( WMD ) of the NIST.

SAMATE ( Software Assurance Metrics And Tool Evaluation ) is a NIST project focused on improving software assurance by developing methods to enable software tool evaluations, measuring the effectiveness of tools and techniques, and identifying gaps in tools and methods.

relies on the similar and related high level of difficulty of the discrete logarithm problem, as does the closely related DSA, which was developed at the US National Security Agency ( NSA ) and published by NIST as a proposed standard.

The BIPM ’ s position on the use of SI prefixes with units of time larger than the second is the same as that of the NIST but their position with regard to angles differs: they state " However astronomers use milliarcsecond, which they denote mas, and microarcsecond, µas, which they use as units for measuring very small angles.

Ward, and F. Scire from the NIST, relied on field emission.

* NIST reports on WTC, to be released tomorrow: 23 June 2005

The NIST provides a time reference service to computer users on the Internet, based on Java applets loaded by each slave.

See NIST subtopic 9. 07. 9-4. R for a description of research on one system to do this.

These were used for this purpose in the first U. S. NIST round-robins on multimode fiber.

The Standard Time and Frequency Signal ( STFS ) is a time signal service available in the United States which provides standard time and frequency signals, broadcast on very precise carrier frequencies by the U. S. Naval Observatory and the National Institute of Standards and Technology ( NIST ), formerly the National Bureau of Standards ( NBS ).

However, ANS X9. 52 specifies directly, and NIST SP 800-67 specifies via SP 800-38A that some modes shall only be used with certain constraints on them that do not necessarily apply to general specifications of those modes.

In 2002 the National Construction Safety Team Act mandated NIST to conduct an investigation into the collapse of the World Trade Center buildings 1 and 2 and the 47-story 7 World Trade Center.

NIST found a three-page white paper that mentioned another aircraft-impact analysis, involving impact of a Boeing 707 at, but the original documentation of the study, which was part of the building's 1, 200-page structural analysis, was lost when the Port Authority offices were destroyed in the collapse of the 1 WTC ; the copy was lost in 7 WTC.

NIST further concluded that the aircraft impact removed a significant portion of the fireproofing, contributing to the buildings ' collapse, though many engineers, including one of NIST's top advisers, strongly disputed that claim, instead saying the fireproofing was simply not thick enough.

On the other hand, according to the 2006 NIST Special Publication 800-88 ( p. 7 ): " Studies have shown that most of today ’ s media can be effectively cleared by one overwrite " and " for ATA disk drives manufactured after 2001 ( over 15 GB ) the terms clearing and purging have converged.

A cesium atom with a velocity of 7 mm per second is equivalent to temperature of about 700 nK ( which was a record cold temperature achieved by the NIST in 1994 ).

Like FEMA, NIST vindicated the design of the WTC, noting that the severity of the attacks and the magnitude of the destruction was beyond anything experienced in U. S. cities in the past.

In March 2007, Reynolds filed a Request For Correction ( RFC ) with NIST citing his belief that real commercial jets ( Boeings ) did not hit the WTC towers and making claims of faulty physics in NIST's computer animations of planes impacting the WTC Twin Towers on 9 / 11.

In response to the NIST decision, the Census Bureau is in the process of transitioning over to the GNIS Feature ID, which will be completed after the 2010 Census.

An ongoing NIST hash function competition is scheduled to end with the selection of a winning function, which will be given the name SHA-3 in 2012.

With this program the National Institute of Standards and Technology ( NIST ) will recommend labs for accreditation through its National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program ( NVLAP ).
