We discuss efforts that have been made to help establish-in practice-a greater uniformity of nomenclature used for various terms in radiometry as well as
This paper chronicles the development and refinement of a multizone network airflow model to represent a two-story classroom-office building. The model is
The broadband dielectric relaxation of a BaTiO3-polymer composite film was studied. The complex dielectric constant data from 10 -4 Hz to 10 10 Hz reveals the
The appearance of noise on a display is an important usability issue. Sources of noise include electrical interference, display driver artifacts, resampling
Calcium hydroxide is one of the main reaction products resulting from the hydration of Portland cement with water. It is also one of the more soluble phases
Poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers are used to create organic-inorganic hybrid colloids in aqueous solution. The formation of gold colloids upon reduction of a
