In a distributed, object-oriented, hierarchical shop control system, there are many ways of organizing the interactions between supervisory controllers and...
In this paper, we present the results of spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) studies of Ta 20 5 films on Si. Based on these results, we have experimentally...
We have developed a frequency-domain phase shift system for measuring the zero-dispersion wavelength of multimode optical fibers under overfilled launching...

We have modifed a normal-incidence optical reflectance spectroscopy system to allow rapid switching between the measurement of sample reflectance and sample...
The development of dense wavelength division multiplexed systems at wavelengths between 1300 and 1600 nm has created a demand for wavelength references...
As part of an effort to characterize the uncertainties associated with temperature measurements in fire environments, models of bare bead, single-shielded...
A new method has been developed to calibrate tristimulus colorimeters for high accuracy color measurements. Instead of traditional lamp standards, modern, high...
This was an extended abstract prepared for inclusion in the Microscopy & Microanalysis '99 Proceedings. It is a summary of Observation of Antiparallel Magnetic...
Based on concerns about indoor air quality and trends towards tighter envelope construction, there has been increasing interest in mechanical ventilation of...
There is increasing interest worldwide in the use of performance standards for removing barriers to the acceptance of housing innovation.The use of performance...
The degree of self-desiccation in field concrete depends on the availability of external water to replace that consumed due to the chemical shrinkage that...
