This paper investigates the influence of quantization on 3D surface characterization by carrying out an analysis of surface parameter changes on a range of real...
Translational tables now form a vital pan in three-dimensional surface topography systems. In some systems typically. one translational table is used to provide...

We investigate the properties of angular-momentum states which yield high sensitivity to rotation. We discuss the application of these "squeezed-spin" or...
The nonadiabatic nature of low-speed combustion and fire, in which strongly exothermic reactions produce large temperature variations but only mild pressure...
Quantitative OH concentrations and primary soot particle sizes have been determined in the soot oxidation regions of axisymmetric diffusion flames burning...
Integrated models of soot production and oxidation are based upon experimental results obtained in steady, laminar flames. For successful application of these...
In order to design robust and stable zone fire modeling algorithms, the numerical properties of computer arithmetic and modeling differential equations must be...

A set of upholstered chairs constructed from five different fabric/foam combinations was subjected to a variety of ignition sources suggested by fire statistics...
Experiments in idealized two-layer fire environments have demonstrated that concentrations of carbon monoxide and other gaseous combustion products can be...
A radiometric model has been developed to assess the effects of angular truncation, finite size of the detector, and angle response characteristics of the...
The paper presents a theoretical evaluation of the performance effects resulting from the installation of a liquid-line/suction-line heat exchanger (LLSL-HX)...
The glide-matching study presented in Part 1 was a laboratory investigation which demonstrated the evaporator performance in detail. However, since it was not...
The primary approach industry has taken to fill the void resulting from the elimination of the most important CFCs (i.e., R11 and R12) has been to develop other...

The effect of the fire size on radiative heat loss fraction and combustion efficiency was examined by an analysis of scale for pool flames with varying diameter...
Invariant tori of solutions for nonlinearly coupled oscillators are generalizations of limit cycles in the phase plane. They are surfaces of aperiodic solutions...
This report examines the effects of uncertainties in temperature and coefficient of thermal expansion on the expanded uncertainty of length dimensional...

Self-assembly of alkanethiol monolayers on gold and silver substrates is a fast, easy, and convenient method for preparing stable organic films with well...
A simple technique for post-polishing single-point, diamond-turned optics is described. Synthetic fabric-faced laps are used. Surface finish converges to a...
SEMPA observations of magnetic exchange coupling in the Fe/Ag/Fe, Fe/Au/Fe, and Fe/Cr/Fe systems reveal an intensity variation in the emitted secondary electron...

A review is given that describes the complications due to elastic and inelastic electron scattering in quantitative surface analyses by Auger-electron...
Real space views of the homoepitaxial growth of Fe on Fe(001) whiskers is reported, observed by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), during the initial stages...
