Several recently developed particle-tracking and imaging methods have achieved three-dimensional sensitivity through the introduction of angled micromirrors
The Media Independent Handover (MIH)architecture finalized by the IEEE 802.21 working group facilitates handovers between heterogeneous networks. The signaling
Polarimetric radar cross section systems are characterized by polarimetric system parameters $\epsilon_h$ and $\epsilon_v$. These parameters can be obtained

We used an optical trap and a high-speed camera to image bubble initiation on the surface of multi-walled carbon nanotubes. The laser wavelength was 1064 nm and
We have developed a polarization independent (PI) spectrometer based on frequency up-conversion technology for single photon level spectrum measurement at the
We developed surrogate mixture models to represent the thermophysical properties of two samples of aviation turbine fuel Jet-A. One sample is a composite of
