Infrared spectra of the small strained cage molecule [1.1.1] propellane have been obtained at high resolution (0.0015 cm-1) and the J, K, and l rovibrational
This paper describes contributions to the workshop, 'Technology Development for a CMB Probe of Inflation,' held at NIST in Boulder CO, Aug. 25-28, 2008
Microleakage induced by polymerization shrinkage in methacrylate based dental composites continues to be a major concern for dental restoratives. Current
We introduce an interferometric approach to suppress the nonresonant background (NRB) contribution to a broadband coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS)
Recently, we have introduced an advanced distillation curve measurement method featuring (1) a composition explicit data channel for each distillate fraction

The lack of simple interfaces for microfluidic devices with a large number of inlets significantly limits production and utilization of these devices. In this
Recent developments in optical microscopy promise to advance optical metrology and imaging to unprecedented levels through theoretical and experimental
An investigation has been conducted on the influence of impact machine variables and specimen positioning on characteristic forces and absorbed energies from
We developed artificial neural network models to simultaneously identify three separate impairments that can degrade optical channels, namely optical signal-to
