Differential Effective Medium Theory (D-EMT) is applied to derive expressions for the viscosity of a colloidal suspension or an emulsion as a function of the
When a heat release rate limit for a consumer product is set by a regulatory agency, it is of interest to know whether small excursions above that limit, such
Heat capacities, enthalpies of phase transitions, and derived thermodynamic properties in the temperature range 5 < (T/K) < 442 were determined with adibatic
We present a new method for analyzing eye diagrams that always provides a unique solution by making use of a robust, least-median-of-squares (LMS) location

Amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) composites show promise in a number of anti-cariogenic applications. The objectives of this study are to compare the water
Observations of the birth of a superfluid have uncovered details of the microphysics of phase transitions. Whether these results can be used to model such
Plastics are ubiquitous in our modern world. It difficult to find a manufactured object that does not contain at least some sort polymeric (plastic) components
We have developed an ultra-sensitive torque magnetometer tailored to the study of thin-film interface magnetism and interlayer magnetic exchange coupling. The

A study is made of top-surface cracks induced in brittle trilayers by cyclic indentation with a hard sphere in water. The trilayers consist of an external
An analysis of inner cone cracks in brittle solids subject to cyclic indentation in liquid is presented. These inner cone cracks, so named because they form
This paper describes a calibrated broadband emitter for the millimeter-wave through terahertz frequency regime, called the aqueous blackbody calibration source
The coupling between ferromagnetism and electrical current has recently been the object of intense study because of the combination of interesting scientific
