In this paper we prove a result that says: Given an approximate solution and frequency to a periodic solution of an autonomous delay differential equation that
The elastic constants and internal friction of induction hardened and unhardened SAE 1050 plain-carbon steel were determined by acoustic resonance spectroscopy

We are exploring methods to achieve 3D 200 nm resolution multispectral imaging with an ordinary inexpensive widefield microscope using incoherent white light
We propose a control chart with dynamic control limits that promotes the process of developing and refining an uncertainty budget and verifying the measurement
A pre charged, low mass, low polydispersity linear polyethylene was analyzed with matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry as a

We demostrate that the buckling instability technique is promising for studying wettability because key elements of surface topography such as surface roughness
Five designs for a miniaturized dynamic light scattering (DLS) instrument with microfluidic flow and fiber optic probes directly embedded into the sample are
A recent paper by Ignacio Lira in Metrologia 43 (2006) S231-S234 addresses a well-known problem in combining information from interlaboratory evaluations. Lira
We report on a fully nonequilibrium theory of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) through resonances induced by impurity atoms adsorbed on metal surfaces. The

We present an implementation of the steady state Keldysh approach in a Green function multiple scattering scheme to calculate the non-equilibrium spin density
We provide a simple explanation, based on an effective field, for the precession damping rate due to the spin-orbit interaction. Previous effective field
The Landau-Lifshitz equation reliably describes magnetization dynamics using a phenomenological treatment of damping. This paper presents first-principles

Recent theory and measurements of the velocity of current-driven domain walls in magnetic nanowires have re-opened the unresolved question of whether Landau
This paper surveys recent research on self-organizing techniques applied to design and control large wireless ad hoc and sensor networks. The survey divides
A simple geometric argument is presented to account for the value of the measured critical exponent describing the development of anisotropy at the stability
