Tissue engineering applications involve developing materials to guide cellular response in the repair of missing or damaged tissue. We have been developing...
Prior experiments on miscible polymer blend films, where one component segregates to both surfaces, show that the surface segregation profile flattens as film...
We investigate the effect of the coupling of the forward- and backward-going electron-hole pairs on the static local-field factor of jellium with and without a...

The polarization and intensity of light scattered by polystyrene latex (PSL) and copper spheres with diameters of approximately 100 nm depostied onto silicon...
An important measure of the opacity of a solid with respect to monoenergetic electrons in a solid is the effective attenuation length (EAL). However, there is...
Experimental techniques and density functional theory have been employed to identify the surface composition and structure of SnO 2(101). The stoichiometric Sn...
Mass customization has been identified as a competitive strategy by an increasing number of companies. Family-based product design has been recognized as an...

This paper describes a threefold method of testing the performance of an array-based ultrasonic tool for nondestructive testing of spot welds. The tool is...
The unwanted sensitivity of a plate pyroelectric detector to airborne acoustic noise is critically dependent on the mounting conditions for the plate. We...
Two experiments are reported to show how some lingering inherited misconceptions about the applications of surge-protective devices (SPDs) can lead to erroneous...

The key to real-time intelligent control lies in the knowledge models that the system contains. We argue that there needs to be a more rigorous approach to...
A novel cable-based metrology system is presented wherein six cables are connected in parallel from groundmounted string pots to the moving object or tool of...

A quantum bit is a closed two-dimensional Hilbert space, but often experimental systems have three or more energy levels. In a Josephson phase qubit the energy...
The microcalorimeter energy dispersive x-ray spectrometer, the silicon drift detector (SDD), and polycapillary x-ray optics are recent developments that have...
