The American Ceramic Society 103rd annual meeting & exposition took place from April 22-25, 2001, at the Indiana Convention Center and RCA Dome of Indianapolis
Since it was recognized nearly 30 years ago that most fire victims succumb to smoke, there has been a broad effort to include consideration of smoke toxicity in
Information technology has played an increasingly important role in engineering product development. Its influence over the past decade has been accelerating
Given a perturbed Hamiltonian system, normalization yields a Lie transformation which converts the main part of the Hamiltonian into an integral of the
The career of Jim Zimmerman, beginning with a solid foundation in electronics and cryogenics, reached a turning point in 1965 when he became coinventor of the

The development of low-cost (Sr,Ca)3Al2O6 dielectrics for Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+d superconductor applications was investigated. The (Sr,Ca)3Al2O6 phase was determined
We consider traveling wave solutions to spatially discrete reaction-diffusion equations with nonlocal variable diffusion and bistable nonlinearities. For the
Simple relations for the onset of competing brittle and quasi plastic damage modes in Hertzian contact are presented. The formulations are expressed in terms of
When a dilute mixture of NH 3 in neon is subjected to Penning ionization and/or photoionization by neon atoms in their first excited states, between 16.6 eV and

We present a theoretical analysis of near-field scanning optical microscopy (NSOM) images of small Au particles made in illumination mode. We model the metal
The spectrum of singly-ionized mercury (Hg II) has been observed from 500 to 9880 with sliding sparks and pulsed-RF discharges on 10.7-m grating spectrographs
In order to compare theoretical predictions to experimental measurements in many basic studies and applications of physics, it is necessary to know the value of
We investigated the temperature and polarization dependence of the Raman scattering intensity of a single crystal sample of La 1,475Nd 0.4Sr 0.125CuO 4 which is
The editorial article is a forward-looking examination of biotechnology and where it is heading. The biotechnology impacts on medicine, tissue engineering, and

The Raman spectra of polycrystalline Cr 3O 8 and Cr 2O 5 powders were measured. The powders were prepared by thermal decomposition of CrO 3 under flowing oxygen
In this short essay, the current status of quantum chemistry as well as the future challenges this discipline have to face in order to become a useful tool in
Since 1984 the International Organization for Standardization (ISO)has been working on the development of a comprehensive standard for the electronic exchange

In semiconductor electronics manufacturing, device performance often depends upon size. For example, microprocessor speed is linked to the width of transistor
Measuring the frequency response of an optical receiver is easy if you have a standard reference receiver, a simple test setup, and a network analyzer to
Dimensional metrology improvements are needed to achieve the fabrication of repeatable devices. This research presents a new optomechanical technique for
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology's Building and Fire Research Laboratory are working with the U.S. Fire Administration; the
Multizone modeling refers to annalysis techniques that use a simplified, zonal representation of a building to study building airflows, pressure differences
