Although there have been many prototypes of visualization in support of information retrieval, there has been little systematic evaluation that distinguishes
This paper outlines a procedure for evaluating liquefaction resistance of soils using shear wave velocity measurements. The procedure follows the general format
During the last 2-3 years, there has been considerable activity aimed towards deploying broadband wireless access systems. The US Local Multipoint Distribution
Neutron reflectometry is used to measure polymer mobility near an attractive solid surface over distances less than the bulk polymer radius of gyration, R g
VISVIP allows website developers to visualize the paths taken through a website by the subjects of usability experiments. The user can dynamically customize and
Commission V covers issues of weld inspection and quality control for the International Institute of Welding (IIW). This report summarizes the information
A new causal power-normalized waveguide equivalent-circuit theory determines uniquely both the magnitude and phase of the characteristic impedance of a

Robotics researchers have been unable to capitalize easily on existing software components to speed up their development e orts and maximize their system's
The present investigation is the first comprehensive comparative study of x-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) results to address
A study of contact fatigue in silicon nitride is reported. The contacts are made using WC spheres, principally in cyclic but also in static loading, and mainly
The effect of tooth-bound fluoride (F) on enamel caries formation was investigated under the condition that loosely-bound F was essentially absent. Eighteen
The bond lengths in a series of strained, buried Ga1-xInxAs thin-alloy films grown coherently on GaAs(001) and InP(001) substrates have been determined by high
The article describes electromodulated spectroscopy of molecules immobilized on electrodes. Electromodulated reflectance (EmR) probes changes in the absorption
