Dewetting of polystyrene (PS) films on a silicon substrate is investigated as a function of film thickness, h. We observe the nucleation of holes in the early
The development of particle characterization methods based on electroacoustic effects is reviewed and their application in various areas of ceramic powder
Surge-Protective devices (SPD) applied in low-voltage ac power circuits should be provided with appropriate means to disconnect a failed SPD from the power
The Kamlet-Taft solvatochromic parameters describing the dipolarity-Polarizability, hydrogen bond donation ability, and hydrogen bond acceptor ability forethane

Ice cores and snow pits of the cryosphere contain particles that detail the history of past atmospheric air compositions. Some of these particles result from
We present a face identification algorithm that automatically processes an unknown image by locating and identifying the face. The heart of the algorithm is the

Does radioactive decay follow the Poisson distribution?--a fundamental question to which the theoretical answer seems to be, Yes. On the practical side, the
Using an ultrasonic pulse-echo method, we measured the elastic constants of polycrystalline indium from 300 K to 5K. All elastic constants showed regular

We present theoretical calculations of thermally averaged elastic cross sections and spin-relaxation rate coefficients in the temperature range 0.1 to 300 K for
Bond dissociation energies (D o) for 41 small molecules were calculated at 19 levels of ab initio theory up to CCSD(T)/cc-pVTZ, using geometries and vibrational

A new formulation for the thermodynamic properties of standard dry air at pressures to 2000 MPa has been developed. This formulation, which can be used at
Absolute yields of negative ions and secondary electrons resulting from positive ions impacting a stainless steel surface have been determined as a function of
A plane wave integral representation is presented for well-stirred fields in a reverberation chamber. The representation automatically satisfies Maxwell's
A parameter that is often used in the assessment of cooling efficiency in grinding is the amount of fluid that flows through the grinding zone. This paper shows

The size dependence of the electronic spectrum of InAs nanocrystals ranging in radius from 10 to 35 Angstrom} has been studied by size-selective spectroscopy
This paper deals with the radiative calibration aspects of high heat flux sensors using blackbody radiation. Several heat flux sensors were calibrated up to
