eBook Standards

October 16, 2008
Author(s)
J Potman
A discussion of current and proposed eBook standards and their applications. The discussions include: Open eBook Publication Structure (OEBPS), Portable Document Format (PDF), Open eBook File Format (OEBFF), Electronic Book Exchange System (EBX)

Edge Toughness and Material Properties of Dental Ceramics

October 16, 2008
Author(s)
Janet Quinn, Isabel K. Lloyd
Objectives: In the edge chipping test, an increasing load is applied near the edge of a material until a chip is formed. Higher loads are required to form chips at greater distances from the specimen edge. The chip loads are plotted against the edge

Edge-Chip Testing of Glass at Different Applied Force Angles

October 16, 2008
Author(s)
Janet Quinn, R Mohan V. C.
Current edge-chip material testing procedures involve applying an increasing perpendicular force near a specimen edge until a chip forms. In this report, the effects of applied forces that are not perpendicular are studied, including quantitative changes

Effect of modified interfaces on electromigration of passivated Al lines

October 16, 2008
Author(s)
C E. Kalnas, J M. Phelps, T N. Marieh, A Ho
Al interconnect lines, 2.6 υm wide, 0.5 υm thick, and 300 υm long, were synthesized with modified metal/passivation interfaces. The interface modifications are discontinuous along the length of the line, enabling comparison of void formation in modified

Effect of Signal-Processing Parameters on Phase Velocity Uncertainty

October 16, 2008
Author(s)
M C. Renken, C M. Fortunko, C T. Mullis
Quantification of signal-processing effects is required for an accurate determination (less than 1% uncertainty) of the absolute phase velocity, particularly when Fouier techniques are used. The velocity is calculated by using the travel time determined

Effects of Proteins on Metal Corrosion

October 16, 2008
Author(s)
H J. Mueller
A previous report (Mueller, IMS, Ottawa, Canada, 1998) revealed that the modeled equivalent electrical circuits for either silver or copper surfaces were different when corroded in protein-free or protein-containing solutions. The objective of this study

Effects of Random Localizing Events on Matter Waves: Formalism and Examples

October 16, 2008
Author(s)
J Gea-Banacloche
A formalism is introduced to describe a number of physical processes that may break down the coherence of a matter wave over a characteristic length scale l. In a second-quantized description, an appropriate master equation for a set of bosonic modes (such

Elastic and Anelastic Properties of a Copper-Precipited Alloy Steel

October 16, 2008
Author(s)
H M. Ledbetter, Sung Kim, H Ogi
We studied the elastic and anelastic properties of an alloy steel containing 1.1 mass % copper subjected to various isothermal agings. The steel's hardness increases with aging time; after reaching a maximum, it decreases. Peak hardness was 17% higher than

Elastic Coefficients of Monocrystal Gelena (Pbs)

October 16, 2008
Author(s)
Sudook A. Kim, H M. Ledbetter
Using acoustic-resonance spectroscopy, we measured the three independent Voigt C kj (C 11, C 12, C 44) of cubic-symmetry galena (lead sulphide). Our results clarify the discrepancies of previous reports. We report also the internal friction Q -1 ij, the

Elastic Constants and Thermal Expansion Averages of a Polycrystal

October 16, 2008
Author(s)
Roland deWit
This paper derives expressions for the overall average elastic constants and thermal expansion coefficients of a polycrystal in terms of its single crystal components. The polycrystal is assumed to be statistically homogeneous, isotropic, and disordered

Elastic Stiffnesses and Internal Frictions of Monocrystal Quartz

October 16, 2008
Author(s)
H M. Ledbetter, Sudook A. Kim, M Lei
Using acoustic-resonance spectroscopy (with only two point contacts with the specimen), we measured both the real and imaginary parts of the elastic-stiffness tensor C ij of a cultured quartz monocrystal. With trigonal symmetry (32 point group, P3 12 space

Elastic-Stiffness Coefficients of Titanium Diboride

October 16, 2008
Author(s)
H M. Ledbetter, Sudook A. Kim, T Tanaka
Using acoustic-resonance spectroscopy, we measured the monocrystal elastic-stiffness coefficients, the Voigt Cij, of TiB 2. With hexagonal symmentry, TiB 2 exhibits five independent C ij: C 11, C 33, C 44, C 66, C 13. Using Voigt-Reuss-Hill averaging, we

Electrical Manipulation of Gold Nanoparticles for Microfluidic Applications

October 16, 2008
Author(s)
Darwin R. Reyes-Hernandez, Geraldine I. Mijares, Kimberly A. Briggman, Jon C. Geist, Michael Gaitan
An electrical method to trap and release gold nanoparticles to and from the surface of alkanethiol-modified gold electrodes is presented. When a positive bias versus a Ag/AgCl reference electrode was applied to gold electrodes, negatively-charged gold

Electrodeposited Epitaxial Fe Subscript 100-x}Co Subscript x} Films on GaAs

October 16, 2008
Author(s)
J Mallett, Erik B. Svedberg, Mark D. Vaudin, Leonid A. Bendersky, William F. Egelhoff Jr., Thomas P. Moffat
The electrodeposition of epitaxial cube-on-cube Fe _(subscript) 100-x}Co_(subscript) x} films onto n-GaAs is described from ferrous ammonium sulfate solutions containing various concentrations of cobalt sulfate. The cobalt composition in a series of 400nm

Electrokinetic Sample Dilution and Concentration in Microfluidics

October 16, 2008
Author(s)
David J. Ross, K G. Olsen, Laurie E. Locascio
A new method is demonstrated which can be used to produce streams of variable, controlled analyte concentration. The method works by electrokinetically manipulating the analyte velocity so that it is different in different parts of a channel. Because of
