A New Classification of Information: A Step on the Road to Interpretability

September 1, 2002
Author(s)
Larry H. Reeker, Albert W. Jones
Complex systems, such as manufacturing supply chains, are often modeled as a collection of interacting components with information flows between them. These components are frequently responsible for making a wide range of decisions that are implemented

Accuracy of AlGaAs Rates and Composition Determination Using RHEED Oscillations

September 1, 2002
Author(s)
Todd E. Harvey, Kristine A. Bertness, Chih-Ming Wang, Jolene Splett
Reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED) oscillations are widely used in molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) as a technique to calibrate material growth rates. The growth rates are used to predict the composition of the following growth run. For many

Acoustic Spectroscopy of Lithium Niobate: Elastic and Piezoelectric Coefficient

September 1, 2002
Author(s)
H Ogi, Y Kawashima, M Hirao, H M. Ledbetter
We report the first Simultaneous measurement of a crystal's complete elastic and piezoelectric coefficients: C if, e ijk. The studied crystal was lithium niobate (LiNbO 3) with trigonal crystal symmetry (3 m point group), thus six independent C ijk, four e

Adaptive Control of a Construction Manipulator

September 1, 2002
Author(s)
V Gradetsky, M Rachkov, M Pushkin
The paper describes an advanced control technique that uses a self-adjusting controller. The technique allows changing control parameters of the manipulator according to different technological forces and disturbances acting to the end-effector of the

Algal Rhodopsins: Phototaxis Receptors Found at Last

September 1, 2002
Author(s)
K D. Ridge
The discovery of two distinct Chlamydomonas sensory receptors responsible for phototaxis reveals additional diversity among the microbial rhodopsins. Sequence and architecture comparisons among this growing family highlight key components for light

An Improved Nonlinear Optical Pulse Propagation Equation

September 1, 2002
Author(s)
M Trippenbach, W Wasilewski, P Kruk, Garnett W. Bryant, G Fibich, Y B. Band
A new equation for self-focusing of extremely focused short-duration intense pulses is derived. This method can yield results to all orders of diffraction and dispersion with nonlinearity present, including the self-consistent derivation of nonlinear

Analysis of Kaolinite/Chrysotile Mixtures by Ashing and X-Ray Diffraction

September 1, 2002
Author(s)
Jennifer R. Verkouteren, Eric S. Windsor, Joseph M. Conny, R L. Perkins, J T. Ennis
A simple ashing procedure is described that converts kaolinite to amorphous metakaolinite while retaining the diffraction intensity of chrysotile. This ashing procedure removes the XRD pattern overlap between kaolinite and chrysotile that can interfere

Analysis of Switching in Uniformly Magnetized Bodies

September 1, 2002
Author(s)
Michael J. Donahue, Donald G. Porter
A full analysis of magnetization reversal of a uniformly magnetized particle by coherent rotation is presented.The magnetization energy of the particle in the presence of an applied field H is modeled as E = ( 0/2)MT DM - 0HTM.This model includes shape

Anomalously Large Intermixing in Aluminium-Transition Metal Bilayers

September 1, 2002
Author(s)
J D. Buchanan, T P. Hase, B K. Tanner, P J. Chen, L Gan, Cedric J. Powell, William F. Egelhoff Jr.
The interdiffusion lengths in thin film samples of the form X/Al and Al/X, where X is a metal from rows 4,5 and 6 of the Periodic Table, have been measured by Grazing Incidence X-ray Scattering. Scans of the specular reflectivity have been fitted to

Architecture and Implementation of a Design Repository System

September 1, 2002
Author(s)
Simon Szykman
This paper describes the design and development of a design repository software system. This system is a prototype implementation intended to demonstrate the role of design repositories as part of a vision for the next generation of product development

Baseline Measures for Improving Housing Durability

September 1, 2002
Author(s)
Robert E. Chapman, C A. Izzo
The Partnership for Advancing Technology in Housing (PATH), a program of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, is a public/private partnership in which leaders of the home building, product manufacturing, insurance and financial industries

Biomarkers of TP53 Mutation and Y-Chromosome Loss Used to Detect Cellular/Genetic Damage in Tissue Engineered Skin

September 1, 2002
Author(s)
H Rodriguez, M A. Marino, P McAndrew, Donald H. Atha, Pawel Jaruga, M Birincioglu, Peter E. Barker, C D. O'Connell
Tissue engineering is an emerging area of biotechnology that will provide replacement tissues for patients, as well as complex, functional biological systems for research and testing in the pharmaceutical industry. Fundamentals to many tissue-engineered

Calibration Experiments of a Laser Scanner

September 1, 2002
Author(s)
Geraldine S. Cheok, Stefan D. Leigh, Andrew L. Rukhin
The potential applications of laser scanners or LADARs (Laser Detection and Ranging) are numerous, and they cross several sectors of the industry construction, large-scale manufacturing, remote sensing, national defense. A LADAR is an instrument which can
