Engineering of Mind: An Introduction to the Science of Intelligent Systems

October 1, 2001
Author(s)
James S. Albus, A Meystel
This book suggests that a computational theory of mind is emerging that will enable the engineering of mind. It briefly traces the history of scientific interest in the mind and puts into perspective recent advances in knowledge about the brain. It brings

Experimental Study of the Ground Plane in Asymmetric Coupled Silicon Lines

October 1, 2001
Author(s)
Uwe Arz, Dylan Williams, Hartmut Grabinski
We use a measurement method designed for coupled lines on highly conductive substrates to characterize identical asymmetric coupled lines fabricated on lossy silicon with and without a metalization plane beneath the two signal conductors. The study

Fitting Nature's Basic Functions I. Polynomials and Linear Least Squares

October 1, 2001
Author(s)
Bert W. Rust
This paper is the first in a series on fitting combinations of basic mathematicalmathematical functions to measured data from the real world. This installmentexplains linear least squares with a special emphasis on polynomial fits. It describesthe

Fluorescence Intermittency in Single InP Quantum Dots

October 1, 2001
Author(s)
M Kuno, D P. Fromm, Alan Gallagher, David Nesbitt, O I. Micic, A J. Nozik
Fluorescence kinetics of isolated colloidal InP quantum dots (Qds) are investigated for the first time via confocal single molecule microscopyFluorescenceintermittency or blinking is observed in all QD's sampled, characterized by abrupt chanc,yes between

Forum 2000: Fluid Properties for New Technologies, Connecting Virtual Design With Physical Reality

October 1, 2001
Author(s)
James C. Rainwater, Daniel G. Friend, Howard J. Hanley, Allan H. Harvey, C D. Holcomb, Arno R. Laesecke, Joe W. Magee, Chris D. Muzny
Forum 2000 was held at the 14th symposium for Thermophysical Properties, with all symposium attendees invited. The Forum addressed the present needs and prioities for thermophysical properties measurements and the challenges facing the experimental

Fractographic Analysis of Machining Cracks in Silicon Nitride Rods and Bars

October 1, 2001
Author(s)
George D. Quinn, L K. Ives, S Jahanmir, P Koshy
A new fixture for flexural strength testing was used to evaluate the effects of machining on the flexural strength of a toughened sintered reaction-bonded silicon nitride. Different grinding procedures had various effects upon the flexure strength

Fraunhofer Diffraction Effects on Total Power for a Planckian Source

October 1, 2001
Author(s)
Eric L. Shirley
An algorithm for computing diffractions effects on total power in the case of Fraunhofer diffraction by a circular lens or aperture is derived. The result for Fraunhofer diffraction of monochromatic radiation is well known, and this reports the result for

Gelation in Physically Associating Polymer Solutions

October 1, 2001
Author(s)
S K. Kumar, Jack F. Douglas
The thermally reversible gelation of a polymer solution is investigated. The dynamics slows down upon cooling in these systems much like glass-firming liquids. We show that no significant changes in the dynamics occurs near the geometrical percolation

Government Roles in HCI

October 1, 2001
Author(s)
Jean C. Scholtz
The chapter describes the key roles that governments play in human-computer interaction: as users of software, producers of information, legislators of standards, and funders of research. For each of these sections the issues involved are described and

Harmonized Conformance Testing for Product Data Managers

October 1, 2001
Author(s)
David Flater, KC Morris
The Testability of Interaction-Driven Manufacturing Systems project seeks to enhance the design-for-testability of specifications for manufacturing software interfaces, derive a test method that is usable for interaction-driven manufacturing systems in

Impacts of Design/Information Technology on Building and Industrial Projects

October 1, 2001
Author(s)
Stephen R. Thomas, C L. Macken, Sanghun Lee
This paper describes a collaborative effort by industry, government, and academia to evaluate the use of design/information technology (D/IT) on building and industrial projects and to relate the degree of use to project performance. A detailed statistical

In Vitro Evaluation of a Calcium Phosphate Cement Root Canal Filler/Sealer

October 1, 2001
Author(s)
Ai-Shuan(Maria) Cherng, Laurence C. Chow, Shozo Takagi
An in vitro dye leakage study was performed to compare the apical leakage of of a fill with injectable calcium phosphate cement (CPC) filler/sealer and a master silver cone with leakage from a fill of Sealapex sealer and laterally condensed gutta-percha

Isochoric Heat Capacity for Toluene Near Phase Transitions and the Critical Point

October 1, 2001
Author(s)
N. G. Polikhronidi, I M. Abdulagatov, Joe W. Magee, Rabiyat G. Batyrova
New measurements of isochoric heat capacity C V for toluene near phase transitions and the critical point are presented. Measurements were made with a high-temperature, high-pressure, adiabatic calorimeter of nearly constant-volume . The inner volume of

Isoplethic Method to Estimate Critical Lines for Binary Fluid Mixtures From Subcritical Vapor-Liquid Equilibrium: Application to the Azeotropic Mixtures R32 + C3 H8 and R125 + C3H8

October 1, 2001
Author(s)
L S. Van Poolen, C D. Holcomb, James C. Rainwater
A new, isoplethic method is used to determine critical lines of azeotropic binary fluid mixtures using vapor-liquid equilibrium data including saturated vapor and liquid densities below the lowest critical temperature of the pure components. Thermodynamic

Luminous Intensity of LEDs at NIST

October 1, 2001
Author(s)
Carl C. Miller, Yoshihiro Ohno
Calibration facilities and procedures for measurement of Averaged LED intensity using the detector-based method have been developed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The scale has been established on two standard photometers
