Homogeneous polyimide films with increased bis(N,N'-disalicylidene-1,2-phenylenediaminato)zirconium(IV) content
(The American Chemical Society: Chemistry of Materials, 1997-12)
To increase the concentration of inorganic component in polyimide films and enhance the materials' resistance to atomic oxygen, the complex (4-amino-N,N'-disalicylidene-1,2-phenylenediaminato)(N,N'-disalicylidene-1,2-phe ...
Encoding and decoding messages with chaotic lasers
(American Physical Society, 1997-12)
We investigate the structure of the strange attractor of a chaotic loss-modulated solid-state laser utilizing return maps based on a combination of intensity maxima and interspike intervals, as opposed to those utilizing ...
Unfolding of the period-two bifurcation in a fiber laser pumped with two modulation tones
(American Physical Society, 1997-12)
The effect of a small second frequency component on a pump modulated neodymium fiber laser is investigated experimentally and theoretically. This term, whose frequency is exactly half the primary driver, incites an unfolding ...
Microelectrode arrays for stimulation of neural slice preparations
(Elsevier, 1997-11)
A planar 6 x 6 array of iridium electrodes with four reference electrodes has been developed for use with neural tissue
preparations. Precise knowledge of the relative locations of the array elements allows for spatial ...
Remote sensing and GIS analysis of seagrass meadows in North Carolina, USA
(Elsevier: Aquatic Botany, 1997-10)
Seagrass meadows are a valuable and vulnerable resource which supports coastal fisheries. Spatial monitoring of seagrass meadows can improve coastal management and research with baseline inventories of change in location ...
Fusion of color and edge information for improved segmentation and edge linking
(Image and vision computing, Elsevier, 1997-10)
We propose a new method for combined color image segmentation and edge linking. The image is first segmented based on color information only. The segmentation map is modeled by a Gibbs random field, to ensure formation of ...
Prey-handling and the evolutionary ecology of sand-swimming lizards (Lerista?: Scincidae)
(Springer: Oecologia, 1997-10)
Fossorial lizards differ in morphology from their surface-dwelling relatives. The Australian sphenomorphine skink genus Ctenotus consists of surface-dwelling species, and is closely related to the genus Lerista, which ...
Protonation-state-dependent luminescence and excited-state electron-transfer reactions of 2- and 4-Pyridine (-ium)-substituted metallo-1,2-enedithiolates
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 1997-10-01)
Luminescence and excited-state electron-transfer reactions of (dppe)Pt{S2C2(2-pyridine)(H)} and (dppe)Pt{S2C2(4-pyridine)(H)} (dppe = diphenyldiphosphinoethane) are enabled by protonation of the appended pyridine, thus ...
RNA processing and clinical variability in neurofibromatosis type I (NF1)
(Oxford University Press: Human Molecular Genetics, 1997-09-01)
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a common genetic disorder which predisposes affected individuals to a variety of clinical features including tumors of the central and peripheral nervous systems. The product of the NF1 ...
193 nm lithography using a negative acting P(SI-CMS) resist
(Elsevier Science B.V., Amsterdam, 1997-09)
Copolymers of trimethysilylmethyl methacrylate and chloromethylstyrene [P(SI-CMS)] have been formulated as negative resists for exposure at 193 nm. To achieve maximum sensitivity, absorption has been targeted so that the ...
