Use of high-temperature and high humidity to test the adhesion of sputtered copper to a polyimide surface-modified by an AC Nitrogen Glow-Discharge
(Brill (VSP): Journal of Adhesion Science and Technology, 1995)
We have used an extreme environmental stress test to study the adhesion of a thin sputtered copper film (0.5 mu m) to flexible polyimide (PI) substrates between 25 and 125 mu m thick. The polyimide types include Kapton ...
Morphological texture-based maximum-likelihood pixel classification bbased on local granulometric moments
(Elsevier Science B.V., Amsterdam, 1992-10)
Morphological granulometries are one-parameter filter sequences that monotonically decrease image area. A size distribution is generated by measuring the residual area after each iteration of the filter sequence. Normalization ...
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 ...
Observer variability in metameric color matches using color reproduction media
(Wiley InterScience: Color Research & Application, 1998-12-06)
Standard color-matching functions are designed to represent the mean color-matching response of the population of human observers with normal color vision. When using these functions, two questions arise. Are they an ...
Inherent optical properties of the ocean: retrieval of the absorption coefficient of chromophoric dissolved organic matter from airborne laser spectral fluorescence measurements
(Optical Society of America, 1995-10)
The absorption coefficient of chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) at 355 nm has been retrieved
from airborne laser-induced and water Raman-normalized CDOM fluorescence. Four combined airborne
and ship field ...
Characterization of a large-format charge-coupled device
(International Society for Optical Engineering (SPIE), 1995-01)
Characterization of a Kodak KAF 4200 CCD chip, coated with
the UV converter Lumigen, is described. This chip is very similar to a
chip described by Ninkov, Backer, and Bretz [Proc. SPIE 1987, 14
(1 993)], except for the ...
Gas dynamics in the barred Seyfert galaxy NGC4151 - II. High resolution HI study
(Blackwell Publishing: Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 1999-04)
We present sensitive, high angular resolution (6′′ × 5′′) λ21-cm observations of the neutral hydrogen in the nearby barred Seyfert galaxy, NGC4151. These HI observations, obtained using the VLA in B-configuration, are the ...
The Radio-optical jet in NGC 3862 from parsec to sub-kiloparsec scales
(Astrophysical Journal, 1999-03-01)
We have observed the radio source in NGC 3862 (3C 264) simultaneously with the European VLBI network and the MERLIN arrays, obtaining detailed images of its radio structure from parsec to subkiloparsec scales. 3C 264 shows ...
The environment and economics: The Impact of restricting the SO2 allowance market
(Elsevier, 1994)
This paper analyzes the effects of several types of regulatory policy on the operation of the SO2 allowance trading system established in the UC Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (CAAA). Theoretically, such a system can ...
Boiling heat transfer with binary mixtures: Part I— A theoretical model for pool boiling
(ASME, 1998)
Experimental evidence available in the literature indicates that the pool boiling heat
transfer with binary mixtures is lower than the respective mole- or mass-fraction averaged
value. Although a few investigators have ...
