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 ...
Resolved structure in the nuclear region of the ultraluminous infrared galaxy Mrk 273
(University of Chicago Press: Astrophysical Journal Letters, 1997-11-20)
We have studied the core morphology of the ultraluminous infrared galaxy Mrk 273 by combining a high-resolution adaptive optics near-infrared image with an optical image from the Hubble Space Telescope and interferometric ...
A Wearable communications device
(1997-11-11)
The purpose of this thesis is to develop a concept for a wearable
communications device. Proposed for the market of ten years into the future,
this device will integrate today's multiple communications devices and ...
An Educational exhibit of two graphic designers: William Golden / Will Burtin
(1997-11-01)
The Retrospective Exhibit, a thesis project, documented the professional graphic design
work of two pioneers in the industry. Will Burtin and William Golden. William Golden
was Art Director of CBS (Columbia Broadcasting ...
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 ...
The Narrow Line Region of NGC 4151: A Turbulent cauldron
(University of Chicago Press: Astrophysical Journal Letters, 1997-10-01)
We present the first results of the Hubble Space Telescope/Faint Object Camera long-slit spectroscopy of the inner 8′′ of the Narrow Line Region of NGC4151 at a spatial resolution of 0′′.029. The emission gas is characterized ...
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 ...
