Linewidth broadening across a dynamical instability
(Elsevier Science B.V., 1998-12-21)
We investigate experimentally and theoretically the variation of the emission linewidth of an optically-injected semiconductor laser across a resonant period-doubling bifurcation. Close to the dynamical instability, the ...
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 ...
Self-organization of coupled nonlinear oscillators
(EDP Sciences, 1998-12-01)
The effects of impurities introduced into a lattice of strongly coupled oscillators are studied. Contrary to our expectations, a single impurity can control the chaotic behavior of a long array of chaotic oscillators and ...
Chinese characters as sources of design of furniture
(1998-12)
This thesis is an exploration of possibilities of the translation of Chinese characters into furniture. It is not just the two dimensional image of the character that
I wish to interpret into three dimensions, but I intend ...
Portable cell-based biosensor system for toxin detection
(Elsevier www.elsevier.com/locate/sensorb, 1998-12)
A portable cell-based biosensor has been developed and characterized. The prototype system relies on extracellular recording
from excitable cells cultured over an array of platinized gold microelectrodes. Extracellular ...
Constraints on ultraviolet absorption in the intracluster medium of Abell 1030
(Astrophysical Journal, 1998-12-01)
We present results from an extensive HST spectroscopic search for UV absorption lines in the spectrum of the quasar B2 1028+313, which is associated with the central dominant galaxy in the cluster Abell 1030 (z=0.178). ...
An Interactive kiosk on amphibian limb deformities
(1998-11-25)
MasqueArray: Automatic makeup selector/applicator
(1998-11-11)
Discusses the design of a computer which selects and applies makeup.
Effect of surface finish on flow boiling heat transfer
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1998-11)
It is well known that the surface structure affects the pool boiling
heat transfer from a heater surface. The number and size distribution
of cavities present on a heater surface affect the nucleation
characteristics. ...
Spatiotemporal organization of coupled nonlinear pendula through impurities
(American Physical Society, 1998-11)
We study the effect of impurities introduced into a lattice and their ability to control the dynamical behavior of arrays of coupled nonlinear chaotic oscillators. In particular we show that under certain conditions a ...
