      Surveys of the fluorescence and absorption of chromophore-containing dissolved organic matter (CDOM) were made along a cruise line extending from the mouth of Delaware Bay southeast to the Sargasso Sea. With shallow ...
    • Security considerations in wireless sensor networks 

      Hu, Fei; Sharma, Neeraj (Elsevier Science, 2005-01)
      In future smart environments, ad hoc sensor networks will play a key role in sensing, collecting, and disseminating information about environmental phenomena. As sensor networks come to be wide-spread deployment, security ...
    • Selenide versus sulfide centers on (100) AgIBr surfaces: characterization and energy levels 

      Hailstone, Richard; French, J.; DeKeyzer, Rene (Maney Publishing on behalf of the Royal Photographic Society, 2003)
      Sensitometric and spectroscopic techniques are used to characterize sensitizer centers produced by sulfur and selenium sensitization of AgIBr cubes. Sulfur sensitization primarily affects the long-wavelength sensitivity ...
    • Self-organization of coupled nonlinear oscillators 

      Gavrielides, Athanasios; Kottos, Tsampikos; Kovanis, Vassilios; Tsironis, George (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 ...
    • Sense from sensitivity and variation of parameters 

      Baker, Christopher; Agyingi, Ephraim; Parmuzin, Eugene; Rihan, Fathalla; Song, Yihong (Elsevier Science B.V., Amsterdam, 2006-03)
      It is known that Alekseev’s variation of parameters formula for ordinary differential equations can be generalized to other types of causal equations (including delay differential equations and Volterra integral equations), ...
