Process development of halide transport chemical vapor deposited (HTCVD) ZnS:Mn thin film has been studied. To this end, electrical characterization of HTCVD ZnS:Mn electroluminescent devices has been used. Process optimization focused on a simple design of experiment (DOE) with brightness as the major response. Deposition parameters such as HCl and...
A method and apparatus are presented for generating suppressed carrier digital clock signals. These clock signals have the advantage of being broad band in nature and thus exhibiting lower power spectral density. Structures or systems utilizing such clock signals would be less likely to create electromagnetic noise of sufficient intensity...
In animals, reproductive behaviors serve to attract individuals together during the
breeding season and to coordinate the behavioral and physiological states of individuals
so that mating can successfully occur. In snakes, the various reproductive behaviors
including courtship, mating, courtship inhibition, male combat and trailing are mediated
primarily by pheromones. Pheromones...
Research was undertaken to examine the influence of light intensity on the shoaling behavior, activity and anti-predator behavior of juvenile walleye pollock Theragra chalcogramma. Under a 12 h light/12 h dark photoperiod, juveniles displayed a diurnal shoaling and activity pattern, characterized by fish swimming in cohesive groups during the day,...
