The finite difference time domain (FDTD) method was used to model anti-reflective properties of a variety of sub-wavelength structures for 300 to 1300 nm input light. Light hitting non-tapered nanostructures exhibited interference patterns similar to thin film anti-reflective coatings (ARCs), increasing the anti-reflective effect at several wavelengths. The lowest reflectance...
Finite-difference time-domain simulations are performed on a 900 MHz band antenna inside and outside the carbon fiber body of a solar-powered electric vehicle. Data are analyzed to determine the optimal antenna placement for transmission to a receiving antenna located toward the rear of the solar vehicle. Modeling data are compared...
Human actions are pushing natural systems into states that have no historical precedent. In response, empirical and theoretical researchers are increasingly focused on developing ways to predict the responses of ecological systems to change. However, significant knowledge gaps remain, often leading to “ecological surprises” where observed impacts of global change...
Four buoyant plumes were produced within a laboratory convectively
mixed layer from a source height of about z[subscript s] = 0.15 h,
where h is the height of the convectively mixed layer. The
projected images of these plumes in the X-Z plane were analyzed
using a densitometer (photomultiplier tube) to...
One kilometer Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) observations for Terra (morning) and Aqua (afternoon) satellites were used to follow the morning to afternoon evolution of marine stratocumulus clouds that were affected by ship stack exhaust. The observations covered the summer months of 2002-2003 and August 2007 for marine layers off...

This study Is a rhetorical analysis of ten documents of Joseph
Smith, Jr's. early revelations spanning the period of 1829 to 1831
to determine the extent to which he used demagogic rhetoric in pursuit
of his goals. A definition of demagoguery is provided and is
applied in an analysis of...
Senator Al Gore Jr. was elected Vice-President of the United States
on November 3, 1992. During many of his public speeches, Gore utilized
a speaking style that differed radically from the style he used in other
political campaigns of his life. This style, which will be called the "rhetoric
of...
Diabetes is a pandemic that affects nearly 29.1 million Americans and the fourth leading cause of mortality in the US. Type 1 diabetes is a chronic condition which occurs due to little to no production of insulin by the pancreas. This form of diabetes requires constant monitoring of blood glucose...
An automated instrument based on a single-board microcomputer
was developed for use in voltammetric analyses. Operator input of
numerous experiment parameters allows any type of voltammetric
analysis to be implemented and multiple scans to be run unattended.
A three operational amplifier potentiostat is used to control
the cell voltage and...
1-km MODIS observations of ship tracks off the west coast of the U.S. are used to characterize changes in cloud visible optical depths, cloud droplet radii, cloud cover fraction, and column cloud liquid water amount as low-level marine clouds respond to particle pollution from underlying ships. This study re-examines the...
