Single crystal surfaces can be used as substitutes or
models for the actual reactive surfaces of heterogeneous
catalysts. The advantage in using such models is that the
reaction of interest can be isolated on the particular
face of the crystal that is thought to be catalytically
active. A variety of...
The Indian Ocean Experiment (INDOEX) had as a primary objective
determining the radiative forcing due to anthropogenic aerosols over
climatologically significant space and time scales: the Indian Ocean during the
winter monsoon, January-March. During the winter monsoon, polluted, low-level
air from the Asian subcontinent blows over the Arabian Sea and...
Real-time predictive voltage control of a direct-current (d-c)
generating system is achieved with the aid of a hybrid computer.
Some assumptions were required to adequately simplify the simulation
of the d-c generating system.
A predictive controller is used to maintain the load voltage of
the d-c generating system (the controlled...
Economic methodology is revisited to address issues in
fishery management, and survival analysis is suggested as an
analytical tool to solve the uncertainty problem in
evolutionary economics. Survival analysis can clarify in
statistical terms the impacts of fishery regulation and
economic and biological changes on the fisherman's final
decisions of...
An important aspect in device technology is the
processing of GaAs to produce highly-resolved etch
patterns on the substrate. This is done typically on the
GaAs(100) surface. Recently, a number of methods, all
using chlorinated vapor reactants, have been applied to
fabrication of GaAs devices. In spite of these
technological...
The aim of this research is to develop a fundamental understanding of the dominant defect species and the relevant defect equilibrium conditions for bismuth-containing perovskites to help guide the development of these materials for emerging applications. This is of paramount importance for many demanding applications, because ultimately the defect equilibria...
