We present an in-depth analysis of the geometrical percolation behavior in the continuum of random assemblies of hard oblate ellipsoids of revolution. Simulations were carried out by considering a broad range of aspect-ratios, from spheres up to aspect-rat ...
We present a symmetrization algorithm for geometric objects. Our algorithm enhances approximate symmetries of a model while minimally altering its shape. Symmetrizing deformations are formulated as an optimization process that couples the spatial domain wi ...
The in-plane polarities of GaN and ZnO non-polar films deposited on r- and m-sapphire are compared. The polarity is unique on r-sapphire and mixed on m-sapphire because the direction on the substrate surface parallel to the wurztite c-direction is polar in ...
Nanocomposite thin films exhibit interesting optical properties which differ from those of the pure constituents. Effective medium theories are used to model the dielectric function of the nanocomposite materials. We give an introduction to the theories of ...
The state-of-the-art report presented herein is aimed at documenting, to the largest extent possible, some of the recent advances in laboratory testing of unsaturated soils for stress-strain-strength-stiffness characterization under suction-controlled isot ...
A method is presented for detg. the size distribution of spheres dispersed in a continuous phase by anal. of pulsed ultrasound signals reflected from members of the dispersion. Its theor. basis is developed for spherical bubbles and extended to nonspherica ...
Recent advances in the analysis of joint seakeeping processes are applied to the accumulation of spectral fatigue cycles. The methods of cross co-spectral moments and techniques adopted from the determination of principal angles for seakeeping processes ar ...
The ab-plane optical properties of the high-temperature superconductor Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 are anisotropic in both the normal and the superconducting state. Consistent with the orthorhombic structure, the principal axes lie along the a and b crystallographic axe ...
We have developed a novel technique for combined immunofluorescence/in situ hybridization on fixed budding yeast cells that maintains the three-dimensional structure of the nucleus as monitored by focal sections of cells labeled with fluorescent probes and ...
