The Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) is a public utility that operates in central Texas to manage the water supply in the Lower Colorado River basin and both generates and supplies electric po
We have performed a precise experimental determination of the Casimir pressure between two gold-coated parallel plates by means of a micromachined oscillator.
We measure the Casimir force between a gold sphere and a silicon plate with nanoscale, rectangular corrugations with a depth comparable to the separation between the surfaces.
Despite the fact that timing and tracing studies provide tremendous information on the dynamic behavior of software systems, there has been surprisingly little support for these activities under UN
The Cassini/Huygens mission, to explore Saturn and its moons, was the result of a successful cooperation among the space agencies of United States (NASA), Europe (ESA) and Italy (ASI).
We have found that encapsulated thin Si films, adjacent to SiO sub 2, are dissolved at elevated temperatures by a reaction: Si + SiO sub 2 -> 2SiO, with SiO diffusing through the silica network.
Traces of copper and silver are shown to accelerate the etching of silicon by molecular fluorine.
Practically all of lifes molecular processes, from chemical synthesis to replication, involve enzymes that carry out their functions through the catalysis of metastable fuels into waste products.
Catastrophic facet degradation at highest power levels is analyzed for different diode laser waveguide architectures.
Single-pulse tests of the catastrophic optical damage (COD) are performed for three batches of diode lasers with different gain-regions.
