This paper derives a general analytical expression for the correlation coefficient of signals received by two identical spaced antennas in a radar system used to detect meteorological phenomena such as rain and clouds. Such a correlation coefficient is found as a function of the relevant physical parameters, namely distance between antennas (baseline distance), signal bandwidth, and antenna dir...

Two ideas for characterizing the local structure in mixed self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) were introduced. First, to use thermal desorption mass spectrometry (TD-MS) to probe nearest neighborhoods in the mixed monolayers. Second, to use hydrogen/deuterium exchange as a probe of the accessibility of acidic protons to exchange. Neighborhood interactions provided an opportunity to observe microsc...

The Scanning Probe Microscopes (SPMs) based lithographic techniques have been demonstrated as an extremely capable patterning tool. Manipulating surfaces, creating atomic assembly, fabricating chemical patterns, imaging topography and characterizing various mechanical properties of materials in nanometer regime are enabled by this technique. In this paper, a qualified overview of diverse lithog...

In this paper we determine the structure of (c,1,...,1) polynilpotent multiplier of certain class of groups. The method is based on the characterizing an explicit structure for the Baer invariant of a free nilpotent group with respect to the variety of polynilpotent groups of class row (c,1,...,1).

ince many applications rely on the knowledge of the electromagnetic material properties of ferrites, such as ferrite phase shifters, this paper presents an algorithm for characterizing ferrite materials in a single frequency using a rectangular waveguide system. In this method, the extraction of ferrite parameters is implemented through minimizing the difference between the measured data and th...

Alt's three-dimensional cell balance equation characterizing the chemotactic bacteria was analyzed under the presence of one-dimensional spatial chemoattractant gradients. Our work differs from that of others who have developed rather general models for chemotaxis in the use of a non-smooth anisotropic tumbling frequency function that responds biphasically to the combined temporal and spatial c...

Proteomic and genomic technologies provide powerful tools for characterizing the multitude of events that occur in the anucleate platelet. These technologies are beginning to define the complete platelet transcriptome and proteome as well as the protein-protein interactions critical for platelet function. The integration of these results provides the opportunity to identify those proteins invol...

The paper presents a computation-oriented method for characterizing and obtaining local control Lyapunov functions induced by particular star-shaped nonconvex sets for continuous-time nonlinear systems with bounded inputs. For a given set, the necessary and sufficient conditions for the induced function to be a nonconvex local control Lyapunov function are provided. The related convex problems ...

Let A r = { < | z 1 } be an annulus. We consider the class of operators F : T ∈ B ( H ) 2 − ⁎ + ≤ , σ ⊂ and show that for every bounded holomorphic function ϕ on sup ⁡ ∞ where constant is best possible. do this by characterizing calcular norm induced as multiplier a suitable space .

Describing and understanding the biological function of a protein requires a detailed structural and thermodynamic description of the protein's native state ensemble. Obtaining such a description often involves characterizing equilibrium fluctuations that occur beyond the nanosecond timescale. Capturing such fluctuations remains nontrivial even for very long molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo s...
