A fluorescence-based digital image correlation !DIC" technique is used to characterize the in-plane strain development of blanket sol-gel derived lead zirconate titanate thin films deposited on platinized silicon substrates. The in-plane strain is also measured within film line features patterned via a mediated octadecyltrichlorosilane !ODS" monolayer. The results indicate that the selective fi...

12 Abstract An experimental methodology has been developed 13 to study materials deformed at high temperatures using high 14 resolution ex situ digital image correlation (DIC). This study is 15 an advancement of techniques that have used sub-grain level 16 strain measurements and linked them to microstructural data 17 obtained with electron back-scatter diffraction (EBSD). The 18 approach utili...

This study investigates the strain localizations associated with Lüders deformation in mild steel using digital image correlation (DIC), a non contact, nondestructive, full field measurement technique for strain mapping. The focus is on the two substantial areas of interest such as shear deformation accompanying strain localization during Lüders instability and the complex morphology of Lüders ...

We proposed "single-molecule immunoassay", quantification of single protein molecules, by developing a nanofluidics-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) device. Extremely small volume(pL-aL) and high surface-to-volume ratio of nanochannels enables ~100% capture of analyte molecules. Enzymatic amplification reaction and differential interference contrast thermal lens microscope (DIC-T...

In 55 chronic schizophrenics, the occurrence of infectious diseases during their mothers' pregnancies was investigated. Different psychiatrie diagnostic systems were compared. Infections were reported by the mothers of familial and sporadic DSM I1I-R schizophrenics in equal proportion. However, applying Leonhard's classification, the frequency of infections was found to be significantly increas...

Woven structures are steadily emerging as excellent reinforcing components in dual-phase composite materials subjected to multiaxial loads, thermal shock, and aggressive reactants in the environment. Metallic woven wire mesh materials in particular display good ductility and relatively high specific strength and specific resilience.While use of this class of materials is rapidly expanding, a si...

Chomsky (2000, 2001) proposes a theory of AGREE which eliminates ‘featuremovement’ entirely in feature-checking, elaborating ATTRACT of Chomsky (1995). Whereas the theory of AGREE brings a number of conceptual advantages over ATTRACT, it also poses a new challenge. Specifically the proposed mechanism of AGREE cannot deal with covert multiple featurechecking (i.e. multiple AGREE without MOVE) un...
