This proposal describes work combining active and passive ground-based methods to better understand the physical properties of aerosols to improve the retrieval of these properties from passive satellite data. The proposal joins the resources of the Atmospheric Remote Sensing Laboratory (ARSL) and the Remote Sensing Group (RSG) of the University of Arizona to capitalize on the expertise of both...

The cross-sectional RuO2/SiO2 composite films with different RuO2 and SiO2 and Ru2Si3 thin films, deposited by sputtering on silicon wafers and followed by the post-deposition annealing in the temperature range from 150 to 500 °C, will be investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The studies will provide important structural information on the as deposited films and their evolutio...

How jazz syntax is theorized, and how it is filtered through various pedagogical frames for dissemination to increasingly sophisticated students, is evolving at an impressive rate. There is now a sizable body of literature on jazz theory and analysis, and at least three “generations” of card-carrying music theorists drawing upon and extending the rigorous work that has taken place since the 197...

This paper describes the artistic projects undertaken at Immersion Music, Inc. (www.immersionmusic.org) during its three-year existence. We detail work in interactive performance systems, computer-based training systems, and concert production.

This supplement reflects on the progress made towards the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDG), with particular respect to child health. The goals, adopted by 189 countries, were set by the United Nations in 2000 and related to what could be achieved by 2015. They highlighted a set of specific targets. ...

The problem of reconciling general relativity and quantum theory has fascinated and bedeviled physicists for more than 70 years. Despite recent progress in string theory and loop quantum gravity, a complete solution remains out of reach. I review the status of the continuing effort to quantize gravity, emphasizing the underlying conceptual issues and the various attempts to come to grips with t...
