Prehistoric Extinctions of Pacific Island Birds: Biodiversity Meets Zooarchaeology
On tropical Pacific islands, a human-caused "biodiversity crisis" began thousands of years ago and has nearly run its course. Bones identified from archaeological sites show tha...
Optical Levitation by Radiation Pressure
The stable levitation of small transparent glass spheres by the forces of radiation pressure has been demonstrated experimentally in air and vacuum down to pressures ∼1 Torr. A ...
Dynamic 3D models with local and global deformations: deformable superquadrics
The authors present a physically based approach to fitting complex three-dimensional shapes using a novel class of dynamic models that can deform both locally and globally. They...
Ethane
This paper presents Ethane, a new network architecture for the enterprise. Ethane allows managers to define a single network-wide fine-grain policy, and then enforces it directl...
Online simulations of global aerosol distributions in the NASA GEOS‐4 model and comparisons to satellite and ground‐based aerosol optical depth
We have implemented a module for tropospheric aerosols (GOCART) online in the NASA Goddard Earth Observing System version 4 model and simulated global aerosol distributions for ...
TiO<sub>2</sub>‐B Nanowires
News on the wires: Nanowires of the titanium dioxide polymorph TiO2-B have been synthesized in high yield by a simple hydrothermal reaction between NaOH and TiO2-anatase followe...
Photoluminescence Spectroscopy of Single CdSe Nanocrystallite Quantum Dots
We collect and spectrally resolve photoluminescence from single CdSe nanocrystallite quantum dots. The elimination of spectral inhomogeneities reveals resolution limited spectra...
Gap solitons and the nonlinear optical response of superlattices
We study theoretically the transmission of radiation through superlattices of finite length, where the dielectric constant of one film in each unit cell contains a term linear i...
