Fabric hand is commonly adopted for assessing fabric quality and prospective perfor mance in a particular end use. In general, fabric hand is primarily assessed subjectively. Subjective assessments treat fabric hand as a psychological reaction obtained from the sense of touch, based on the experience and sensitivity o…

Silicate glasses remain the most investigated systems for optical planar waveguides, since they offer a reasonable solubility for rare-earth ions, they are transparent in the near-infrared–visible region and they are compatible with integrated optics (IO) technology. In the last decade, various technologies have been…

Galactose mutarotase catalyzes the conversion of beta-d-galactose to alpha-d-galactose during normal galactose metabolism. The enzyme has been isolated from bacteria, plants, and animals and is present in the cytoplasm of most cells. Here we report the x-ray crystallographic analysis of human galactose mutarotase both…

The regional flux density in laminations of soft magnetic materials is usually determined by means of a single-winding coil inserted through drilled holes. An alternative method is to use needle contacts arranged at lamination surface points through the surface coating. This method is simple and nondestructive. Howeve…

Plasma damage to methylsilsequioxane (MSQ) based low-k dielectrics degrades the material’s resistance to subsequent wet etch processes. In addition, the loss of methyl species during plasma exposure increases their susceptibility to water absorption leading to increased dielectric permittivities. In this article, we i…
