A parameter space approach is used to represent the operation of all liquid crystal displays. The Jones matrix nematic is used to analyze the static optical properties of liquid crystal displays with any twist angle, cell thickness, natural birefringence, and polarizer angles. All the usual display modes such as 90° T…

The cleavage/polyadenylation factor I (CF I) is one of four factors required for mRNA 3' end formation in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Here we describe the purification of CF I and its separation into two components, CF IA and CF IB. Both components are needed to reconstitute CF I activity in cleavage and poly(…

A low hydrogen content form of amorphous hydrogenated carbon (a-C: H) was deposited from a magnetically confined plasma, for a range of self bias voltages. The structure was characterized in terms of its density, sp3 bonding fraction, H content, and H bonding. The Tauc optical gap was found to vary from 2 to 3 eV as t…

Permanent relief holographic gratings with variable modulation depth have been induced in porous Si films using the interference of two beams obtained by a frequency-doubled Nd:YAG laser (γ = 530 nm) and a conventional optical setup. Consequently, the gratings have been confined in the porous Si film and the diffracti…

A propane-fueled research combustor has been designed to represent the essential features of primary zones of combustors for aircraft gas turbine engines in an investigation of lean blowouts. The atmospheric pressure test facility being used for the investigation made it difficult to approach the maximum heat release…

A comprehensive discussion of the resolution function in specular and diffuse X-ray reflectivity is given. This is particularly relevant due to the proliferation of this technique in the field of liquid and solid surfaces and multilayer systems. A simple quantitatively correct interpretation of the diffuse reflectivit…

Cerium oxide films formed by electron-beam evaporation onto oblique substrates are shown to scatter light strongly into spatially anisotropic distributions and to exhibit large normal-incidence birefringence Δ n = n(s) - n(p). The apparatus for direct recording of a useful projection of the scatter distributions is de…

The effective medium theory of one-dimensional and two-dimensional periodic structures are investigated. A method based on a Fourier decomposition of the wave propagating along the direction perpendicular to the periodic structures allows one to determine the zeroth-, first- and second-order effective indices. For one…

The slow tensile straining of smooth specimens of mill annealed Ti6Al4V with different hydrogen contents revealed hydrogen induced slow strain rate embrittlement when the hydrogen content exceeded about 2000 ppm. The effect of hydrogen on the mechanical behaviour of the Ti6Al4V at lower hydrogen levels was not so pron…

Nature usually combines polymers with short degradation times with polymers having long degradation times in an energy and material optimized process involving hierarchical systems. Sometimes a natural system of polymers has evolved to degrade in a month, sometimes in many years. The building blocks of the plant and a…
