A simple fiber-Bragg-grating (FBG) sensor system based on a linear-cavity fiber laser is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The lasing wavelength shift resulting from the temperature variation on this sensing element is discriminated by two FBGs. These two FBGs, acting as wavelength discriminators, are used to increase the real-time measurement range for monitoring the temperature variation. (C) 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Characteristics of crystalline structure, roughness and nanotribology of ZnO thin films deposited under various power conditions were achieved by means of x-ray diffraction and scanning probe microscopy (SPM). The ZnO thin films were deposited on the silicon (100) substrates by a radio frequency magnetron sputtering system. Fractal analysis was derived from SPM images, to calculate the fractal dimension complexity of the surface geometry, via a substituting structure function. The results show that the roughness decreases and nanowear rate increases as the sputtering power increases. In addition, the fractal dimensions of the ZnO thin films are also presented.

Effect of composition of BaO.(R2O3)(y).(TiO2)(z).0.06(2Bi(2)O(3).3TiO(2)) materials, R = Nd(1-x)Sm(x),BRT, on the materials characteristics and microwave dielectric properties of the samples was systematically examined. The Ti/Ba ratio (z value) shows the most significant effect on the microwave dielectric properties of the materials. The Q x f-value is small for z less than or equal to 3.82 materials, and showing maximum value for z = 4.32 samples, then decrease for z = 4.52 composition, which is possibly due to the presence of secondary phase for Z = 3.82 and 4.52 materials. Diffusion couple experiments shows that the interaction diffusion zone between glass and BRT ceramic is not pronounced, so that Ba-B-Si glass and BRT could be a good low temperature co-firable ceramic system is inferable.

Upon photolysis of oxalyl chloride at 248 nm, rotationally resolved emission of CO (v less than or equal to 3) in the spectral region 1900-2300 cm(-1) was detected with a step-scan time-resolved Fourier transform spectrometer under nearly collisionless conditions. Boltzmann-like rotational distributions of CO (v = 1 and 2) correspond to temperatures similar to2290 +/- 100 and 1910 +/- 130 K, respectively, with average rotational energy of 16 +/- 2 kJ mol 1; several lines of CO (v = 3) were also observed, but their weak intensity precludes quantitative analysis. The average vibrational energy of CO is estimated to be 10 +/- 3 kJ mol(-1) according to observed vibrational populations of v = 1 and 2 and that of v = 0 and 3 predicted with surprisal analysis. Combining the average internal energy of CO determined in this work and average translational energies of photofragments Cl, CO, and ClCO determined previously by Suits and co-workers, we derived a revised energy balance. We observed no emission of ClCO near 1880 cm(-1), indicating that ClCO (v(1) = 1) decomposes rapidly and that surviving ClCO has little vibrational excitation in the CO stretching mode. Most CO produced from decomposition of ClCO is in its vibrational ground state with small rotational excitation, undetectable with our technique.
Charge ordered ferromagnetic phase in manganites

A mechanism for charge ordered ferromagnetic phase in manganites is proposed. The mechanism is based on the double exchange in the presence of diagonal disorder. It is modeled by a combination of the Ising double-exchange and the Falicov-Kimball model. Within the dynamical mean-field theory the charge and spin correlation function are explicitly calculated. It is shown that the system exhibits two successive phase transitions. The first one is the ferromagnetic phase transition, and the second one is a charge ordering. As a result a charge ordered ferromagnetic phase is stabilized at low temperature.

Aligned high-aspect-ratio carbon nanofibers were grown in situ using modified hot filament chemical vapor deposition. The field-emission properties were then studied. An Fe-Cr wire filament acted as a catalytic source and a heat source. Carbon nanofibers were deposited on a Si substrate with CO2 as a carrier gas through ethanol. The experimental results indicate that the flow in the horizontal direction to the substrate produces carbon nanofibers with diameters of less than 10 nm. The field-emission current of 2 V/mum was 0.54 mA/cm2; the turn-on field of the sample was 1.1 V/mum. (C) 2003 American Institute of Physics.

In this paper, we address the question of whether the packet drop rate of a bottleneck router measured (experienced) by probe packets can accurately reflect the bottleneck router's real packet drop rate. To answer this question, we built a testbed network and conducted several real experiments on it. In these experiments, using various traffic types and loads, we compared the probed and the real packet drop rates of the bottleneck router. We also collected the internal queue length variation process of the bottleneck router and used it to do several post analyses to answer some 'what-if' questions. This paper presents some interesting findings derived from this study. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

An efficient clean-up procedure coupled with a high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with on-line electrochemical (EC) reduction and fluorescence detection (FLD) was developed to quantify nitrated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (NPAHs) in the airborne particulate. In this process, NPAHs were extracted ultrasonically followed by analysis by using a reversed phase column with an aqueous eluent containing 70% aqueous acetonitrile and sodium monocholoroacetate as a buffer solution. The extraction efficiencies were above 83% for 1-nitropyrene and 1,3-dinitropyrene (1,3-DNP) 1,6-DNP, and 1,8-DNP, and calibration graphs were linear with very good correlation coefficients (r > 0.999) and the detection limits were in the range of 1.0-2.2 pg for dinitropyrenes and nitropyrene. The proposed method provides a relatively simple and convenient procedure for determining the NPAHs samples in airborne particulate. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

We design and investigate the properties of acousto-optical tunable filter (AOTF) based on tellurium dioxide (TeO2) single crystal. We use so-called "subcollinear" geometry of anisotropic acousto-optic interaction that occurs when the wavevector of incident light is collinear to acoustic energy vector. We have obtained the analytical formula of spectrum spread function of proposed AOTF and have found the condition determining the shape of that characteristic. Also we have designed and fabricated the experimental prototype of subcollinear AOTF. In our design we have used the reflection of acoustic wave that allowed to use crystal's media more effectively and reduce the AOTF size. The main advantage of filter based on proposed geometry is extremely low value of electrical driving power (20 mW) that makes it a strong candidate in many applications.

Decoupling of degenerate positive-norm states in Witten's string field theory

We show that the degenerate positive-norm physical propagating fields of the open bosonic string can be gauged to the higher rank fields at the same mass level. As a result, their scattering amplitudes can be determined from those of the higher spin fields. This phenomenon arises from the existence of two types of zero-norm states with the same Young representations as those of the degenerate positive-norm states in the old covariant first quantized (OCFQ) spectrum. This is demonstrated by using the lowest order gauge transformation of Witten's string field theory (WSFT) up to the fourth massive level (spin-five), and is found to be consistent with conformal field theory calculation based on the first quantized generalized sigma-model approach. In particular, on-shell conditions of zero-norm states in the OCFQ stringy gauge transformation are found to correspond, in a one-to-one manner, to the background ghost fields in off-shell gauge transformation of WSFT. The implication of decoupling of scalar modes on Sen's conjectures is also briefly discussed.
Synthesis and properties of soluble aromatic polyamides derived from 2.2 '-bis(4-carboxyphenoxy)-9,9 '-spirobifluorene

The synthesis of a new bis(ether carboxylic acid), 2,2'-bis(4-carboxyphenoxy)-9,9'-spirobifluorene, in which two orthogonally arranged carboxyphenoxyfluorene entities are connected through an sp(3) carbon atom (the Spiro center), is reported. The direct phosphorylation polycondensation of this diacid monomer with various aromatic diamines yields aromatic polyamides containing 9,9'-spirobifluorene moieties in the main chain. The presence of the spiro segment restricts the close packing of the polymer chains and decreases interchain interactions, resulting in amorphous polyamides with enhanced solubility, and high glass-transition temperatures and good thermal stability are maintained through controlled segmental mobility. The glass-transition temperatures of these polyamides are in the range of 234-306degreesC, with 10% weight losses occurring at temperatures above 530 degreesC. (C) 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A wideband GaInP/GaAs heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) micromixer from DC to 8 GHz with I I dB single-ended conversion gain is demonstrated. The input return loss is better than 10 dB for frequencies up to 9 GHz. The single-to-differential input stage in a Gilbert micromixer renders good wideband frequency response and eliminates the need for common-mode rejection. IP1dB = -17 dBm and IIP3 = -7 dBm are achieved for a small local oscillator power of -2 dBm when LO = 5.35 GHz and PF = 5.7 GHz.

Bermond, Comellas and Hsu gave an excellent survey on multi-loop networks, directed and undirected, in 1995, but only one and half page is on loop networks other than the directed double-loop. Hwang recently gave a substantial survey, but only on the directed double-loop. This survey is a companion of the latter survey by focusing on the other loop networks.

[1] A novel concept of "visible energy" is proposed, and its magnitude is shown to be valuable information for determining whether the chosen orthogonal wavelet is proper in solving a large object scattering problem. With the properly chosen wavelets for the targeting problem the ( transformed) wavelet-domain impedance matrix can be sparsified effectively for solving electromagnetic integral problems. Visible energy is defined as the energy of all dilations of a single mother wavelet for an arbitrary translation in the spectral domain over the entire "visible region." It is found that for large matrix sizes, using wavelets with smaller visible energy will lead to a greater sparsification of the matrix. Numerical examples considering various scatterers with different shapes such as a circular cylinder, an L-shaped scatterer, and a duct show the validity of our findings.
