A Simple Proof Of A Remarkable Continued Fraction Identity, Peter Anderson, Thomas Brown, Peter Shiue Jan 1995

A Simple Proof Of A Remarkable Continued Fraction Identity, Peter Anderson, Thomas Brown, Peter Shiue

Articles

We give a simple proof of a generalization of the equality [see article] where t=(1+sqrt(5))/2 and the exponents of the partial quotients are the Fibonacci numbers, and some closely related results.


Ultrasound Speckle Feature Extraction For Scattering Structure Characterization, Navalgund Rao, S. Venkatraman, Y. Zhang Jan 1995

Ultrasound Speckle Feature Extraction For Scattering Structure Characterization, Navalgund Rao, S. Venkatraman, Y. Zhang

Articles

There has been a renewed interest in recent years aimed at understanding the relationship between the various different moments of the ultrasound echo signal and the scattering microstructure. This paper considers the variation of second normalized intensity moments with probe pulse bandwidth theoretically and experimentally. Slope and intercept on this graph are shown to be useful features for the microstructure characterization.


Tantalum Oxide Thin Films For Microelectronic Applications, Fang-Xing Jiang, Santosh Kurinec Jan 1995

Tantalum Oxide Thin Films For Microelectronic Applications, Fang-Xing Jiang, Santosh Kurinec

Articles

Over the last several years, tantalum pentoxide (Ta2O5) thin films have received much attention as chip integrated high permittivity, high breakdown strength dielectrics for storage capacitors for ULSI DRAMs. We have studied the properties of reactively sputtered films of Ta2O5 on silicon wafers. These films have been characterized for refractive index. X-ray diffraction studies on films annealed in oxygen ambient at 800°C show the films to crystallize into an orthorhombic phase with an increase in refractive index with respect to the bulk value. Various capacitor configurations such as MIM, MIS (on p-type and n-type Si substrates) have been fabricated to …


Dephased Index And Gain Coupling In Distributed Feedback Lasers, David Cardimona, Mohinder Sharma, Vassilios Kovanis Jan 1995

Dephased Index And Gain Coupling In Distributed Feedback Lasers, David Cardimona, Mohinder Sharma, Vassilios Kovanis

Articles

In this paper, we study the reflection coefficient of a periodic Bragg reflecting structure in which there exists both an index-of-refraction grating as well as a gain grating. Most past studies have assumed that these two gratings were in phase with each other. In the present work we investigate the effects that arise when a phase shift is purposely introduced between the two gratings. We use a normal coupled-wave analysis to calculate the reflection coefficient as a function of the detuning away from the Bragg frequency when this grating phase difference is varied from 0 to 2π. We find particular …


Estimating The Impacts Of Restrictions On Utility Participation In The So2 Allowance Market, James Winebrake, Mark Bernstein, Alex E. Farrell Jan 1995

Estimating The Impacts Of Restrictions On Utility Participation In The So2 Allowance Market, James Winebrake, Mark Bernstein, Alex E. Farrell

Articles

There can be both direct and indirect restrictions on utility participation in the Clean Air Act S02 allowance-trading market. Using a dynamic, linear programming model to estimate the economic impacts of these restrictions, indications are that the restrictions are quite costly, and that any constraints on the free operation of an allowance market will increase the total costs of compliance.

What The Civil Rights Movement Was And Wasn't, Cass R. Sunstein Jan 1995

What The Civil Rights Movement Was And Wasn't, Cass R. Sunstein

Articles

In this David C. Baum Memorial Lecture on Civil Liberties and Civil Rights, Professor Sunstein begins by noting that participants in the civil rights movement were often backward looking and even conservative, invoking commitments from the nation's past and arguing against reliance on the judiciary and the Supreme Court. They stressed above all two time-honored liberal principles: freedom from desperate conditions and opposition to caste. It is wrong to say (as many now do) that the movement was founded on a principle of race neutrality, and also wrong to say (as some now do) that the movement was opposed to …


Remedies When Contracts Lack Consent: Autonomy And Institutional Competence, Richard Craswell Jan 1995

Remedies When Contracts Lack Consent: Autonomy And Institutional Competence, Richard Craswell

Articles

Autonomy-based theories hold that enforceable contracts require the knowing and voluntary consent of the parties. In defining "knowing" and "voluntary," however, autonomy theorists have paid little attention to the remedy that will be granted if consent is round to be lacking, or to the question of what obligations (if any) will be enforced in place of the unconsented-to contract. In this paper, I expand on Michael Trebilcock's argument that considerations of institutional competence-specifically, the relative ability of courts and private actors to craft acceptable substitute obligations-should sometimes play a key role in defining what counts as "knowing" and "voluntary" consent.
