Investigation Of Tantalum Silicon Oxide As An Attenuated Phase Shift Masking Material For 157nm Lithography, Matthew Malley

Journal of the Microelectronic Engineering Conference

As the microelectronics industry trends toward 157nm lithography and device geometries shrink below O.1μm, it seems more than likely that phase shift masking will be necessary as a means of optical enhancement. The attenuated phase shift mask is an attractive tool by which lithographers hope to push their art to its limits. However, potential niaterials for use as the attenuating film at wavelengths as low as 157nm have yet to be determined. There are several requirements that must be met by a material before it will be considered seriously for use on attenuating phase shift masks. One material …

Online Victimization: A Report On The Nation’S Youth., David Finkelhor, Kimberly J. Mitchell, Janis Wolak

Crimes Against Children Research Center

The Internet is an exciting new territory for many young people. Nearly 24 million youth ages 10 through 17 were online regularly in 1999, and millions more are expected to join them shortly. They go there to Iearn, play, meet people, and explore the world. But stories from law-enforcement officials, parents, and young people themselves suggest that not every online adventure is a happy one. The Internet has a seamier side that young people seem to he encountering with great frequency.

This national survey confirms many of the stories. Large numbers of young people are encountering sexual solicitations they did …

Using Eye Tracking To Advance Learning Processes, Diane Kucharczyk

Theses

Eye movements and eye tracking are a part of imaging science that serves as a gateway to further understand cognitive processes. Human vision allows people to perceive a full visual field with the illusion of a high-resolution scene. However, the anisotropic retina only provides a small area called the fovea for high-resolution perception, while the majority of the visual field provides only low-resolution perception. Eye movements detected by the eye tracker are mostly executed to locate objects of one's attention on the fovea, in order to gain detailed information. These movements are meant to move the eye or stabilize the …

Color Tolerance: A Comparison Of The Method Of Constant Stimuli And The Gray Scale Comaprison Method On A Crt, David Wilbur

Theses

This research compares two psychophysical methods, the method of constant stimuli and the gray scale comparison method. Three color centers were chosen: Red(L*=47.4, a*=61.90, b*=49.5), Green(L*=65.00, a*=-67.6, b*=54.60), and Gray(L*=60, a*=0.00, b*=0,00). Each color center varied in three different directions, L*, C*, and H*. Ten color difference samples were chosen for each color center in each direction, for a total of 30 different samples for the red and green color centers and 10 samples for the gray color center. Each method employed the same three color centers. The sample paris were compared with a neutral anchor pair stimulus of 1.0 …

Thermal Calibration Of Misi, Janel Schubbuck

Theses

MISI (Modular Imaging Spectrometer Instrument) is a sensor that takes data of the earth in the visible, near infrared and long wave infrared portions of the spectrum. One use of MISI is as an under-flight sensor that evaluates the accuracy of the thermal channels of NASA’s Landsat 7 ETM+. The hypothesis of this research stated it was possible to calibrate MISI to 0.3 K. To confirm this hypothesis, a procedure that verifies that the blackbodies track temperature correctly was employed. This specific calibration error is required in order to validate Landsat’s accuracy to 0.5 K. To observe the temperature of …

Astronomical Hyperspectral Imaging Flatfield Corrections, Katherine Hoheusle

Theses

Using observations of data acquired through a tunable, liquid-crystal filter of the central region of the Jewel Box cluster, NGC4755, a tunable, liquid-crystal filter was tested to see how well low-resolution spectrophotometry of multiple stars within a moderately crowded field could be performed. To evaluate the filter, the filter’s central wavelength was stepped from 435 nanometers (nm) to 720 nm in successive intervals of 5 nm. Given the limited telescope time, the flatfield data obtained was stepped in intervals of 50 nm. Zoran Ninkov, Robert Slawson and Elliott Horch, the three RIT faculty/staff members working in the project, assumed that …

Focal Reducer/Wide-Field Corrector For The C. E. Kenneth Mees Telescope, Laurie Tuttle

Theses

Introduction of CCD astronomical imaging has had a tremendous impact on the astrophysical community. The greatest advantage to CCD astronomical imaging is the phenomenal increase in efficiency when compared to photographic plate imaging. Images which previously required exposure times in the range of several hours can be captured in a matter of seconds using a CCD astronomical imaging system. The disadvantage to using a CCD for astronomical imaging is the loss of information capture due to the change in size of the detector area. Originally equipped with a Boller and Chivens 3" x 5" photographic plate, the Mees telescope provided …

Development Of A Linear Version Of The Ciecam97s Chromatic Adaptation Transform, Matthew Ochs

Theses

Color appearance models are used to predict the perceived color of a source. Within these models are chromatic-adaptation transforms that predict matches only across different viewing conditions. They ignore many of the factors that are used later on in a model. This project was performed to create a simpler and easier to use chromatic-adaptation transform that was also a linear transform. This was based on the previously known CIECAM97s color appearance model and the non-linear chromatic-adaptation transform that it utilized. The research specifically attempted to create a new transform that will go from XYZ to RGB coordinates that will allow …

Derivative Spectroscopy For Remote Sensing Of Water Quality, Meghan Salmon

Theses

Derivative analysis of the major spectral components that combine to produce water color (water itself, chlorophyll, sediment, and organic matter) can be used to create algorithms for quantifying the water columnar constituents. The algorithms based upon this method of feature extraction will be more accurate and robust than traditional algorithms. This was done in a forward analysis manner, basing the research on the absorption spectra of the constituents. The spectral modeling completed indicates that derivative analysis can be used to estimate constituent concentration. Results indicate that the effectiveness of this method varies for different constituents. Previous work has focused on …

Rendering Multispectral Data As Useful 'Super-Visual' Images, Matthew Gypson

Theses

Due to the nature of mulitspectral images, it is difficult to present all available information in a single image. This study addresses the need for data compression, to enable faster and easier evaluation of a subject containing important details in a wide spectral range. The specific aim of this research is to construct algorithms to in effect compress sampled wide-band electromagnetic data into the visible range. This will present maximum image details within a final color image. The developed compression scheme aims to achieve the high efficiency while keeping the best quality of image subjects. Ancient documents (from the Dead …

A Search For Binary Stars Using Speckle Interferometry, Matthew Hoffmann

Theses

Fifteen suspected double stars from the Hipparcos satellite are analyzed to find new binary stars. The measures are derived from speckle observations taken with the Wisconsin-Indiana-Yale-NOAO (WIYN) 3.5 meter telescope located at Kitt Peak, Arizona. My research project was based on my Hypothesis: Speckle Interferometry allowed for diffraction-limited images to be captured by the WIYN telescope. Analysis of the speckle data from the WIYN allowed for the detection of the orbital motion of gravitationally bound binary stars and the detection of new double stars. Data from the WIYN telescope was taken using a low noise fast readout CCD array, which …

Tourism And Terrorism: A Historical Analysis Of Major Terrorism Acts And Their Impact On Tourism Destinations, Abraham Pizam, Ginger Smith

Rosen Faculty Scholarship and Creative Works

Since before the end of the Cold War, terrorism acts have had major effects on tourism destinations. As a result, the 'shadowy, mobile, and unpredictable' forces of terrorism are becoming an unfortunate part of the travel and tourism landscape. Few can forget the explosion that killed three in Paris in 1986, the home-made pipe bomb in Tel Aviv in 1990, the November 1997 massacre of 58 tourists at Luxor's Temple of Hatshepsut in Egypt, and the Kenyan and Tanzanian US Embassy truck bombings killing 263 in August 1998. This paper provides a quantitative analysis of major terrorism events around the …

Differential Expression Of Human Metallothionein Isoform I Mrna In Human Proximal Tubule Cells Exposed To Metals., S H. Garrett, S Somji, J H. Todd, M A. Sens, D A. Sens

Faculty & Staff Scholarship

In contrast to the single metallothionein (MT)-1 gene of the mouse, the human MT-1 gene family is composed of seven active genes and six pseudogenes. In this study, the expression of mRNA representing the seven active human MT-1 genes was determined in cultured human proximal tubule (HPT) cells under basal conditions and after exposure to the metals Cd2+, Zn2+, Cu2+, Hg2+, Ag2+, and Pb2+. Basal expression of MT-1X and MT-1E mRNA in HPT cells was similar to expression of the housekeeping gene glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase. In contrast, mRNAs representing the basal expression of MT-1A and MT-1F were a minor transcript …
