Determination Of Optical Constant Of Materials By Two Different Methods: An Application To Single Crystals Si, Hazi̇ret Durmuş, Haluk Şafak, Haldun Karabiyik

Turkish Journal of Physics

The normal reflectance of single crystal Si was measured at 0.5 ­5.6 eV range by unpolarized light. Optical parameters of Si were determined from this reflectance data by using two different methods: oscillator fit procedure and Kramers-Kronig analysis. The refractive index, extinction coefficient and the real and imaginary parts of complex dielectric constant obtained by these two methods were compared. A good agreement was found between two methods. Furthermore, the optical parameters so obtained seem to be in a satisfactory agreement with the literature.

Crystallographic Analysis Of Martensitic Transformation In Cusn Alloy, Ekrem Artunç, Seyfetti̇n Çakmak, Seval Çakmak

Turkish Journal of Physics

In this study, the Kajiwara model has been applied to Cu-14.8at.\%Sn alloy with good agreement with experimental results. For this alloy, the austenite phase has a body centered cubic (bcc) lattice and the martensite phase has a monoclinic 9R superlattice. Using the lattice parameters of both phases, the calculated habit plane indices, magnitude of the lattice invariant shear and orientation relationships, have been compared with the observed results for this alloy.

A Product Operator Formalism Of 3d J-Resolved Nmr Spectroscopy For Is_Nk_M(I = 1/2, S = 1/2, K = 1/2) Spin System, Özden Tezel, Azmi̇ Gençten

Turkish Journal of Physics

Product operator formalism is widely used for analytical description of multiple-pulse NMR experiments for weakly coupled spin systems. 3D J-resolved NMR spectroscopy is widely used in order to resolve the chemical shift along one axis and spin-spin coupling parameters along the two other axis. In this study, product operator theory is used for analytical description of heteronuclear 3D J-resolved NMR spectroscopy for the \( IS_nK_m (I=1/2, S=1/2, K=1/2; n=1,2, m=1,2,3) \) spin system.

Adolescent Endocrinology In Saudi Arabia, Mohamed A. Abdullah, Hamad S. Al-Salhi, Mona A. Anani, Liza Q. Melendrez

Saudi Medical Journal

OBJECTIVE: The importance of providing special health care services for adolescents has been recently stressed. In Saudi Arabia, adolescents have no special services. In this study, we describe our first 5 years experience of an adolescent endocrinology clinic in Security Forces Hospital. We believe it is the first clinic with this objective in the Kingdom. METHODS: An adolescent endocrinology clinic was run by a team composed of pediatric endocrinologist, diabetic nurse educator, clinic nurse and a dietician in collaboration with other supportive staff and consultants from other disciplines. The methodology of setting up, staffing and running the clinic is described. …

Substance Dependence. A Hospital Based Survey, Nayyer Iqbal

Surface Reconstruction Based On Lower Dimensional Localized Delaunay Triangulation, Gopi Meenakshisundaram

Link Foundation Modeling, Simulation and Training Fellowship Reports

We present a fast, memory efficient algorithm that generates a manifold triangular mesh S passing through a set of unorganized points Pc R3. Nothing is assumed about the geometry, topology or presence of boundaries in the data set except that P is sampled from a real manifold surface. The speed of our algorithm is derived from a projection-based approach we use to determine the incident faces on a point. We define our sampling criteria to sample the surface and guarantee a topologically correct mesh after surface reconstruction for such a sampled surface. We also present a new algorithm to find …

Image-Driven Simplification And Optimization Of Polygonal Models, Peter Lindstrom

Link Foundation Modeling, Simulation and Training Fellowship Reports

Model simplification is often used in computer graphics to reduce the complexity of large polygonal models. For many graphics applications, the goal of this process is to produce a coarser model that is visually similar to the original, allowing the complex original model to be replaced with little or no loss in perceived quality. Existing simplification techniques, however, rely on geometry-based heuristics as an indirect indicator of visual similarity. We propose a novel image-driven simplification method that uses rendered images of a model and an image metric as a means of measuring visual similarity. Using this approach, changes in appearance …

Theater Education And Emerging Technologies, Michael E. Butterworth

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Theater educators need compelling arguments for including the use of emerging technologies in the secondary theater classroom. The research documents the current uses of emerging technologies in the secondary theater classroom and contrasts the uses of traditional theater technologies with the uses of emerging technologies. Interviews with theater professionals identify current issues and practices in the theater community regarding the usage of technology.

A telephone survey of theater teachers reveals patterns of technology use in the Seattle School District. The research concludes that theater teachers have many tools at their disposal to teach students the processes of artistic problem solving …

The Singapore Legal System – History, Theory And Practice, Andrew B.L. Phang

Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law

Law is central to order and stability and, without order and stability, societal as well as economic viability (let alone progress) are impossible The alternative is 'rule of man', and all the dangers of fallibility and (consequently) despotism that that entails. One central difficulty has, of course, been the maintenance of the argument that law is consonant with objective truth for if the law does not in fact possess this quality, then the 'rule of law' turns out to be the 'rule of man' after all. However, it is difficult, on rational grounds at least, to reject the concept of …

Some Remarks On Fair Exchange Protocol, Jianying Zhou, Robert H. Deng, Feng Bao

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Fair exchange turns out to be an increasingly important topic due to the rapid growth of electronic commerce. An exchange is deemed to be fair if at the end of exchange, either each party receives the expected item or neither party receives any useful information about the other’s item. Several protocols for fair exchange have been proposed in recent years. In this paper, we first examine a newly published fair exchange protocol and point out its flaws and weaknesses. We then put forward a more efficient and secure protocol and give an informal analysis.

Solving A Supply Chain Optimization Problem Collaboratively, Hoong Chuin Lau, A. L. C. Lim, Q Liu

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

We propose a novel algorithmic framework to solve an integrated planning and scheduling problem in supply chain management. This problem involves the integration of an inventory management problem and the vehicle routing problem with time windows, both of which are known to be NP-hard. Under this framework, algorithms that solve the underlying sub-problems collaborate rigorously yet in a computationally efficient manner to arrive at a good solution. We will then present two algorithms to solve the inventory management problem: a complete mathematical model integrating integer programming with constraint programming, and an incomplete algorithm based on tabu search. We present experimental …

Concluding The Uruguay Round---Creating The New Architecture Of Trade For The Global Economy, Peter D. Sutherland

Fordham International Law Journal

This Essay is an attempt to go back to some of the principles and factors which lay behind the launching of the Uruguay Round and the package which resulted, to look at some of the current unease about the WTO, and to see where the institution may need to go to reassert its role to command fully public and political confidence once again.

Europe's Evolving Regulatory Strategy For Gmos --- The Issue Of Consistncy With Wto Law: Of Kine And Brine, Robert Howse, Petros C. Mavroidis

Fordham International Law Journal

This Essay deals with one question: If challenged, how would regulatory restrictions on genetically modified organisms ("GMOs") be judged by a World Trade Organization ("WTO") adjudicating body. Many of the controversies about the effect of WTO law on domestic regulation have been influenced by the view that the law as it stands may well impede the ability of governments to regulate new and uncertain risks to health and the environment. The result in the Beef Hormones case is often cited for this proposition. In this Essay we aim to show that, contrary to an increasingly widespread popular perception, if WTO …

The Julietta Gold Mining Project: Lessons For Project Finance In The Emerging Markets, Ian R. Coles

Fordham International Law Journal

This essay discusses the Julietta gold mining project and the categories of risk that investors and lenders look at when assessing the suitability of a project. The financing of projects on a limited recourse basis in the emerging markets is a subject that has received much attention over the course of the last several years. This has been particularly the case with respect to mining projects where declining commodity prices worldwide have led to the need for mining companies to access minerals in countries where the costs of extraction are lower than in the developed markets. The recent decline in …

International Project Finance And Arbitration With Public Sector Entities: When Is Arbitrability A Fiction?, Mark Kantor

Fordham International Law Journal

This article reviews the events surrounding two prominent arbitration decisions related to two Indonesia geothermal power projects sponsored by CalEnergy Company, Inc. ("CalEnergy"), known as the Patuha and Himpurna projects, and a Pakistani power project developed by the Hub Power Company, Ltd. ("HubCo"). The aggressive involvement of local courts in the CalEnergy and HubCo proceedings does not reassure investors relying on the perceived neutrality of international arbitral institutions to mitigate the risk of uncertain justice in unstable countries. The author asks: Are problems between State entities in troubled developing countries and international project sponsors simply not arbitrable as a practical …
