Flowers Of Ice- Beauty, Symmetry, And Complexity: A Review Of The Snowflake: Winter's Secret Beauty, John A. Adam

Mathematics & Statistics Faculty Publications

(First paragraph) Growing up as a child in southern England, my early memories of snow include trudging home from school with my father, gazing at the seemingly enormous snowdrifts that smoothed the hedgerows, fields and bushes, while listening to the soft “scrunch” of the snow under my Wellington boots. In the country, snow stretching as far as I could see was not a particularly uncommon sight. The quietness of the land under a foot of snow seemed eerie. I cannot remember the first time I looked at snowflakes per se; my interests as a small child were primarily in their …

Risk Management In Crm Security Management, Mahdi Seify

Research outputs pre 2011

In an increasing competitive world, marketing survival can be depended simply on timely new information on customers and market trend. One of the most important strategies in CRM (Customer Relationship Management) is to capture enough information from customers and using this information carefully [Ryals , Tinsley]. Of course security of this information is very important in CRM data management [Bryan]. Data management is a method for scheduling and controlling data saving, recovering and processing. This activity has been done continually or periodically[Bryan]. Security level of this information depends on the security policy of the organization. CRM security policy is the …

Benchmarking E-Business Security: A Model And Framework, Graeme Pye, Matthew J. Warren

Research outputs pre 2011

The dynamic nature of threats and vulnerabilities within the E-business environment can impede online functionality, compromise organisational or customer information, contravene security implementations and thereby undermine online customer confidence. To negate these problems, E-business security has to become proactive, by reviewing and continuously improving security to strengthen E-business security measures and policies. This can be achieved through benchmarking the security measures and policies utilised within the E-business, against recognised information technology (IT) and information security (IS) security standards.

Architecture For Self-Estimation Of Security Level In Ad Hoc Network Nodes, Reijo Savola

Research outputs pre 2011

Inherent freedom due to a lack of central authority of self-organised mobile ad hoc networks introduces challenges to security and trust management. In these kinds of scenarios, the nodes themselves are naturally responsible for their own security – or they could trust certain known nodes, called “micro-operators”. We propose an architecture for security management in self-organising mobile ad hoc networks that is based on the nodes’ own responsibility and node-level security monitoring. The aim is to predict, as well as to monitor the security level concentrating on the principal effects contributing to it.

Detecting Rogue Access Points That Endanger The Maginot Line Of Wireless Authentication, Zhiqi Tao, A. B. Ruighaver

Research outputs pre 2011

The rapid growth in deployment of wireless networks in recent years may be an indication that many organizations believe that their system will be adequately secured by the implementation of enhanced encryption and authentication. However, in our view, the emphasis on cryptographic solutions in wireless security is repeating the history of the “Maginot Line”. Potential attackers of wireless networks currently will find many ways to get access to wireless networks to compromise the confidentiality of information without the need to crack the encryption. In this paper we analyze how rogue access points threaten the security of an organization’s wireless network …

Why The Eeoc (Still) Matters, Anne Noel Occhialino, Daniel Vail

Hofstra Labor & Employment Law Journal

Co-authored by two attorneys in the Office of General Counsel at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, this article first traces the history of the EEOC, which shares the same birthday as Title VII, with a focus on the Commission's charge processing, investigation, conciliation and litigation practices against private employers. Next, the article describes the Commission's current charge-processing system and litigation practice. Finally, the authors explore the question of whether the EEOC still matters forty years after Title VII's enactment.

Refractive Indices Of Liquid Crystals And Their Applications In Display And Photonic Devices, Jun Li

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Liquid crystals (LCs) are important materials for flat panel display and photonic devices. Most LC devices use electrical field-, magnetic field-, or temperature-induced refractive index change to modulate the incident light. Molecular constituents, wavelength, and temperature are the three primary factors determining the liquid crystal refractive indices: ne and no for the extraordinary and ordinary rays, respectively. In this dissertation, we derive several physical models for describing the wavelength and temperature effects on liquid crystal refractive indices, average refractive index, and birefringence. Based on these models, we develop some high temperature gradient refractive index LC mixtures for photonic applications, such …

Design, Fabrication, And Characterization Of Antenna-Coupled Metal-Oxide-Metal Diodes For Dual-Band Detection, Mohamed R. Abdel-Rahman, Brian Monacelli, Arthur R. Weeks, Guy Zummo, Glenn D. Boreman

Faculty Bibliography 2000s

Two designs for antenna-coupled Ni-NiO-Ni diodes are fabricated and tested for dual-band detection in the millimeter-wave (MMW), 94-GHz, and infrared (IR), 28.3-THz, frequencies. The detector noise, antenna receiving properties, and noise equivalent power (NEP) are measured. The simultaneous dual-band response is verified.

Wave Dynamics In Optically Modulated Waveguide Arrays, Mark J. Ablowitz, Keith Julien, Ziad H. Musslimani, Michael I. Weinstein

Faculty Bibliography 2000s

A model describing wave propagation in optically modulated waveguide arrays is proposed. In the weakly guided regime, a two-dimensional semidiscrete nonlinear Schrodinger equation with the addition of a bulk diffraction term and an external "optical trap" is derived from first principles, i.e., Maxwell equations. When the nonlinearity is of the defocusing type, a family of unstaggered localized modes are numerically constructed. It is shown that the equation with an induced potential is well-posed and gives rise to localized dynamically stable nonlinear modes. The derived model is of the Gross-Pitaevskii type, a nonlinear Schrodinger equation with a linear optical potential, which …

Non-Gaussian Statistics Of Optical Near-Fields, A. Apostol, A. Dogariu

Faculty Bibliography 2000s

Optical fields in the proximity of random media can be modeled as a superposition of waves with random phases. We demonstrate that, depending on the experimental geometry, both Gaussian and non-Gaussian regimes can be established for the statistics of scattered intensity. In a reflection-emission configuration, the first-order statistics of the scattered light is non-Gaussian and it can be used to retrieve information about the physical interface.

On The Relationship Of Magnetocrystalline Anisotropy And Stoichiometry In Epitaxial L1(0) Copt (001) And Fept (001) Thin Films, K. Barmak, J. Kim, L. H. Lewis, K. R. Coffey, M. F. Toney, A. J. Kellock, J. -U. Thiele

Faculty Bibliography 2000s

Two series of epitaxial CoPt and FePt films, with nominal thicknesses of 42 or 50 nm, were prepared by sputtering onto single-crystal MgO(001) substrates in order to investigate the chemical ordering and the resultant magnetic properties as a function of alloy composition. In the first series, the film composition was kept constant, while the substrate temperature was increased from 144 to 704 degrees C. In the second series the substrate temperature was kept constant at 704 degrees C for CoPt and 620 degrees C for FePt, while the alloy stoichiometry was varied in the nominal range of 40-60-at. % Co(Fe). …

Characterization Of A Wavelength-Tunable Antenna-Coupled Infrared Microbolometer, Michael A. Gritz, Meredith Metzler, Mohamed Abdel-Rahman, Brian Monacelli, Guy Zummo, Donald Malocha, Glenn D. Boreman

Faculty Bibliography 2000s

Wavelength tuning is demonstrated in an antenna-coupled infrared microbolometer. With a 300-mV control voltage, we observed a tuning range of 0.5 mu m near 10 mu m. A metal-oxide-semiconductor capacitor underneath the antenna arms causes the shift of resonance wavelength with applied voltage. We develop a device model that agrees well with measured results.

Extraordinarily High-Contrast And Wide-View Liquid-Crystal Displays, Qi Hong, Thomas X. Wu, Xinyu Zhu, Ruibo Lu, Shin-Tson Wu

Faculty Bibliography 2000s

A computer simulation model based on oblique-angle Jones matrix and Poincare sphere is developed for optimizing the design of film-compensated multidomain vertical-alignment liquid crystal display (VA-LCD). According to this design, a contrast ratio higher than 10 000:1 is predicted over the entire +/- 85 degrees viewing cone for the four-domain VA-LCD. Potential application for liquid-crystal display television is emphasized.

Vector Discrete Nonlinear Surface Waves, Jared Hudock, Sergiy Suntsov, Demetrios N. Christodoulides, George I. Stegeman

Faculty Bibliography 2000s

It is theoretically shown that multi-component discrete vector surface waves can exist in arrays of coupled waveguides. These mutually trapped surface states primarily reside in the first waveguide of a semi-infinite array. The existence and stability of such surface waves are systematically investigated.
