Raman spectroscopy and x-ray diffraction are used to characterize Gallium Nitride (GaN) films grown on (100) Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) substrates. Reflection X-ray diffraction data from (200) planes of GaAs and cubic GaN are presented. The linewidth of the cubic GaN diffraction peak is shown to be a strong function of the growth temperature. Raman spectra are presented for a series of samples grown at different temperatures. Raman scattering is characterized by strong peaks at 560 cm-1 and at 736 cm-1, corresponding to TO and LO phonon modes of cubic GaN, respectively. An additional, unexplained feature at 768 cm-1 is clearly observed in Raman spectra of c-GaN samples grown at lower temperatures. The polarization dependence of the intensity of the GaN LO phonon mode is presented and compared with the GaAs LO phonon mode to establish the relative orientation of the c-GaN epitaxy on GaAs.
Pulsed laser ablation of atheromatous arteries was studied at three wavelengths in the near ultraviolet, visible, and near infrared regions of the spectrum. The experiments were done with an Nd:YAG laser, 9 nsec pulse...

This paper presents a method of test compaction for stuck-at faults in combinational circuits, that complements previously proposed methods and allows further reduction in test set size in a cost-effective way. A given test set is compacted by generating additional test vectors. Each test vector added allows the removal of two or more test vectors from the existing test set, thus reducing its size. Experimental results for benchmark circuits demonstrate the effectiveness of the method.< >

Concerns neural network architectures for modelling time-dependent signals. A number of algorithms have been published for multilayer perceptrons with synapses described by finite impulse response (FIR) and infinite impulse response (IIR) filters (the latter case is also known as locally recurrent globally feedforward networks). The derivations of these algorithms have used different approaches in calculating the gradients, and in this paper we present a short, but unifying account of how these different algorithms compare for the FIR case, both in derivation, and performance. A new algorithm is subsequently presented. In this paper, results are compared for the Mackey-Glass chaotic time series (1977) against a number of other methods including a standard multilayer perceptron, and a local approximation method.< >

Four separate models have been developed during the past thirty years to account for the electrical, mechanical and thermal aspects of the behavior of stranded overhead conductors. Each model contains a number of variables, and some of these variables are common to two or more of the models. Hence, the design of overhead line conductors is usually undertaken in a rather piecemeal fashion. This paper describes the unified model, which incorporates electromagnetic, mechanical, and radial and steady-state thermal models. An example is given of the design of an ACSR conductor.< >

Problems associated with the proximity of buildings and trees and the clashing of bare conductors have stimulated the world-wide trend towards the use of insulated conductors (cables) for the overhead distribution of electric power. An IEC Guide, Publication 287-2, proposes a method for determining the current-carrying capacity of a single core or cable in still air, but does not include multicore cables or cables in moving air. This paper summarises recent work on the heat transfer from single and multi-core cables in conditions of natural or forced convection. It is shown that certain assumptions in the IEC Guide are incorrect, and a method is proposed for determining the ampacity of overhead cables under various atmospheric conditions.< >

Using both XRD and HRTEM lattice imaging, we have shown that CO2 laser pyrolysis (LP) produces nanoscale transition metal carbide and nitride catalysts, including cubic Mo2C, Mo2N, and W2N, which possess highly crystalline structures in their as-synthesized form In contrast, LP-produced W2C in its hexagonal phase is disordered. Clear lattice expansion, induced by the small crystallite size of the nanoparticles has been observed for LP-produced Mo2C particles, which have a typical crystallite size of 2 nm. No carbon coating was observed in HRTEM for LP-produced Mo2C particles. Furthermore, Mo=N and Mo=C bonding in Mo2N and Mo2C, respectively, were identified by an XPS measurement, which also reveals the presence of a thin oxide layer formed on the particle surface during the passivation process. Finally, the average crystallite sizes determined from HRTEM and XRD are in good agreement, indicating that the line broadening observed in XRD is due to the small crystallite size of the nanoparticles.

We present a multiuser receiver which is capable of operating in time-variant channels with severe multipath. For each active user, the receiver consists of a multi-input, single-output filter followed by a single-user adaptive equalizer. The array processing filter is chosen to maximize an averaged performance metric which measures reduction in the interference from multiple asynchronous cochannel users and the reduction in intersymbol interference caused by time spreading of the transmitted signal. The single-user adaptive equalizer that follows the array processing filter eliminates the remaining intersymbol interference prior to hard symbol decisions. Receiver performance is demonstrated using data obtained from two acoustic channels where two cochannel users are transmitting in shallow-water at 18 and 30 nautical miles from the receiver array.< >
