As the characteristic dimensions of electronic devices continue to shrink, the ability to characterize their electronic properties at the nanometer scale has come to be of outstanding importance. In this sense, Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) is becoming an indispensable tool, …
X-Ray Fluorescence analysis (XRF) is a multi-elemental and nondestructive analytical method used in research and industrial applications. This book provides self-contained modules featuring XRF instrumentation, quantification methods, and other applications. It gives a survey of…
Sound Recollections investigates film narratives, spatial acoustics, and software interfaces to ultimately argue that recording studio culture is continually framed through the production and consumption of wide-spread media objects. While there is a wealth of scholarship focusi…
Richards (2006, 2010) suggests that wh-movement is prosodically driven. Based on the position of the Comp(lementizer) and the marking of prosodic phrase edges, he claims that if Comp is on one side and the language marks the opposite side of prosodic phrases, then the wh-phrase …
Traditional methods for measuring the adhesion between fiber and polymers, using single fibers, have problems due to the unknown frictional effects, Poisson's shrinkages or expansions, and uncertainties about failure process. Also environmental studies using these techniques are…
Sabkha soil is widely spread along the Arabian Gulf and Red Sea coasts and is found to be a problematic soil due to its acute water sensitivity and chemical aggressiveness. In many situations, there is a need to improve the load carrying capacity of sabkha and the use of geotext…
Congestion control is the most important part of ATM's ABR service since it has to fully utilize the available bandwidth without causing cell losses. The congestion control for high speed networks like ATM require a local flow controller at bottleneck nodes. In this thesis, we a…
