Williams, Clayton C. | High-resolution photothermal laser probe | An advance in photothermal imaging is described. A photothermal laser probe is presented that operates at a frequency of 1 GHz. At this frequency the spacial resolution is limited only by the optical spot size of the probe beam. The photothermal sensitivity of the probe is 1.2 X 10-4 degrees Celsiu... | Laser probes | 1985 |

Caserta, Michael; Lund, Dale A. | Identifying elderly with coping difficulties after two years of bereavement | This study answers three research questions. First, what proportion of the elderly are experiencing major coping difficulties after two years of bereavement? Second, what factors in early bereavement distinguish between those with difficulties and the others? Third, what set of factors are the best... | Coping difficulties | 1985 |

Henderson, Thomas C. | The importance of unknows in Epidemiologic studies | 1. Epidemiologic study data often include omitted/unobtainable responses (unknowns). In most cases, unknowns are eliminated during data-reduction to facilitate analysis. We examined the effect that elimination of unknowns would have on mortality calculations using data on newborns admitted to a newb... | Unknowns; Mortality calculations | 1985 |

Seger, Jon | Intraspecific resource competition as a cause of sympatric speciation | [In most models of speciation], the fitness value of an animal is determined by the genotype it has, and the habitat in which it lives. In a more realistic model it should also depend on how much necessary resource is available for the animal and the competition from other genotypes for this resourc... | Phenotype; Models; Species | 1985 |

Landesman, Bruce M. | Justice: cosmic or communal? | What are the ground rules to be used for determining the scope and breadth of justice? What human activities does it cover, how much does it demand, what duties does it require? How are conflicting "intuitions" on these matters to be adjudicated? These questions are raised by Theodore Benditt's "The... | | 1985 |

Ailion, David Charles | NMR spectra and relaxation in incommensurate systems in the presence of a devil's staircase | The possibility of discriminating true incommensurate phases from long period commensurate phases via NMR lineshape and spin-lattice relaxation measurements is discussed. The theoretical results are compared with experimental data in Rb2ZnCl4, Rb2ZnBr4, and [N(CH3)4]2ZnCl4. Devil's staircase effects... | Incommensurate phases; Commensurate phases; Phason gap; Spin-lattice relaxation | 1985 |

Clayton, Dale H. | Nocturnal foraging of yellow-crowned night herons in the Bahamas | Detailed observations of nocturnal foraging of the Yellow-crowned Night Heron (Nycticorax violacevs) are not to be found in the literature, though this species commonly feeds at night (Kushlan 1978, Riegner 1982a). I observed several Yellow-crowned Night Herons foraging during November and December... | Nocturnal foraging; Bahamas; Nycticorax violacevs | 1985 |

Miller, Joel Steven; Epstein, Arthur J. | Noise-power studies of the nearly commensurate quasi-one-dimensional conductor (N-methylphenazinium)x(phenazine)1-x(7,7,8,8-tetracyano-p-quinodimethane) [(NMP)x(Phen)1-x(TCNQ) | We report the noise power of (NMP)x(Phen)1-x(TCNQ) as a function of temperature (100 <_ T <_ 300 K), frequency (1<_f<_10(4) Hz), electric field (0 <_E<_300 V/cm), and conduction-electron density (0.49<_x<_0.59). The results for the commensurate, doped commensurate, and incommensurate regimes are sim... | Fluctuations; Solitons | 1985 |

Stringfellow, Gerald B. | Organometallic vapor phase epitaxial growth of AlGaInP | Alx Ga,, In, _ x _ y P with x + y = 0.51, lattice matched to the GaAs substrate, has been grown by organometaUic vapor phase epitaxy. The simple, horizontal, IR heated system operates at atmospheric pressure using the reactants TMA1, TMGa, TMln, PH3, and K2. Alloys giving room temperature, band edge... | Liquid phase epitaxial growth; LPE; Alloys; Surface morphology | 1985 |

Francis, Leslie | Poverty, age discrimination, and health care | In Euripides' play Alcestis, Alcestis' middle-aged husband, Admetus, is told by the gods that it is his turn to die next. Admetus bargains a reprieve, promising in exchange to find another soul to take his place. His friends all turn him down. So do his father and mother. Admetus rebukes his father... | Alcesti, Section, Objective | 1985 |

Bhanu, Bir; Henderson, Thomas C. | Range data processing: representation of surfaces by edges | Representation of surfaces by edges is an important and integral part of a robust 3-D model based recognition scheme. Edges in a range image describe the intrinsic characteristics about the shape of the objects. In this paper we present three approaches for detecting edges in 3-D range data. The ap... | Range data; Edges; Recognition scheme; 3-D | 1985 |

Bhanu, Bir | Recognition of 2-D occluded objects and their manipulation by PUMA 560 robot | A new method based on a cluster-structure paradigm is presented for the recognition of 2-D partially occluded objects. This method uses the line segments which comprise the boundary of an object in the recognition process. The length of each of these segments as well as the angle between successive ... | PUMA 560 robot; Cluster-structure paradigm; 2-D partially occluded objects | 1985 |

Keller, Robert M. | Rediflow architecture prospectus | Rediflow is intended as a multi-function (symbolic and numeric) multiprocessor, demonstrating techniques for achieving speedup for Lisp-coded problems through the use of advanced programming concepts, high-speed communication, and dynamic load-distribution, in a manner suitable for scaling to upward... | Rediflow; Multi-function multiprocessors; Lisp-coded problems | 1985 |

Brown, Barbara B. | Residential territories: cues to burglary vulnerability | Newman's work on defensible space and Altman's work on territoriality were used to formulate a hypothesis that certain design elements enhance or reflect residential territoriality and thereby influence burglars' target selections. Specifically, evidence on the links from real and symbolic barriers... | Burglary; Residences; Territoriality; Homes | 1985 |

Bhanu, Bir | Segmentation of complex outdoor scenes | A new simpler approach to image segmentation via recursive region splitting and merging is presented. Unlike other techniques the kernel of splitting is based on a generalization of a two class gradient relaxation method and merging uses a statistical analysis of variance. | Image segmentation; Outdoor scenes; Recursive region splitting; Segmentation algorithm | 1985 |

Symko, Orest George | Spin glass behavior of Cd1-xMnxTe below the nearest-neighbor percolation limit | Magnetization measurements down to 10 mK of Cd, _ x Mn, Te for Mn concentrations 0.01<x<0.15 show spin glass behavior. Such behavior is attributed to short-range exchange and dipolar interactions. Both interactions are used to explain the concentration dependence of the spin freezing temperatures fo... | Spin glass behavior; Cd1-xMnxTe | 1985 |

Currently, most systems which support CAD/CAM do not provide for vision or manipulation and similarly, vision and manipulation systems incorporate no explicit relation to CAD/ CAM models.

Panangaden, Prakash | Verification of systolic arrays: a stream functional approach | We illustrate that the verification of systolic architectures can be carried out using techniques developed in the context of verification of programs.
