Ultrasound Contrast Imaging Research
(2003)
This article is a review of the research on ultrasound contrast agents in general imaging. While general imaging contrast agent applications are still undergoing investigation and waiting FDA approval in the United States, ...
Synthesis, characterization, and study of octanuclear iron-oxo clusters containing a redox-active Fe4O4-cubane core
(2008)
A one-pot synthetic procedure yields the octanuclear FeIII complexes Fe8(μ4-O)4(μ-pz*) 12X4, where X = Cl and pz* = pyrazolate anion (pz = C3H3N2-) (1), 4-Cl-pz (2), and 4-Me-pz (3) or X = Br and pz* = pz (4). The crystal ...
Evaluating the microstructure and performance of nanocomposite PVD TiAlBN coatings
(2002)
Physical vapour deposition (PVD) TiAlBN coatings can exhibit excellent wear resistance, with optimised coating compositions demonstrating a 150% increase in lifetime compared to standard TiAlN coatings in wet-cutting drill ...
Electron spectroscopic studies of nanocomposite PVD TiAlBN coatings
(2002)
A range of TiAlBN coatings have been deposited by electron beam evaporation and the optimised composition exhibits a 150% improvement over single phase TiAlN coatings in drilling tests. The coatings have been analysed by ...
Representing anisotropy of two-point second-order turbulence velocity correlations using structure tensors
(2008)
A locally homogeneous representation for the two-point, second-order turbulent velocity fluctuation Rij(x,r) = 〈u′i(x)u′i(x+r)〉 is formulated in terms of three linearly independent structure tensors [Kassinos et al., J. ...

Relations between information theory, robustness and statistical mechanics of stochastic uncertain systems via large deviation theory
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2006)
Robustness issues of stochastic uncertain controlled systems are intimately related to concepts from information theory and statistical mechanics. These relations are unveiled by using the theory of large deviations through ...
