Long range height variations in surface growth

Long-range surface polaritons in ultra-thin films of silicon.

We present an experimental and theoretical study of the optical excitation of long-range surface polaritons supported by thin layers of amorphous silicon (a-Si). The large imaginary part of the dielectric constant of a-Si at visible and ultraviolet (UV) frequencies allows the excitation of surface polariton modes similar to long-range surface plasmon polaritons on metals. Propagation of these m...

Annual variations in sea surface height northeast of the Hawaiian Islands

[1] A decade-long satellite altimeter data set is used to analyze the annual variations in the sea surface height (SSH) field northeast of the Hawaiian Islands. The annual harmonic amplitudes for the SSH and the along-island geostrophic flow are 2–4 cm and 2–4 cm s , respectively. Although these values are an order of magnitude smaller than the regional mesoscale eddy signals, the annual SSH si...

Dominant radial and height growth reveal comparable historical variations for common beech in north-eastern France

The Function of Pitch Range Variations in Samples of Emotional Expressions in Persian

This study aims at investigating the interface between emotion and intonation patterns (more specifically, duration and pitch amplitude of speech). To this end, the acoustic properties of spectral parameters related to speech prosody are investigated. The results of acoustic and Statistical analysis show that mean level and range of FO in the contours vary strongly as a function of the degree o...
