The design, fabrication, and characterization of a one-dimensional photonic crystal optical filter that has a relatively narrow, flat-topped passband within a wide stop band and small angular sensitivity is presented. The filter is based on a one-dimensional photonic crystal structure that has multiple defects, facilitating simultaneous minimization of the angular sensitivity and optimization o...

The prominent P wave associated with mitral stenosis is well recognized it is usually widened and is often notched, bifid, or flat-topped ; it is generally thought to be a result of left auricular hypertrophy. There is also some evidence that a tall spiked P wave may be produced by right auricular hypertrophy, for such a wave is rarely found except in cases of tricuspid stenosis," congenital pu...

Microtext can be considered one form of micro-messaging which can include non-digital communications which have been digitized. We present our experiences and some results analyzing micro-messages in both military command and control (C2) and more general “C2-Lite” domains in order to predict other information such as the performance of a team, the topics of discussion, or the spread of ideas. ...

The structural parameters and energies of the protonated compounds c/o5o-[B6H5HtacF]and c/o5o-[B6H5HtacCH3]_ are calculated by MP2/6-31G* optimization, as have the ’H, "B , 13C and i9F NMR shifts using a tzp basis set and the RHF/GIAO method. The results for the octahedral molecule anions confirm the preferred localization of the additional proton in [B6H5HtacX]~ in case of X = CH3 at the upper...
