In a new experiment at the Final Focus Test Beam at SLAC a low-emittance 46.6-GeV electron beam is brought into collision with terawatt pulses of 1054 nm or 527 nm wavelength from a Nd:glass laser. Peak laser intensities of 10 W/cm have been achieved corresponding to a value of 0.6 for the parameter = eE=m!0c. In this case an electron that crosses the center of the laser pulse has near-unit int...

Absfracl-Multiple antenna radios are recently the subject of much research due to the significant improvements they offer in throughput and reliability in rireless communications. Research in the field of space-time coding has led to the design of modulation techniques offering improved performance. Their performance, although promising in simulations, needs to be studied in real wireless chann...

PURPOSE We describe a pediatric visual field (VF) test based on a computer game where software and hardware combine to provide an enjoyable test experience. METHODS The test software consists of a platform-based computer game presented to the central VF. A storyline was created around the game as was a structure surrounding the computer monitor to enhance patients' experience. The patient is ...

Advanced INSAR techniques using stable targets on the ground, such as buildings, have been successfully applied to deformation studies in city areas. However, in some cases high-quality reference measurements have not been available and the validations of the INSAR results have been based on data that probably is not adequate for this purpose. In 2005 the Finnish Geodetic Institute (FGI) establ...
