We show that ultrafast surface science studies using the laser-assisted photoelectric effect can benefit from longer-wavelength infrared dressing beams. We compare soft-x-ray photoemission from a Pt 111 surface dressed by 1300 and 780 nm light. Using 1300 nm light, the amplitude of the laser-assisted photoelectric signal is enhanced sevenfold compared with 780 nm. This allows lower dressing las...

Participants (N=71) took part in mortgage interviews with a human agent interacting with a computer using four different communication modes: a standard video ink, a video link with video-data, the telephone and face-to-face. Video-plus-data came significantly higher in the rankings than phone. It is argued that video-plus-data was found to be more useful than phone, as it provided the particip...

Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and SU-8 are currently two very commonly used polymeric materials in the microfluidics field for biological applications. However, there is a pressing need to find a simple, reliable, irreversible bonding method between these two materials for their combined use in innovative integrated microsystems. In this paper, we attempt to investigate the aminosilane-mediated i...

This study explored the effects of 2Dversus 3D-based media representations on the influence of the spatial visualization ability of undergraduate science majors. A pre-test/post-test comparisongroup experiment was conducted with 23 participants involved in the study. Participating students were randomly assigned either to the interactive 3D media representation group (n = 13) or the conventiona...
