Testing Aerosol Properties in MODIS Collection 4 and 5 Using Airborne Sunphotometer Observations in INTEX-B/MILAGRO
We compare AATS retrievals of spectral aerosol optical depth (AOD) and related aerosol properties with corresponding spatially coincident and temporally near-coincident measurements acquired by the MODIS-Aqua and MODIS-Terra satellite sensors.

Frequency Domain Measurements on Turbid Media with Strong Absorption Using the Pn Approximation
We have applied the frequency-domain technique to measurement of the optical properties of turbid media with strong absorption in the infinite medium limit.

From Cold Fusion to Condensed Matter Nuclear Science: 20 Years of Research
Nuclear fusion, as conventionally understood, is a process whereby the nuclei of light elements fuse together to form heavier ones.

Morphology of Graphene on Sic (000 1-) Surfaces
Graphene is formed on SiC(000-1) surfaces (the so-called C-face of the crystal) by annealing in vacuum, with the resulting films characterized by atomic force microscopy, Auger electron spectroscopy, scanning Auger…
