Millimeter (mm) and sub-mm wave radiation is increasingly becoming a region of interest as better methods are developed to detect in this wavelength range. The development of sensitive focal plane array (FPA) architectures as well as single pixel scanners has opened up a new field of passive detection and imaging. Spectral signatures of objects, a long standing area of interest in the Short Wave Infrared (SWIR), Mid-Wave (MWIR) and Long Wave-IR (LWIR) bands can now be assessed in the mm-wave/terahertz (THz) region. The advantage is that this form of radiation is not as adversely affected by poor atmospheric conditions compared to other bands. In this study, a preliminary experiment in a laboratory environment is performed to assess the radiance from targets with low infrared signatures in the millimeter wave/terahertz (THz) band (<1 THz). The goal of this approach is to be able to model the experimental results to better understand the mm-wave/THz signature of targets with low observability in the IR bands.

Synthesis of calcium hydroxyapatite-tricalcium phosphate (HA-TCP) composite bioceramic powders and their sintering behavior Kivrak, N; Tas, AC (1998-09-01) Composite (biphasic) mixtures of two of the most important inorganic phases of synthetic bone applications-namely, calcium hydroxyapatite (Ca-10(PO4)(6)(OH)(2) (HA)) and tricalcium phosphate (Ca-3(PO4)(2) (TCP))-were prepared as submicrometer-sized, chemically homogeneous, and high-purity ceramic powders by using a novel, one-step chemical precipitation technique. Starting materials of calcium nitrate tetrahydrate and diammonium hydrogen phosphate salts that were dissolved in appropriate amounts in distille...
Performance of solar cells fabricated on black multicrystalline Si by nanowire decoration Es, Fırat; Çiftpınar, Emine Hande; Demircioğlu, Olgu; Günöven, Mete; Kulakci, Mustafa; Turan, Raşit (2015-03-30) Vertically aligned Si nanowire (NW) arrays fabricated by metal-assisted etching technique were applied to industrial sized (156 mm x 156 mm) multicrystalline Si cells as an anti-reflective (AR) medium. The NW lengths (between 0.15 and 2.2 mu m) were controlled by etch duration from 5 to 50 min. A completely black surface could be observed, demonstrating excellent AR properties in the entire range of the solar spectrum, even without additional anti-reflective coating layer (e.g., SiNx:H). Standard Si solar c...
Measurement of small discharges in open channels by Slit Weir Aydın, İsmail; HINCAL, Onur (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2002-01-01) A rectangular slit weir is designed for measurement of small (<0.005 m(3)/s) discharges. The discharge coefficient is determined experimentally using the measured discharges and the corresponding heads over the weir. The relationship between the discharge coefficient and all relevant dimensionless parameters is investigated. It is concluded that the discharge coefficient can be represented solely as a function of Reynolds number.
Calculation of the damping constant and the relaxation time of the LA mode in the incommensurate phase of quartz Ates, S.; Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit (2021-04-01) The damping constant (linewidth) of the LA mode is calculated as a function of temperature for the incommensurate (INC) phase of quartz by using the models of the pseudospin-phonon (PS) coupled and the energy fluctuation (EF). For this calculation, the observed linewidth (Gamma(LA)) data are used at P = 0 and 80.5MPa from the literature. Close to the incommensurate phase between the alpha and beta phases of quartz, the observed Gamma(LA) and the frequency shifts (Delta v(LA) ) are also analyzed by the power...
Measurement of the mass difference between top and antitop quarks Chatrchyan, S.; et. al. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2012-06-01) A measurement of the mass difference between the top and the antitop quark (Delta m(t) = m(t) - m((t) over bar)) is performed using events with a muon or an electron and at least four jets in the final state. The analysis is based on data collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.96 +/- 0.11 fb(-1), and yields the value of Delta m(t) = -0.44 +/- 0.46 (stat.) +/- 0.27 (syst.) GeV. This result is consistent with equality of particle and antiparticle masses requ...
