Polarization has become an increasingly concern for the United States, especially in recent years. The political parties have refrained from working together, but instead have been dehumanizing one another that has been ...
-
(2018-06-08)The single scattering properties of ice cloud particles are inferred from spaceborne multi-angle satellite sensors with two newly developed noise-resilient retrieval techniques. The first presented method parameterizes the ...
-
(1989)Computer simulation of halos caused by ice crystal scattering provides a simple and accurate qualitative measure of the intensity distribution. To correctly calculate intensities, the effects of polarization must be ...
-
(2014-12-16)This work presents the development of a hybrid reconfiguration technique used to achieve both frequency and polarization diversity in a 2.4 – 2.5 GHz microstrip antenna. This hybrid solution for the first time combines ...
-
(2013-07-29)The energy balance of the Earth is regulated in part by ice clouds, which both reflect shortwave solar radiation and absorb infrared radiation from the Earth. These clouds appear frequently worldwide, with up to 70% coverage ...
-
(2020-07-15)Regeneration of functional dentin remains challenging in regenerative dentistry since it requires a precise control of odontoblast polarization and differentiation. Both biophysical and biochemical factors have been proposed ...
-
(2021-01-11)Ice clouds account for significant uncertainties in our understanding of the current climate as well as our ability to predict future changes. The high spatiotemporal variability of ice clouds coupled with their unique ...
-
(2016-11-28)In the first part of this dissertation, we simulate the underwater polarized light field. A three-dimensional backward Monte Carlo code is developed to simulate light scattering for an atmosphere-ocean system. In this ...

(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)Over one million Americans are afflicted with skin cancer each year. Even though skin cancer has a 95% cure rate, approximately 10,000 people die in the United States each year of this disease. The current ABCDE(F) detection ...

The Nature of Supernovae Progenitors and Interstellar Dust: Light Echoes Around Type Ia Supernovae (2017-06-08)Incomprehensive knowledge on dust is hindering our study of the universe. For example, the type Ia supernovae (SNe) cosmology requires better estimation of interstellar extinction to reduce systematic uncertainties. The ...
-
(2012-10-19)Uncertainties associated with the microphysical and radiative properties of ice clouds remain an active research area because of the importance these clouds have in atmospheric radiative transfer problems and the energy ...
-
(2009-05-15)Programmable two-port polarization independent electro-optically wavelength tunable filters based on asymmetric Mach-Zehnder structure in LiNbO3 substrate have been developed for 1.55 µm application. The operation principle ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)An adding-doubling method is employed to calculate the reflected Stokes parameters for cirrus cloud layers composed of different habits and effective sizes. The elements of the Mueller matrix are determined from the reflected ...
-
(2017-08-16)Software Defined Radio (SDR) provides a platform for a reconfigurable communication system that is solely controlled by a software program with access to certain hardware modules. SDRs are typically connected to very ...
