  • Vertical nanowire light-emitting diode 

    Konenkamp, R.; Word, Robert C.; Schlegel, C. (American Institute of Physics Inc, 2004)
    We report room-temperature, white-color electroluminescence in vertically oriented ZnO nanowires. Excitonic luminescence around 380 nm is observed as a shoulder on a broader defect-related band covering all of the visible ...

  • "Smart" baroreception along the aortic arch, with reference to essential hypertension 

    Kember, G. C.; Zamir, M.; Armour, J. A. (American Physical Society, 2004)
    An arterial model was used to show that the cumulative effects of wave reflections have a surprisingly pronounced effect on the pressure distribution in the root segment of the tree. Global arterial conditions play a role ...

  • Analysis of a rock slide stabilized with a toe-berm: A case study in British Columbia, Canada 

    Corkum, AG; Martin, CD (Elsevier, 2004)
    Practical experience has shown that slope movement can be controlled by the placement of a berm near the toe of the moving mass. During construction of the Revelstoke project (British Columbia, Canada), excavation of a ...
