Respirable asbestos detection using light scattering and magnetic alignment
(1998)
The detection of respirable asbestos fibres in the ambient environment has grown in importance as the health risks associated with this material have become more fully understood. However, there is no real-time method of ...
Polarimetry for the Gemini telescopes
(Int Soc for Optical Engineering, 1998)
Polarimeters at optical and near-IR wavelengths are increasingly available as part of facility instruments at major observatories, and are used for a large number of astronomical programs, ranging form nearby star-forming ...
Hot UV bright stars in globular clusters
(1998)
We have obtained medium-resolution spectra of seven UV-bright stars discovered on images of four southern globular clusters obtained with the Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (UIT). Effective temperatures, surface gravities ...
Boxed Sets : Television Representations of Theatre

Haptic virtual reality for blind computer users
(ACM Press, 1998)
This paper describes a series of studies involving a haptic device which can display virtual textures and 3-D objects. The device has potential for simulating real world objects and assisting in the navigation of virtual ...
Time-resolved quantum measurements using active detectors
(1998)
Time-resolved quantum measurements using active detectors are analyzed. It is shown that the time-resolved observation of a quantum field leads to a mode mismatch between observed field and detection device that unavoidably ...
