the characteristics of Augmented Reality systems, including a detailed discussion of the tradeoffs between optical and video blending approaches. Registration and sensing errors are two of the biggest problems in building effective Augmented Reality systems, so this paper summarizes current efforts to overcome

Abstract A new type of glass fibers with optical characteristics unattainable by the conventional fiber processing method is presented. Silica glass fibers containing ZnO-Al 2 O 3 -SiO 2 (ZAS) glass-ceramics particles doped with Co 2þ in the core region of the optical fiber were developed using a

in the entire atmospheric column. Here, 8 yr of worldwide distributed data from the AERONET network of ground-based radiometers were used to remotely sense the aerosol absorption and other optical properties in several key locations. Established procedures for maintaining and calibrating the global network

This study focuses on the routing and Wavelength-Assignment (RWA) problem in wavelength-routed optical WDM networks. Most of the attention is devoted to such networks operating under the wavelength-continuity constraint, in which lightpaths are set up for connection requests between node pairs

for optical routers using fiber delay line buffer. The LAUC-VF (Latest Available Unused Channel with Void Filling) channel scheduling algorithm is studied in detail. Initial results on the burst traffic characteristics and on the performance of optical routers in the OBS network with self-similar traffic

Abstract-A comprehensive compilation of published optical properties (absorption, scattering, total attenuation, effective attenuation, andlor anisotropy coefficients) of various biological tissues at a variety of wavelengths is presented. The theoretical foundations for most experimental

clouds, with vertical extents of 3 to 5 km. Because of the combination of high absorption, a regional distribution roughly aligned with solar irradiance, and the capacity to form widespread atmospheric brown clouds in a mixture with other aerosols, emissions of black carbon are the second strongest

-Lagrangian characteristic tracing technique is used to advect the velocity, smoke density, and even the level set making implementation on an octree straightforward. In the case of smoke, we have multiple refinement criteria including object boundaries, optical depth, and vorticity concentration. In the case of water, we

Abstract: Using a sample of 32 developed and developing countries we analyze the empirical characteristics of sudden stops in capital flows and the relevance of balance sheet effects in the likelihood of their materialization. We find that large real exchange rate (RER) fluctuations coming hand
