Nondestructive characterization of fiber couplers by a local perturbation method [PDF]
A technique for the nondestructive characterization of fiber couplers is demonstrated. A CO2 laser beam is scanned along the coupler length inducing a local perturbation to the coupler eigenmodes.

Protocol parameter selection for fiber-supported IEEE 802.16m networks [PDF]
In this paper we investigate protocol issues that might arise due to the extra fiber propagation delay in fiber-fed IEEE 802.16m networks. Our study indicates that although the fiber delay might affect network performance, an informed choice of protocol ...

Wood anatomy of boreal species in a warming world: a review
Global warming is affecting tree growth and forest productivity, especially in the Northern boreal ecosystems. Wood quality, which is largely determined by anatomical traits of wood, is vital for the forest industry and global carbon sequestration ...

The influence of fibre length and concentration on the properties of glass fibre reinforced polypropylene : 6. the properties of injection moulded long fibre PP at high fibre content [PDF]
The results of an investigation of the mechanical performance of injection moulded long glass fibre reinforced polypropylene with a glass fibre content in the range 0-73 weight % are presented. The composite modulus exhibited a linear dependence on fibre

An experimental study of the California bearing ratio of basalt fiber reinforced loess
In order to study the factors affecting the CBR value of the fiber-reinforced loess and the mechanism of the fiber-reinforced soil, chopped basalt fiber was used as the reinforcement material, and the CBR test was performed by changing the moisture ...

Single-mode fiber length for wavefront filtering
Stellar nulling interferometry offers the possibility of direct imaging of extrasolar planets necessary for the detection of extra-terrestrial life. Achieving optimum performance from the interferometers requires that the wavefronts of light reaching the

Hierarchical fiber bundle strength statistics [PDF]
Multi-scale modeling is currently one of the most active research topics in a wide range of disciplines. In this thesis we develop innovative hierarchical multi-scale models to analyze the probabilistic strength of fiber bundle structures.
