The pore size of the aluminum oxide is controllable and uniformly distributed, whereas the depth of the dots depends on the voltage applied; thus, this can serve as a convenient mold for fabricating tantalum into a nanodot array of specific diameter and depth.
The overall market for technology stocks, meanwhile, is in an apparently deepening slump, and last week more companies called off planned stock offerings than in any single week since April 2001, in the depths of the dot-com stock crash.
From the depth of this winter of dot-com discontent, it's hard to remember that just last March Internet development company Idealab! was flying high.
Like a huge pointillist painting, the background to all those well-known central figures is slowly but surely filling up with depth and colour from thousands of dots of new historical knowledge.
To give a sense of the depth of the project, the dots cover nearly every street corner in Manhattan, and an impressively larger number of locations throughout the rest of the city.
The 65-mile reservoir that runs to a depth of 100 feet is dotted by thousands of stubby remains of pine, oak and gum trees.
In the next recursion of dots, they are creatures of depth rather than line, heft rather than shape.
[ 11] showed that electrical microstimulation of disparity-tuned sites in V5/MT influenced perceptual decisions in a depth-discrimination task, based on altering the proportion of dots that carried a binocular disparity signal.
The interior lagoon slopes gently to a depth of 6 18 m and is dotted with approximately 850 patch reefs varying in size from 20 m2 to 10,000 m2.
Rotating structure from motion (SFM) cylinders comprise two transparent surfaces of random dots, which move in opposite directions; assignment of dots with opposite motion directions to different visual depth surfaces defines rotation direction.
