The research develops the formulation that helps to quantify the linear lens' transmittance loss and prism-tip scattering loss and then derive a realistic model to simulate the measured data.
The mechanism incorporates optical geometry and ray tracing technique with the components of solar spectrum, refractive index information of lens materials, and the formulation for quantifying the concentrator systems' transmittance loss and prism-tip dispersion loss.
The dimensions of the gold prisms' tips, the thickness of the membrane, and the geometry of the nanopore were identical in the FDTD and all-atom MD models.
For the correction of group velocity dispersion we used isosceles SF14 prisms (CASIX, Inc).; tip-to-tip prism separation was 43 cm.
Of the nearly 40 systems out there, which read like an alphabet of suspicion, those we're now familiar with include ACQUAINT, Boundless Informant, Bullrun, ECHELON, FAST, GUARDIAN, Mystic, NGI, PRISM, PROMIS and TIP.
A hexahedral, prism-like ZnO was synthesized with a sharp but irregular tip (Figures 1c and 2c).
Four types of GaAs microstructure, that is, triangular pore arrays, prism-like pillar arrays, circular pore arrays and needle-like tip arrays, could be obtained by optimizing the chemical etching and anodization conditions.
As the vortex grows and moves downstream, the vortex line stretches in a stream-wise direction near the tip of the vortex which does not move and stays still just behind the prism throughout a cycle.
The nanorod exhibits the taper-like, hexagonal prism-like, tower-like or bamboo shoot-shaped body and the pyramid-like or pencil-like tip.
The memory of World War II looms large in popular American representations of Europe (remember the "cheese-eating surrender monkeys" during a high-point of francophobia in the early 2000s?), and so it is understandable that "fascism" is on the tips of many tongues when looking at events in Europe, but such a limited prism can easily distort our perspective of contemporary politics.
The furor over Prism colored a visit last week to Berlin by President Obama, who defended the program, noting that American intelligence tips had helped foil some 50 terrorist actions in recent years, including some unspecified activities in Germany.
