In this paper, a new nonlinear process monitoring technique based on kernel principal
component analysis (KPCA) is developed. KPCA has emerged in recent years as a promising …

In this paper we propose a new statistical method for process monitoring that uses independent
component analysis (ICA). ICA is a recently developed method in which the goal is to …

The photostability of rhodamine 6G, rhodamine 610 and pyrromethene 567 in solutions, wet-gel
and dried sol-gel host media has been determined. A method for the synthesis of …

Laser-wakefield acceleration offers the promise of a compact electron accelerator for
generating a multi-GeV electron beam using the huge field gradient induced by an intense laser …

Table-top laser-driven plasma accelerators are gaining attention for their potential use in
miniaturizing future high-energy accelerators. By irradiating gas jet targets with ultrashort …

High-contrast, 30 fs, 1.5 PW laser pulses are generated from a chirped-pulse amplification (CPA)
Ti:sapphire laser system at 0.1 Hz repetition rate. The maximum output energy of 60.2 J …

Compared to nanostructured platinum (Pt) catalysts, ordered Pt-based intermetallic
nanoparticles supported on a carbon substrate exhibit much enhanced catalytic performance, …

Widespread applications of magnetic devices require an efficient means to manipulate the
local magnetization. One mechanism is the electrical spin-transfer torque associated with …

Transglutaminase 2 (TGase 2) expression is increased in inflammatory diseases. We
demonstrated previously that inhibitors of TGase 2 reduce nitric oxide (NO) generation in a …

We report on the generation of 1.0PW, 30fs laser pulses at a 0.1Hz repetition rate from a
chirped-pulse amplification Ti:sapphire laser system. The energy of the laser pulses is amplified …
