Second harmonic generation (SHG),
a nonlinear optical tool, was used to
characterize DNA bound through a
chemical linker to the flat surface of a
hemispherical lens. Contact angle
measurements were used to guarantee
that the chemical linker did not hydrolyze
under experimental conditions. SHG
experiments followed the effects of salt...
This presentation contains information on the keynote paper "Health Monitoring of Early Age Concrete". The presentation was delivered by Surendra P. Shah at CONSEC'04 in Seoul, Korea on June 30, 2004.
The optical and magneto-optical properties of the ferromagnetic semiconductors, InMnAs and its alloy InMnAsP were investigated to determine the band structure and nature of the ferromagnetism in these materials. Alloys were grown by metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy. Infrared absorption of InMnAs was investigated to determine the presence and properties of...
This technical report shows the findings of acoustic emission and strain gage monitoring tests conducted by research engineers of Infrastructure Technology Institute from Northwestern University on April 18, 1997 in Sacramento, California.
This presentation contains information about the project "The future of transportation... and how we'll pay for it" by Joseph L. Schofer, Department f Civil & Environmental Engineering. The presentation was delivered at the 40th Anniversary Seminar Day at Northwestern University on April 18, 2009.
In 2008, the term "remix culture" is widely understood to refer to mash-up videos and movie parodies, distributed on websites such as YouTube and authored primarily by white male teenagers. This dissertation argues that digital remix was invented primarily by African American men, who, in the mid-1980s, began using digital...
Slides for a workshop for Northwestern University on sharing and preserving research findings using the library's resources. This workshop was delivered at Computational Research Day 2017.

This study examined the effects of swallow task on swallow physiology, respiratory phase relationships, and oxygen saturation in healthy adult males. This study hoped to provide a building block to clinically relevant research with individuals with compromised swallowing and respiration. Subjects included 40 healthy adult males with no history of...
Various methods for solving the partial contact of surfaces with regularly periodic profiles-- which might arise in analyses of asperity level contact, serrated surfaces or even curved structures--have previously been employed for elastic materials. A new approach based upon the summation of evenly spaced Flamant's solution is presented here to...
