Dr-tree 2™
Published Tuesday, October 21, 1997DR-tree is a spatial access method for multidimensional rectangles. The system is able to store and manage ‘n’-dimensional rectangles, and specifically to insert new rectangles; delete existing rectangles; search for data rectangles that intersect a query rectangle; and search for pairs of data rectangles that are within a given distance. DR-tree...

Virtual Electronic Network University Scheduler (VENUS™)
Published Tuesday, October 21, 1997VENUS generates student course schedules based on information from university computers. After the student enters the desired courses, VENUS considers all possible permutations and returns to the student those schedules that best fit the specifications. VENUS’ interface is over the World-Wide Web, so platform independence and overall availability...

Bacterial Strains and imp Mutations that Result in Altered Cellular Permeability
Published Tuesday, April 30, 1996Bacteria are a major cause of contamination in food and water-borne diseases. To eliminate and treat bacterial infections many drugs are formulated and synthesized. Chemicals synthesized as potential anti microbial compounds and/or therapeutic drugs need to be tested for their efficacy. To do this, a good screening system with a test bacteria is...

A Method for Improving the Germinability of Seeds
Published Tuesday, April 30, 1996The germination rate of crop seeds influences the final yield of crops planted by a farmer, yet currently there is no effective method for ensuring a high seed germination rate. In particular, seeds that have been stored for any length of time tend to show lower germination rates over time.A researcher at Salisbury State University, in...

Joint Device for Capacitive Microwave Coupling
Published Tuesday, April 30, 1996It has already been demonstrated that for a number of microwave device applications devices made of metal-oxide superconductors such as YBa2Cu3O7 can have performance superior to those made of conventional metals such as Au or Cu. Some of the major obstacles to their implementation in a wide range of systems applications arise from (1) the costly...

Superconducting Active Lumped Components for Microwave Device Applications
Published Tuesday, April 30, 1996In general, the size advantage of normal or superconducting lumped components over distributed components makes them attractive for low-frequency (~0.1 - 20GHz) and broad-band microwave circuits.For some applications with more stringent requirements, the use of metal-oxide superconducting materials such as YBa2Cu3O7 is expected to be...

Superconductor/Insulator Metal-Oxide Heterostructures for Electric Field Tunable Microwave Devices
Published Tuesday, April 30, 1996It is desirable to have active circuit elements to be used in superconducting microwave device applications. Among various methods to modulate the microwave response of a circuit (i.e. obtain active response), the electric field induced modulation has clear advantages such as low energy consumption, input-output current isolation and high input...
