Nycthemeral Movements of Wintering Shorebirds Reveal Important Differences in Habitat Uses of Feeding Areas and Roosts
Most shorebirds depend on coastal habitats for much of their life cycle. The quality and diversity of feeding areas during the wintering period directly condition their winter survival, subsequent migration, a...

Time-of-flight measurements of ejected particles during dry laser cleaning
We propose an experimental approach which allows the characterization of the dynamics of the ejected particles in dry laser cleaning. Submicron silica particles on silicon substrates were illuminated by single...

Dry laser cleaning of anodized aluminium
Standard anodized aluminium samples with about a 20-μm-thick oxide layer were investigated for cleaning study by means of laser pulses. The removal caused by overheated melting and mechanical stress was studi...

Aerothermodynamic and Thermal Phenomena in a High Pulse-Repetition Rate XeCl Laser
Previous studies (Borisov et al. 1987; Sentis et al. 1989; Canarelli 1989) have shown that for high pulse repetition rate XeCl lasers (≥ 300 Hz for an energy deposition of ~ 50 J/l.b), the laser average power ...
