With the development of miniaturized sensor and communication technologies, there is an ever-growing demand for algorithms to derive high-level spatiotemporal events from large amounts of sensed data....
View ArticleSilicon-on-sapphire nanowire for mid-IR supercontinuum generation
We demonstrate an octave spanning, 1.9-6.2 µm supercontinuum generation in a low loss silicon on a sapphire (SOS) nanowire. This establishes SOS as a promising new platform for integrated nonlinear...
View ArticleIntegrated source of multiplexed heralded photons
We report an integrated, CMOS-compatible source of multiplexed heralded photons, distributed over several wavelengths at standard communication channels and compatible with quantum memories. Our system...
View ArticleUnlocking metamaterial properties through multiscale design
Extraordinary electromagnetic behaviour, such as negative refractive index, can be produced in metamaterial com- posites. A number of impressive specimens have been produced to date, though they...
View ArticleEffects of roadside memorials on traffic flow
Despite their growing popularity in North America, little research has been conducted on understanding the effects of roadside memorials on drivers' behaviour. In this study, we examined the short-term...
View ArticleShould traffic enforcement be unpredictable? The case of red light cameras in...
Red light cameras are installed in many jurisdictions around the world to improve road safety by discouraging red light running behaviour at signalized intersections. In many jurisdictions, a smaller...
View ArticleDesign, synthesis and biological evaluation of 1,3-diphenyl-1H-pyrazole...
A series of forty different pyrazole containing benzimidazole hybrids (6e45) have been designed, synthesized and evaluated for their potential anti-proliferative activity against three human tumor cell...
View ArticleLogistic regression model of risk of fatality in vehicle-pedestrian crashes...
Pedestrian fatalities on national highways in Bangladesh account for about 47% of all pedestrian fatalities; therefore, it is important to identify the risk factors involved. Binary logistic models...
View ArticleJumping Hurdles: the myriad of issues and barriers for incarcerated mothers...
This paper describes the myriad of issues and barriers that mothers face on exiting prison in their attempts to regain parental responsibility of their children. Interviews with professionals and...
View ArticleA dynamic plasmonic manipulation technique assisted by phase modulation of an...
A novel phase modulation method for dynamic manipulation of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) with a phase engineered optical vortex (OV) beam illuminating on nanoslits is experimentally demonstrated....
View ArticleCosine-gauss plasmon beam: A localized long-range nondiffracting surface wave
A new surface wave is introduced, the cosine-Gauss beam, which does not diffract while it propagates in a straight line and tightly bound to the metallic surface for distances up to 80 mu m. The...

Creating authentic learning experiences that prepare students for their future work in an ever-changing workforce represents a key challenge in higher education. One key way to enable the integration...
View ArticleDirect calculation of a three-dimensional diffracted field
We present an approach to calculating the complex amplitude of a three-dimensional (3D) diffracted light field in the paraxial approximation based on a 3D Fourier transform. Starting from the...
View ArticleStrategic public land use assessment and planning in Victoria, Australia:...
While various attempts have been made to establish strategic environmental assessment (SEA) processes and institutions in various jurisdictions within Australia, the success of these often short lived...
