But the acoustic fingerprints of twilight zone animals are still mysterious because shipboard sonar don't have the bandwidth to distinguish the many organisms living far below the surface in what's called the deep
scattering layer. It's an area so dense with life that people once thought it was the sea floor.
These rods are elongated along the [q.sub.z] axis and originated from a
scattering layer present at the sample surface.
Their travel pattern coincides with a phenomenon in the ocean known as the deep
scattering layer.
In this method, a light
scattering layer is added to the initial layer containing titanium dioxide nanoparticles.
So, it is easy to see that information is being gathered from relatively thin surface
scattering layer which is not deeper than 0.5-1 mm, while the major part of information propagates from the top 2-3 transport depths (0.1 mm).
"We wanted to determine the geometry for the
scattering layer that would give us optimal performance," Sun said.
London, January 27 ( ANI ): A geometrically-patterned light
scattering layer designed by McCormick researchers could make solar cells more efficient and less expensive.
Caruso, "Dual-function
scattering layer of submicrometer-sized mesoporous TiO2 beads for high-efficiency dye-sensitized solar cells," Adv.
Yet many whales, dolphins, seals, sea turtles, sharks, manta rays, billfish, and smaller predatory fish are nocturnal hunters, dependent on the mysterious movements of a vast community of organisms known as the deep
scattering layer, or DSL.
This amended model can be used only if the
scattering layer is the uppermost pigmented layer in the multilayer composite coating.
The 'tails' of the curve 2 show fine-period oscillations, indicating the existence of the coherently
scattering layer with the thickness [L.sub.nop] = ([lambda][gamma]h) [DELTA][theta]sin2[[theta].sub.B] ~ 0.5 [micro]m ([[theta].sub.B] = 31.7[degrees] for the 004 InP reflection), yh is the directing cosine.
