Article demonstrating a practical strategy for synchronizing the properties of compound Josephson junction (CJJ) radio frequency monitored superconducting quantum interference device (rf-SQUID) qubits on a multi-qubit chip.

Article demonstrates electrostatic switching in vertically oriented carbon nanofibers synthesized on refractory metallic nitride substrates, where pull-in voltages Vpi ranged from 10 to 40 V. A finite element model was also developed to determine a theoretical Vpi and results were compared to experiment.

Article reporting on a study of a series of 85 devices of vary design using a general method for directly measuring the low-frequency flux noise (below 10 Hz) in compound Josephson-junction superconducting flux qubits. The results support the hypothesis that local impurities in the vicinity of the qubit wiring are a key source of low-frequency flux noise in superconducting devices.

Patent relating to an instrument, system and method for automated low cost atmospheric measurements.

Article discussing the diametric tree growth in functional groups species in a seasonal forest of the Venezuelan western plains.

Article on the characterization of noise in a flux qubit using macroscopic resonant tunneling between the two lowest lying states of a bistable rf SQUID. Analysis of these results indicates that the dominant source of low energy flux noise in this device is a quantum mechanical environment in thermal equilibrium.

Article discussing a methodological proposal for the quality control of precipitation data.

Article discussing models of human-nature interactions and a biocomplexity approach.

This paper discusses indoor propagation modeling.

Article discussing the simulation of the dynamics of a tropical forest in the Western Llanos of Venezuela.

Article discussing allometric relations and growth patterns for tree species in the Imataca Forest Reserve, Venezuela.

Presentation for the 2005 University Scholars Day at the University of North Texas discussing research on electrical stimulation of nerve cell networks growing on microelectrode arrays and stimulation efficiency and entrainment.

This article reports on a fabrication process that uses silicon-oninsulator (SOI) substrates and micromachining techniques to form wide-IF superconductor–insulator–superconductor (SIS) mixer devices that have suspended metal beam leads for rf grounding. Aside from a description of the fabrication process, electrical measurements of these Nb/Al–AlNₓ /Nb trilayer devices will also be presented.

Article discussing the understory of an Andean cloud forest in the Sierra Nevada National Park, Venezuela.

Article on canopy gaps and understory light spectrum in a Venezuelan Andean cloud forest.

This article reports on the growth, fabrication, and device characterization of NbN internally shunted Josephson junctions with a TaNx barrier.

Thesis submitted to the National Experimental University of Guayana as partial requirement for the degree of Master of Science in Environmental Science. This thesis discusses simulation models at different scales of tropical forest dynamics.
