Lurking in the Shadows: Wide-Separation Gas Giants As Tracers of Planet Formation
Lurking in the Shadows: Wide-Separation Gas Giants as Tracers of Planet Formation Thesis by Marta Levesque Bryan In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY Pasadena, California 2018 Defended May 1, 2018 ii © 2018 Marta Levesque Bryan ORCID: [0000-0002-6076-5967] All rights reserved iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost I would like to thank Heather Knutson, who I had the great privilege of working with as my thesis advisor. Her encouragement, guidance, and perspective helped me navigate many a challenging problem, and my conversations with her were a consistent source of positivity and learning throughout my time at Caltech. I leave graduate school a better scientist and person for having her as a role model. Heather fostered a wonderfully positive and supportive environment for her students, giving us the space to explore and grow - I could not have asked for a better advisor or research experience. I would also like to thank Konstantin Batygin for enthusiastic and illuminating discussions that always left me more excited to explore the result at hand. Thank you as well to Dimitri Mawet for providing both expertise and contagious optimism for some of my latest direct imaging endeavors. Thank you to the rest of my thesis committee, namely Geoff Blake, Evan Kirby, and Chuck Steidel for their support, helpful conversations, and insightful questions. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to collaborate with Brendan Bowler. His talk at Caltech my second year of graduate school introduced me to an unexpected population of massive wide-separation planetary-mass companions, and lead to a long-running collaboration from which several of my thesis projects were born. -
The Security Printing Practices of Banknotes
The Security Printing Practices of Banknotes A Senior Project presented to the Faculty of the Graphic Communication California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Graphic Communication; e.g. Bachelor of Science by Corbin Nakamura March, 2010 © 2010 Corbin Nakamura Table of Contents Abstract 3 I - Introduction and Purpose of Study 4 II - Literature Review 7 III - Research Methods 22 IV - Results 28 V - Conclusions 34 2 Abstract Counterfeit goods continue to undermine the value of genuine artifacts. This also applies to counterfeit banknotes, a significant counterfeit problem in today’s rapidly growing world of technology. The following research explores anti-counterfeit printing methods for banknotes from various countries and evaluates which are the most effective for eliminating counterfeit. The research methods used in this study consists primarily of elite and specialized interviewing accompanied with content analysis. Three professionals currently involved in the security- printing industry were interviewed and provided the most current information about banknote security printing. Conclusions were reached that the most effective security printing methods for banknotes rest upon the use of layering features, specifically both overt and covert features. This also includes the use of a watermark, optical variable inks, and the intaglio printing process. It was also found that despite the plethora of anti-counterfeit methods, the reality is that counterfeit will never be eliminated. Unfortunately, counterfeit banknotes will remain apart of our world. The battle against counterfeit banknotes will have to incorporate new tactics, such as improving public education, creating effective law enforcement, and relieving extreme poverty so that counterfeit does not have to take place. -

Protection Coat for Banknotes

Like the famous Thaler coins, it travels from one hand to another, transforming in the process from a clean note to a wrinkled, dirty scrap of paper. There is a new protection coat that can be used to improve the durability of banknotes and make them more impervious to soil. Some years ago, it was a common of Voith Paper.

Design of Security Paper with Selective Frequency Reflection
sensors Article Design of Security Paper with Selective Frequency Reflection Characteristics Sang-Hwa Lee 1, Min-Sik Kim 2, Jong-Kyu Kim 2 and Ic-Pyo Hong 1,* 1 Department of Information and Communication Engineering, Kongju National University, Gongju 31080, Korea; [email protected] 2 National Security Research Institute, Daejeon 34188, Korea; [email protected] (M.-S.K.); [email protected] (J.-K.K.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 31 May 2018; Accepted: 11 July 2018; Published: 13 July 2018 Abstract: In this research, a security paper based on frequency selective structure technologies was designed and fabricated using selective wave reflection characteristics to prevent the offline leakage of confidential documents. Document leakage detection systems using security papers detect security papers using transceiving antenna gates. For the application of such systems, the structure must be designed with excellent reflection performance and stability at the angle of incidence. For this purpose, a loop and patch-type frequency selective structure based on a four-legged element structure was designed to have X-band frequency reflection characteristics. This design was based on optimized variables and was realized through the screen printing method using silver ink on A4 paper. It was verified that both the design and simulation results matched well. To verify its actual applicability, a detector module operable at 10 GHz was manufactured to observe both the security paper detection range in relation to distance with a signal strength of −10 dBm and the detection area in relation to the number of times that the security paper had been folded. -
