Poly(ionic liquid) block copolymers (PILBCPs) have been investigated as promising materials in lithium-ion batteries due to their unique combination of properties, including high solid-state ionic conductivity, high ...

Isoelectric trapping (IET) in multicompartment electrolyzers (MCE) has been widely used for the electrophoretic separation of ampholytic compounds such as proteins. In IET, the separation occurs in the buffering membranes ...

Health monitoring is an important field as small failures can build up and cause a catastrophic failure. Monitoring the health of a structure can be done by measuring the motion of the structure through the use of strain ...

Polychaete annelids dominated the macrobenthos in sediments located 5 to 9 km from the Deep Water Horizon (DWH) Oil Spill site five months after the event. Numbers of species, abundance, and biodiversity indices in the ...

The PECVD intrinsic, n^(+), and p^(+) a-Si:H thin film deposition processes have been studied by the optical emission spectroscope to monitor the plasma phase chemistry. Process parameters, such as the plasma power, ...

White shrimp Penaeus setiferus, were grown in monoculture or in polyculture with blue shrimp P. stylirostris, or striped mullet Mugil cephalus in 0.1-ha earthen ponds receiving heated effluent from the Houston Lighting & ...

In this study, we assessed the bioaccumulation of oil-derived and man-made pollutants in deep-sea epibenthic megafauna from the northern Gulf of Mexico. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (or PAHs) were measured as representatives ...

Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia with a 1 in 4 lifetime risk. AF impairs cardiac function and increases the risk of thrombi, heart attack, and stroke. Although common and harmful, little is ...
