Lightning and Its Relationship with the Large-Scale Environment
(2022-03-28)
Lightning can have many societal and environmental impacts, and the ability of a global climate model (GCM) to correctly parameterize lightning has become of utmost importance as lightning has recently been named an essential ...
Development of Tools for Mechanical Characterization and Mechanical Stimulation of Tissue Engineered Constructs
(2022-01-24)
Tissue engineering is a rapidly expanding field, with billions of dollars being invested each year. Despite all the attention and the resources expended, applications of tissue engineering technologies in a therapeutic ...
Investigating Impacts of Model Horizontal Resolution on Sea Surface Temperature Biases and Ocean Heat Uptake Projections
(2022-04-18)
Impact of model horizontal resolution on sea-surface temperature (SST) biases and ocean heat uptake (OHU) projections are studied by comparing high-resolution (HR) and low-resolution (LR) Community Earth System Model (CESM) ...
Mid-Infrared Multi-Spectrum Sensing and Imaging for Non-Destructive Material Characterization
(2022-03-02)
Mid-infrared (mid-IR) spectroscopy has become a powerful technique for chemical analysis. The fingerprint absorption bands in mid-IR can be used to uniquely identify a molecular specie. Such fingerprinting capability along ...
Genetic Basis for the Development of Scurs in Bos Indicus-Influenced Crossbred Cattle
