Corrosion and Thermal Protection of Metals with Thin Films
(2021-11-10)
The deterioration of metallic components in caustic environments is a problem that has safety and monetary repercussions. The effects of corrosion and thermal degradation on steel are issues that have plagued manufacturers ...
An Integrative Analysis of Cotton-Fungal-Aphid Interactions
(2021-11-08)
Two genotypes of cotton DeltaPine 0912 and Phytogen 367, three species of fungi Beauveria bassiana, Phialemonium inflatum, Chaetomium globosum, and the cotton aphid Aphis gossypii were used in this study to test whether ...
Crash Compatibility of Automated Vehicles with Passenger Vehicles
(2021-11-23)
Automated Vehicles have been one of the most sought-after concepts to make transportation more effective and safer. One such class of vehicles is the no-occupant vehicles with automated driving systems (ADS), which are ...
Scale-Up of Photocatalysis-Assisted Water Disinfection: Opportunities and Barriers
(2021-10-20)
Dwindling supplies of readily available freshwater, coupled with the continuous growth of the human population, necessitates the purification and reuse of wastewater. This requires next-generation treatment processes, such ...
Spatially Coherent Spectral Localization and Quantitative Probabilistic Petroleum System Analysis
(2021-11-23)
The Fourier transform generates a time-averaged amplitude spectrum of time series; seismic
data however is non-stationary, i.e., the frequency content of seismic data changes with time and depth. Spectral decomposition is ...
Bioactive, Self-fitting Scaffolds Prepared from Siloxane-based Shape Memory Polymers
(2021-12-08)
Thermoresponsive shape memory polymer (SMP) scaffolds afford conformal “self-fitting” into irregularly shaped craniomaxillofacial (CMF) bone defects. Grunlan and co-workers previously reported SMP scaffolds based on ...
Nonionic Surfactant Performance in High-Temperature Eagle Ford Reservoir
(2021-12-08)
The focus of this study was the use of nonionic surfactants and novel nonionic-ionic surfactant blends for enhanced oil recovery in high-temperature liquid-rich unconventional reservoirs. Through cloud point, wettability, ...
Enhancing the Volumetric Effect of Point-Focusing Concentrating Solar Receivers via Partially Reflective Surfaces
(2021-12-10)
One of the remaining challenges of point focusing concentrating solar power systems is the realization of a true volumetric receiver, one whose entire volume is utilized for the absorption of irradiance. Current state-of-the-art ...
Characterization of Intermolecular Interactions Using Hyperpolarized NMR
(2021-12-07)
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a widespread analytical technique used to characterize intermolecular interactions. However, due to the inherent insensitivity of NMR, long experimental times and large ...
Developmental Outcomes of Prenatal E-cig Aerosol Vaping
(2021-12-13)
Electronic cigarettes (e-cigs) are tobacco products that have become popular among youth and young adults due to targeted advertising and misconceptions about their safety. The unfounded perception that e-cigs are less ...
