Analysis of Residential Building Energy Code Compliance for New and Existing Buildings based on Building Energy Simulation
(2020-11-11)Currently, the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) is the most widely-used residential building energy code in the United States. Either the IECC or IECC with amendments has been adopted by 33 states. The latest ... -
Multifunctional Energy and Power Materials for Batteries and Supercapacitors
(2020-06-23)Multifunctional energy and power systems can simultaneously store energy and accomplish a second function. Typically, the other function is structural or safety related. Both of these rely on robust mechanical properties ... -
The Political Economy of Electoral Authoritarianism: Fiscal and Financial Conditions for Elections in Dictatorships
(2020-08-06)When do dictators introduce multiparty elections? Elections can stabilize dictatorships, but not all dictatorships hold elections. Prior research has focused on explaining how elections stabilize authoritarian regimes, ... -
Description and Identification of the Echolocation Calls of Leptonycteris nivalis and Other Nectar Feeding Bats in Mexico
(2020-08-03)The conservation of nectar-feeding bats is critical for preserving arid, semi-arid and desert ecosystems, in addition to the genetic diversity of some ecologically and economically important plant species. In the northern ... -
MULTIPARTITE ENTANGLEMENT ENGINEERING FOR QUANTUM INFORMATION AND METROLOGY

Bioinspired Mechanical Device Generates Plasma in Water via Cavitation
(2020-07-23)Laboratory and industrial plasmas in liquid are conventionally generated by electric fields. In nature, one verified plasma generation method is the hydrodynamic flow induced cavitation by snapping shrimp. Collapsing ... -
Rapid Compositional Simulation Using Model Order Reduction and Machine Learning Technique
(2020-07-27)Fast and reliable reservoir simulation is a key for the successful decision making in integrated reservoir studies. Large and complex multiphase reservoir models usually require expensive computational infrastructure. ... -
Trophic Structure and Food Web Dynamics of Deep-Pelagic Micronekton in the Gulf of Mexico
(2020-07-22)The deep-pelagic ocean is the largest but least studied ecosystem on Earth. As natural resource extraction and fisheries expand into the deep pelagic, there is increased need for comprehensive, ecosystem-based management ... -
Improved Distance Based Upgridding for High Resolution Geologic Models
(2020-07-30)Strong heterogeneities in properties characterize subsurface reservoirs and the encapsulation of these properties play an important role in optimizing the trade-off between preservation of geologic heterogeneity and reservoir ... -
Low Temperature Scanning Tunneling Microscope and Its Application to Material Characterization
(2020-07-16)A low temperature and high vacuum compatible fiber optic interferometer was designed and constructed to debug a malfunctioning low temperature scanning tunneling microscope (LT-STM). With its help, the temperature dependent ... -
Arthropod Predation of Cordaitean Pollen Cones in Pennsylvanian Coal Balls
(2020-08-05)Pennsylvanian coal balls are concretions of permineralized peat that contain a rich fossil record of plant-animal interactions. Cordaitean leaf-mat coal balls from the Cliffland and Blackoak coal beds (Kalo Formation, Iowa) ... -
Assessing the Impacts of Land Use Change and Climate Change on Amphibians to Improve Conservation Strategies for Biodiversity and Livelihoods in the Sierra Nevada De Santa Marta, Colombia
(2020-07-31)Land use and climate change are major anthropogenic threats to biodiversity. In the tropics, over 70% of land is in some form of agricultural matrix. Amphibians are the most threatened vertebrate class. Colombia, a megadiverse ... -
