We explore selected aspects of J.-Y. Parlange’s contributions to hydrological transport of solutes and sediments, including both the laboratory and field scales. At the laboratory scale, he provided numerous approximations for solute transport accounting for effects of boundary conditions, linear and nonlinear reactions, and means to determine relevant parameters. Theory...
A significant challenge for energy storage technologies is to realize battery-level energy density and capacitor-level durability and
power density in one device. By introducing an electrolyte composed of an anionic catholyte and a cationic anolyte into a symmetric
carbon-based supercapacitor configuration, a hybrid electrochemical battery-supercapacitor system using soluble redox species...
This paper introduces a simple yet effective shape analysis mechanism for geometry processing. Unlike traditional shape
analysis techniques which compute descriptors per surface point up to certain neighborhoods, we introduce a shape analysis
framework in which the descriptors are based on pairs of surface points. Such a pairwise analysis approach...
Physical activity is important for health. However, there is a lack of literature related to the physical activity levels of adults living in urban villagers, which is a vulnerable population in China. The aim of this study is to compare the physical activity and sedentary behavior engagements between urban villagers...
The authors present a facile, low-cost methodology to fabricate high-performance In-Ga-Zn-O (IGZO) bottom contact, bottom gate thin-film transistors (TFTs) by soft lithography. The IGZO channel and indium tin oxide (ITO) source and drain were patterned using microcontact printing of an octadecylphosphonic acid self-assembled monolayer (SAM). A polymer stamp was used...
Knowledge of the shear stress on a fault during slip is necessary
for a physically-based understanding of earthquakes. Borehole
temperature measurements inside the fault zone immediately after
an earthquake can record the energy dissipated by this stress. In the
first Wenchuan Earthquake Fault Zone Scientific Drilling Project
hole (Sichuan province,...
The potential to use camelina (Camelina sativa L.) as a bioenergy crop has increased the need to develop management practices that would improve sustainable production. This study evaluated the effects by cultivars (Blaine Creek, Pronghorn, and Shoshone) and three spring seeding dates on the performance of camelina grown under rain-fed...
A series of combined measurements was made at the Naval Air Station North Island (NASNI) Installation Restoration Site 5, Unit 2 during July and August 2013. Combined measurements included CO₂ respiration rate, CO₂ radiocarbon content to estimate chlorinated hydrocarbon (CH) mineralization and a zone of influence (ZOI) model. CO₂ was...
Rainfall runoff erosivity (R) is one key climate factor that controls water erosion. Quantifying the effects of climate change–induced erosivity change is important for identifying critical regions prone to soil erosion under a changing environment. In this study we first evaluate the changes of R from 1970 to 2090 across...
Molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) field effect transistors (FET) were fabricated on atomically smooth large-area single layers grown by chemical vapor deposition. The layer qualities and physical properties were characterized using high-resolution Raman and photoluminescence spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy. Electronic performance of the FET devices was measured using...
