High electron mobility thin films of In₂₋ₓWₓO₃₊y(0≤x≤0.075) were prepared on amorphous SiO₂ and single-crystal yttria-stablized zirconia (001) substrates by pulsed laser deposition. Mobilities ranged between 66 and 112 cm² /Vs depending on the substrate type and deposition conditions, and the highest mobility was observed at a W-dopant concentration of x~0.03....
This study investigates the response of the global mean and spatial variations of the δ¹⁸O value of atmospheric CO₂ (δCₐ) to changes in soil CO₂ hydration rates, relative humidity, the δ¹⁸O value of precipitation and water vapor, visible radiation, temperature, and ecosystem flux partitioning. A three-dimensional global transport model was...
Biological, optical, and hydrographical data were collected on the WEC88 cruise along 150°W and during a 6-day time series station on the equator during February/March 1988. This area was characterized by a subsurface chlorophyll maximum (SCM), located at 50–70 m depth at the equator and descending down to 120–125 m...
We examine the relation between δ¹⁸O in rainwater collected in southwestern Oregon
and climate variables including temperature, parcel trajectory, precipitation amount, and
specific humidity. Local surface air temperature at the time of sample collection explains a
large proportion of δ¹⁸O variability, suggesting that paleoclimatic archives that are related
to rainfall...
Metal–insulator–metal diodes with Nb₂O₅ and Ta₂O₅ insulators deposited via atomic layer deposition are investigated. For both Nb₂O₅ and Ta₂O₅, the dominant conduction process is established as Schottky emission at small biases and Frenkel–Poole emission at large biases. Fowler–Nordheim tunneling is not found to play a role in determining current versus...
Computer system I/O has evolved with processor and memory technologies in terms of reducing latency, increasing bandwidth and other factors. As requirements increase for I/O, such as networking, storage, and video, descriptor-based DMA transactions have become more important in high performance systems to move data between I/O adapters and system...
In November-December 1984 we carried out an intensive 12-day upper ocean sampling program on
the equator at 140°W as part of the Tropic Heat Experiment. From our observations we constructed
hourly averaged profiles of temperature, salinity, σ₁, turbulent kinetic energy dissipation rate, and horizontal
velocity. These data were used to...
Experiments were performed to determine the rate of recolonization of sediment-associated microalga and effects of infauna on microalgal biomass and production. Estuarine sediment was defaunated and transplanted to the field and the laboratory. Recolonization of sediment by flora and fauna, relative to control sediment, was measured by chlorophyll a, gross...
The propagation of downwelling irradiance at wavelength l from surface to a depth (z) in the ocean is governed by the diffuse attenuation coefficient, K𝒹(λ). There are two standard methods for the derivation of K𝒹(λ) in remote sensing, which both are based on empirical relationships involving the blue-to-green ratio of...
This manuscript describes the role of non-classical hydrogen bonds (NCHBs), specifically C–H···O interactions, in modern synthetic organic transformations. Our goal is to point out the seminal examples where C–H···O interactions have been invoked as a key stereocontrolling element and to provide predictive value in recognizing future and/or potential C–H···O interactions...
