This work explores the electric field induced strain mechanisms in environmentally benign Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3 (BNT) based piezoelectric thin films. Although BNT-based materials show promise as replacements for toxic Pb-based piezoelectrics, the displacement mechanisms are not consistent between thin films and bulk materials, and the differences have yet to be well understood....
Optimized processing conditions for
Pt/TiO₂/SiO₂/Si templating electrodes were investigated. These
electrodes are used to obtain [111] textured thin film lead
zirconate titanate (Pb[ZrₓTi₁₋ₓ]O₃ 0≤x≤1) (PZT). Titanium
deposited by dc magnetron sputtering yields [0001] texture on a
thermally oxidized Si wafer. It was found that by optimizing
deposition time, pressure, power,...

Biological agents and their products commonly cause foodborne illnesses. In the United States it is estimated that there are over 76 million cases of foodborne illnesses each year, resulting in an economic loss of approximately $40 billion. These high figures demonstrate the need for bioassays that display a rapid and...
Factors influencing soil organic matter (SOM) stabilization and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) content in complex terrain, where vegetation, climate, and topography vary over the scale of a few meters, are not well understood. We examined the spatial correlations of lidar and geographic information system-derived landscape topography, empirically measured soil characteristics,...
A method is introduced and applied to analyse changed in productivity of firms harvesting in a multi-species fishery. The index-number technique decomposes firm profits into its contributions and can be used to assess economic performance by both regulators and individual firms across an industry and over time. Using an unbalanced...
A fluorescent dye tracer was injected into the
pycnocline on the Oregon shelf at a depth of 9–10 m. It
spread rapidly cross-shelf as two distinct layers, one above
the other in the water column, split by interleaving dye-free
water. The vertical scale of these layers, and associated
density steps,...
