Nanostars have many potential applications, particularly in biomedicine, such as drug delivery, detection assays, and even cancer treatment. Seeing how their plasmon changes in response to changes to the environment of the nanostars can give us an insight to the stability of the nanostars. Our current studies involve the effect...
Wave energy holds great promise to be part of the alternative energy portfolio that will provide independence from fossil fuels. As wave energy converter (WEC) technologies mature, designing effective control strategies to extract maximum energy, extend device life, coordinate WEC operation within an array, or mitigate negative impacts of a...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the current status of the
implementation of Benin's new elementary science curriculum. The study
used the Concerns-Based Adoption Model (CBAM), a model designed to
evaluate the implementation of educational innovations. Specifically the
study attempted to ascertain teachers' concerns about the science curriculum,...
This dataset contains results from direct numerical simulations of premixed, three-dimensional, turbulent hydrogen/air flames, using the multicomponent and mixture-averaged diffusion models. In particular, this dataset contains information about the enstrophy budget and flame structure. We performed the simulations using the finite-difference code NGA; simulation details are described completely in the...
