Na-ion batteries are emerging as one of the most promising energy storage technologies, particularly for grid-level applications. Among anode candidate materials, hard carbon is very attractive due to its high capacity and low cost.

Low-Surface-Area Hard Carbon Anode for Na-Ion
Na-ion batteries are emerging as one of the most promising energy storage technologies, particularly for grid-level applications. Among anode candidate materials, hard carbon is very attractive due to its high capacity and low cost. However, hard carbon anodes often suffer a low first-cycle Coulombic efficiency and fast capacity fading. In...

Carter Lake, a freshwater, coastal dune-margin lake,
was sampled at the beginning and end of the summer of 1986
to determine the sediment characteristics and benthic
macroinvertebrate abundance, biomass, variety, and
diversity. The distributions of major benthic habitats were
estimated by snorkeling in June and July, 1986. Water
temperature and...
This report presents a characterization of the quantum mechanical
analog of the Gibbs canonical density. The approach is
based on a method developed by D.S. Carter for the case of classical
statistical mechanics, which considers composite mechanical systems
composed of mechanically and statistically independent components.
After a brief introductory chapter,...
The main result of this dissertation provides rather
general conditions under which extensions of zero order
propositional calculi inherit the property of having a
finite characteristic model. This result is applied to
show that if a calculus T is a normal extension of the
Heyting calculus H, and if T...
The author studies the class of rectangular arrangements in
terms of two binary relations on the objects of the arrangement.
He shows how a univalent matrix determines a unique rectangular
arrangement, and how each rectangular arrangement is associated
with one, two, or four distinct matrices, according to the number
of...
The problem of predicting variate values for all individual units
in a finite population based on a sample of some of the units is Investigated.
Two prediction problems are considered: the one-stage prediction
problem where the unit variate values are directly observable for
each sample unit, and the two-stage prediction...
This thesis is an integrated study that links several disciplines-archaeology, anthropology, geography, atmospheric sciences, and microbiology. It attempts to generate an argument that central to climate change is disequilibrium in human ecologies- in my case, disease ecologies in Iceland during the 15th century. This thesis investigates the environment's effect on...
