The move from hazardous waste management to pollution
prevention is viewed as a paradigm shift in American
industry. Pollution prevention involves source reduction to
reduce the amount of hazardous waste that is generated, and
recycling of those wastes that cannot be prevented within
the production process. The first piece of...
New thermal data from 18–24 Ma lithosphere on the
Cocos Plate delineate contrasting subsurface thermal
conditions in adjacent sections of crust. Heat flow through
seafloor created at the East Pacific Rise is generally
suppressed by ~70% relative to conductive lithospheric
cooling models, whereas heat flow through adjacent,
similarly-aged lithosphere generated...
The enhanced optical nonlinearity enabled by localized plasmonic fields has been well studied for all-optical switching processing (AOSP) devices for future optical communication systems. In this work, plasmonic photonic crystals with a nonlinear polycarbonate/polymethine blend cladding layer are designed to enhance the third harmonic generation (THG) at the telecom wavelengths...
Background:
Mapping and map-based cloning of genes that control agriculturally and economically important traits remain great challenges for plants with complex highly repetitive genomes such as those within the grass tribe, Triticeae. Mapping limitations in the Triticeae are primarily due to low frequencies of polymorphic gene markers and poor genetic...

Recent observations from spaceborne microwave sensors have revealed detailed structure of the surface
flow over the equatorial eastern Pacific in the boreal fall season. A marked acceleration of surface wind
across the northern sea surface temperature (SST) front of the cold tongue is a prominent feature of the
regional climate....
Although early adversity has been linked to worse mental and physical health in adulthood, few studies have investigated the pathways through which positive and negative dimensions of early experiences can jointly influence psychological well-being in later life. This study examined: (a) profiles of early experiences across multiple domains, (b) the...

Converting CO2 to valuable materials is attractive.Herein, we report using simple metallothermic reactions to reduce atmospheric CO2 to dense nanoporous graphene. By using a Zn/Mg mixture as a reductant, the resulted nanoporous graphene exhibits highly desirable properties: high specific surface area of 1900 m2/g, a great conductivity of 1050 S/m...
