Plant wax and carbon isotope response to heat and drought in the conifer Juniperus monosperma
Plant waxes, including n-alkanes, are commonly used for a wide range of paleo-applications. Several common traits of n-alkanes that are used as paleo-proxies include chain length distribution and average chain length (ACL), as well as plant wax carbon and ...
2021Self-tracking Solar Concentration
Solar concentration is intended to decrease the cost of expensive solar cell material by replacing the solar cell with a focusing optical system as the initial receiving aperture. This reduces the amount of solar cell material needed but adds the need of t ...
EPFL2015Tuneable PTC effect in polymer-wax-carbon composite resistors
Peter Ryser, Thomas Maeder, Caroline Jacq, Ludivine Ammon
Purpose: The resistivity dependence on temperature of composite resistors made of carbon fillers dispersed in an organic matrix are known to be strongly affected by the matrix thermal expansion. High positive temperature coefficient (PTC) effects, i.e. ess ...
