One of the many contributions of Harold Winters to surface science was his pioneering ultrahigh vacuum study on the kinetics of the technologically important dissociation of CH4 on transition metals in the 1970s. He observed a dramatic activation of the di ...
The purpose of this paper is to explore the appli- cability of linear time-invariant (LTI) dynamical systems with polytopic uncertainty for modeling and control of islanded DC microgrids under plug-and-play (PnP) functionality of distributed generations (D ...
In order to investigate the micro-process and inner mechanism of rock failure under impact loading, the laboratory tests were carried out on an improved split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) system with synchronized measurement devices including a high-speed ...
After their formation, mountainous landscapes gradually evolve toward smoother geometries controlled by the interplay of erosion and sedimentation. The statistical mechanical properties of this process and the link between topography and geology have remai ...
As part of a larger study of the reactivity and mobility of uranyl (U(VI) O-2(2+)) cations in subsurface environments containing natural organic matter (NOM) and hydrous ferric oxides, we have examined the effect of reference humic and fulvic substances on ...
We map the lensing-inferred substructure in the first three clusters observed by the Hubble Space Telescope Frontier Fields (HSTFF) Initiative: Abell 2744 (z = 0.308), MACSJ 0416, (z = 0.396) and MACSJ 1149 (z = 0.543). Statistically resolving dark matter ...
We investigate both theoretically and experimentally a laser-based controlled tuning of the nonlinear behaviors of a single mechanical resonator. Thanks to localized three-dimensional modifications induced by femtosecond-laser irradiation, a Duffing-like o ...
How can individual acts amount to coherent systems of interaction? In this paper, we attempt to answer this key question by suggesting that there is a place for cities in the way we coordinate seemingly chaotic decisions. We look into the elementary proces ...
A century-old tenet in physics and engineering asserts that any type of system, having bandwidth Delta omega, can interact with a wave over only a constrained time period Delta t inversely proportional to the bandwidth (Delta t-Delta w similar to 2 pi). Th ...
A series of tris-heteroleptic iridium complexes of the form [Ir(CN-1)(CN-2)(acac)] combining 2-phenyl pyridine (ppy), 2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)pyridine (dFppy), 1-phenylpyrazole (ppz), and 1-(2,4-difluorophenyl)pyrazole (dFppz) as the CAN ligands have b ...
