In problems involving water quality and pollution in natural streams under low flow conditions, during which pollution problems are most acute, a complete understanding of the effects of variations of flow and channel ...

The low frequency dynamics of the charge-density waves in NbSe$\sb3$ and TaS$\sb3$ were investigated using low frequency conductance fluctuations. Simultaneous measurements of the fluctuations in the voltage and the ...

We have measured the low frequency Raman spectra and the Rayleigh-Brillouin spectra of an amorphous solid,silicon dioxide, and a crystalline electrolyte, rubidium silver iodide. In fused silica the Raman spectra from 2K ...

Urbanization and land use changes have increased impervious surfaces and resulted in more frequent flooding and higher contaminant loads in hydrologic systems. According to the National Resources Defense Council, stormwater ...

The availability of large datasets and on-demand system capacity to analyze these datasets has led to exciting new applications in the context of big graph data. Many big graph data applications --- social search and ...

Cancer remains a pervasive problem in public health with surgery serving as the primary care option. Fluorescence image-guided surgery has been explored to aid surgeons identify specific tissue in the patient during ...

A pulse-forming electrical circuit is developed to reduce energy losses in the storage capacitor, and greater than 85% of the initial stored energy is transferred to the arc in a unipolar pulse. A high current diode installed ...

Biohybrid robotics are a new class of mechanical systems which use biological cells as machine components in microscale to mesoscale actuators and motile structures. Eukaryotic cells come pre-programmed to accomplish a ...

N-type germanium (4.X 1014 Sb/cm3) has been irradiated with 1.1 MeV electrons at SOK. The defects produced have been studied by measuring the voltage-dependent capacitance of a metal-germanium junction formed at the ...
