Alkaline etching is a common pretreatment for aluminum surfaces. Etching behavior was compared between an alloy based on post-consumer scrap (PCS) and several model alloys of rolled AA3005 and extruded AA6060 with systematically varied amounts of Mn, Cu and Ni. Analysis of concentrations of alloy...

The electrical treeing resistance of epoxy-SiO2 nanocomposites prepared by synthesizing functionalized SiO2 nanoparticles directly in epoxy was investigated and compared to pure epoxy (diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A). Partial discharge measurements indicate a transition of initially non-conducting...

The growing complexity and interdisciplinary nature of Materials Science research demand efficient data management and exchange through structured knowledge representation. Domain-Level Ontologies (DLOs) for Materials Science have emerged as a valuable tool for describing materials properties...

We present a novel approach to environmental risk assessment of produced water discharges based on explicit impact and probability, using a combination of transport, fate and toxicokinetic-toxicodynamic models within a super-individual framework, with a probabilistic element obtained from ensemble...

High-voltage and high-frequency alternating current (HV-HF-AC) excitation of piezoelectric properties of Quartz is a potential method to induce cracks in granite. This was recently shown in a numerical feasibility study [6], where cracking was induced on cylindrical rock samples made of granite by...

Diagnosing, treatment, and follow-up care of patients is happening increasingly through telemedicine, especially in remote areas where direct interaction is hindered. Over the past three years, following the COVID-19 pandemic, the utility of remote patient care has been further field-tested...

This review presents state-of-the-art for representative sampling of hydrogen from hydrogen refueling stations. Documented sampling strategies are presented as well as examples of commercially available equipment for sampling at the hydrogen refueling nozzle. Filter media used for sampling is listed...

To realize the promising potential of radial junction nanowire (NW) array-based solar cells, it is crucial to get physical insight into how the overall photoconversion efficiency (PCE) is impacted by the hole mask properties, NW growth, and post-growth device processing. In this work, we have...
