...floating on the ocean surface and in the intertidal zone. Polyethylene (PE) and polystyrene (PS) of two different sizes (10 and 100 µm) were weathered in rotating seawater for 80 days under two different conditions: (1) photodegradation equivalent to ≤616 average days in Trondheim and (2) mechanical degradation...
...thermodynamic and mechanical properties of two common calcium silicate phases, xonotlite (Ca6Si6O17(OH)2) and wollastonite (CaSiO3), in high temperature geothermal well cement using first-principles methods. Various properties, including thermal expansion coefficients, elastic constants, free energy, and entropy...
In this work we present a unique set of coincident and collocated high-resolution observations of surface currents and directional properties of surface waves collected from an airborne instrument, the Modular Aerial Sensing System, collected off the coast of Southern California. High-resolution observations...
Modern software-based services increasingly rely on a highly heterogeneous and dynamic interconnection of platforms and devices offering a wide diversity of capabilities ranging from cloud server with virtually unlimited resources down to microcontrollers with only a few KB of RAM. This paper motivates...
...material can become susceptible as a result of an undesirable combination of alloying and processing conditions. IGC of Extruded AA6005 alloy with varying tempers was investigated and compared by use of accelerated and outdoor exposure tests. Corrosion of alloy AA6005 depended on the cooling rate right...
...since things can be very different in terms of available resources, size and communication protocols. Current Internet-enabled devices are typically powerful enough to rely on common operating systems, standard network protocols and middlewares. In IoT many devices will be too constrained to rely on such...
...remain homogeneous over time. Instability in the form of sedimentation and bleeding occurs for various reasons related to the material composition. In this study, the responsible mechanisms to quantify the stability are reviewed and a conceptual model is proposed describing the sedimentation progress as...
