Sound pattern recognition from multiple sources in an enclosed space by Liu, Qiyuan.

“…In repair workshops or production factories, technical personnel are often required to identify the faulty components or devices in a malfunctioning machine system. To facilitate such fault diagnosis, this research aims at developing a method for identifying those components or devices which, due to their changed sound arising from faults, cause variations in the overall sound field in an enclosed space. …”

Pollen geochronology from the Atlantic coast of the united states during the last 500 years by Christie, Margaret A., Bernhardt, Christopher E., Parnell, Andrew C., Shaw, Timothy Adam, Khan, Nicole S., Corbett, Dorbett Reide, García-Artola, Ane, Clear, Jennifer, Walker, Jennifer S., Donnelly, Jeffrey P., Hasse, Tobias R., Horton, Benjamin P.

“…However, the accuracy of pollen chronohorizons compared to other age markers and the impact of pollen chronohorizons on the precision of age-depth models, particularly in salt marsh environments, is poorly understood. Here, we combine new and published pollen data from eight coastal wetlands (salt marshes and mangroves) along the Atlantic Coast of the United States (U.S.) from Florida to Connecticut to define the age and uncertainty of 17 pollen chronohorizons. …”

Preparation of low-pressure water softening hollow fiber membranes by polyelectrolyte deposition with two bilayers by Rajabzadeh, Saeid, Liu, Chang, Shi, Lei, Wang, Rong

“…Using a low concentration of supporting electrolyte at underneath layers was proved to be an effective way to increase water permeability while maintaining high salt rejection. A salt water flux (SWP) of 12 LMH/bar and 94% Mg2 + rejection was obtained by depositing only two bilayers of PSS/PAH polyelectrolytes on the PES substrate, while for the 3000 ppm mixed salt solution, the water permeability was 11 LMH/bar with Mg2 + and Ca2 + rejection as high as 90%. …”
