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%. …”

Power quality enhancement of isolated power systems through series compensation by Wang, Tongxun

“…It leads to an increase in the ride-through capability of loads to the voltage sags/swells. When a downstream fault occurs, the SC achieves the current limiting function by injecting a voltage component to restore the PCC voltage to its pre-fault phasor value.…”

Experimental and theoretical study of nanotwinned copper fabricated by pulse-reverse electrodeposition for interconnect and through-silicon via (TSV) technologies by Lin, Nay

“…The role of stress on (111) textured copper crystals is evaluated by first-principle calculations within the framework Generalized Stacking Fault Energy (GSFE) and twinnability. Theoretical calculations show that the biaxial stress has strong effects on the stacking fault energies, unstable and stable stacking and twinning fault energies. …”
