Global whole lithosphere isostasy : implications for surface elevations, structure, strength, and densities of the continental lithosphere by Lamb, Simon, Moore, James Daniel Paul, Perez-Gussinye, Marta, Stern, Tim

“…We use a global model of WLI as a framework to assess factors controlling topography, showing that plausible regional variations in crustal and mantle densities, together with uncertainties in the crustal and conductive lithospheric thicknesses, are sufficient to account for global elevations without invoking dynamic topography greater than a few hundred meters. …”

A numerical modeling approach for better differentiation of boulders transported by a tsunami, storm, and storm-induced energetic infragravity waves by Watanabe, Masashi, Goto, Kazuhisa, Roeber, Volker, Kan, Hironobu, Imamura, Fumihiko

“…When the dimensionless transport distance of a boulder (=transport distance of a boulder/offshore wave height) is less than 4.0 × 10 over planar topography and 3.0 × 10 over reef topography, both waves can potentially be responsible for the transport distance. …”

Percy Manning’s archaeological survey of Oxfordshire by Roberts, A

“…Thurlow Leeds, Esq., M.A., F.S.A.’.1 The article consisted of a concise topographically organized index of archaeological finds from the county together with a short introduction that stated (p. 227) that the work ‘is almost entirely based on the material in the Manning Collections and stands therefore as a monument to one whose knowledge of Oxfordshire’s past has had few rivals’. …”

Crosslinker energy landscape effects on dynamic mechanical properties of ideal polymer hydrogels by Khare, Eesha, de Alcântara, Amadeus C. S., Lee, Nic, Skaf, Munir S., Buehler, Markus J.

“…We report that, for an ideal network, the energy potential of the crosslinker interaction drives the viscosity of the network, where a stronger potential results in a higher viscosity. Additional topographical analyses reveal a mechanistic understanding of the structural rearrangement of the network as it deforms and indicate that as the number of defects increases in the network, the viscosity of the network increases. …”

Sol gel dielectrics for organic field effect transistors : investigations of device performance enhancement, molecular organization and interfacial chemistry effects by Cahyadi, Tommy

“…The smoother film surfaces of sol-gel silica (~1.9 Å root-mean-square) and low surface energy (water contact angle of ~75°) have been shown to allow effective modification of bottom layer topography without being limited by the chemistry required for self-assembled monolayer (SAM) functionalization, while simultaneously fine-tuning the dielectric surface, thus resulting in planarization of dielectric surface roughness in stacked gate dielectric applications.…”
