Complexities of the San Andreas fault near San Gorgonio Pass : implications for large earthquakes by Yule, Doug, Sieh, Kerry

“…Geologic relationships and patterns of crustal seismicity constrain the three-dimensional geometry of the active portions of San Andreas fault zone near San Gorgonio Pass, southern California. Within a 20-km-wide contractional stepover between two segments of the fault zone, the San Bernardino and Coachella Valley segments, folds, and dextral-reverse and dextral-normal faults form an east-west belt of active structures. …”

Charge-depletion-enhanced WSe2 quantum emitters on gold nanogap arrays with near-unity quantum efficiency by Cai, Hongbing, Rasmita, Abdullah, He, Ruihua, Zhang, Zhaowei, Tan, Qinghai, Chen, Disheng, Wang, Naizhou, Mu, Zhao, Eng, John J. H., She, Yongzhi, Pan, Nan, Wang, Qian, Dong, Zhaogang, Wang, Xiaoping, Wang, Juan, Miao, Yansong, Singh, Ranjan, Qiu, Cheng-Wei, Liu, Xiaogang, Gao, Weibo

“…In this condition, for site-controlled SPEs in WSe2 coupled to gold nanogaps, the SPE transition quantum efficiency after gating is increased to 76.4 ± 14.6% on average, with some SPEs reaching near-unity (more than 90%) quantum efficiency. This study provides a new approach for tuning SPEs with an applied gate voltage and motivates further theoretical and experimental studies of SPE enhancement on vertically aligned nanogaps.…”

When mobile phone use becomes problematic : the influence of self, parents and peers on adolescents' mobile phone behavior in Singapore and Malaysia by Chuah, Soo Fei

“…The second and third parts of this dissertation investigate the effects of adolescents’ personalities (such as self-esteem, extraversion, neuroticism, and self-control), parental influence (such as parental mobile phone use, parenting styles, and parental mediation), and peer influence (such as peer mediation, peer norms, and peer capital) on both mobile phone use and problematic mobile phone use among adolescents in Singapore and Malaysia. …”

Plasmon excitation on flat graphene by s-polarized beams using four-wave mixing by Tao, Jin, Dong, Zhaogang, Yang, Joel K. W., Wang, Qi Jie

“…However, exciting plasmons on graphene effectively still remains a challenge owing to the large wave-vector mismatch between the optical beam in air and graphene plasmon. In this paper, we present a novel scheme capable of exciting graphene surface plasmons (GSPs) on a flat suspended graphene by using only s-polarized optical beams through four-wave mixing (FWM) process, where the GSPs fields were derived analytically based on the Green's function analysis, under the basis of momentum conservation. …”

Modulation schemes for the audio beam system : fixed-point analysis, simulation and implementation by Seth, Abhishek

“…Directional sound can be created by modulating an audible signal onto an ultrasonic carrier and projecting the modulated signal via special types of ultrasonic transducer to generate the parametric array through air, in such a way that audible sound can travel in a column of sound beams. The device that generates this phenomenon is generally referred to as the parametric loudspeaker. …”
