The role of Holocene relative sea-level change in preserving records of subduction zone earthquakes
Published 2021“…The length and completeness of prehistoric earthquake records is intrinsically linked to the accommodation space provided by gradually rising (<3 mm/year) Holocene RSL. In near-field regions that were located beneath northern hemisphere ice sheets (e.g., western Vancouver Island), RSL fall from a mid-Holocene highstand has limited prehistoric earthquake records to the last 1 ka. …”

Controlling hot electrons via plasmon coupling to enhance catalytic reactions in plasmonic Au@SiO2-Pt structures
Published 2022“…Mechanism analysis shows that the higher photocatalytic ability of Au@SiO2-Pt is owing to the Pt-generated hot electrons induced by plasmon coupling enhanced electric field near Pt nanoparticles. Second, by depositing Au@SiO2-Pt nanostructure onto substrate with intention, the interparticle distance between plasmonic Au cores were significantly reduced. …”

Patch repair technology with sacrificial zinc anodes in RC slabs with corroded steel bars
Published 2023“…Furthermore, the highest amount of macrocell corrosion can be encountered at steel segments near the patch repair area. Compared with each sample, it was discovered that zinc sacrificial anodes installed within areas with high level of chloride contamination provided the best protection for the steel reinforcement against corrosion damage.…”

Cooperative collision avoidance in multirobot systems using fuzzy rules and velocity obstacles
Published 2023“…Moreover, they cannot deal with uncertain sensing data and linguistic requirements (e.g., the speed of a robot should not be large when it is near to other robots). Hence, to guarantee real-time collision avoidance and deal with linguistic requirements, a distributed and hybrid motion planning method, named Fuzzy-VO, is proposed for multirobot systems. …”

Flow-through electrochemically assisted reverse-osmosis: a new process towards low-chemical desalination
Published 2024“…Upon applying an extremely low-energy (< 0.005 kWh/m3) electrical field, the FT-EARO module could (1) produce a permeate with pH >10 with no alkali dosage, ensuring sufficient boron removal in the second-pass RO, and (2) generate protons and low-concentration free chlorine near the membrane surface, potentially discouraging membrane scaling and biofouling while maintaining satisfactory desalination performance. …”

Numerical modeling of motion and deformation of cells in microscale hydrodynamic and electric fields
Published 2012“…The Morse potential model is employed to describe the interaction between the two cells, identified by the intercellular interaction force behaving as a weak attractive force at far distance but a strong repulsive force at near distance. As the first academic achievement made in this thesis, the two novel numerical methods are developed to efficiently treat the two-fluid model, namely the modified particle binary level set (MPBLS) method for tracking the cell membrane, and the modified semi-implicit method for pressure linked equations-revised (modified SIMPLER). • The MPBLS method employs the binary level set function to distinguish different materials, and further scatters a number of Lagrangian particles on the interface to correct the interface and provide the interface information. …”
