Environmental and social factors influencing the spatiotemporal variation of archaeological sites during the historical period in the Heihe River basin, northwest China by Shi, Zhilin, Chen, Tingting, Storozum, Michael J., Liu, Fengwen

“…In the Western Xia-Yuan period (AD 1038–1368), people mainly settled in the lower reaches of the Heihe River basin and only returned to the middle reaches of the Heihe River basin during the Ming and Qing dynasties (AD 1368–1912). Although climate change and the local environment affected human activities in Heihe River basin, geopolitical events, such as forced mass migrations, are more responsible for influencing the distribution of archaeological sites over the past 2000 years.…”

High-efficiency metalenses for zone-plate-array lithography by Smith, Henry I, Mondol, Mark, Zhang, Feng, Savas, Timothy, Walsh, Michael

“…In other cases, the e-beam-written pattern was transferred into a spin-on hard mask and then into an organic dielectric of 1.9 index of refraction using reactive ion etching. Focal efficiencies up to 69% are predicted for such structures, a significant improvement over the binary pi-phase zone plates used previously.…”
