Integration of multiple ultra-capacitor banks in DC microgrid part I by Ahamad Fareed

“…However, with increased load demand mounting, a single UC is no longer feasible to simultaneously provide for all the possible loads and to maintain long-term operation. Therefore, there is a need to configure multiple UC banks in the DC Mg for economic operation of the entire system. …”

Three-photon absorption in seeded CdSe/CdS nanorod heterostructures by Xing, Guichuan, Chakrabortty, Sabyasachi, Ngiam, Song Wee, Chan, Yinthai, Sum, Tze Chien

“…The PL from these rods show clear cubic power dependence and the 3PA cross-section (σ3) was found to be as high as 1.5×10^(-75) cm^6s^2photon^(-2) for 39 nm long rods, which is two to four orders of magnitude larger than those previously reported for spherical semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) under ~100 fs laser pulse excitation. …”

Flood risk analysis under consideration of river system dynamics and spatial temporal scales by Oliver, Julien

“…The frameworks proposed rely on modelling chains, with several or all of the following components: (i) long-term continuous and spatially coherent forcing events, (ii) a probabilistic river channel model, (iii) a stochastic structure failure model, (iv) an efficient inundation modelling strategy, and (v) a probabilistic damage simulation model. …”

Behavior of the southernmost San Andreas fault during the past 300 years by Sieh, Kerry, Williams, Patrick L.

“…Furthermore, neotectonic and paleoseismic data indicate that the fault does produce very large earthquakes every two to three centuries. In view of its long-term behavior, the occurrence of creep along the surficial trace of the fault in the Coachella Valley is of particular interest. …”

Interdependent intermetallic compound growth in an electroless Ni-P/Sn-3.5Ag reaction couple by Kumar, Aditya, Chen, Zhong

“…It was found that the Ni3Sn4 and Ni3P layers grow predominantly as long as the electroless Ni-P layer is present; however, once the Ni-P layer is fully consumed, the Ni2SnP layer grows rapidly at the expense of the Ni3P layer. …”
