Microstructural aspects of composites such as particle size, shape, and distribution play important roles in deformation behavior. 3D visualization of porosity and Fe-rich inclusions in three dimensions is critical to a thorough understanding of fatigue resistance of metal matrix composites (MMC) because cracks often initiate at these defects. In this paper we have used X-ray synchrotron tomogr...

We report quasi-phase-matched singly resonant optical parametric oscillation in electric-field-poled lithium niobate waveguides. Parametric gains as high as 250%/W, an oscillation threshold of 1.6 W (peak), idler output powers of 220 mW, and a tuning range of 1180-2080 nm for pump wavelengths of 756-772 nm have been observed. Pump depletion is limited to 40% because of the multiple launched tra...

Climate change is likely to manifest in river flow changes across the globe, which could have wide-ranging consequences for society and natural environment. A number of previous studies used UK Projections 2009 (UKCP09) investigate potential impacts on flows Britain, but these projections were recently updated by release UKCP18, thus there a need update studies. Here, UKCP18 Regional (12 km) ar...

A substantial share of the building sector in global energy demand has attracted scholars to focus on efficiency sector. The building’s consumption been projected increase due mass urbanization, high living comfort standards, and, more importantly, climate change. While change potential impacts rate buildings, several studies have shown that these differ from one region another. In response, th...

Tropical Cyclones (TCs) and Easterly Waves (EWs) are the most important phenomena in North America. Thus, examining their future changes is crucial for adaptation mitigation strategies. The Community Earth System Model drove a three-member regional model multi-physics ensemble under Representative Concentration Pathways 8.5 emission scenario creating four scenarios (2020–2030, 2030–2040, 2050–2...
