In recent years, organic memory devices with an active layer sandwiched between two electrodes have attracted much attention as future information storage devices [1–5]. The demand on organic non-volatile memory devices increases rapidly due to their simplicity in device structure, good scalability, low cost potential, low power operation and large capacity for data storage. Electrical bistable...

"VOC emissions from beef feedlot pen surfaces as affected by within-pen location, moisture and temperature" (2015). Air quality Feedlot Gas chromatography Odour VOC A laboratory study was conducted to evaluate the effects of pen location, moisture, and temperature on emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC) from surface materials obtained from feedlot pens where beef cattle were fed a diet...

Mesoporous silicas, especially those exhibiting ordered pore systems and uniform pore diameters, have shown great potential for sensing applications in recent years. Morphological control grants them versatility in the method of deployment whether as bulk powders, monoliths, thin films, or embedded in coatings. High surface areas and pore sizes greater than 2 nm make them effective as adsorbent...

Metal oxide (MO) based solar thermochemical H2O (WS) and CO2 splitting (CDS) is one of the most promising potential-containing processes that can be used to produce H2 syngas (liquid fuel precursor). Several non-volatile volatile MOs were considered redox materials for solar-driven WS CDS operation. Among all examined materials, on their high O2 storage capacity, faster oxidation kinetics, good...

Mixtures of hydrogen storage materials containing the elements of boron, nitrogen, carbon, i.e., isomers of BN cyclopentanes are examined to find a 'fuel blend' that remains a liquid phase throughout hydrogen release, maximizes hydrogen storage density, minimizes impurities and remains thermally stable at ambient temperatures. We find that the mixture of ammonia borane dissolved in 3-methyl-1,2...

background and objective: reduced fat cheese often exhibits poor sensory quality due to the reduction of fat, which plays a critical role in flavor and texture. therefore, there is the challenge to produce a reduced fat cheese with improved sensory attributes and texture that is also comparable to its full-fat counterpart. the main objective of this research was to investigate the effect of dif...

Introduction: Magmatic volatiles such as H 2 O, F, Cl, CO 2 , and S play a critical role in physiochemical processes that control thermal stabilities of minerals and melts, magma eruptive processes, and transport of economically important metals. Of these volatiles, water is the dominant magmatic volatile in terrestrial magmas both because of its abundance and its strong effect on physical prop...

1. Introduction/Overview: Escarpments along Noachian cratered plateaus that form the margins of the outflow channels, chasmata and chaotic terrains [1] commonly display layered sequences appearing to contain populations of buried impact craters [2,3]. We refer to these materials as the Noachian Basal Layered Unit (NBLU), which resides stratigraphically at the base of the Hesperian and above the...
