The state of water quality lakes is highly related to watershed processes which will be responsible for the delivery sediment, nutrients, and other pollutants receiving bodies. spatiotemporal variability parameters along with seasonal changes were studied Lake Okeechobee, South Florida. dynamics selected four parameters: total phosphate (TP), Kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN), suspended solid (TSS), chlo...

We investigate both experimentally and theoretically the waveguiding properties of a novel double trench waveguide where a conventional single-mode strip waveguide is embedded in a two dimensional photonic crystal (PhC) slab formed in silicon on insulator (SOI) wafers. We demonstrate that the bandwidth for relatively low-loss (50dB/cm) waveguiding is significantly expanded to 250nm covering alm...

Methionine-gold nanoparticles (MGNs) was synthesized by conjugating methionine via dithiocarbamate linkage to gold (GNPs), prepared simultaneously one pot modified Burst method. Formation of MGNs confirmed UV-visible spectroscopy and appearance new IR bands in the range 934 cm?1 1086 shifting N-C,S-S S-C-S stretching, confirms involvement ‘-S-C-S-’ group with GNPs. The presence Au EDXA spectrum...

Portion of a Landsat TM scene (Bands 3, 2, 1 as RGB) with normalized contrast enhancement. Dark lava flows and bright salt flats reveal little local detail. Same scene with the RGB LACE filter applied with Normalized input redistribution. The final image is a weighted average of the LACE filter output (90%) and the original image (10%). Enhanced contrast in dark and light areas brings out signi...

Modified group projector technique for induced representations is a powerful tool for calculation and symmetry quantum numbers assignation of a tight binding Hamiltonian energy bands of crystals. Namely, the induced type structure of such a Hamiltonian enables efficient application of the procedure: only the interior representations of the orbit stabilizers are to be considered. Then the genera...

Vacuum ultraviolet excitation spectra at ∼10 K have been recorded for [Formula: see text] transitions of Cs(2)NaYF(6):Ln(3+) (Ln = Nd, Sm, Eu, Tb, Ho, Er, Tm). In these high bandgap hosts the lanthanide ions occupy octahedral symmetry sites. The spectra comprise broad, structured bands and in most cases the individual vibronic structure is not resolved. Simulations of the relative intensities a...

The Hydraulic External Pre-Isolator (HEPI) is the first 6 degrees of freedom active seismic isolation system implemented at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO). Implementation was first completed at the LIGO Livingston Observatory (LLO) prior to LIGO’s 5th science run, successfully cutting down the disturbance seen by LLO’s suspended optics in the two most prominent s...

We calculate the strength of effective onsite Coulomb interaction (Hubbard $U$) in two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal (TM) dihalides MX$_2$ and trihalides MX$_3$ (M=Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni; X=Cl, Br, I) from first principles using constrained random-phase approximation. The correlated subspaces are formed $t_{2g}$ or $e_g$ bands at Fermi energy. Elimination efficient screening taking place...

The weighted mean temperature (Tm) is a vital parameter for converting zenith wet delay (ZWD) into precipitation water vapor (PWV) and plays an essential part in the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) inversion of PWV. To address inability current mainstream models to fit nonlinear relationship between Tm meteorological spatiotemporal factors, whose accuracy limited, model using random f...
