Temperature- and magnetic-field-induced phase transitions in Fe-rich FePt alloys
(American Institute of Physics, 2007-06-01)
Structural and magnetic properties of the FexPt100-x (x=78–88) alloys have been investigated. It is found that for all of the investigated compositions, a phase transition occurs from the disordered γ phase to the ordered ...
Improving Hydrologic Prediction Via Data Assimilation, Data Fusion And High-resolution Modeling
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2014-12)
With population growth, urbanization and climate change, accurate and skillful monitoring and prediction of water resources and water-related hazards are becoming increasingly important to maintaining and improving the ...
Cutoff Frequencies For Alfven Waves In The Solar Atmosphere
(Physics, 2014-12)
Propagation of linear Alfven waves in the isothermal and non-isothermal solaratmosphere is investigated numerically and analytically. It is shown that thetwo wave variables, the velocity and magnetic field perturbations, ...
Evolution Of Sex Ratios And Sex Determination Mechanisms: Lessons From Nematodes With Three Genders
(Biology, 2014-12)
In sexually reproducing species, the decision to allocate resources towards male and female reproductive function is called sex allocation. Although theoretical and empirical work has been largely successful, the underlying ...
Investigating The Global Geospace Response To A Period Of Solar Wind High Speed Streams Using The Lyon-Fedder-Mobarry MHD Simulation
(Physics, 2014-12)
As the solar wind flows past the Earth, it interacts with the Earth's magnetic field and transfers energy and momentum to the geospace environment. During times when the solar cycle is near a minimum, there is a tendency ...
Condition Assessment Of Fiber Reinforced Polymer Strengthening Of Bridge Components
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2014-12)
Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRP) is a newly developed composite type of material which have many advantages over conventional materials (concrete and steel) like light weight, non-corrosive nature, design flexibility and ...
Foraminifers Of The Clarita Formation (Wenlock, Silurian), From The Arbuckle Mountains, Oklahoma
(Geology, 2014-12)
The study, identification, and classification of Silurian foraminifers from the Arbuckle Mountains in Oklahoma have attracted little attention since the work of Moreman and Ireland in late 1930's. These authors described ...
A Study On The Effect Of Magnetic Field On The Corrosion Behavior Of Materials
(Materials Science & Engineering, 2014)
Corrosion causes deterioration of a material due to its environment. Corrosion control has been one of the biggest challenges in most industries since many years. There are various notable and unknown factors that influence ...
Mitigating The Urban Heat Island Through A Targeted Look At Reforestation And Preservation Near Vulnerable Populations: An Applied Suitability Model
(Urban & Public Affairs, 2014-12)
The urban heat island (UHI) is a pervasive phenomenon that affects city dwellers. There are certain populations who are especially vulnerable to its affects. Studies have shown that the urban tree canopy helps to mitigate ...
Computational Analysis Of Nanostructures Formed In Molten Salt Nanofluids
(Mechanical Engineering, 2014-12)
Meeting the continuously increasing demand of `clean' energy is the biggest challenge of the energy research field. Amongst the many renewable sources of energy, energy from the Sun is one of the biggest sources in the ...
