We evaluated the effectiveness of different approaches to compensate for across-track brightness gradients within a hyperspectral image mosaic comprised of multiple flight lines in the San Francisco Bay Area. We calculated ...

In response to increasing Arctic temperatures, ice-rich permafrost landscapes are undergoing rapid changes. In permafrost lowlands, polygonal ice wedges are especially prone to degradation. Melting of ice wedges results ...

Analysis of land surface temperature (LST) spatiotemporal variations and characterization of the factors affecting these variations are of great importance in various environmental studies and applications. The aim of this ...

The prolonged drought of recent years combined with the steadily increasing bark beetle infestation (Ips typographus) is causing enormous damage in Germany’s spruce forests. This preliminary study investigates whether early ...

Nanocomposites of TiO2 and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been extensively studied in photocatalysis, sensing, and energy conversion and storage over the last decade. The unique properties of these nanocomposites are greatly ...

This work reports the facile synthesis of a Sn–P composite combined with nitrogen doped hard carbon (NHC) obtained by ball‐milling and its use as electrode material for sodium ion batteries (SIBs). The “Sn4P3”/NHC electrode ...

This study investigates the effect of anthropogenic heat emissions from air conditioning systems (AC) on air temperature and AC energy consumption in Berlin, Germany. We conduct simulations applying the model system ...

Plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) can serve in discharge mode as distributed energy and power resources operating as vehicle-to-grid (V2G) devices and in charge mode as loads or grid-to-vehicle devices. It has been documented ...

A thermal atomic layer deposition (ALD) process to fabricate MoS2 thin films is successfully demonstrated by using cycloheptatriene molybdenum tricarbonyl (C7H8Mo(CO)3) and H2S as precursors at an ALD temperature below ...

An InGaAs quantum dot (QD) photodetector is directly grown on a silicon substrate. GaAs-on-Si virtual substrates with a defect density in the order of 106 cm−2 are fabricated by using strained-layer superlattice as dislocation ...
