Lešundák, Adam (author), Voigt, D. (author), Cip, Ondrej (author), Berg, Steven Van Den (author)Homodyne interferometry with a frequency comb as multi-wavelength source is a powerful method to measure long distances with high accuracy. The measurement principle requires that individual comb modes are spectrally resolved, making hundreds or thousands of accurately known wavelengths available for interferometry. For this reason the method...journal article 2017

Serpieri, J. (author), Yadala, Srikar (author), Kotsonis, M. (author)In the current study, selective forcing of cross-flow instability modes evolving on a swept wing at is achieved by means of spanwise-modulated plasma actuators, positioned near the leading edge.

Zheng, Fangfang (author), Li, Jie (author), van Zuylen, H.J. (author), Liu, Xiaobo (author), Yang, Hongtai (author)The decision making of travelers for route choice and departure time choice depends on the expected travel time and its reliability. A common understanding of reliability is that it is related to several statistical properties of the travel time distribution, especially to the standard deviation of the travel time and also to the skewness....journal article 2017

Bezantakos, Spyros (author), Schmidt-Ott, F.F.A. (author), Biskos, G. (author)Air quality monitoring using airborne platforms is rapidly gaining ground as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are becoming easier, less expensive, and safer to operate on a routine basis. To facilitate measurements of key atmospheric properties, however, efforts are still required in developing/testing miniaturized instruments for use onboard...journal article 2017

(author), Gauquelin, N. (author), Verbeeck, J (author), Otte, A. F. (author), Gabay, M. (author), Picozzi, S. (author), Caviglia, A. (author)We investigate the thickness-dependent electronic properties of ultrathin SrIrO3 and discover a transition from a semimetallic to a correlated insulating state below 4 unit cells. Low-temperature magnetoconductance measurements show that spin fluctuations in the semimetallic state are significantly enhanced while approaching the transition...journal article 2017

Hadi Mosleh, Mojgan (author), Sedighi, Majid (author), Vardon, P.J. (author), Turner, Matthew (author)The high affinity and adsorption capacity of coal to carbon dioxide provides an alternative approach for the enhanced recovery of methane from unminable coalfields (CO<sub>2</sub>-ECBM) by which a potential solution for long-term CO<sub>2</sub> sequestration in deep geological formations can also be achieved. However, due to chemomechanical...journal article 2017

Dingemans, LM (author), Papadakis, V. (author), Liu, P. (author), Adam, A.J.L. (author), Groves, R.M. (author)Background<br/>Hyperspectral imaging is a technique that enables the mapping of spectral signatures across a surface. It is most commonly used for surface chemical mapping in fields as diverse as satellite remote sensing, biomedical imaging and heritage science. Existing models, such as the Kubelka-Munk theory and the Lambert-Beer law also...journal article 2017

Ali, Yasir S.A. (author), Paron, Paolo (author), Crosato, A. (author), Mohamed, Yasir A. (author)Sediment accumulation hampers optimal water resources management of reservoirs. In the Roseires Reservoir across the Blue Nile River, in Sudan, about 30% of the storage capacity has been lost by sedimentation before dam heightening (2012), despite regular sediment sluicing and flushing. At the same time, increasing soil erosion in the upper...journal article 2017

Osadchii, D. (author), Olivos Suarez, A.I. (author), Bavykina, A.V. (author), Gascon, Jorge (author)Covalent triazine frameworks (CTFs) are porous organic materials promising for applications in catalysis and separation due to their high stability, adjustable porosity, and intrinsic nitrogen functionalities. CTFs are prepared by ionothermal trimerization of aromatic nitriles; however, multiple side reactions also occur under synthesis...journal article 2017

(author), Jarillo-Herrero, Pablo (author), Levitov, Leonid S. (author), Yacoby, Amir (author)Electron surface states in solids are typically confined to the outermost atomic layers and, due to surface disorder, have negligible impact on electronic transport. Here, we demonstrate a very different behavior for surface states in graphene. We probe the wavelike character of these states by Fabry-Perot (FP) interferometry and find that,...journal article 2017
