(author), Ning, Fulong (author)Methane hydrate dissociation kinetics can be inhibited in NaCl solutions; however, this effect is reversed by promoting bubble formation that enhances dissociation. The negative and positive effects of inorganic salt injection on gas production from hydrate-bearing sediments are still controversial. Here, molecular dynamics simulations were...journal article 2022

(author), Nyland, Kristina (author), Fan, Lulu (author), Tafoya, Daniel (author)NGC 4395 is a dwarf galaxy at a distance of about 4.3 Mpc (scale: ∼0.021 pc mas-1). It hosts an intermediate-mass black hole (IMBH) with a mass between ∼104 and ∼105 solar masses. The early radio observations of NGC 4395 with the very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) network, High Sensitivity Array (HSA), at 1.4 GHz in 2005 showed that its...journal article 2022

Fan, R. (author), Habibi, P. (author), Padding, J.T. (author), Hartkamp, Remco (author)In heterogeneous catalysis, reactivity and selectivity are not only influenced by chemical processes occurring on catalytic surfaces but also by physical transport phenomena in the bulk fluid and fluid near the reactive surfaces.

Zhang, H. (author), Berkhout, Marco (author), Makinwa, K.A.A. (author), Fan, Q. (author)This article presents a class-D amplifier (CDA) with high dynamic range (DR). To eliminate the typically dominant noise contribution of a resistive feedback network, the input and feedback signals are chopped and applied to a capacitive feedback network. However, this leads to high-voltage (HV) transients at the input of the loop filter,...journal article 2022

Karmakar, S. (author), Berkhout, Marco (author), Makinwa, K.A.A. (author), Fan, Q. (author)This article presents a Class-D audio amplifier for capacitive piezoelectric speaker loads. Employing a dual voltage feedback (VFB)/current feedback (CFB) topology, the amplifier is capable of damping LC resonance without using an external damping resistor, therefore reducing system power consumption, cost, and size. Additional power savings are...journal article 2022
