Rethinking seismic protection in areas of substandard construction

McGlynn C., Zhu C., Rowan University, US

Populations continue to increase in areas that have high levels of seismic activity, especially in urban communities along the western United States, Japan, China, South America, and India. By 2030, approximately 60 percent of the [...]

Development of a Platinum Nanoparticle based Microcombustor Power Device

Bakrania S., Rowan University, US

Microcombustors coupled with thermoelectric devices have the potential to provide a prolonged power source for portable devices as opposed to conventional batteries due to significantly higher energy densities. Recharging then can be easily achieved by [...]

Grid-Connected Photovoltaic System Parity with PJM Generation

Jansson P.M., Schmalzel J.L., Barreiro C., Rowan University, US

This research provides compelling economic and technical analysis of photovoltaic (PV) system performance in New Jersey and contrasts the generation availability marginal pricing on the world’s largest regional transmission organization (PJM). This analysis indicates that [...]
