River, Lake and Ocean Water Cooling
Using water directly from rivers, lakes, and oceans is becoming an option for end users to save energy, avoid ozone depleting refrigerants, and save space. The first system in the U.S. at Ithica, NY, which [...]

Measurement of O-phthallaldehyde (OPA) by High Pressure Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) with Post Column Derivatization
O-phthaldehyde (OPA) is commonly used as a disinfectant that demonstrates microbicidal activity against a range of microorganisms. The Internal Active Thermal Control System (IATCS) is a water based system that helps facilitate heat transfer aboard [...]
Potential of Water‐Responsive Materials to Harvest Energy from Evaporation
Water-responsive materials swell and shrink in response to changes in relative humidity (RH) and can be potentially used to harvest energy from evaporating water. Here, we investigated the potential of harvesting energy from naturally evaporating [...]
Investigation on capillary force of nanoscale water cluster using a Hybrid AFM-MEMS System
The interaction force between surfaces has a major effect on the behavior of the materials, such as nanoparticles, proteins, various bio-molecules, and so on. The phenomenon of stiction influenced by interaction forces impacts the repetitive [...]
Viscoelastic Contact Resonance Force Microscopy of Polymers in Liquid
Contact resonance force microscopy (CR-FM) is an AFM-based technique for quantitatively determining the nanoscale mechanical properties of materials. In CR-FM, the resonant properties of an AFM cantilever in contact with the surface are interpreted as [...]
Testing a Geochemical Tool to Enhance Our Ability to Ensure Water Security
Chemicals that are transported in our water can be used to our advantage. Both natural and anthropogenic chemicals can be targeted to understand the way our water behaves. The use of boron isotope compositions has [...]

Chemical Fluid Deposition of Ru/MCM-41 as Catalyst for Hydrogenation in Green Environments
The Ru/MCM-41 catalyst prepared by chemical fluid deposition technique exhibited high catalytic activity for hydrogenation of p-xylene, bisphenol A, bisphenol F and benzoic acid, which was higher than that of a conventionally prepared Ru/MCM-41 catalyst. [...]
