Through its public engagement work in nearly every county in the United States, the Cooperative Extension Service has the potential to meaningfully contribute to local climate change adaptation and mitigation efforts. ...

As global temperatures rise, invertebrates, particularly cold-specialized species, face increased risks due to longer and more intense heat waves and higher average temperatures. Grasshoppers, specifically the diverse genus ...

Phase change material thermal energy storage systems are attractive due to the energy density it can provide, yet phase change materials tend to have low conductivity and cannot charge or discharge at a desired rate. This ...

A finite element method with a weak embedded discontinuity is implemented with a global tracking strategy to track the evolution of adiabatic shear bands in metallic materials. The continuum model used is developed with a ...

We have developed a computer-controlled tactile vision substitution system which maximizes use of the skin's ability to process spatial and temporal information. The system receives a 128-column X 64-row image from a ...
