The impact of an extreme observation in a paired samples design (2017)
Journal Article

The effect of systematically altering the value of a single observation within a paired differences design is considered. A paradox is observed for the paired samples t-test, where increasing the value of an observation in the direction of the true m...

Supercapacitive microbial desalination cells: New class of power generating devices for reduction of salinity content (2017)
Journal Article

© 2017 The Author(s) In this work, the electrodes of a microbial desalination cell (MDC) are investigated as the positive and negative electrodes of an internal supercapacitor. The resulting system has been named a supercapacitive microbial desalinat...

What works in the field? Evaluating informal science events (2017)
Journal Article

Around the world, increasing numbers of people are attending informal science events, often ones that are part of multi-event festivals that cross cultural boundaries. For the researchers who take part, and the organizers, evaluating the events' succ... Read More about What works in the field? Evaluating informal science events.

Kinship structures create persistent channels for language transmission (2017)
Journal Article

© 2017, National Academy of Sciences. All rights reserved. Languages are transmitted through channels created by kinship systems. Given sufficient time, these kinship channels can change the genetic and linguistic structure of populations. In traditi...

Coordinated control of a wind-methanol-fuel cell system with hydrogen storage (2017)
Journal Article

This paper presents a wind-methanol-fuel cell system with hydrogen storage. It can manage various energy flow to provide stable wind power supply, produce constant methanol, and reduce CO2 emissions. Firstly, this study establishes the theoretical ba... Read More about Coordinated control of a wind-methanol-fuel cell system with hydrogen storage.

Microbial desalination cells with efficient platinum-group-metal-free cathode catalysts (2017)
Journal Article

© 2017 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim. An iron-nitrogen-carbon-based catalyst was used at the cathode of a microbial desalination cell (MDC) and compared with platinum (Pt) and an activated carbon (AC) cathode. The Fe-N−C catalyst was p... Read More about Microbial desalination cells with efficient platinum-group-metal-free cathode catalysts.

Development of an Indoor Photovoltaic Energy Harvesting Module for Autonomous Sensors in Building Air Quality Applications (2017)
Journal Article

© 2017 IEEE. A 50 mm × 20 mm × 15 mm indoor photovoltaic (PV) energy harvesting power module (IPEHPM) has been developed for powering an Internet of Things (IoT) sensor node containing a low-power CO 2 sensor for automatic building ventilation. It i... Read More about Development of an Indoor Photovoltaic Energy Harvesting Module for Autonomous Sensors in Building Air Quality Applications.

Large-Scale Streamwise Vortices in Turbulent Channel Flow Induced by Active Wall Actuations (2017)
Journal Article

© 2017, Springer Science+Business Media B.V., part of Springer Nature. Direct numerical simulations of turbulent flow in a plane channel using spanwise alternatively distributed strips (SADS) are performed to investigate the characteristics of large-...

Ensemble-Empirical-Mode-Decomposition based micro-Doppler signal separation and classification (2017)
Journal Article

The target echo signals obtained by Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and Ground Moving Target Indicator (GMTI platforms are mainly composed of two parts, the micro-Doppler signal and the target body part signal. The wheeled vehicle and the track vehicl... Read More about Ensemble-Empirical-Mode-Decomposition based micro-Doppler signal separation and classification.

Improved power and long term performance of microbial fuel cell with Fe-N-C catalyst in air-breathing cathode (2017)
Journal Article

© 2017 Power output limitation is one of the main challenges that needs to be addressed for full-scale applications of the Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) technology. Previous studies have examined electrochemical performance of different cathode electrode...
