Wrinkling Patterns on Curved Surface with Gradient Curvature under Compression
… surface, i.e., tori and cones, with varying curvatures and global deformation. By tuning the geometry confine-ment and material properties, we can control the surface morphologies in these systems which can potentially be applied to wide applications in bio-inspired devices, microfluidic, and …

Modeling the Distribution of the Northern Hardwood Forest Type in Carolina Northern Flying Squirrel (Glaucomys sabrinus coloratus) Recovery Areas of the Southern Appalachians
… forest types included elevation, aspect, slope gradient, curvature, and landform index. I used an information-theoretic approach to assess six models based on existing literature and a global model. My results indicate that on a regional, multi-state scale, latitude, elevation, aspect, and …

Ring current -atmosphere interactions model with stormtime magnetic field
… bounce-averaged hydrogen densities and magnetic gradient-curvature drift velocities (general case) for the moderate storm of April 21-25, 2001, are presented. A comparison in the calculations between T04s and a dipole field shows that the bounce-averaged hydrogen density for T04s differs with …

Numerical simulation of the Jovian torus-driven plasma transport
… of the Io plasma torus is opposed by pressure gradients in the energetic particles outside the torus. Many simulations have been performed for cases where the overall system is inter-change unstable under the ideal-MHD assumption E + v $\times$ B = 0. For such cases, the torus breaks up …
