Understanding Failure Mechanisms using Multi-Scale Analyses to Improve the Performance of Zinc Metal and Lithium-ion Batteries
… they are beginning to be implemented on a large scale for grid-scale energy storage systems and electric vehicles. However, applications for LIBs are limited by their cost, which is influenced by the limited availability of materials used in their construction and by the added cost of control and …

Influence of Organic Matter Source, Abundance, and Growth Habit on Depositional Textures and Associated Pore Attributes of Hypersaline Lacustrine Microbial Deposits (Holocene, Bahamas)
… on Holocene microbialite fabrics. Integrated multi-scale analyses characterize fabrics of Holocene microbialites in a small, shallow, hypersaline, alkaline lake in the southern Bahamas. The results of analyses reveal: systematic distribution of surface sediment, unlithified microbial mats, and …

Biomechanics of Hierarchical Elastic Systems
… energy plays important roles in biology across scales, from the molecular to organismal level, and across the tree of life. The ubiquity of elastic systems in biology is partly due to the variety of useful functions they permit such as the simplification of motor control in running cockroaches …

Spatial variability in modern brachiopod assemblages: paleoecological and geochemical implications
… patterns through geologic time depends upon multi-scale analyses of spatial variation within narrow temporal intervals. This work investigates geochemical and paleoecological patterns in modern brachiopod faunas which may serve as analogues for ancient brachiopod assemblages. The …

FACTORS INFLUENCING THE SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL STRUCTURE OF A CARNIVORE GUILD IN THE CENTRAL HARDWOOD REGION
… time period is the cause. I conducted a large-scale non-invasive carnivore survey using an occupancy modeling framework to quantify factors affecting the structure of this widely-occurring carnivore guild. I used baited remote cameras during 3-week surveys to detect carnivores at 1,118 …

Analytical Modeling and Diagnosis of Penetration Rate Performance of PDC Bits
… adapted from a model of machining metal and then scaled up as a full scale polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) bit model. The models compared well with laboratory test results by predicting penetration rate performance based on the strength and internal friction angle of the rock, confining …
