(2014-04-01)Department: Interdisciplinary Studies: Environmental ManagementThe Department of Energy (DOE) is responsible for the cleanup of nuclear waste at former nuclear weapons sites across the United States. Cleanup activities of particular interest include the containment of waste in near ...
-
(2003-02-20)Department: Electrical EngineeringThe continuous demand for higher packing density and faster operating speeds in modern digital CMOS circuits has driven the scaling of the metal-oxide-silicon field effect transistors. The use of scaling schemes which do ...
-
(2016-08-16)Department: Civil EngineeringThe degradation of cementitious materials typically begins on the nanoscale and progressively worsens to the macroscale, therefore, carbon nanofibers (CNFs) are excellent candidates for reinforcement of cementitious materials ...
-
(2016-07-29)Department: Chemical EngineeringEnzymatic proteins catalyze biochemical reactions central to many cellular processes. Across all kingdoms of life, members of the AAA+ (ATPases associated with diverse cellular activities plus) superfamily of enzymes convert ...
