In recent years, traditional printing methods have been integrated to print flexible electronic devices and circuits. Since process requirements for electronics diff er from those for graphic printing, the fundamentals require rediscovery mainly to optimize manufacturing techniques and to find cost reduction methods without compromising functional performance. In addition, alternative inks need to be formulated to increase the variety of functional inks and to pioneer new product developments. In this report, we investigate a thermoplastic-based nickel ink prototype to print electrodes using a screen-printing process. Process fundamentals are explored, and cost reduction methods are addressed by studying …

Uncertainty Assessment In Biomass Estimation, Isaac Lisle May 2018

Uncertainty Assessment In Biomass Estimation, Isaac Lisle

Isaac Lisle

Carbon stock is the carbon stored in one of the major phases of the carbon cycle, and flux is the movement of carbon between these phases. This study will use a similar model to one previously developed by Gonzalez et al. (2015) to estimate carbon stock and flux in the aboveground living biomass of the State of California and evaluate the uncertainty associated with these estimations. It is important to understand the methods involved in calculating carbon stock and the accompanying uncertainty to determine the best uses for mapping products of forest biomass in California, which is directed by California …

The Role Of Environmental Filtering In Structuring Appalachian Tree Communities: Topographic Influences On Functional Diversity Are Mediated Through Soil Characteristics, Julia I. Chapman, Ryan W. Mcewan Jan 2018

The Role Of Environmental Filtering In Structuring Appalachian Tree Communities: Topographic Influences On Functional Diversity Are Mediated Through Soil Characteristics, Julia I. Chapman, Ryan W. Mcewan

Ryan McEwan

Identifying the drivers of community assembly has long been a central goal in ecology, and the development of functional diversity indices has provided a new way of detecting the influence of environmental gradients on biotic communities. For an old-growth Appalachian forest, we used path analysis to understand how patterns of tree functional diversity relate to topography and soil gradients and to determine whether topographic effects are mediated through soil chemistry. All of our path models supported the idea of environmental filtering: stressful areas (high elevation, low soil moisture, low soil nutrients) were occupied by communities of low functional diversity, which …
