Stability And Equation Of State Of A Nanocrystalline Ga-Ge Mullite In A Vitroceramic Composite: A Synchrotron X-Ray Iffraction Study, Kristina E. Lipinska-Kalita, Patricia Kalita, Cedric Gobin, Oliver Hemmers, Thomas Hartmann, Gino Mariotto

Environmental Studies Faculty Publications

Synchrotron x-ray diffraction and diamond anvil cell techniques were used to characterize the phase transformations and to evaluate the structural stability at elevated pressures of a developed nanocrystalline composite. The optically transparent material was built of a germanium oxide-based amorphous host matrix with homogeneously dispersed 13±3 nm Ga-Ge mullite-type nanocrystals, which had a structure similar to the conventional Al₂O₃-SiO₂ mullite. The equation of state of the nanocrystals and the overall structural integrity of the nanocomposite were investigated in quasihydrostatic conditions on compression to 36 GPa and on the following decompression to ambient conditions. The overall …

Organic Farms And Agricultural Chemicals In Maine, Rose Becker ('08)

Atlas of Maine

Organic Farms and Agricultural Chemicals in Maine shows the percentage of land treated by pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, and other chemicals in each of the sixteen counties in Maine.

Wetlands And Development In Maine, Alaina Clark ('08)

Atlas of Maine

This map shows the distribution of wetlands in comparison to areas of development in Maine.

Fault Lines And Earthquakes Of Maine, 1568-2005, Caitlin Dufraine ('09)

Atlas of Maine

This map shows the fault lines in the state of Maine, and represents the locations and magnitudes of all the earthquakes that have occurred in the state of Maine from 1568 to 2005. It also includes the earthquakes that occurred outside of Maine but that may have been felt in Maine.

Electrical Hookups And Service Providers In Maine, Eric Hansen ('08)

Atlas of Maine

The electrical hookup layer was provided by the Maine State Planning Office and shows the number of commerical and residential electrcal hookups in 2004. These data were provided by Central Maine Power Company and Bangor Hydro-Electric Company, and only shows data in their distribution area. All other layers were downloaded from the Maine Office of GIS.

Electric Power Service Areas, Energy Lines, And Hydroelectric Dams Of Maine, Ian Mccullough ('10)

Atlas of Maine

This map displays the locations of hydroelectric dams, electric power service areas, power lines, and pipelines in Maine. These elements are related to one another since hydropower is an important energy source in the state of Maine.

Impervious Surfaces Of Maine, Courtney Larson ('08)

Atlas of Maine

Impervious surfaces include objects like buildings, roads, parking lots, and other surfaces that water cannot pass through. Pervious surfaces are mainly natural areas, such as forests and wetlands, but can also include human-modified areas such as cropland. The spatial pattern of impervious surfaces is closely tied to that of developed areas and it can therefore be used as a surrogate variable for development.

Fragmentation And Clearing Of Maine Forest Habitats, 2005, Lindsay Dreiss ('09)

Atlas of Maine

The purpose of this map is to convey the extent of fragmentation in Maine's forests. I chose this particular area to show the immediate effects of logging roads and clearcutting on a local scale. The data were used to focus on current, cleared, and regenerating forest locations as of 2005. A raster layer from the National Atlas database of National Land Cover Data assesses the magnitude of forest fragmentation due to human activities. Roads were also included to emphasize the development of roadways as a cause of fragmentation.

Modeling Potential Tiger Habitat In Hupingshan-Houhe And Mangshan-Nanling National Nature Reserves, China, Charles Carroll ('08), Courtney Larson ('08)

Atlas of Maine

After declining steadily for several decades, the South China tiger (Panthera tigris amoyensis) is now thought to be extinct in the wild. However, there is some hope of reintroduction, with Hupingshan-Houhe and Mangshan-Nanling National Nature Reserves in southern China seeming to hold the most promise. Our study used slope, elevation, vegetation, and landcover variables to construct a rough habitat suitability index for tigers in these two parks. According to our model, there are areas of suitable habitat within both parks. However, there are some important variables that we were unable to include in our model, such as human population density …

A Visibility Analysis Of The Cape Wind Project, Patrick Roche ('09), Caitlin Casey ('09)

Atlas of Maine

Cape Wind has proposed a wind farm of 130 turbines on Horseshoe Shoal in the center of Nantucket Sound. A prominent concern about the project is the impact the visibility of the turbines will have on the region's tourism industry and property values. It is feared that their presence will diminish the value of the pristine coastline that has attracted vacationers to Cape Cod for generations. In this project, we assess the extent to which Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard, and Nantucket will be visually affected by the wind farm. It was completed using a Viewshed Analysis in the GIS program, …

Demographics Of Natural Disaster Hotspots In Maine, Lindsay Dreiss ('09), Caitlin Dufraine ('09)

Atlas of Maine

Natural disasters can cause extensive damage to communities and infrastructure. The state of Maine is fairly lucky because natural disasters are relatively infrequent. Maine does, however, experience earthquakes, flooding, hurricanes, and landslides. Certain areas of the state are more prone to experience natural disaster than others. Using GIS analysis, we are analyzing natural disaster hotspots in Maine to determine if there is a statistically significant relationship between natural disaster susceptibility and socioeconomic variables including income and population.

Modeling Ice Cover On Trails At Grand Canyon National Park, Eric Hansen ('08)

Atlas of Maine

This project used data from the National Park Service, the SRTM data set, and recorded weather conditions to predict snow deposition and snow and ice melt in the Grand Canyon National Park. This model, a simplified version of previous research, shows the location of persistent ice and snow on the Canyon slopes in March.

Habitat Suitability Analysis Of The Critically Endangered Florida Panther, Ian Mccullough ('10), Andrew Young ('09)

Atlas of Maine

The purpose of this study was to conduct a habitat suitability analysis of the critically endangered Florida panther (Felis concolor coryi) in Florida. We gathered land cover, population and road data from the Florida Geographic Data Library and performed map algebra using ESRI’s ArcGIS to compile a suitable habitat map. We found that there is 20381.7 km² of highly suitable habitat and 557124.4 km² of less desirable but usable habitat for the Florida panther. The highest concentration of highly suitable habitat is in Big Cypress National Park, with smaller patches in Tates Hell State Forest and along the southeast portion …

The Carbon Emissions Of The Boston Red Sox, Rosalind Becker ('08), Alaina Clark ('08)

Atlas of Maine

The Boston Red Sox emit a great deal of carbon throughout the regular baseball season because of flights to the home fields of their opponents. Knowing that air travel is one of the biggest transportation-based contributors to global climate change, the Boston Red Sox (and all major league teams) should be encouraged to offset their carbon emissions from regular season travel. Using ArcGIS to map the flight paths along great circle routes, the distance of flights to opponents’ cities was calculated to total the number of miles traveled in the 2008 season. The price of offsetting this carbon was estimated …
