A Hybrid Li-Air Battery With Buckypaper Air Cathode And Sulfuric Acid Electrolyte, Yunfeng Li, Kan Huang, Yangchuan Xing Oct 2012

A Hybrid Li-Air Battery With Buckypaper Air Cathode And Sulfuric Acid Electrolyte, Yunfeng Li, Kan Huang, Yangchuan Xing

Chemical and Biochemical Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

We demonstrate a type of carbon nanotube based buckypaper cathode in a hybrid electrolyte Li-air battery (HyLAB) that showed outstanding discharging performances. the HyLAB has sulfuric acid as the catholyte and a large active electrode area (10 cm 2). the active cathode layer was made from a buckypaper with 5 wt.% Pt supported on carbon nanotubes (Pt/CNTs) for oxygen reduction and evolution. a similar cathode was constructed with a catalyst of 5 wt.% Pt supported on carbon black (Pt/CB). It is demonstrated that sulfuric acid can achieve high discharging current densities while maintaining relatively high cell potentials. the cell with …

Insights Into The Early Transgressive History Of Lake Bonneville From Stratigraphic Investigation Of Pilot Valley Playa, Ut/Nv, Usa, Kevin A. Rey Oct 2012

Insights Into The Early Transgressive History Of Lake Bonneville From Stratigraphic Investigation Of Pilot Valley Playa, Ut/Nv, Usa, Kevin A. Rey

Theses and Dissertations

Multiple shallow sediment cores were obtained from Pilot Valley playa, a sub-basin located in the northwestern Bonneville basin. Analysis of stratigraphy, ostracodes, mineralogy, chemistry, total inorganic carbon (TIC), total organic carbon (TOC), and stable isotopes were performed to better place these sediments into proper context with respect to the Lake Bonneville cycle. Results showed Pilot Valley playa contains a nearly full sequence of Lake Bonneville deep-water marl in addition to sediments deposited before and after the Lake Bonneville cycle. Within the marl is a sequence of organic rich algal laminated marl correlated with the Stansbury oscillation. Four 14C ages ranging …


Network-Aware Scheduling Of Mapreduce Framework On Distributed Clusters Over High Speed Networks, Praveenkumar Kondikoppa, Chui Hui Chiu, Cheng Cui, Lin Xue, Seung Jong Park Oct 2012

Network-Aware Scheduling Of Mapreduce Framework On Distributed Clusters Over High Speed Networks, Praveenkumar Kondikoppa, Chui Hui Chiu, Cheng Cui, Lin Xue, Seung Jong Park

Computer Science Faculty Research & Creative Works

Google's MapReduce has gained significant popularity as a platform for large scale distributed data processing. Hadoop [1] is an open-source implementation of MapReduce [11] framework, originally it was developed to operate over single cluster environment and could not be leveraged for distributed data processing across federated clusters. At multiple federated clusters connected with high-speed networks, computing resources are provisioned from any of the clusters from the federation. Placement of map tasks close to its data split is critical for performance of Hadoop. In this work, we add network awareness in Hadoop while scheduling the map tasks over federated clusters. We …

By Word Of Mouth: Historical Performance Comes Of Age, Ingrid E. Pearson Oct 2012

By Word Of Mouth: Historical Performance Comes Of Age, Ingrid E. Pearson

Performance Practice Review

Since Clive Brown’s 1991 accusation that many twentieth-century manifestations of historical performance lacked an appropriate degree of musical sensitivity, the historical performance movement has truly come of age. In the arena of Western Art music, historical performance is now an essential component of musical training and education. Successful performers must be able to seamlessly function across the widest possible range of musical styles, accommodating an equally wide gamut of tastes, both individually and collectively.

In 1982, nine years earlier, Walter Ong’s Orality and Literacy: The Technologizing of the Word explored differences between oral and literate cultures. Of particular interest to …
