Prototype wireless sensors for monitoring subsurface processes in snow and firn

open access: yesJournal of Glaciology, 2018
The detection and monitoring of meltwater within firn presents a significant monitoring challenge. We explore the potential of small wireless sensors (ETracer+, ET+) to measure temperature, pressure, electrical conductivity and thus the presence or ...

Acidity Levels in Ice Sheets from Radio Echo-Sounding [PDF]

open access: yesAnnals of Glaciology, 1982
It has been suggested (Hammer 1977, Gudmandsen and Overgaard 1978, Millar 1981) that layers of acidic ice, formed after large volcanic eruptions, are a cause of radio echo layering. The power reflection coefficient (PRO of these reflecting layers may be related to their acid content and thickness.

The Cuttlebone Blueprint for Multifunctional Metamaterials: Design Taxonomy, Functional Decoupling, and Future Horizons

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Cuttlebone‐inspired metamaterials exploit a septum‐wall architecture to achieve excellent mechanical and functional properties. This review classifies existing designs into direct biomimetic, honeycomb‐type, and strut‐type architectures, summarizes governing design principles, and presents a decoupled design framework for interpreting multiphysical ...

Optoelectronic Synaptic Devices Using Molecular Telluride Phase‐Change Inks for Three‐Factor Learning

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Optoelectronic synaptic devices based on solution‐processed molecular telluride GST‐225 phase‐change inks are demonstrated for three‐factor learning. A global optical signal broadcast through a silicon waveguide induces non‐volatile conductance updates exclusively in locally electrically flagged memristors.

Radio echo-sounding of the Antarctic ice sheet.

open access: yesJournal of the Japanese Society of Snow and Ice, 1989
氷床流動の観測に基づいて, 南極氷床の変動 (例えば, 氷床域の拡大, 縮小) を明らかにすることを目的として, 東南極の東経35度から東経45度に至るみずほ高原地域において, 過去20年にわたって観測が続けられてきた.その結果, 白瀬氷河流域では.年間約70cmもの氷厚の減少が観測された.この氷厚減少から, 白瀬氷河流域の氷床が不安定状態にあることが示唆され, 原因として, 氷床底面での“底面すぺり”が指摘された。そこで, 氷床底面の物理的状態を調べるために電波氷厚計を用いての電波探査が氷床上の流動測定・雪氷観測ルートに沿って, 1982年以降実施された.これまでの電波観測では, 送信時刻と基盤からの反射時刻の時間間隔から氷厚のみを求めていたが, この研究では, 氷床氷の厚さを測定するだけでなく,

Shaping of Biohybrid Functional Living Materials

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work demonstrates a strategy for shaping living mycelium into functional materials by directing its natural growth. Nanoparticles armor hyphae, micron‐scale particles entangle within the network, and printed hydrogel architectures steer expansion, creating defined geometries.

The Initial Results of the Chung-Li Dynasonde for RF Environment Surveillance and Ionospheric Observations

open access: yesTerrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2008
In 2004, a NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) MF/HF radar or dynasonde was set up by the National Central University in Chung-Li (24.5°N, 121.0°E), Taiwan.
