Emerging Investigators Series: Pyrolysis Removes Common Microconstituents Triclocarban, Triclosan, and Nonylphenol from Biosolids [PDF]
, 2016 Reusing biosolids is vital for the sustainability of wastewater management. Pyrolysis is an anoxic thermal degradation process that can be used to convert biosolids into energy rich py-gas and py-oil, and a beneficial soil amendment, biochar.

Tunable Tactile Synapses Enabled by Erasable Doping in Iongel‐Gated Nanotube Network Transistors
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Artificial tactile synaptic sensors are realized by an iongel‐gated single‐walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) transistor with reversible doping characteristics. The device senses and memorizes tactile stimuli and exhibits gate bias‐dependent excitatory or inhibitory synaptic behavior.

Modeling ammonia emissions from dairy production systems in the United States [PDF]
, 2015 Dairy production systems are hot spots of ammonia (NH3) emission. However, there remains large uncertainty in quantifying and mitigating NH3 emissions from dairy farms due to the lack of both long-term field measurements and reliable methods for ...

Multielement Filament Memristor Enabling Multifunctional Neuromorphic Device
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A new type of memristor featuring a hybrid mechanism and multifunctional applications is introduced. The proposed single device combines the alloy metal filament with the oxygen vacancy filament to achieve both resistive and threshold switching with enhanced reliability, mimicking both biological synapses and nociceptors. This study shows that filament‐

Changes in the Distribution of Income Volatility [PDF]
arXiv, 2008 Recent research has documented a significant rise in the volatility (e.g., expected squared change) of individual incomes in the U.S. since the 1970s. Existing measures of this trend abstract from individual heterogeneity, effectively estimating an increase in average volatility.
