Nanoplasmonic waveguides utilizing surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) propagation have been investigated for more than 15 years and are now well understood.Many researchers make their efforts to find the best ways of using light and overcoming the speed limit of integrated circuits by means of SPPs.Here, we introduce the simulation results and fabri
The regular inspection of underground facilities such as pipelines is absolutely essential.Pipeline leakage caused by corrosion and deformation must be detected in time, otherwise, it may cause fatal disasters for human beings.In our previous research, a robot chain system (RCS) based on visible light relay communication (VLRC) for pipe inspection
Social rank functions to facilitate coping responses to socially stressful situations and conditions.The evolution of social status appears to be inseparably connected to the evolution of stress.Stress, aggression, reward, and decision-making neurocircuitries overlap and interact to produce status-linked relationships, which are common among both m
The U.S.Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) provides databases that agglomerate data provided by companies or states reporting emissions, releases, wastes generated, and other activities to meet statutory requirements.These databases, often referred to as inventories, can be used for a wide variety of environmental reporting and modeling purpos
