The sweet spot of forward osmosis: Treatment of produced water, drilling wastewater, and other complex and difficult liquid streams

…, P Xu, EG Beaudry, J Herron, K Lampi, NT Hancock… - Desalination, 2014 - Elsevier
Global water scarcity and substantial challenges associated with treatment of complex and
impaired liquid streams have advanced the development of forward osmosis (FO), which can …

Applied machine vision of plants: a review with implications for field deployment in automated farming operations

CL McCarthy, NH Hancock, SR Raine - Intelligent Service Robotics, 2010 - Springer
Automated visual assessment of plant condition, specifically foliage wilting, reflectance and
growth parameters, using machine vision has potential use as input for real-time variable-…

Measurements of the meson-photon transition form factors of light pseudoscalar mesons at large momentum transfer

…, R Davis, N Hancock, S Kotov, I Kravchenko, N Kwak… - Physical Review D, 1998 - APS
Using the CLEO II detector, we have measured the differential cross sections for exclusive
two-photon production of light pseudoscalar mesons π 0, η, and η′. From our measurements …

Evidence for penguin-diagram decays: First observation of B(892)γ

…, N Copty, R Davis, N Hancock, M Kelly, N Kwak… - Physical Review Letters, 1993 - APS
We have observed the decays B 0→ K*(892) 0 γ and B−→ K*(892)− γ, which are evidence
for the quark-level process b→ sγ. The average branching fraction is (4.5±1.5±0.9)× 10− 5. …

Survey of spiking in the mouse visual system reveals functional hierarchy

…, J Galbraith, M Garrett, EC Gelfand, N Hancock… - Nature, 2021 - nature.com
The anatomy of the mammalian visual system, from the retina to the neocortex, is organized
hierarchically 1 . However, direct observation of cellular-level functional interactions across …

Search for exclusive charmless hadronic B decays

…, D Besson, D Coppage, N Copty, R Davis, N Hancock… - Physical Review D, 1996 - APS
We have searched for two-body charmless hadronic decays of B mesons. Final states include
ππ, Kπ, and KK with both charged and neutral kaons and pions: πρ, Kρ, and K* π; and Kφ, …

Solute coupled diffusion in osmotically driven membrane processes

NT Hancock, TY Cath - Environmental science & technology, 2009 - ACS Publications
Forward osmosis (FO) is an emerging water treatment technology with potential applications
in desalination and wastewater reclamation. In FO, water is extracted from a feed solution …
