Surface plasmons (SPs) are coherent oscillations of conduction electrons on a metal surface
excited by electromagnetic radiation at a metal-dielectric interface. The growing field of …

This paper develops a generalized regime-switching (GRS) model of the short-term interest
rate. The model allows the short rate to exhibit both mean reversion and conditional …

We present a tree‐ring based reconstruction of the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO)
which demonstrates that strong, low‐frequency (60–100 yr) variability in basin‐wide (0–70N) …

Membrane distillation is a process that utilizes differences in vapor pressure to permeate
water through a macro-porous membrane and reject other non-volatile constituents present in …

The nucleation and growth of inorganic scale on membrane surfaces is a problem shared
by operators of reverse osmosis systems. While suite of indicators exists to predict scale …

This review focuses on the development of polyamide (PA) thin film nanocomposite (TFN)
membranes for various aqueous media-based separation processes such as nanofiltration, …

Extensive 3-D finite-difference time-domain simulations are carried out to elucidate the
nature of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) and localized surface plasmon polaritons (LSPs) …

Climate change in the coming centuries will be characterized by interannual, decadal, and
multidecadal fluctuations superimposed on anthropogenic trends. Predicting ecological and …

Aspects of topology and geometry are used in analyzing continuous and discrete binary
images in two dimensions. Several numerical properties of these images are derived which are …

Background. In 1999, meningococcal serogroup C conjugate (MCC) vaccines were introduced
in the United Kingdom for those under 19 years of age. The impact of this intervention on …
