Measuring Ocean Surface Waves

Abstract Propagating waves on the ocean surface can be represented as a stochastic process whose statistics are characterized by a spectrum. This paper reviews methods for measuring the wave spectrum and related quantities. Observations begin by sensing fluid dynamical properties...

Tunable Oxygen Connectivity in Carbaporphyrinoid Polymers on Metal Surfaces

ABSTRACT Controlling oxygen‐mediated connectivity at metal surfaces offers a powerful route to engineer covalent and metal–organic architectures with atomic precision. Here, we demonstrate tunable oxygen‐based connectivity in carbaporphyrinoid polymers on Au(111) under ultrahigh...

Does an Unconventional Source with a High Silica Content (Obsidian) or a High Alumina Content (Bauxite) Affect the Type of Potassium Zeolite Formation? Preliminary Data on Synthetic Products’ Efficiency in Ammonium Removal

In this paper, obsidian (OS) and bauxite (BX) are used to synthesize zeolites via KOH prefusion, followed by a conventional hydrothermal process (HY) or an unconventional vapor-phase crystallization method (VPC) at 90 °C. The results indicate that, due to their chemical and miner...
