Electronic spin transition in FeO2: Evidence for Fe(II) with peroxide O-2(2-)
The discovery of FeO2 containing more oxygen than hematite (Fe2O3), which was previously believed to be the most oxygen rich iron compound, has important implications for the study of deep lower mantle compositions. Compared to other iron compounds, there are limited reports on FeO2, making studies of its physical properties of great interest in fu...
Enhanced aeration of part-baked bread using a novel combination of baking and partial vacuum
An experimental approach to partial baking of dough rolls at low temperature (
Cold and dry outbreaks in the eastern Mediterranean 3200 years ago
Can climate affect societies? This question, of both past and present importance, is encapsulated by the major socioeconomic crisis that affected the Mediterranean 3200 yr ago. The demise of the core civilizations of the Aegean and eastern Mediterranean during the Late Bronze Age and the early Iron Age (Dark Ages) is still controversial because it ...
A Robust Model Coupling Subsidence with Salt Dissolution
Published in Mine Water and the Environment
A robust 3D model of subsidence coupled with channeling into salt formations was developed. Its architecture allows easy implementation of empirical phenomenological laws regarding channel formation and subsidence within a formation. The model can be used to perform fast and adapted-to-complexity computations where data are sparse in time and space...
Ductility demands of tall buildings subjected to base rocking induced by Rayleigh waves
Performance-based earthquake engineering requires accurate estimation of structural response associated with different damage states because of strong ground motion. In recent work (Meza-Fajardo and Papageorgiou, 2018, EESD), we demonstrated that a significant contribution to the response of elastic soil-structure systems for high-rise buildings is...

The ‘panel analysis’ technique in the computational study of axisymmetric thin-walled shell systems
Thin-walled shells of revolution under circumferentially uniform pre-buckling stress states are important fundamental systems, often serving as reference ‘base cases’ to which the behaviour of more complex unsymmetrical systems can be related. However, the same simplicity that often permits closed-form algebraic expressions for the critical bucklin...
Subcooled water quenching on a super-hydrophilic surface under atmospheric pressure
The goal of this work is (i) to evaluate the cooling rate on a super-hydrophilic surface as a function of the subcooled degree Delta T-sub of the liquid coolant, (ii) to analyze the contact heat transfer q ''(c) of the liquid-solid contact, and (iii) to investigate the mechanism of microbubble emission boiling (MEB). We fabricated a super-hydrophil...
