In this era of rapid technological advances, these applications have become one of the primary tools we use daily both in our personal and professional lives. The applications play key roles in facilitating many applications that are pivotal in our today's society including communication, education, business, entertainment, medical, finance, travel, utilities, social, and transportation. This paper reviewed the opportunities and challenges of the applications related to transportation. The opportunities revealed include route planning, ridesharing/carpooling, traffic safety, parking information, transportation data collection, fuel emissions and consumption, and travel information. The potential users of these applications in the field of transportation include (I) transportation agencies for travel data collection, travel information, ridesharing/carpooling, and traffic safety, (2) engineering students for field data collection such as travel speed, travel time, and vehicle count, and (3) general traveling public for route planning, ridesharing/carpooling, parking, traffic safety, and travel information. Significant usage of smart mobile applications can be potentially very beneficial, particularly in automobile travel mode to reduce travel time, cost, and vehicle emissions. In the end this would make travel safer and living environments greener and healthier. However, road users' interactions with these applications could manually, visually, and cognitively divert their attention from the primary task of driving or walking. Distracted road users expose themselves and others to unsafe behavior than undistracted. Road safety education and awareness programs are vital to discourage the use of applications that stimulate unsafe driving/walking behaviors. Educating the traveling public about the dangers of unsafe driving/walking behavior could have significant safety benefits to all road users. Future research needs to compare accuracies of the applications and provide guidelines for selecting them for certain transportation related applications.展开更多

After being released into natural waters, the dispersity and stability of GO might be altered by the chemical conditions in the receiving water bodies. In this review, we summarized that the aggregation of GO in aquatic environments is mostly dependent on properties of nanoparticles(size,structure, and functional groups) and complex water chemistry(p H, temperature, light, ionic strength,and dissolved organic matter). The knowledge about the aggregation/stability of GO is still insufficient due to the variations in GO properties and complex system of natural waters. Although studies about environmental transformation of graphene-related materials can be accessed but a systematic study taking into consideration the various factors of GO and aquatic systems responsible for aggregation of GO is still lacking. Therefore, we summarized that GO homoaggregation or heteroaggregation with other solid particles can affect the distribution in different depths of rivers and toxicity toward plankton or benthic organisms. More studies are needed to investigate the stability of GO in the long term, the effect of other nanomaterial on GO aggregation, the alteration of water constituents at different regions/time and its effect on GO aggregation, to understand the transportation and impact of GO in the environment.展开更多

Herein, we report the thickness and temperature dependent transport properties of ZrS2 multilayers that were directly deposited on hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) by chemical vapor deposition. Hysteresis-free gate sweeping, metal- insulator transition, and T-γ (γ- 0.82-1.26) temperature dependent mobility were observed in the ZrS2 films.展开更多

This study reports on the size- and defect-dependent scaling laws governing the transport gap, and the mean free path and carrier mobility in the PNRs of interest for future nanoelectronics applications. Our results indicate that PNRs with armchair edges (aPNRs) are more immune to defects than zig-zag PNRs (zPNRs), while both PNR types exhibit superior immunity to defects relative to graphene nanoribbons (GNRs). An investigation of the mean free path demonstrated that even in the case of a low defect density the transport in PNRs is diffusive, and the carrier mobility remains a meaningful transport parameter even in ultra-small PNRs. We found that the electron-hole mobility asymmetry (present in large-area phosphorene) is retained only in zPNRs for W 〉 4 nrn, while in other cases the asymmetry is smoothed out by edge defect scattering. Furthermore, we showed that aPNRs outperform both zPNRs and GNRs in terms of carrier mobility, and that PNRs generally offer a superior mobility-bandgap trade-off, relative to GNRs and monolayer MoS2. This work identifies PNRs as a promising material for the extremely scaled transistor channels in future posbsilicon electronic technology, and presents a persuasive argument for experimental work on nanostructured phosphorene.展开更多
