The result in the first 19 years of the nova WZ Sagittae cycle is global warming that is hemi-spherically dependent and is detectable in South America ice core data and Antarctica surface mass balance data. Planetary thermal data are correlated in the past by calculating the debris impact times from the super outbursts times of nova WZ Sagittae. The shape of the arctic ice cap is dependent on the 220 degree path of the debris and does not exist southward between the western extension and eastern termini of nova WZ Sagittae that define the Arctic heating path. Future global heating from nova WZ Sagittae will begin in 2020-2021. The increase of 6 to 8 magnitude unusual earthquakes in recent years is the results of nova WZ Sagittae and SN 1054 debris impact. Unusual occurrences in the biosphere indicate the starting time of impacting supernova debris streams. The Antarctic sea ice distribution in November of 2016 defines the termini of maximum particle concentration impact from supernova 1006 in the southern hemisphere. The killing heat in India of the northern hemisphere is associated with the western terminus of this supernova. Novas and supernovas times of impact correlate with plague outbreaks in the western USA marking the particles in the debris streams as the cause of the disease.展开更多

In this article, a flexible thermal ground plane (FTGP) was fabricated using poly- mer materials. Kapton was employed as a casing material while micropatterned SU-8 was used to provide both a liquid wicking structure and pillars to support the casing over a vapor core. An ultra-thin TiO2 film was deposited over the SU-8 and Kapton via atomic layer deposition, which acted as both a moisture barrier and a hydrophilic coating on polymer surfaces. The assembled FTGP has a thickness of 0.30 mm, an active area of 20 mm~ 60 mm, heater area of 20 mm x 10 ram, and can operate with a heat load up to 9.54 W, with an effective thermal con- ductivity up to 541 W/(m K).展开更多

X-ray diffraction pro- files show the room-temperature epitaxial V2O3 films orient in the [ 110] direction on α-Al2O3 (0001) substrates. Atomic force microscopy measurements reveal that the ultra-smooth surfaces with root-mean-square surface roughness of 0.11 nm and 0.28 nm for 10-nm-thick and 35-nm-thick V2O3 film, respectively. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results indicate the V3+ oxida- tion state in the films. Typical metal-insulator transition is observed in films at about 135 K. The resistivities at 300 K are ap- proximately 0.8 mΩ cm and 0.5 mΩ cm for 10-rim-thick and 35-nm-thick V203 film, respectively.展开更多
