Koopman mode decomposition (KMD) is a technique of nonlinear time-series analysis capable of decomposing data on complex spatiotemporal dynamics into multiple modes oscillating with single frequencies, called the Koopman modes (KMs). We apply KMD to measurement data on oscillatory dynamics of a temperature field inside a room that is a complex phenomenon ubiquitous in our daily lives and has a clear technological motivation in energy-efficient air conditioning. To characterize not only the oscillatory field (scalar field) but also associated heat flux (vector field), we introduce the notion of a temperature gradient using the spatial gradient of a KM. By estimating the temperature gradient directly from data, we show that KMD is capable of extracting a distinct structure of the heat flux embedded in the oscillatory temperature field, relevant in terms of air conditioning.

Permafrost ground temperature and its spatial distribution are usually calculated using one-dimensional models based on heat flow in the vertical direction. Here, we theoretically calculated the impacts of lateral conductive heat flow on ground temperature under equilibrium and transient conditions. The results show that lateral heat flow has strong impacts on ground temperature, especially in deep ground.

Extending ferroelectric materials to two-dimensional limit provides versatile applications for the development of next-generation nonvolatile devices. Conventional ferroelectricity requires materials consisting of at least two constituent elements associated with polar crystalline structures. Monolayer graphene as an elementary two-dimensional material unlikely exhibits ferroelectric order due to its highly centrosymmetric hexagonal lattices.

The discovery of ferromagnetism in van der Waals (vdW) materials has enriched the understanding of two-dimensional (2D) magnetic orders and opened new avenues for fundamental physics research and next generation spintronics. However, achieving ferromagnetic order at room temperature, along with strong perpendicular magnetic anisotropy, remains a significant challenge. In this work, we report wafer-scale growth of vdW ferromagnet FeGaTe using molecular beam epitaxy.

Background: This study evaluated the prevalence of sick building syndrome (SBS) in Rasht, Iran, a subtropical climate with wetter cold season city, during the autumn and winter months of 2020, focusing on the effects of noise and ventilation.
Methods: A total of 420 residents completed the indoor air climate questionnaire (MM040EA), and a walk-through survey of 45 randomly selected residential units assessed environmental noise, ventilation rate, and luminous conditions.
Results: Approximately 38.

In the present study, we prepared Gum Acacia-cl-Acrylic acid-co-itaconic acid (GA-cl-AA-co-IA) hydrogels by free radical crosslink polymerization method for the efficient removal of Rhodamine-B (RhB) dye. The hydrogels were further characterized by different characterization techniques: Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Atomic force microscopy (AFM), Brunuer-Emmett-Teller (BET) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) to confirm synthesis. The synthesis parameters were optimized by swelling studies, which were performed by gravimetric analysis method.
