Title: Testing Darwin's naturalization hypothesis in the Azores
Abstract: Invasive species are a threat for ecosystems worldwide, especially oceanic islands. Predicting the invasive potential of introduced species remains difficult, and only a few studies have found traits correlated to invasiveness. We produced a molecular phylogenetic dataset and an ecological trait database for the entire Azorean flora and find that the phylogenetic nearest neighbour distance (PNND), a measure of evolutionary relatedness, is significantly correlated with invasiveness. We show that introduced plant species are more likely to become invasive in the absence of closely related species in the native flora of the Azores, verifying Darwin's 'naturalization hypothesis'. In addition, we find that some ecological traits (especially life form and seed size) also have predictive power on invasive success in the Azores. Therefore, we suggest a combination of PNND with ecological trait values as a universal predictor of invasiveness that takes into account characteristics of both introduced species and receiving ecosystem.

Title: A Reliable Liquid-Based CMOS MEMS Micro Thermal Convective Accelerometer With Enhanced Sensitivity and Limit of Detection
Abstract: In this paper, a liquid-based micro thermal convective accelerometer (MTCA) is optimized by the Rayleigh number (<italic>Ra</italic>) based compact model and fabricated using the <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$0.35\mu $ </tex-math></inline-formula> m CMOS MEMS technology. To achieve water-proof performance, the conformal Parylene C coating was adopted as the isolation layer with the accelerated life-testing results of a 9-year-lifetime for liquid-based MTCA. Then, the device performance was characterized considering sensitivity, response time, and noise. Both the theoretical and experimental results demonstrated that fluid with a larger <italic>Ra</italic> number can provide better performance for the MTCA. More significantly, <italic>Ra</italic> based model showed its advantage to make a more accurate prediction than the simple linear model to select suitable fluid to enhance the sensitivity and balance the linear range of the device. Accordingly, an alcohol-based MTCA was achieved with a two-order-of magnitude increase in sensitivity (43.8 mV/g) and one-order-of-magnitude decrease in the limit of detection (LOD) (<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$61.9~\mu \text{g}$ </tex-math></inline-formula>) compared with the air-based MTCA.

Title: Solar blind deep ultraviolet β-Ga2O3 photodetectors grown on sapphire by the Mist-CVD method
Abstract: In this report, we demonstrate high spectral responsivity (SR) solar blind deep ultraviolet (UV) β-Ga2O3 metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) photodetectors grown by the mist chemical-vapor deposition (Mist-CVD) method. The β-Ga2O3 thin film was grown on c-plane sapphire substrates, and the fabricated MSM PDs with Al contacts in an interdigitated geometry were found to exhibit peak SR>150A/W for the incident light wavelength of 254 nm at a bias of 20 V. The devices exhibited very low dark current, about 14 pA at 20 V, and showed sharp transients with a photo-to-dark current ratio>105. The corresponding external quantum efficiency is over 7 × 104%. The excellent deep UV β-Ga2O3 photodetectors will enable significant advancements for the next-generation photodetection applications.

Title: Effects of surface roughness on electromagnetic characteristics of capacitive switches
Abstract: This paper studies the effect of surface roughness on up-state and down-state capacitances of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) capacitive switches. When the root-mean-square (RMS) roughness is 10 nm, the up-state capacitance is approximately 9% higher than the theoretical value. When the metal bridge is driven down, the normalized contact area between the metal bridge and the surface of the dielectric layer is less than 1% if the RMS roughness is larger than 2 nm. Therefore, the down-state capacitance is actually determined by the non-contact part of the metal bridge. The normalized isolation is only 62% for RMS roughness of 10 nm when the hold-down voltage is 30 V. The analysis also shows that the down-state capacitance and the isolation increase with the hold-down voltage. The normalized isolation increases from 58% to 65% when the hold-down voltage increases from 10 V to 60 V for RMS roughness of 10 nm.

Title: Performance Investigation of an n-Type Tin-Oxide Thin Film Transistor by Channel Plasma Processing
Abstract: In this paper, we investigated the performance of an n-type tin-oxide (SnOx) thin film transistor (TFT) by experiments and simulation. The fabricated SnOx TFT device by oxygen plasma treatment on the channel exhibited n-type conduction with an on/off current ratio of 4.4x104, a high field-effect mobility of 18.5 cm2/V.s and a threshold swing of 405 mV/decade, which could be attributed to the excess reacted oxygen incorporated to the channel to form the oxygen-rich n-type SnOx. Furthermore, a TCAD simulation based on the n-type SnOx TFT device was performed by fitting the experimental data to investigate the effect of the channel traps on the device performance, indicating that performance enhancements were further achieved by suppressing the density of channel traps. In addition, the n-type SnOx TFT device exhibited high stability upon illumination with visible light. The results show that the n-type SnOx TFT device by channel plasma processing has considerable potential for next-generation high-performance display application.

Title: Preparation of highly c-axis oriented AlN thin films on Hastelloy tapes with Y2O3 buffer layer for flexible SAW sensor applications
Abstract: Highly c-axis oriented aluminum nitrade (AlN) films were successfully deposited on flexible Hastelloy tapes by middle-frequency magnetron sputtering. The microstructure and piezoelectric properties of the AlN films were investigated. The results show that the AlN films deposited directly on the bare Hastelloy substrate have rough surface with root mean square (RMS) roughness of 32.43nm and its full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the AlN (0002) peak is 12.5∘. However, the AlN films deposited on the Hastelloy substrate with Y2O3 buffer layer show smooth surface with RMS roughness of 5.46nm and its FWHM of the AlN (0002) peak is only 3.7∘. The piezoelectric coefficient d33 of the AlN films deposited on the Y2O3/Hastelloy substrate is larger than three times that of the AlN films deposited on the bare Hastelloy substrate. The prepared highly c-axis oriented AlN films can be used to develop high-temperature flexible SAW sensors.

Title: Theoretical Modeling, Numerical Simulations and Experimental Study of Micro Thermal Convective Accelerometers
Abstract: We present a one-dimensional (1D) theoretical model for the design analysis of a micro thermal convective accelerometer (MTCA). Systematical design analysis was conducted on the sensor performance covering the sensor output, sensitivity, and power consumption. The sensor output was further normalized as a function of normalized input acceleration in terms of Rayleigh number <italic>R</italic><inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$_{\mathrm {a}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> (the product of Grashof number <italic>G</italic><inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$_{\mathrm {r}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> and Prandtl number <italic>P</italic><inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$_{\mathrm {r}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula>) for different fluids. A critical Rayleigh number (<italic>R</italic>a<sub>c</sub> = 3,000) is founded, for the first time, to determine the boundary between the linear and nonlinear response regime of MTCA. Based on the proposed 1D model, key parameters, including the location of the detectors, sensor length, thin film thickness, cavity height, heater temperature, and fluid types, were optimized to improve sensor performance. Accordingly, a CMOS compatible MTCA was designed and fabricated based on the theoretical analysis, which showed a high sensitivity of 1,289 mV/g. Therefore, this efficient 1D model, one million times faster than CFD simulation, can be a promising tool for the system-level CMOS MEMS design.

Title: The ACCESS coupled model: description, control climate and evaluation
Abstract: 4OASIS3.2–5 coupling framework. The primary goal of the ACCESS-CM development is to provide the Australian climate community with a new generation fully coupled climate model for climate research, and to participate in phase five of the Coupled Model Inter-comparison Project (CMIP5). This paper describes the ACCESS-CM framework and components, and presents the control climates from two versions of the ACCESS-CM, ACCESS1.0 and ACCESS1.3, together with some fields from the 20 th century historical experiments, as part of model evaluation. While sharing the same ocean sea-ice model (except different setups for a few parameters), ACCESS1.0 and ACCESS1.3 differ from each other in their atmospheric and land surface components: the former is configured with the UK Met Office HadGEM2 (r1.1) atmospheric physics and the Met Office Surface Exchange Scheme land surface model version 2, and the latter with atmospheric physics similar to the UK Met Office Global Atmosphere 1.0 includ ing modifications performed at CAWCR and the CSIRO Community Atmosphere Biosphere Land Exchange land surface model version 1.8. The global average annual mean surface air temperature across the 500-year preindustrial control integrations show a warming drift of 0.35 °C in ACCESS1.0 and 0.04 °C in ACCESS1.3. The overall skills of ACCESS-CM in simulating a set of key climatic fields both globally and over Australia significantly surpass those from the preceding CSIRO Mk3.5 model delivered to the previous coupled model inter-comparison. However, ACCESS-CM, like other CMIP5 models, has deficiencies in various as pects, and these are also discussed.

Title: The Norwegian Earth System Model, NorESM1-M – Part 1: Description and basic evaluation of the physical climate
Abstract: Abstract. The core version of the Norwegian Climate Center's Earth System Model, named NorESM1-M, is presented. The NorESM family of models are based on the Community Climate System Model version 4 (CCSM4) of the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research, but differs from the latter by, in particular, an isopycnic coordinate ocean model and advanced chemistry–aerosol–cloud–radiation interaction schemes. NorESM1-M has a horizontal resolution of approximately 2° for the atmosphere and land components and 1° for the ocean and ice components. NorESM is also available in a lower resolution version (NorESM1-L) and a version that includes prognostic biogeochemical cycling (NorESM1-ME). The latter two model configurations are not part of this paper. Here, a first-order assessment of the model stability, the mean model state and the internal variability based on the model experiments made available to CMIP5 are presented. Further analysis of the model performance is provided in an accompanying paper (Iversen et al., 2013), presenting the corresponding climate response and scenario projections made with NorESM1-M.

Title: An Overview of CMIP5 and the Experiment Design
Abstract: The fifth phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) will produce a state-of-the- art multimodel dataset designed to advance our knowledge of climate variability and climate change. Researchers worldwide are analyzing the model output and will produce results likely to underlie the forthcoming Fifth Assessment Report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Unprecedented in scale and attracting interest from all major climate modeling groups, CMIP5 includes “long term” simulations of twentieth-century climate and projections for the twenty-first century and beyond. Conventional atmosphere–ocean global climate models and Earth system models of intermediate complexity are for the first time being joined by more recently developed Earth system models under an experiment design that allows both types of models to be compared to observations on an equal footing. Besides the longterm experiments, CMIP5 calls for an entirely new suite of “near term” simulations focusing on recent decades...

Title: Wind extremes in the North Sea Basin under climate change: An ensemble study of 12 CMIP5 GCMs: WIND EXTREMES IN THE NORTH SEA IN CMIP5
Abstract: Coastal safety may be influenced by climate change, as changes in extreme surge levels and wave extremes may increase the vulnerability of dunes and other coastal defenses. In the North Sea, an area already prone to severe flooding, these high surge levels and waves are generated by low atmospheric pressure and severe wind speeds during storm events. As a result of the geometry of the North Sea, not only the maximum wind speed is relevant, but also wind direction. Climate change could change maximum wind conditions, with potentially negative effects for coastal safety. Here, we use an ensemble of 12 Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) General Circulation Models (GCMs) and diagnose the effect of two climate scenarios (rcp4.5 and rcp8.5) on annual maximum wind speed, wind speeds with lower return frequencies, and the direction of these annual maximum wind speeds. The 12 selected CMIP5 models do not project changes in annual maximum wind speed and in wind speeds with lower return frequencies; however, we do find an indication that the annual extreme wind events are coming more often from western directions. Our results are in line with the studies based on CMIP3 models and do not confirm the statement based on some reanalysis studies that there is a climate‐change‐related upward trend in storminess in the North Sea area.

Title: Development and evaluation of an Earth-System model – HadGEM2
Abstract: Abstract. We describe here the development and evaluation of an Earth system model suitable for centennial-scale climate prediction. The principal new components added to the physical climate model are the terrestrial and ocean ecosystems and gas-phase tropospheric chemistry, along with their coupled interactions. The individual Earth system components are described briefly and the relevant interactions between the components are explained. Because the multiple interactions could lead to unstable feedbacks, we go through a careful process of model spin up to ensure that all components are stable and the interactions balanced. This spun-up configuration is evaluated against observed data for the Earth system components and is generally found to perform very satisfactorily. The reason for the evaluation phase is that the model is to be used for the core climate simulations carried out by the Met Office Hadley Centre for the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5), so it is essential that addition of the extra complexity does not detract substantially from its climate performance. Localised changes in some specific meteorological variables can be identified, but the impacts on the overall simulation of present day climate are slight. This model is proving valuable both for climate predictions, and for investigating the strengths of biogeochemical feedbacks.
