Polymer Composites, EarlyView.Effect of resin on friction performance and particle emissions in vehicle polymer brake pads composites. ABSTRACT Brake emissions that occur during braking in disc brakes cause significant environmental pollution, and the measurement of particulate matter (PM) emissions resulting from braking has gained importance in recent years.

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Maize plays a key role in agricultural profitability and food security on six continents. Successful efforts to breed higher‐yielding maize varieties depend on replicated yield trials in many environments. Capturing in‐season data can help improve and accelerate the development of regionally adapted hybrids, but collecting these data can be impractical

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are increasingly used for plant protection treatments. We describe the corresponding Swiss regulatory framework. We also summarize practical experiences gained from technical assessments performed within this framework, field use patterns and the results of field efficacy trials.

physica status solidi (a), EarlyView.In this review, sputter epitaxy is highlighted as a key technique for growing transition metal nitrides such as NbN and ScAlN. By integrating these materials with nitride semiconductors, hybrid devices showing both superconducting and ferroelectric properties can be realized.

Anticlastic Curvature and Material Freedom
physica status solidi (b), EarlyView.Anticlastic curvature occurs in bent bars for positive Poisson's ratio; synclastic curvature occurs for negative Poisson's ratio provided the material is homogeneous and elastic. Some planar negative Poisson's ratio materials exhibit anticlastic saddle curvature rather than convex curvature in bending due to effects of 3D structure.

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.Topography of the outer and inner (black line) domains of the simulation (the blue box indicates the region where the probability density functions for Leaf Area Index and wind, temperature and humidity at 2 m above ground are computed). The most common land cover type is also shown over this region for the 3 models to illustrate the differences in ...

Spatial and temporal structure of the fog life cycle over Atlantic Canada and the Grand Banks
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.The relationship between fog occurrence and atmospheric and ocean surface conditions is explored from a 71‐year climatological analysis covering a broad range of spatial and temporal scales of marine fog over Atlantic Canada and the Grand Banks of Newfoundland, Canada. We find that the ocean surface plays a key role as a necessary boundary condition in

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.This study evaluates the impact of the first of NOAA's latest generation of Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES‐16) to aid in predicting the onset of tropical cyclone intensification. By running forecast experiments for every named Atlantic hurricane in 2017, we found that use of the geostationary satellite information reduced ...

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.Differential reflectivity columns (ZDRC$$ {Z}_{\mathrm{DR}}C $$) have been detected automatically on a composite of radar data derived from five operational C‐band dual‐polarization Doppler weather radars in Switzerland. The characteristics of the detected ZDRC$$ {Z}_{\mathrm{DR}}C $$ are linked to a large sample of 173,000 crowdsourced hail ...
