No aliens allowed: A narrative analysis of the blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) in the Lagoon of Venice (Northern Adriatic, Italy)

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract This study critically analyses the main narratives surrounding the Atlantic blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) in the Lagoon of Venice. We used a mixed‐method approach, performing a qualitative discourse analysis on a sample of 68 textual sources to identify the narratives across two sectors in the management of the case study: media and politics,

Computer program for the attenuation of high bypass turbofan engine noise [PDF]

open access: yes, 1975
Two computer programs determine effect of boundary layer on attenuation of sound in a circular duct lined with material used in noise suppresion in fan inlet and exhaust ducts of turbofan ...

Assessing the role of urban blue space in summer outdoor thermal regulation in northwestern Europe: A hectometric Weather Research and Forecasting modelling on idealized urban landscape

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Using hectometric Weather Research and Forecasting simulations, we examine how urban blue spaces mitigate extreme summer heat in northwestern European cities through neighbourhood‐scale cooling mechanisms. Results show horizontal advection dominates cooling by mixing cooler air from waterbodies with warmer urban air, providing ∼50W·m−2$$ \sim 50\kern0 ...

Effects of Rising Temperature on Microwave Communications in Ducting Environment over the Southern Region of Pakistan in the Northern Arabian Sea

open access: yesSir Syed University Research Journal of Engineering and Technology, 2020
The propagation of microwave (MW) of frequencies above 300 MHz is affected by the existence and properties of the atmospheric duct. Atmospheric ducts exist in many areas of the world ocean, including the Arabian Sea.

Atmospheric refractivity estimation from AIS signal power using the quantum-behaved particle swarm optimization algorithm

open access: yesOpen Geosciences, 2019
This paper proposes a new refractivity profile estimation method based on the use of AIS signal power and quantum-behaved particle swarm optimization (QPSO) algorithm to solve the inverse problem.

Extended Strahler Ordering to Distinguish Mapped River Channels From Overland Flow Pathways and Consistently Compare Digital Networks

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Digital networks are virtual representations of freshwater systems that provide important inputs to, and mapping of, river classifications, simulation models, and quantitative data analyses for policy, planning, and management. Strahler order has often been used to characterize network configuration and as a proxy indicator of river channel ...

Further development of the dynamic gas temperature measurement system [PDF]

open access: yes
Two experiments for verifying the frequency response of a previously-developed dynamic gas temperature measurement system were performed. In both experiments, fine-wire resistance temperature sensors were used as standards.

Inter‐Crystal Spacing of Implantable Polymeric Surfaces as a Key Suppressor of Microbial Adhesion.

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Biofilm formation on implantable devices is addressed by controlling inter‐crystal spacing in shape memory polymers. Repeated shape recovery aligns and enlarges crystalline phases and reduces amorphous regions, enhancing bacterial repellency. Three biofilm‐forming bacteria show reduced adhesion, and a one‐year dog bile‐duct model maintains function ...

Technical note: formation of airborne ice crystals in a wall independent reactor (WIR) under atmospheric conditions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Both, gas and particle scavenging contribute to the transport of organic compounds by ice crystals in the troposphere. To simulate these processes an experimental setup was developed to form airborne ice crystals under atmospheric conditions. Experiments
