Thirsty country: climate change and drought in Australia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
This report argues that climate change is likely making drought worse in the southeast and southwest of Australia, which are some of our most populous regions. Introduction Drought has deeply affected Australia throughout its history.

Effect Modification of Cigarette Smoking on the Relationship between Post‐traumatic Stress Disorder, Other Mental Health Conditions and Rheumatoid Arthritis Risk: A Large Case‐Control Study in U.S. Veterans

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objective We examined associations of post‐traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other mental health disorders (OMH) with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), accounting for effects of smoking. Methods We conducted a matched case‐control study, identifying incident RA cases and controls using national Veteran Health Administration data (2006‐2019).

Predictors of willingness to support and engage in nonviolent civil disobedience to defend the climate

open access: yesnpj Climate Action
Some climate activists use nonviolent civil disobedience (NVCD) to protest the slow pace of climate policy action. Civil disobedience theorists posit that building a critical mass of support for and participation in NVCD increases the likelihood of ...

Current Status and Challenges in Data Collection for Aerospace Coatings Deposited by Plasma Spraying

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
An innovative approach has been integrated into the GRENAT project to optimize plasma spraying and coating performance. Raw materials are accelerated and melted in the plasma generated by torches, creating coatings. Monitoring sensors collect process data which are combined with ex situ characterization data.

Inhibiting inositol transport disrupts metabolite profiles and mimics heat stress in a model cnidarian-Symbiodiniaceae symbiosis

open access: yesCommunications Biology
The nutrient exchange between corals and their symbiotic microalgae (Symbiodiniaceae) is vital for coral survival. Disruptions in this mutualistic relationship, often due to stress-induced dysbiosis, contribute significantly to coral mortality and reef ...

Self‐Cleaning Sensor Surfaces for Long‐Term Environmental Monitoring

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Long‐term use of unattended outdoor sensors without soiling or biofouling is achieved through generation of a micro‐ and nanorough cuvette surface by combing hydrophobic nanoparticles with fluorinated polymers, crosslinked and surface‐attached through CHic chemistry. The coating demonstrates self‐cleaning behavior and prolonged outdoor stability, which

CanCPLD: Convective Parameters and Lightning Data to Support Future Thunderstorm Projections in North America

open access: yesScientific Data
Thunderstorms cause natural hazards, including hail, floods, strong winds, and lightning. Simulating thunderstorms in climate models is challenging due to their small scale, the complexity of their physical drivers, and the need to parameterize subgrid ...

Gallium Microalloying in Bi–Sn Solders: Interfacial Phase Formation, Wettability, and Long‐Term Shear Reliability Under Isothermal Aging

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Gallium microalloying redirects interfacial reactions in low‐temperature Bi–Sn solders from Cu–Sn toward Cu–Ga intermetallic formation. The resulting Cu–Ga layer suppresses intermetallic growth during thermal aging, alters fracture pathways, and improves interfacial stability.
