Predicting Australian energy demand variability using weather data and machine learning
Environmental Research LettersManaging energy systems requires understanding the variability of energy demand, which on daily timescales is driven primarily by the weather. Historical records of demand typically cover 1–2 decades which may be too short to capture the range of ...

A Comparative Study on Early‐Stage Icing Evaluation Techniques for Passive Ice Protection Systems
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.This study addresses the lack of standardized methodologies for evaluating the early‐stage icing performance of passive ice protection systems. A unified experimental protocol is proposed and applied to representative hydrophilic and hydrophobic surfaces under controlled conditions.

Projected changes in the frequency of climate extremes over southeast Australia
, 2021 Most studies evaluating future changes in climate extremes over Australia have examined events that occur once or more each year. However, it is extremes that occur less frequently than this that generally have the largest impacts on sectors such as ...

Extreme events in the context of climate change
Public Health Research & Practice, 2018 By definition, extreme events are rare. Socio-economic and human systems have not experienced adverse extreme events frequently enough to develop resilience, whether this be physical, economical or structural.

Anti‐Slip Material‐Based Strategies and Approaches
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.This review highlights the principle mechanisms of slipping at the microscale, linking contact mechanics with a friction behavior model for surface interfaces. Main strategies to develop anti‐slip properties to the surfaces are discussed alongside standardized testing approaches.
