Classification of Climate-Driven Geomorphic Provinces Using Supervised Machine Learning Methods
Applied SciencesPhysical and chemical processes related to global and regional climate changes are important factors in shaping the Earth’s surface. These processes form various erosion and deposition landforms on the Earth’s surface. These landforms reflect the traces of past and present climate conditions.

Tailoring the Properties of Functional Materials With N‐Oxides
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.The properties of materials bearing N‐oxide groups are often dominated by the polar N+─O− bond. It provides hydrophilicity, selective ion‐binding, electric conductivity, or antifouling properties. Many of the underlying mechanisms have only recently been discovered, and the interest in N‐oxide materials is rapidly growing.

Does residence time affect responses of alien species richness to environmental and spatial processes? [PDF]
, 2012 One of the most robust emerging generalisations in invasion biology is that the probability of invasion increases with the time since introduction (residence time). We analysed the spatial distribution of alien vascular plant species in a region of north-
