Coastal upwelling along the southwest coast of India – ENSO modulation [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae, 2008
An index of El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) in the Pacific during pre monsoon season is shown to account for a significant part of the variability of coastal Sea Surface Temperature (SST) anomalies measured a few months later within the wind ...

High Fracture Toughness of 1D Copper‐Based MOP Electrode Enables Fast‐Charging Lithium‐Ion Batteries

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Traditional electrode materials suffer from particle cracking and rapid capacity fade during fast charging, largely originating from their low fracture toughness. This work introduces a one‐dimensional Cu‐based metal–organic polymer, in which strong π‐d conjugation and π–π stacking endow the framework with high fracture toughness, simultaneously ...

Impact Fatigue of Viscoelastic Materials Subjected to Pounding

Applied Sciences, 2018
The pounding tuned mass damper (PTMD) is a novel vibration control device that can be used for many different structures. The PTMD utilizes a viscoelastic delimiter to enhance its vibration control effectiveness and robustness though pounding between the

A Highly Hydrophilic Air Electrode With Water‐Induced Surface Reconstruction for Efficient Reversible Protonic Ceramic Cell at Low Water Partial Pressures

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
This work demonstrates a new strategy for reversible protonic ceramic cells (R‐PCCs). By developing highly hydrophilic oxides, efficient operation is achieved under low water vapor pressures while maintaining high performance and stability. This approach addresses the challenge of hydrogen production in freshwater‐scarce regions.

Food Prices and Inflation Expectations in New Zealand

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Food prices are conspicuous, and spending on food constitutes a considerable share of household expenditure. In this study, we use partially identified Bayesian structural vector autoregression models to analyze the effects of food price shocks on core inflation and 1‐ and 5‐year inflation expectations in New Zealand.

Numerical Investigation of Tsunami Wave Force Acting on Twin Box-Girder Bridges

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Earthquakes in coastal areas frequently trigger tsunami waves, posing significant threats to low-lying coastal bridges. Investigating extreme wave force on bridge deck is crucial for understanding bridge damage mechanisms.

Australian Practitioners' Beliefs, Confidence, and Training Needs for Delivering Behaviour Support to Children and Young People in Out‐of‐Home Care

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Children in out‐of‐home care (OOHC) frequently present with complex behavioural needs. In New South Wales (NSW), behaviour support plans (BSPs) are mandated when restrictive practices, including psychotropic medication, are used. Little research has examined whether the statutory workforce is adequately prepared to meet behaviour support ...

Guideline for Bridge Design Wind Speed in Coastal Region [PDF]

Journal of the Computational Structural Engineering Institute of Korea, 2015
Estimation of wind load on bridges is one of the most important aspects in designing bridges in coastal region. Various design codes and researches have suggested the procedure to estimate design wind speed; however, they do not match one another due to many reasons such as incomplete data set, ignorance of wind environment and so on.
