Time-dependent Probabilistic Assessment of Rainfall-induced Slope Failure

open access: yes, 2016
A time-dependent stochastic model is developed for the study of slope stability under heavy rainfall, which accounts for the uncertain nature of rainfall events and the spatial variability of soil permeability. The developed model is employed to assess slope reliability under random rainfall events with subset simulation, which is efficient adaptive ...

‘ukbioprepr': an R package to support reproducible preparation of environmental data for biodiversity modelling in the UK

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Biodiversity modelling is essential for explaining and predicting ecological responses to environmental change and assessing progress towards targets in the Kunming‐Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (CBD 2022). The UK benefits from rich biodiversity time‐series data and numerous open‐source environmental datasets.

Data integration advances reproductive phenology research across temporal, spatial and taxonomic scales

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Climate change is altering plant reproductive phenology; however, a scarcity of long‐term, systematic monitoring hinders our ability to quantify and predict these responses in many parts of the world. We addressed this gap by demonstrating how data integration can be used to produce a synthesised record of reproductive phenology observations (flowering

No Charging but Protection: Lifetime Prolongation of Spontaneously‐polarized Electrets for Energy Harvesting Applications

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A bilayer protection approach is proposed for slowing down the surface potential decay of thin films of spontaneously‐polarized electret materials. The electret and the protective films are characterized, and the protection effectiveness is investigated under the effects of light illumination, water contact and mechanical impact.

Thermochromic Radiative Cooling Coatings with Robust Superhydrophobicity for Energy‐Efficient Buildings

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A scalable, color‐adaptive radiative cooling coating is developed to enable dynamic spectral regulation via a reversible thermochromic transition at ~45 °C and a high solar reflectance of 91.7%. The coating achieves 4.44 °C outdoor sub‐ambient cooling while providing robust superhydrophobicity and environmental durability through its micro/nano ...
