Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.The dielectric properties of clays are studied on the level of individual monolayers and functional double stacks. The material breakdown characteristics and charge storage performance are analyzed. For illustration, a defined charge pattern representing a cuneiform character is produced, written into a microscopic clay tile, referencing the origins of

Spatial distribution of surface forest fuel in the Slovak Republic
Journal of Maps, 2018 Forest fires represent a real danger not only for countries situated in the tropic and subtropic zones, but the fire danger is more and more actual also in moderate climate zones, particularly due to continuous climate change consequences.

A METHOD FOR MEASURING THE SENSITIVITY OF BUILDING STRUCTURAL MEMBERS TO FIRE DECAY PHASES
Acta Polytechnica, 2016 Firefighters face a major threat when intervening in a building during a fire: the possibility of structural collapse during the cooling phase of the fire, or soon thereafter.

How to coexist with fire ants: The roles of behaviour and cuticular compounds [PDF]
, 2013 tBecause territoriality is energetically costly, territorial animals frequently respond less aggressively toneighbours than to strangers, a reaction known as the “dear enemy phenomenon” (DEP).

Improving Fire Behaviour Data Obtained from Wildfires
, 2018 Organisations that manage wildfires are expected to deliver scientifically defensible decisions. However, the limited availability of high quality data restricts the rate at which research can advance.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This review explores functional and responsive materials for triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) in sustainable smart agriculture. It examines how particulate contamination and dirt affect charge transfer and efficiency. Environmental challenges and strategies to enhance durability and responsiveness are outlined, including active functional layers ...
