Adapting to climate change: the self-learning dike [PDF]
, 2007 A problem with the current probabilistic flood prevention strategy in the Netherlands is that it builds on knowledge about the probability distributions for extreme discharges, which are subject to considerable uncertainties due to limited peak discharge

Microwave‐Assisted Aqueous Synthesis of Gelatin‐Norbornene for Hydrogel Crosslinking and Bioprinting
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.A microwave‐assisted reaction is utilized to synthesize gelatin‐norbornene (GelNB), achieving a high degree of norbornene functionalization while reducing the macromer's upper critical solution temperature. The resulting GelNB macromer has high solubility at room temperature, facilitating light‐based 3‐dimensional (3D) printing of thiol‐norbornene ...

Versatile Gasochromic Hydrogen Detection via Supraparticle‐Based Applied Composite Materials
Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.Silica‐platinum‐resazurin supraparticles are embedded into PMMA to form suprabeads and thin films. The thereby obtained indicators change color from purple to pink to colorless on hydrogen exposure. The indicator systems are tested under various environmental conditions, and their performance is related to their microscopically visualized structure ...

Multidirectional Motion Strategy of Miniature Water Surface Robot Actuated by Single Exciter
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.A novel multidirectional motion strategy on the water surface based on a single exciter is proposed, and a single‐exciter single‐plate module is developed for actuation. The driving forces generation mechanism of the module is revealed from the perspective of the asymmetric surface wave field.
