Influence of solar forcing, climate variability and modes of low-frequency atmospheric variability on summer floods in Switzerland [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2015 The higher frequency of severe flood events in Switzerland in recent decades has given fresh impetus to the study of flood patterns and their possible forcing mechanisms, particularly in mountain environments.

Evaluation of various distributions for flood frequency analysis [PDF]
Hydrological Sciences Journal, 1993 Abstract A statistical model comprising nine different probability distributions used especially for flood frequency analysis was applied to annual flood peak series with at least 30 observations for 11 unregulated streams in the Rhine Basin in Germany and two streams in Scotland.

POM‐Based Water Splitting Catalyst Under Acid Conditions Driven by Its Assembly on Carbon Nanotubes
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.A newly‐engineered POM‐based electrocatalyst incorporating non‐innocent counter cations exhibits fast kinetics for either the OER or HER under strongly acidic conditions (1 m H2SO4), depending on whether it is assembled on carbon nanotubes (1@CNT) or physically mixed with them (1/CNT). In water‐splitting tests using a two‐electrode setup, these systems

Escaping the Scaling Relationships in Oxygen Reduction Catalysis: Implications for PEM Fuel Cells
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Escaping the scaling relationships of the oxygen reduction reaction is vital for hydrogen fuel cells. This outlook examines how interfacial heterogeneity, spanning the subsurface lattice, chemisorption layer, and near‐interface solvation volume, mechanistically decouples intermediate binding energetics.

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This review examines passive, active, and hybrid liquid manipulation strategies, highlighting hybrid approaches as an emerging route to reconcile energy efficiency with adaptive control. By actively reconstructing passive surfaces to store programmable interfacial energy, hybrid systems enable flexible yet low‐power liquid transport, with perspectives ...

Understanding Operando Water Management in Hydroxide‐Exchange‐Membrane Fuel Cells
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.Effective water management is vital for high‐performance hydroxide‐exchange‐membrane fuel cells. Using a custom water‐flux station, this study quantifies how membrane thickness, microporous layers, and operating conditions dictate internal water transport.

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.
