Land use change for flood protection: A prospective study for the restoration of the river Jelašnica watershed [PDF]

Glasnik Šumarskog Fakulteta: Univerzitet u Beogradu, 2011
Serbia’s hilly-mountainous regions are extremely vulnerable to flooding as a consequence of their natural characteristics and human impacts. Land mismanagement influences the development of erosion processes, and causes soil degradation that ...

Unveiling a Stable Polysulfide Transport Framework in a Fluorine‐Free Li‐S Batteries

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work unveils a lithium thiophosphate reaction pathway activated by trigger P2S5 units, which initiate fast self‐assembly and shift the system away from conventional Li‐S reactions. The reversible Li‐P‐S framework delivers stability, safety, and high energy density, while enabling a distinct solid‐liquid hybrid electrochemical mode that provides a ...

Hydrological simulation of extreme flood scenarios for operational flood management at the Middle Elbe river [PDF]

, 2012
Operational flood management at the Middle Elbe river requires comprehensive knowledge about the magnitude and characteristics of possible extreme flood events. Since these events are not sufficiently included in available historical records, an extended

Spectroscopic Evidence of Edge‐Localized States in an Antiferromagnet Topological Insulator NdBi

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Using spin‐polarized scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) in conjunction with quasiparticle interference, we successfully identify distinct signatures of the ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic terminations in NdBi, a rare‐earth monopnictide exhibiting non‐trivial topology and magnetism. We demonstrate that step edges on ferromagnetic surfaces host well‐
