Enhancements in reservoir flood risk mapping: example application for Ulley

, 2014
In July 2007, at Ulley Reservoir, South Yorkshire, a catastrophic dam failure was narrowly avoided due to emergency preventative actions. During the event, a number of homes were evacuated and roads were closed for precautionary measures.

Emerging Materials and Future Strategies for Solid Oxide Electrochemical Cells

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
Solid oxide electrochemical cells operate under strongly coupled electrochemical and thermodynamic conditions, where performance is constrained by interactions among crystal structure, defect chemistry, and interfacial evolution. This review, based on a structure‐defect‐property‐durability framework, reveals the roles of lattice symmetry and defect ...

The European Union approach to flood risk management and improving societal resilience: lessons from the implementation of the Floods Directive in six European countries [PDF]

, 2016
Diversity in flood risk management approaches is often considered to be a strength. However in some national settings, and especially for transboundary rivers, variability and the incompatibility of approaches can reduce the effectiveness of flood risk ...

Stochastic urban pluvial flood hazard maps based upon a spatial-temporal rainfall generator [PDF]

, 2015
It is a common practice to assign the return period of a given storm event to the urban pluvial flood event that such storm generates. However, this approach may be inappropriate as rainfall events with the same return period can produce different urban ...

Main‐Chain Ion‐Pair Polybenzimidazole Membranes Enabling Reduced‐Temperature HT‐PEMFC Operation (Down to 120°C)

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
Embedding imidazolium‐biphosphate ion pairs directly into the polybenzimidazole main chain simultaneously stabilizes phosphoric acid and preserves continuous proton transport pathways. Strong ion‐pair and hydrogen‐bond interactions suppress acid leaching while maintaining high conductivity, enabling stable and durable high‐temperature fuel cell ...
