Disaster risk reduction measures n Bangladesh [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Disasters damage the entire economy of the country when they predominantly take place in developing countries. While no country in the world is entirely safe, lack of capacity to limit the impact of hazards has made developing countries being the most ...

Survival of Casuarina cunninghamiana on a recovering sand-bed stream in the Wollombi Valley of coastal New South Wales [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The successful management and restoration of riparian corridors in Australia is currently hindered by our poor understanding of the links between hydrology, fluvial geomorphology and plant population dynamics.

Does a Morphotropic Phase Boundary Exist in ZrxHf1‐xO2‐Based Thin Films?

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study investigates 6 nm zirconium‐rich hafnium‐zirconium oxide thin–film metal–insulator–metal capacitors using a combination of experimental methods and machine learning–based molecular dynamics simulations to provide insight into the physical mechanisms that enhance the dielectric constant near 0 V and attribute it to the field‐induced ...

Resettlement as climate change adaptation: what can be learned from state-led relocation in rural Africa and Asia? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
There is growing interest in helping people in developing countries cope with climate change by reframing population relocation as an adaptation strategy.

Counterion Dependent Side‐Chain Relaxation Stiffens a Chemically Doped Thienothiophene Copolymer

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Oxidation of a thienothiophene copolymer, p(g3TT‐T2), via different doping strategies and dopant molecules resulted in materials with similar oxidation levels and a high electrical conductivity of ≈100 S cm−1. However, mechanical properties varied significantly, with sub‐glass transition temperatures and elastic moduli spanning from –44°C to –3°C and ...

Fluvial transport of suspended sediment and organic carbon during flood events in a large agricultural catchment in southwest France. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Water draining from a large agricultural catchment of 1 110 km2 in southwest France was sampled over an 18-month period to determine the temporal variability in suspended sediment (SS) and dissolved (DOC) and particulate organic carbon (POC) transport ...

Programmable In‐Situ Interactions Between Resins and Photopolymerized Structures for Seamlessly Integrated Optical Manufacturing of Microlenses

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents a dynamic interaction between liquid resins and photopolymerized structures enabled by an in situ light‐writing setup. By controlling a three‐phase interface through localized photopolymerization, which provides physical confinement for the remaining uncured resin regions, the approach establishes a programmable pathway that ...

Statistical relations of precipitation and stream runoff for El Niño and La Niña periods, Texas Hill Country

open access: yesTexas Water Journal, 2011
The Texas Hill Country is threatened by devastating long-duration droughts and short-duration floods, either of which can occur at any time. In Central Texas, El Niño and La Niña conditions each occur about one-quarter of the time.

Pahang Flood Disaster : The Potential Flood Drivers

open access: yesMalaysian Journal of Geosciences, 2017
The northeast monsoon which occurs from November to March carries heavy rainfall which always result in flood especially to the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia. Pahang was one of the state that severely affected by this flood. Although the heavy rain is the main driver of the flood but human being cannot ignore the other flood drivers especially the ...
