Application of HF Radar in Hazard Management

International Journal of Antennas and Propagation, 2016
A review is given of the impact that HF radars are having on the management of coastal hazards. Maps of surface currents can be produced every 10–20 minutes which, in real time, improve navigation safety in restricted areas commonly found near ports and ...

The Impact of Science: Uptake of Scientific Recommendations After Extreme Events—Case Study Floods in 2021 in Germany

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 18, Issue 3, September 2025.
ABSTRACT In summer 2021, heavy precipitation caused major flooding in central Europe, affecting areas in Germany, the Netherlands, and Belgium. The Ahr Valley in Germany was one of the most adversely affected areas, with more than 135 deaths and major destruction within a 50 km path along the Ahr.

Heat Transfer in Segregated Fluidized Beds Part 2: Particle Motion and Its Effects on the Heat transfer in the Segregated Fluidized Beds

Journal of Thermal Science and Technology, 2007
In our previous paper, particle and temperature segregations in a fluidized bed of binary particle mixtures were experimentally examined, and heat transfer in the segregated fluidized bed was investigated.

The transition from the fixed to the fluidized state of well‐mixed binary‐solid mixtures in a liquid upflow

AIChE Journal, Volume 71, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract In this work, an investigation of the transition from fixed to fluidized state of initially homogeneous binary‐solid mixtures due to an upward liquid flux was carried out. Like for analogous gas systems, it was confirmed that the full transition occurs over a range of fluid velocities, from the initial to the final fluidization velocity. Based

Sexing From Seawater: Application of Environmental DNA Beyond Species Detection for Cetaceans

Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 4, July–August 2025.
This study used environmental DNA (eDNA) flukeprint sampling and ZFX/ZFY gene amplification to determine the sex of killer whales and humpback whales, finding higher PCR success in killer whales but higher sex‐matching success in humpbacks. While eDNA shows promise as a noninvasive alternative to biopsies, further refinement is needed to optimize ...

Art from Flotsam [PDF]

Boom, 2013
For thirty years Northern California hosted several informal galleries in which local people constructed unsigned sculpture from flotsam. The work received considerable media publicity. The premier gallery was in Emeryville, but several other locations around the Bay were used, along with subsidiary galleries in Arcata and North Bend, OR.

Vertical distributions of dolphinfish (Coryphaena hippurus) in the Eastern Pacific Ocean suggest variability in potential associations with floating objects

PLoS ONE, 2022
Floating objects play a pivotal role in pelagic ecosystems by serving as shelters, meeting points, cleaning stations, nurseries, and feeding grounds. The abundance of these objects is increasing globally in the form of flotsam, plastics, discarded or ...
