SECULAR CHANGE PATTERNS OF JAPANESE RAINFALL

open access: yesGeographical Review of Japan, 1964
There are 61 stations in Japan which have successive rainfall records for more than 60 years up to 1961. For these stations, residual mass-curves of their annual rainfalls were constructed respectively based on the 30 years normal values of the period 1921-50.

Combining the Pitcher and Lotus Plant: Supericephobic and Superhydrophobic Silicone Films

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Based on bench‐top nanomolding of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) with optimized silicone oil content, we developed hierarchically structured silicone films by essentially combining the properties of the lotus and pitcher plant; particularly we are able to achieve water contact angle as high as 171° and ice adhesion strength as low as 11.5 kPa (i.e ...

Smart Energy–Harvesting Coating for Moisture–Droplets Based on Ionic Diodes and Transistor–Like Structures

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A smart power‐generating coating is developed to harvest energy from both ambient humidity and impacting liquid droplets. The integrated system delivers sustained open‐circuit voltages of 0.85 V from moisture and up to 36 V from droplets. Its scalable coating architecture enables a continuous power supply for low‐power electronic devices.

Diurnal pattern of rainfall in Cambodia: its regional characteristics and local circulation

open access: yesProgress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2018
We analyze the hourly rainfall data of 30 rain gauges in Cambodia from 2010 to 2015 to focus on the diurnal pattern of rainfall and its regional characteristics, with the underlying mechanisms inferred from the observed data. The observed annual rainfall

Spatial pattern of rainfall events:a background study to modeling and forecasting rainfall [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The study of extreme rainfall events and their spatial coverage is important in identifying areas with high and low extreme events. It has been widely known that extreme rainfall is responsible for major flash flood and landslide events that have caused ...

Transparent Photothermal Slippery Surface Based on Monolayer Self‐Assembled MXene Film for Anti‐Fogging and De‐Icing

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The ultrathin (2.5 nm) MXene film self‐assembled at liquid interfaces breaks the trade‐off between transparency (82.5 %) and photothermal conversion effect (DT∼25.1°C ± 2.9 °C) under 100 mW cm−2. After encapsulated by a slippery surface with low adhesion, this transparent film can be applied in smart windows, eyewear, and optical sensors to autonomous ...
