Intracrystalline Void‐Mediated Toughening of Brittle Crystals in Quail Eggshells

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
In quail eggshells, the high density and disordered arrangement of intracrystalline voids inhibit lattice cleavage, suppress long‐range crack propagation, and promote deformation twinning and quasi‐plasticity, serving as an essential toughening motif. We show that these voids remain within a narrow subcritical size range and therefore predominantly do ...

Automated rainfall simulator for variable rainfall on urban green areas [PDF]

Hydrological Processes, 2019
AbstractRainfall simulators can enhance our understanding of the hydrologic processes affecting the total runoff to urban drainage systems. This knowledge can be used to improve urban drainage designs. In this study, a rainfall simulator is developed to simulate rainfall on urban green surfaces.

Radiative Thermal Management for Extreme Environments: Mechanisms and Design Strategies

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
In this review, we discuss the fundamental mechanisms of radiative cooling and solar heating, material and structural design strategies, hybrid approaches integrating additional heat transfer pathways, and durability‐oriented designs addressing environmental stresses.

Parameter Investigation for Stamp Manufacturing of Complex 3D Geometries Using Nanoimprint Lithography

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Nanoimprint lithography can replicate complex 3D microstructures with undercuts using single‐layer polymer stamps of different elasticities. By combining experiments and simulations, T‐shaped geometries and suitable undercut radii were identified that minimize stress and defects during demolding.

Asymmetry in ENSO teleconnection with regional rainfall, its multidecadal variability, and impact

, 2010
An asymmetry, and its multidecadal variability, in a rainfall teleconnection with the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) are described. Further, the breakdown of this relationship since 1980 is offered as a cause for a rainfall reduction in an ENSO ...

Mechanisms of multiyear variations of Northern Australia wet-season rainfall [PDF]

, 2020
Northern Australia wet season (November–April) rainfall exhibits strong variability on multiyear timescales. In order to reveal the underlying mechanisms of this variability, we investigate observational records for the period 1900–2017.

Changes in Rainfall Pattern in Bengawan Solo Sub-Watershed

Sains Tanah: Journal of Soil Science and Agroclimatology, 2022
Rainfed farming is vulnerable to climate variability, which changes rainfall patterns.  Rainfall variability disrupts rainfed rice cultivation because a  change in rainfall will affect the rice crop calendar.

Technical Feasibility Study of Autonomous Field Robot‐Based on‐the‐go Assessment of Soil Nutrients Using Ion‐Sensitive Field‐Effect Transistors

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Autonomous field robots equipped with ISFET‐based sensors enable rapid, spatially resolved soil nutrient analysis directly in the field. An automated system based on the BoniRob platform is presented for standardized on‐site extraction and measurement of key macronutrients and soil pH.

Rainfall variability in the Austral-Indonesian Region and the role of Indo-Pacific climate drivers

, 2010
The tropical Austral-Indonesian region (95°E-155°E, 25°S-10°N) is a strategically important region in the climate system and is sensitive to extreme events caused by climate variability and change.

Quantifying rainfall variability and potential hazards of extreme events in Beijing through stochastic simulations

Journal of Hydrology: Regional Studies
Study region: The city of Beijing, China. Study focus: Beijing is affected by heavy rainfall in summer, which may trigger urban floods. These risks make long rainfall records valuable for extreme rainfall analysis, given the complex spatiotemporal ...
