Atmospheric teleconnection mechanisms of extratropical North Atlantic SST influence on Sahel rainfall [PDF]

, 2014
Extratropical North Atlantic cooling has been tied to droughts over the Sahel in both paleoclimate observations and modeling studies. This study, which uses an atmospheric general circulation model (GCM) coupled to a slab ocean model that simulates this ...

Shapeshifting Liquid Metal Droplets for Soft Fluidic Machines

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This study presented a liquid metal shape shifting strategy which harnesses Lorentz force, surface tension and fluid instabilities to achieve autonomous fluidic power. By using a liquid metal droplet as a mobile current carrier, this strategy enables the development of low‐voltage, self‐oscillating pumps that outperform existing soft pumps.

Inter-relação biomassa vegetal subterrânea-estabilidade de agregados-erosão hídrica em solo submetido a diferentes formas de manejo Interrelation of underground plant biomass with soil aggregate stability and rainfall erosion of a soil under different managements

Revista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, 2008
O aumento da biomassa vegetal subterrânea e da estabilidade dos agregados do solo pelo seu manejo adequado aumentam sua capacidade para infiltrar água da chuva e resistir à erosão hídrica.

A Soft Microrobot for Single‐Cell Transport, Spheroid Assembly, and Dual‐Mode Drug Screening

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A soft, untethered hydrogel microrobot enables precise single‐cell delivery, self‐assembly into 3D spheroids, and real‐time thermal actuation. Driven by light‐induced convection and embedded with gold nanorods and temperature sensors, the microrobot guides cells, modulates local microenvironments, and supports drug testing.

SimKat: a virtual laboratory to explore the impact of rainfall variability associated with the A2 climate change scenario on the Western Australian wheat-belt [Abstract] [PDF]

, 2009
The wheat-belt of Western Australia is one of the most vulnerable regions to climate change in Australia (DAFWA, 2007). Over the last century, the landscape is Western Australian has changed drastically with almost 20 million hectares of native ...

Local generalised method of moments: an application to point process-based rainfall models [PDF]

, 2015
Long series of simulated rainfall are required at point locations for a range of applications, including hydrological studies. Clustered point process-based rainfall models have been used for generating such simulations for many decades.

Integrated Lead/Iodine Management for Sustainable Perovskite Solar Modules

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Perovskite solar modules face environmental risks from lead and iodine leakage. A dual‐function adsorbent—porphyrin‐modified whitlockite nanocomposites—effectively captures iodine and Pb2+, even under severe damage. Combined with a semi‐closed recycling process, it recovers 96.9% high‐purity PbI2 and reduces residual Pb2+ to <10 ppb, offering an ...

Slope Stability Assessment using Stochastic Rainfall Simulation

Procedia Computer Science, 2012
AbstractMany regions around the world are vulnerable to rainfall-induced landslides and debris flows. A variety of methods, from simple analytical approximations to sophisticated numerical methods, have been proposed over the years for capturing the relevant physics leading to landslide initiation. A key shortcoming of current hazard analysis techniques,
