Hot spots or hot moments? Contextualizing the spatio‐temporal scale of research on animal inputs
Mammals play important roles in redistributing elements across ecosystems, concentrating biogeochemical inputs across both space and time. However, research on zoogeochemical inputs is often constrained by logistical considerations, potentially limiting our knowledge of mammals' impacts on biogeochemical patterns and processes.

Carbon Dots: An Emerging Frontier for Green and Sustainable Civil Engineering Materials
Traditional civil engineering materials (CE materials) are usually involved with high‐energy consumption during manufacturing, significant maintenance costs, and substantial environmental impacts throughout their life cycles. The progress of nanotechnology is catalyzing a green and sustainable transformation within the field.

Snow cover in the Siberian forest-steppe [PDF]
A study is made of the snow cover on an experimental agricultural station in Mariinsk in the winter of 1945 to 1946. Conditions of snow cover formation, and types and indicators of snow cover are discussed.

Estimating the Application Rate of Liquid Chloride Products Based on Residual Salt Concentration on Pavement [PDF]
This technical report summarizes the results of laboratory testing on asphalt and concrete pavement. A known quantity of salt brine was applied as an anti-icer, followed by snow application, traffic simulation, and mechanical snow removal via simulated ...

ABSTRACT Background Contact lenses (CLs) are increasingly used worldwide for refractive error correction because of their optical, cosmetic, and functional advantages over spectacles. However, although their safe and effective use depends on adequate knowledge and proper hygiene practices, there is limited evidence on contact lens‐related knowledge ...

Research of microwave scattering properties of snow fields [PDF]
The results obtained in the research program of microwave scattering properties of snow fields are presented. Experimental results are presented showing backscatter dependence on frequency (5.8-8.0 GHz), angle of incidence (0-60 degrees), snow wetness ...

A Novel Multilevel Conceptual Framework for Flood Risk Governance
ABSTRACT Globally, flood risk is increasing as climate change progresses. Contemporary flood risk management practice often utilises hydrodynamic modelling (for hazard risk assessments), social vulnerability assessments, and risk communications in silo, which fragments evidence‐based decision‐making for effective flood risk management. We hence develop

Numerical Simulation of Snow Deposition Around living Snow Fences [PDF]
In this study, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was used to investigate the air flow around porous snow fences to gain insight into snow transport and deposition in the vicinity of fences.

ABSTRACT Nonstructural components (NSCs) installed in large‐span reticular structures were frequently severely damaged during earthquakes, even when the primary structure remained intact. Existing seismic design specifications for NSCs were predominantly developed for upright structures such as multi‐storey buildings and offer no guidance for reticular

ABSTRACT The solar photovoltaic (PV) installations, which are essential for renewable energy systems, are vulnerable to partial shading, resulting in considerable power losses and operational inefficiencies. The dynamic reconfiguration of PV arrays has become an effective strategy to mitigate these effects by adaptively modifying the array topology to ...
