Assessment of the impact of training tools on healthcare workers for PCV introduction in Maharashtra, India during the COVID-19 pandemic

Vaccine: X
Background: Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (PCV) is a costly vaccine and poor and vulnerable communities can't afford it in private sector. The Indian government introduced the Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine into the Universal Immunization during the ...

Micromechanical modeling of snow failure [PDF]

The Cryosphere, 2020
Dry-snow slab avalanches start with the formation of a local failure in a highly porous weak layer underlying a cohesive snow slab. If followed by rapid crack propagation within the weak layer and finally a tensile fracture through the slab, a slab ...

Emergent Spinning and Orbital Motion in Clustered Wind‐Assisted Flyers

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Inspired by natural snowflake geometries, paper‐cut flyers exhibit geometry‐defined spinning and orbital motions during cluster formation in a wind tunnel. Collective flights of multiple paperflakes reveal dynamic clustering, fragmentation, and continuously evolving spin behaviors.

Drop‐Location‐Insensitive Droplet‐Based Electricity Generator Using Polydimethylsiloxane Slippery Covalently Attached Liquid Coatings

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Drop‐location sensitivity remains a key barrier to practical droplet‐based electricity generators (DEGs). Here, a polydimethylsiloxane slippery covalently attached liquid (PDMS‐SCAL)‐coated interface promotes droplet sliding instead of splitting or bouncing, allowing stable electricity generation from randomly falling raindrops. The resulting PDMS‐SCAL‐

Groundwater Rise Sustains the World's Largest Alpine Water System Under Global Warming

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Shallow groundwater depth (SGWD) across the non‐permafrost plains of the Qinghai–Xizang Plateau decreased at averagely 0.02 m year−1, adding 31.44 Gt of freshwater storage from 2000 to 2020 and sustaining ∼53 500 km2 of alpine ecosystems. A vadose‐zone capacity of 426.6 Gt reveals these aquifers as promising reservoirs, highlighting groundwater's ...

Experimental Simulation of Wet-Snow Shedding from Sagged Cables [PDF]

The process of wet-snow shedding from overhead cables was simulated in cold-chamber experiments under different ambient conditions. The main objective of the study was to examine how cable sag influences the snow-shedding process. However, the effects of

Can model-based avalanche forecasts match the discriminatory skill of human danger-level forecasts? A comparison from Switzerland [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences
In recent years, physics-based snowpack models combined with machine-learning techniques have gained momentum in public avalanche forecasting. When integrated with spatial interpolation methods, these approaches enable fully model-driven predictions of ...

On the saltation of fresh snow in a wind tunnel: profile characterization and single particle statistics [PDF]

, 2008
We present experimental results on the snow drift in a turbulent boundary layer over a flat fresh snow-covered surface. Vertical profiles of mass flux and of the distribution of particle diameters were obtained by means of a pair of Snow Particle ...

Static Drainage H2/O2 PEM Fuel Cells Enabled by Water Transport Plates: Pore‐Scale Design and Transport Mechanisms

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The WTP is a key component of static drainage PEMFCs, enabling cathode water removal and gas sealing through capillary forces. This work investigates the mechanisms governing WTP drainage and sealing performance and develops predictive approaches for WTP design optimization.
