Flood risk analysis under consideration of river system dynamics and spatial temporal scales by Oliver, Julien

“…The frameworks proposed rely on modelling chains, with several or all of the following components: (i) long-term continuous and spatially coherent forcing events, (ii) a probabilistic river channel model, (iii) a stochastic structure failure model, (iv) an efficient inundation modelling strategy, and (v) a probabilistic damage simulation model. …”

Behavior of the southernmost San Andreas fault during the past 300 years by Sieh, Kerry, Williams, Patrick L.

“…Furthermore, neotectonic and paleoseismic data indicate that the fault does produce very large earthquakes every two to three centuries. In view of its long-term behavior, the occurrence of creep along the surficial trace of the fault in the Coachella Valley is of particular interest. …”

Novel single-step hydrophobic modification of polymeric hollow fiber membranes containing imide groups : its potential for membrane contactor application by Zhang, Yuan, Wang, Rong, Zhang, Lizhi, Fane, Anthony Gordon

“…It was observed the CO2 flux increased with the liquid velocity and modification time. A stable long-term performance of CO2 absorption by a 2 M sodium taurinate aqueous solution for 15 days of operation was attained. …”

Interdependent intermetallic compound growth in an electroless Ni-P/Sn-3.5Ag reaction couple by Kumar, Aditya, Chen, Zhong

“…It was found that the Ni3Sn4 and Ni3P layers grow predominantly as long as the electroless Ni-P layer is present; however, once the Ni-P layer is fully consumed, the Ni2SnP layer grows rapidly at the expense of the Ni3P layer. …”

The sustainable use of species-rich grasslands for forage and biogas production by French, K

“…Finally, by combining palaeoecological and modern vegetation data I demonstrate that grassland biodiversity was temporally and spatially linked to long-term human management and would revert to oscillating between open grassland and woodland if this management ceases. …”

Most of the world's largest flowers (genus Rafflesia) are now on the brink of extinction by Malabrigo Jr, P, Tobias, AB, Witono, J, Mursidawati, S, Susatya, A, Siti-Munirah, MY, Wicaksono, A, Raihandhany, R, Edwards, S, Thorogood, CJ

“…<br><strong> Summary<br></strong> The genus Rafflesia, which includes the world's largest flowers, has aroused curiosity among scientists for centuries and features prominently in local culture across Southeast Asia. The plant has long been used in ethnobotanical medicine and, more recently, as a source of revenue from ecotourism. …”

Essays on the market for corporate bonds by Levonmaa, A

“…Drawing on similar studies of other markets, the relationship between returns and order flow is modelled using a vector autoregression, and the information content of a trade is measured as the long-run price impact of a shock to order flow. Price impacts are particularly strong and significant for order flow from institutional investors and for bonds with higher default risk, higher volatility and lower liquidity. …”
