(author), Hascoetf, Tristian (author), Penna, Daniele (author), Modanesi, Sara (author), Brocca, Luca (author)The event runoff coefficient (i.e. the ratio between event runoff and precipitation that originated the runoff) is a key factor for understanding basin response to precipitation events. Runoff coefficient depends on precipitation intensity and duration but also on specific basin geohydrology attributes (including soil type, geology, land...journal article 2023

S. (author)The retrogression and re-aging (RRA) processes, aimed mainly at tailoring intergranular precipitates, could significantly improve the corrosion resistance (i.e., stress corrosion cracking resistance) without considerably decreasing the strength, which signifies that an efficient control of the size, distribution and evolution of intergranular...journal article 2022

(author)The effect of thermal aging of homogenized Fe-Au and Fe-Au-W alloys, irradiated at room temperature with hydrogen ions, was studied for an aging treatment at 300 °C for aging times up to 100 h. The aging behavior of the Fe-based alloys is compared to the results for pure Fe. The precipitation behavior of Au-rich and W-rich precipitates and...journal article 2021

Varouchakis, Emmanouil A. (author), Hristopulos, Dionissios T. (author), Karatzas, George P. (author), Corzo Perez, GA (author), Diaz, Vitali (author)Precipitation data are useful for the management of water resources as well as flood and drought events. However, precipitation monitoring is sparse and often unreliable in regions with complicated geomorphology. Subsequently, the spatial variability of the precipitation distribution is frequently represented incorrectly. Satellite...journal article 2021

Yuan, Bo (author), Li, G. (author), Guo, Mingxing (author), Zhuang, Linzhong (author)The coupling control of quenching rate and pre-aging and its positive effect on the age-hardening response of Al–Mg–Si–Cu–Zn–Fe–Mn alloy was systematically investigated. The larger and more stable solute clusters can be formed in alloy with fast age-hardening response by using the lower quenching rate (5.3 °C/min) and an appropriate pre-aging...journal article 2021

Overeem, A. (author), de Vries, Hylke (author), Sakka, Hassan Al (author), Uijlenhoet, R. (author), Leijnse, Hidde (author)The Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI) operates two operational dual-polarization C-band weather radars providing 2D radar rainfall products. Attenuation can result in severe underestimation of rainfall amounts, particularly in convective situations that are known to have high impact on society. To improve the radar-based...journal article 2021

Bogerd, Linda (author), Overeem, Aart (author), Leijnse, Hidde (author), Uijlenhoet, R. (author)Applications like drought monitoring and forecasting can profit from the global and near-real-time availability of satellite-based precipitation estimates once their related uncertainties and challenges are identified and treated. To this end, this study evaluates the IMERG V06B Late Run precipitation product from the Global Precipitation...journal article 2021

Paprotny, D. (author), Vousdoukas, Michalis I. (author), Morales Napoles, O. (author), Jonkman, Sebastiaan N. (author), Feyen, Luc (author)The interaction between storm surges and inland run-off has been gaining increasing attention recently, as they have the potential to result in compound floods. In Europe, several flood events of this type have been recorded in the past century in Belgium, France, Ireland, Italy and UK. First projections of compound flood hazard under climate...journal article 2020

Mastrantonas, Nikolaos (author), Bhattacharya, Biswa (author), Shibuo, Yoshihiro (author), Rasmy, Mohamed (author), Espinoza-Dávalos, Gonzalo (author), Solomatine, D.P. (author)After the launch of the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission in 2014, many satellite precipitation products (SPPs) are available at finer spatiotemporal resolution and/or with reduced latency, potentially increasing the applicability of SPPs for near-real-time (NRT) applications. Therefore, there is a need to evaluate the NRT SPPs...journal article 2019

van Dijk, N.H. (author), van der Zwaag, S. (author)In comparison to other materials, in metals and metallic systems self-healing of cracks and crack-initiating defects is difficult to achieve due to the fact the solute atoms that act as healing agents are relatively small and generally have a relatively low mobility at the prevailing operating temperatures. In this review, the scientifically...journal article 2018

Borra, C.R. (author), Vlugt, T.J.H. (author), Yang, Y. (author), Offerman, S.E. (author)Ceria is the main component in glass polishing powders due to its special physico-chemical properties. Glass polishing powder loses its polishing ability gradually during usage due to the accumulation of other compounds on the polishing powder or due to changes in the particle size distribution. The recovery of cerium from the glass polishing...journal article 2018
