The aim of this study is to investigate the corrosion performance of reinforcement steels coated with a coating containing wheat straw, sunflower stalk, and corn stalk ashes and moreover to discuss the effect of the coating on the concrete durability.By replacing calcite with different amounts of these organic ashes in the dye production, innovativ
Addressing sustainable urban flood risk: reviewing the role and scope of theoretical models and policies
Contemporary adaptation to urban flooding is based on risk management.Urban planners have both an active role in studying cities and a supportive role in helping to define policies.From 33 case studies, this review tries to give insight into how flood risk management fares in confronting international directives on disaster reduction and sustainabi
Detecting spatial patterns with the cumulant function – Part 1: The theory
In climate studies, detecting spatial patterns that largely deviate from the sample mean still remains a statistical challenge.Although a Principal Component Analysis (PCA), or equivalently a Empirical Orthogonal Functions (EOF) decomposition, is often applied for this purpose, it provides meaningful results only if the underlying multivariate dist
