The INCA (Integrated Nitrogen in Catchments) model was applied to the River Tweed in the Scottish Borders, a large-scale (4400km2), spatially heterogeneous catchment, draining a wide range of agricultural land-use types, and which contributes approximately 20% of UK river flows to the North Sea. The model was calibrated for the first four years’ data record (1994 to 1997) and tested over the fo...

Microstructure evolution in complex nonlinear systems is of great interest from both scientific and engineering viewpoints. Here, we consider an important case of such an evolution, a coherent decomposition of a homogeneous parent phase involving the symmetry-lifting crystal lattice rearrangement of the product phase. It is shown that under certain conditions the transformation develops as a ps...

This study aimed to produce upcycled tweed fabric using clothing waste, and this end, weaving methods for were designed, the creative upcycling of tweeds was produced. For improvement in quality recycled fabrics creative, designs, four designed based on Chanel’s design. Various types discarded waste collected used as materials. The produced evaluated by experts factors novelty appropriateness. ...

The observation of electronic phase separation textures in vanadium dioxide, a prototypical electron-correlated oxide, has recently added new perspectives on the long standing debate about its metal–insulator transition and applications. Yet, lack atomically resolved information phases accompanying such complex patterns still hinders comprehensive understanding implementation practical devices....
