The inert nature of most commercial polymers and nanomaterials results in limitations of applications in various industrial fields. This can be solved by surface modifications to improve physicochemical and biological properties, such as adhesion, printability, wetting and biocompatibility. Polymer functionalization allows to graft specific moieties and conjugate molecules that improve material performances. In the last decades, several approaches have been designed in the industry and academia to graft functional groups on surfaces. Here, we review surface decoration of polymers and nanomaterials, with focus on major industrial applications in the medical field, textile industry, water treatment and food packaging. We discuss the advantages and challenges of polymer functionalization. More knowledge is needed on the biology behind cell–polymer interactions, nanosafety and manufacturing at the industrial scale.

Characterization of links between hydro‐climate indices and long‐term precipitation in Brazil using correlation analysis - Jason Giovannettone; Franklin Paredes‐Trejo; Humberto Barbosa; Carlos A. C. dos Santos; T. V. Lakshmi Kumar (International Journal of Climatology, 2020)
Some teleconnection patterns characterized through various hydro‐climate indices (HCIs) have been shown to influence regional rainfall regimes over a range of time scales in Brazil. However, our current knowledge of how various HCI–rainfall relationships vary across regions in Brazil is still incomplete. In this study, simple correlation analysis is performed using sliding window sizes and lag times on the order of months to years to substantially reduce the effects of high‐frequency variability inherent in HCI and precipitation time series and reveal any lower‐frequency relationships that may exist. This analysis is applied to monthly rainfall and HCI data during the time‐span of 1961–2015. The strength and significance of each correlation were tested. HCIs considered in this analysis include those characterizing the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO), those characterizing the Madden–Julian Oscillation (MJO), as well as the Tropical Southern Atlantic index (TSA), the Caribbean index (CAR), and several others. A cluster analysis based on the k ‐medoids algorithm was also applied to explore the relationship between local factors and the distribution of HCIs exhibiting maximum correlation at each site. A 60‐month sliding window and a 12‐month lag time were found to optimize the results of the correlation. The MJO was found to have a strong and significant link to annual rainfall throughout much of eastern Brazil, while other HCIs showing strong influence in other regions include ENSO, the CAR, and the TSA. The cluster analysis revealed a more spatially homogeneous response over the Amazon River basin and the southern regions than other regions of Brazil with complex topography, where the orographic effect attenuates the influence of the main atmospheric mechanisms at a local scale. In general, the rainfall–HCI relationship could be exploited for some operational applications (e.g., a regional drought early warning system), where the strongest correlations were observed.

Snow-mediated plasticity does not prevent camouflage mismatch - Alexander V. Kumar; Marketa Zimova; James R. Sparks; L. Scott Mills (Oecologia, 2020)
Global reduction in snow cover duration is one of the most consistent and widespread climate change outcomes. Declining snow duration has severe negative consequences for diverse taxa including seasonally color molting species, which rely on snow for camouflage. However, phenotypic plasticity may facilitate adaptation to reduced snow duration. Plastic responses could occur in the color molt phenology or through behavior that minimizes coat color mismatch or its consequences. We quantified molt phenology of 200 wild snowshoe hares ( Lepus americanus ), and measured microhabitat choice and local snow cover. Similar to other studies, we found that hares did not show behavioral plasticity to minimize coat color mismatch via background matching; instead they preferred colder, snow free areas regardless of their coat color. Furthermore, hares did not behaviorally mitigate the negative consequences of mismatch by choosing resting sites with denser vegetation cover when mismatched. Importantly, we demonstrated plasticity in the initiation and the rate of the molt and established the direct effect of snow on molt phenology; greater snow cover was associated with whiter hares and this association was not due to whiter hares preferring snowier areas. However, despite the observed snow-mediated plasticity in molt phenology, camouflage mismatch with white hares on brown snowless ground persisted and was more frequent during early snowmelt. Thus, we find no evidence that phenotypic plasticity in snowshoe hares is sufficient to facilitate adaptive rescue to camouflage mismatch under climate change.

A COVID-19 Airway Management Innovation with Pragmatic Efficacy Evaluation: The Patient Particle Containment Chamber - Lauren M. Maloney; Ariel H. Yang; Rudolph A. Princi; Alexander J.

(Annals of Biomedical Engineering, 2020)
The unique resource constraints, urgency, and virulence of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic has sparked immense innovation in the development of barrier devices to protect healthcare providers from infectious airborne particles generated by patients during airway management interventions. Of the existing devices, all have shortcomings which render them ineffective and impractical in out-of-hospital environments. Therefore, we propose a new design for such a device, along with a pragmatic evaluation of its efficacy. Must-have criteria for the device included: reduction of aerosol transmission by at least 90% as measured by pragmatic testing; construction from readily available, inexpensive materials; easy to clean; and compatibility with common EMS stretchers. The Patient Particle Containment Chamber (PPCC) consists of a standard shower liner draped over a modified octagonal PVC pipe frame and secured with binder clips. 3D printed sleeve portals were used to secure plastic sleeves to the shower liner wall. A weighted tube sealed the exterior base of the chamber with the contours of the patient’s body and stretcher. Upon testing, the PPCC contained 99% of spray-paint particles sprayed over a 90s period. Overall, the PPCC provides a compact, affordable option that can be used in both the in-hospital and out-of-hospital environments.

Projected future changes in rainfall in Southeast Asia based on CORDEX–SEA multi-model simulations - Fredolin Tangang; Jing Xiang Chung; Liew Juneng; Supari; Ester Salimun; Sheau Tieh Ngai; Ahmad Fairudz Jamaluddin; Mohd Syazwan Faisal Mohd; Faye Cruz; Gemma Narisma; Jerasorn Santisirisomboon; Thanh Ngo-Duc; et al. (Climate Dynamics, 2020)
This paper examines the projected changes in rainfall in Southeast Asia (SEA) in the twenty-first century based on the multi-model simulations of the Southeast Asia Regional Climate Downscaling/Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiment–Southeast Asia (SEACLID/CORDEX–SEA). A total of 11 General Circulation Models (GCMs) have been downscaled using 7 Regional Climate Models (RCMs) to a resolution of 25 km × 25 km over the SEA domain (89.5° E–146.5° E, 14.8° S–27.0° N) for two different representative concentration pathways (RCP) scenarios, RCP4.5 and RCP8.5. The 1976–2005 period is considered as the historical period for evaluating the changes in seasonal precipitation of December–January–February (DJF) and June–July–August (JJA) over future periods of the early (2011–2040), mid (2041–2070) and late twenty-first century (2071–2099). The ensemble mean shows a good reproduction of the SEA climatological mean spatial precipitation pattern with systematic wet biases, which originated largely from simulations using the RegCM4 model. Increases in mean rainfall (10–20%) are projected throughout the twenty-first century over Indochina and eastern Philippines during DJF while a drying tendency prevails over the Maritime Continent. For JJA, projections of both RCPs indicate reductions in mean rainfall (10–30%) over the Maritime Continent, particularly over the Indonesian region by mid and late twenty-first century. However, examination of individual member responses shows prominent inter-model variations, reflecting uncertainty in the projections.

The global abundance of tree palms - Robert Muscarella; Thaise Emilio; Oliver L. Phillips; Simon L. Lewis; Ferry Slik; William J. Baker; Thomas L. P. Couvreur; Wolf L. Eiserhardt; Jens‐Christian Svenning; Kofi Affum‐Baffoe; Shin‐Ichiro Aiba; Everton C. de Almeida; et al. (Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2020)
Aim Palms are an iconic, diverse and often abundant component of tropical ecosystems that provide many ecosystem services. Being monocots, tree palms are evolutionarily, morphologically and physiologically distinct from other trees, and these differences have important consequences for ecosystem services (e.g., carbon sequestration and storage) and in terms of responses to climate change. We quantified global patterns of tree palm relative abundance to help improve understanding of tropical forests and reduce uncertainty about these ecosystems under climate change. Location Tropical and subtropical moist forests. Time period Current. Major taxa studied Palms (Arecaceae). Methods We assembled a pantropical dataset of 2,548 forest plots (covering 1,191 ha) and quantified tree palm (i.e., ≥10 cm diameter at breast height) abundance relative to co‐occurring non‐palm trees. We compared the relative abundance of tree palms across biogeographical realms and tested for associations with palaeoclimate stability, current climate, edaphic conditions and metrics of forest structure. Results On average, the relative abundance of tree palms was more than five times larger between Neotropical locations and other biogeographical realms. Tree palms were absent in most locations outside the Neotropics but present in >80% of Neotropical locations. The relative abundance of tree palms was more strongly associated with local conditions (e.g., higher mean annual precipitation, lower soil fertility, shallower water table and lower plot mean wood density) than metrics of long‐term climate stability. Life‐form diversity also influenced the patterns; palm assemblages outside the Neotropics comprise many non‐tree (e.g., climbing) palms. Finally, we show that tree palms can influence estimates of above‐ground biomass, but the magnitude and direction of the effect require additional work. Conclusions Tree palms are not only quintessentially tropical, but they are also overwhelmingly Neotropical. Future work to understand the contributions of tree palms to biomass estimates and carbon cycling will be particularly crucial in Neotropical forests.

Quantitative trait loci mapping for resistance to maize streak virus in F2:3 population of tropical maize - A. L. Garcia-Oliveira; A. Menkir; P. Lava Kumar; V. Azuh; O. O. Jacob; M. Gedil (Cereal Research Communications, 2020)
Maize streak virus (MSV) continues to be a major biotic constraint for maize production throughout Africa. Concerning the quantitative nature of inheritance of resistance to MSV disease (MSVD), we sought to identify new loci for MSV resistance in maize using F 2:3 population. The mapping population was artificially inoculated with viruliferous leafhoppers under screenhouse and evaluated for MSVD resistance. Using 948 DArT markers, we identified 18 quantitative trait loci (QTLs) associated with different components of MSVD resistance accounting for 3.1–21.4% of the phenotypic variance, suggesting that a total of eleven genomic regions covering chromosomes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 7 are probably required for MSVD resistance. Two new genomic regions on chromosome 4 revealed the occurrence of co-localized QTLs for different parameters associated with MSVD resistance. Moreover, the consistent appearance of QTL on chromosome 7 for MSVD resistance is illustrating the need for fine-mapping of this locus. In conclusion, these QTLs could provide additional source for breeders to develop MSV resistance.

Influence of tropical cyclones on the 100‐year return period wave height—A study based on 39‐year long ERA5 reanalysis data - T. Muhammed Naseef; V. Sanil Kumar (International Journal of Climatology, 2020)
Various engineering activities in a coastal and offshore environment require detailed assessment about the probable extreme wave characteristics in its lifetime to prevent human as well as property loss. The accurate estimation of wave height with a 100‐year return period not only contribute to the level of protection but also the scale of investments. In this study, significant wave height return levels for a northwestern Bay of Bengal location are estimated using extreme value models; generalized extreme value (GEV) and generalized Pareto distribution (GPD). Both block maxima and initial distribution methods are used in the GEV and GPD incorporated with peak over threshold (POT) series. The study is based on the European Centre for Medium‐Range Weather Forecasts ERA5 reanalysis hourly data at 0.25° × 0.25° spatial resolution from 1979 to 2017. The GPD estimates show that the return levels do not follow prevailing seasonality over the location since the return levels greatly depend upon the extreme events and most of the extreme events are during the northeast monsoon season (October–January). The POT with October–January data gives 9.08 m as 100‐year return level, and corresponding Indian southwest monsoon (June–September) return level is only 5.41 m. When different block periods ranging from 15 to 39 years are considered, the 50‐year return levels range from 5.12 to 8.67 m for GEV with annual maxima. The influence of tropical cyclones (TCs) on return levels are examined considering different case studies, and the results show that the strength of a TC alters the return levels more significantly than the number of TCs in the observation. The 100‐year return level decreases by ~30% when wave height during the two cyclones; Phailin and Hudhud are removed from the data set.

Climatology and trends of the Indian Ocean surface waves based on 39‐year long ERA5 reanalysis data - T. Muhammed Naseef; V. Sanil Kumar (International Journal of Climatology, 2020)
In this study, the wind and the surface waves in the Indian Ocean (IO) during 1979–2017 are studied based on the ECMWF ERA5 Reanalysis data. Long‐term statistical analysis of extreme waves is carried out based on Generalized Extreme Value distribution using annual maxima and the spatial distribution of return levels for 50 and 100 years are studied. In general, the ERA5 significant wave height ( H s ) and maximum wave height ( H max ) show a good agreement with measured buoy data in the coastal (bias ~0.29 m) and deep waters (bias ~0.18 m). During the tropical cyclone, underestimation of H s and H max in the ERA5 data compared to buoy data is 2.7 and 1.4%, but in general the bias is large (~0.69 m). Swell domination is observed in larger regions of the IO, whereas wind‐seas are comparable to swells in the Southern Ocean. The meridional wind speed largely influences the spatial pattern of H s in the North IO. The stronger winds over the Southern Ocean play a major role in generating higher waves at higher latitudes. Maximum value of the 100‐year return level for H s in IO is 17.8 m, whereas highest value of the H s is 16.7 m and H max is 32.0 m. Severe wave events are common at 50°–60°S and only during 25% of the time in a year, H max is less than 5 m in this region. Ratio of the H max to H s varies from 1.46 to 2.3 with a mean value of 1.87. The 100‐year return value of H s changed by −4 to 5 m, when the length of the dataset is decreased from 39 years (1979–2017) to recent 20 years. On an average, from 1979 to 2017, the annual average H max increased by 0.73 cm/year. In major areas of the IO, a clear decrease of the H s is observed during 1991–2017, whereas during 1979–2017, an increase in H s is found.

Nearshore Waves and Littoral Drift Along a Micro-Tidal Wave-Dominated Coast Having Comparable Wind-Sea and Swell Energy - Jesbin George; V. Sanil Kumar; R. Gowthaman; Jai Singh (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020)
The nearshore wave characteristics and variations in littoral drift (longshore sediment transport; LST) are estimated based on different approaches for four years along the Vengurla coast, with comparable wind-sea and swell energy assessed. The waverider buoy-measured data at 15 m water depth is utilized as the input wave parameters along with the reanalysis model data, and the numerical wave model Delft-3D is used for estimating the nearshore wave parameters. The relative contribution of wind-seas and swells on LST rates are specifically examined. The clear prevalence of west-southwest waves implies the prevalence of south to north longshore sediment transport with net transport varying from 0.19–0.37 × 105 m3/yr. LST is strongly dependent on the breaker angle and a small change in the wave direction substantially alters the LST, and hence reanalysis/model data with coarse resolutions produce large errors (~38%) in the LST estimate. The annual gross LST rate based on integral wave parameters is only 58% considering the wind-seas and swells separately, since the wind-sea energy is comparable to swell energy, and the direction of these two systems differs significantly.

Circulation in the Gulf of Khambhat—A Lagrangian Perspective - Aditi Mitra; V. Sanil Kumar; V. Simhadri Naidu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020)
The circulation of the Gulf of Khambhat (GoK) is studied from a Lagrangian point of view using a 2D numerical model. The model-predicted tide elevation and current speed are in agreement with the observations. Seasonal variations of advection of particles are simulated by releasing 237 particles homogeneously distributed over the Gulf. After one month of simulation, no particles escaped from the GoK except a few from the southern GoK during southwest monsoon (June–September), and the advection of particles was at its maximum in the northern part. Residual eddies are present inside the GoK during the northeast (October–January) and southwest monsoon seasons. Gulf circulation is studied with the combined forcing of tide and wind for different tidal conditions, which had noticeable seasonal difference. The maximum simulated current speeds of 3.4 and 2.8 m/s are noticed during southwest monsoon near to Bhavnagar and Dahej respectively, where the tide elevations are maximum indicating that GoK is a tide-dominated system. A seasonal barrier could be found in the southern Gulf, which not only makes the Gulf circulation distinct from that of the Arabian Sea (AS), but also restricts water-mass exchange between the Gulf and AS during ebb condition. As the Gulf is a dump yard for anthropogenic wastes, the present study puts forward an effort to determine the fate of the waste from a hydrodynamic point of view.

On the generation and propagation of Makran swells in the Arabian Sea - Thondithala R. Anoop; Puthuveetil R. Shanas; Valliyil M. Aboobacker; V. Sanil Kumar; Leela Sheela Nair; Ravindran Prasad; Srinivas Reji (International Journal of Climatology, 2020)
Persistent and periodic northerly low‐level jets have been identified in the South Asian mid‐latitudes and subtropics, which are modified by the presence of Makran mountain ranges adjacent to the central south coast of Pakistan, where they blow predominantly in the west‐northwest to northeast directions. These winds lead to the generation of a new wave system and propagate through the Arabian Sea as “makran swells”. They are prevalent during October to May. The measurements along the west coast of India reveal systematic variations in the wave spectra relating the makran events. This has been further verified through the WaveWatch III simulations forced by the CFSR winds. The significant wave heights up to 4.5 m were hindcasted in the northern Arabian Sea during these events. Once generated, the makran swells propagate to the eastern Arabian Sea and western Arabian Sea with directional sectors of 300–360° and 0–60°, respectively. The characteristic features and the spatial extension of the makran swells are particularly analysed.

Effectiveness of Field Water Tube for Standardization of Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD) Method of Water Management in Lowland Rice ( Oryza Sativa L.) - Mote Kishor Jalindar; V. Praveen Rao; V. Ramulu; K. Avil Kumar; M. Uma Devi (Irrigation and Drainage, 2019)
A field study was conducted to discover the effectiveness of a field water tube as a practical indicator for water management in lowland rice ( Oryza sativa L.). The field water tube was of 40 cm length and 15 cm in diameter so that the groundwater table could be easily visible. This tube with perforations was inserted into the ground until 20 cm protruded above soil level. It enabled monitoring of the water level inside the tube as and when the ponded water level drops to a certain permissible level, i.e. 5–15 cm‐surface. Practical indicators used in the experiment to find out the effectiveness of the field water tube were water stress parameters, viz. soil penetration resistance, soil crack width, soil siltation depth and days needed for ponded water to drop to a designated level in the field water tube. Field trials revealed that with 5 cm submergence depth and a threshold of 5 or 10 cm water depth below the ground level in the field the water tube was found to be a safe alternate wetting and drying practice in view of the higher yield (7060–7210 kg ha −1 ), considerable water saving (26.6–35.0%) and higher water productivity (1.15–1.27 kg m −3 ). © 2019 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
