Modeling Nonstationary Extreme Rainfall for Updating Intensity–Duration–Frequency Curves across Indian Cities under Changing Climate

Abstract Nonstationarity in extreme rainfall, driven by an intensifying hydrological cycle under a changing climate, challenges the reliability of conventional stationary intensity–duration–frequency (IDF) curves used in hydrologic design. Analyzing annual and seasonal timeframes...

Preparation of sulphonic acid-functionalized heterogeneous catalyst from cashew nut shell liquid and its application for biomass value addition

Abstract Although cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL) is a well-known biofuel, feedstock for sustainable chemicals and phenolic resins, its use for preparing heterogeneous catalysts by suitable structural modifications remains virtually unexplored. This work reports the preparation of...
