Evaluation of Precipitation Forecast of System: Numerical Tools for Hurricane Forecast
Advances in Meteorology, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020 Heavy rainfall events, typically associated with tropical cyclones (TCs), provoke intense flooding, consequently causing severe losses to life and property. Therefore, the amount and distribution of rain associated with TCs must be forecasted precisely within a reasonable time to guarantee the protection of lives and goods.

Addiction Biology, Volume 31, Issue 2, February 2026.We used electroencephalography and novel ‘neural decoding’ techniques to establish whether exposure to e‐cigarette products triggers automatic and unconscious product approach tendencies. Results show that young people’s vape approach tendencies can be predicted from brain activity as early as 100‐300 ms after exposure.

Diversity of Lifeways in Early Antillean Societies: A Multi‐Isotope Approach
American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 186, Issue 4, April 2025.ABSTRACT Objectives In this paper, we sought to examine whether people with different lifeways, as evidenced by their mobility patterns and dietary practices, inhabited the Antilles in early precolonial time. We also aimed to explore spatiotemporal trends.
