Climate requirements for cultivated Liberica coffee (Coffea liberica) and consequences for its use and development as a crop species

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The global coffee industry, supporting 25 million smallholder farmers, is vulnerable to climate change. Diversifying the coffee species portfolio beyond Arabica and robusta is a promising intervention. Liberica coffee could provide adaptive capacity, although its climate parameters for cultivation are poorly known.

A Machine Learning Approach to Predict Functional Performance From Measurable Protein Structural Characteristics: A Screening Tool for Protein Ingredient Quality

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The food industry is witnessing the emergence of specialized protein‐based functional ingredients for the use as gelling, thickening, and/or emulsifying agents in various food applications. Different sources of protein including species and cultivars, as well as variable processing conditions affect the protein's structural characteristics ...

Performance evaluation of regional weather predictions with the Model for Prediction Across Scales – Atmosphere (MPAS‐A) over the Maritime Continent

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
As part of the ongoing efforts to develop next‐generation forecasting systems at the Meteorological Service Singapore, this study presents the setup and evaluation of the SINGV_NG(MPAS) system. Overall, the SINGV_NG(MPAS) system outperforms European Centre for Medium‐Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) deterministic forecasts in capturing heavy rainfall ...

Ecological Characteristics of Stream Reaches With and Without Low‐Tech Process‐Based Restoration in a Wildfire‐Affected Catchment

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Low‐tech process‐based stream restoration (LTPBR) is increasingly implemented following wildfire, underscoring the need to evaluate restoration outcomes in burned catchments. To help address this need, we measured abiotic and biotic characteristics of a reach that received LTPBR, an untreated reach, and a reach with relict beaver activity that

The Hidden Costs of Coffee Production in the Eastern African Value Chains

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT There is increasing recognition that significant hidden costs associated with agrifood systems are not reflected in market prices. Coffee is among the three most traded agricultural commodities in the world and supports the livelihoods of more than 30 million smallholder households.

Fragment‐Block: A Novel Approach for Managing Variability in Software Product Lines

Software: Practice and Experience, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Changes in the functionality of a software product line (SPL) can generate various issues in the SPL source code. Their complexity depends primarily on the amount of changes in the SPL source code and the internal mechanisms for managing variability. Further, modern development frameworks rely on a variety of artefacts besides source

Model‐Based Systems Engineering in Space Applications: A Comprehensive Literature Review

Systems Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The growing complexity of space engineering is driving the demand to embrace the adoption of Model‐Based Systems Engineering (MBSE). Although the MBSE is well‐practiced in the space industry, the level of effort and need required to obtain the benefits of MBSE vastly differ across enterprises; this disparity presents a significant challenge to

Assessment of sampling variation applets during development

Teaching Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Concepts relating to sampling variation are known to be difficult for learners in introductory classes. There is some evidence that web‐based visualization tools, or “applets,” may aid the learning of these challenging ideas. Four freely available applets developed at the authors' institution were extensively tested through sessions involving ...
