People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Hydropower dams regulate water flows for millions of downstream inhabitants worldwide, altering water availability. Under a changing climate, flow control is often framed technically and politically as being essential for reducing drought and flood risks. However, it can also disrupt ecological flows, impact livelihoods and erode environmental

Converting Binary Floating‐Point Numbers to Shortest Decimal Strings: An Experimental Review
Software: Practice and Experience, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background When sharing or logging numerical data, we must convert binary floating‐point numbers into their decimal string representations. For example, the number π might become 3.1415927. Engineers have perfected many algorithms for producing such accurate, short strings.
