Rapidly declining seagrass meadows in Brazil: Findings from satellite imagery and local knowledge

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Due to the limitations of individual monitoring approaches, integrating social perceptions with multiple advanced technologies provides a new opportunity to gain a comprehensive understanding of ecosystem degradation. We combined historical aerial mapping, satellite imagery, semi‐structured interviews with local stakeholders, and a bilingual ...

The role of soil moisture in the inland penetration of Indian monsoon low‐pressure systems

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
We use the Advanced Weather Research and Forecasting model to examine the role of soil moisture in the inland penetration of Indian monsoon low‐pressure systems (LPSs). We find that LPSs penetrate deeply into India despite a dry land surface; however, their inland penetration is adversely affected when there is a reduction in the total surface heat ...

Autonomous Navigation in Large‐Scale Underground Environments Based on a Purely Topological Understanding of Tunnel Networks

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This work presents a non‐geometrical navigation approach based on a purely topological understanding of underground environments. By conceptualizing subterranean scenarios as a set of tunnels that intersect with each other, and taking a navigation approach based on topological instructions, we simplify the navigation problem to the sequential ...

Isolation, Insularity and Resilience: A Review of the Geophysical, Socioeconomic, and Environmental Vulnerabilities of Gran Canaria and Lesvos Islands for Policy Interventions to Global Change

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The dynamic nature of small islands being geographically isolated and their perceived connectedness with global networks complicates research attempts to draw general conclusions on whether insularity leads to marginalization or strengthens their resilience for sustainable development.

Buchanan and the Social Contract: Coordination Failures and the Atrophy of Property Rights

Southern Economic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT James Buchanan advocated that societies should be based on a social contract. He rejected anarchy, seeing it as a “Hobbesian jungle” that calls for government intervention to maintain social order. He also opposed theories of spontaneous order. These views led to debates about the compatibility of Buchanan's works with classical liberalism and

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

Antidumping Petition: To File or Not To File [PDF]

Given the “normal value†of a product as common knowledge in an import-competing market, the profitability of a home firm in filing an antidumping (AD) petition against its foreign rival is shown to depend on the marginal cost differential between the

Dynamic Modelling of Critical Infrastructures for Improved Disaster Habitation Recovery

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Natural disasters damage infrastructure systems that support housing habitability, leading to population displacement. Recovery efforts speed up infrastructure capacity restoration and, thereby, rehabitation by displaced residents. Current recovery policy analysis methods focus on individual infrastructure systems or overall community recovery
