Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Overview of the proposed Gate‐Align‐SED, including two stages of training: (1) Mean‐Teacher SSL Training; and (2) Enhancer Model Training. In complex real‐world environments such as disaster monitoring, effective sound event detection (SED) is often hindered by the presence of noise and limited labeled data.

Engineering of an Extreme Rainfall Detection System using Grid Computing [PDF]
, 2012 This paper describes a new approach for intensive rainfall data analysis. ITHACA's Extreme Rainfall Detection System (ERDS) is conceived to provide near real-time alerts related to potential exceptional rainfalls worldwide, which can be used by WFP or ...

Abstract Extreme weather already causes much damage today, and it will become only more common as climate change progresses, not only in the Netherlands itself but also in the Caribbean territories. In this chapter, we specifically examine the damage caused by extreme rainfall, who is compensated for it, and who actually pays for it.

Modelling Extremes of the Areal Rainfall Process
Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series B: Statistical Methodology, 1996 SUMMARY Risk assessment for many hydrological structures requires an estimate of the extremal behaviour of the rainfall regime within a specified catchment region. In most cases it is the spatially aggregated rainfall which is the key process, though in practice only pointwise rainfall measurements from a network of sites over the region

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract This study examines the impact of soil erosion on agricultural land values in the United States (US) Midwest. Based on a novel county‐level panel data set with information on soil erosion levels and agricultural land values covering five census years (1997, 2002, 2007, 2012, and 2017), we separately investigate the direct effect of two types ...

How do variations in the temporal distribution of rainfall events affect ecosystem fluxes in seasonally water-limited Northern Hemisphere shrublands and forests? [PDF]
, 2012 As a result of climate change, rainfall regimes became more extreme over the course of the 20th century, characterised by fewer and larger rainfall events. Such changes are expected to continue throughout the current century. The effect of changes in the

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Crop insurance is undoubtedly an extremely valuable element in protecting agricultural businesses, but in many cases standard indemnity‐based products have had very low uptake due to high transaction costs elevating premiums to unaffordable levels.
