Novel stacking models for improved extreme rainfall predictions under climate change scenarios. [PDF]
, 2018 Future projections under global warming scenarios of local extreme precipitations by downscaling models is still open challenge. A number of downscaling statistical models have been proposed to link large scale atmospheric circulation features, as ...

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract Premise The censer seed dispersal mechanism, whereby mature fruits are retained on plants and seeds dispersed by mechanical shaking, is among the most specialized wind‐aided seed dispersal strategies employed by the flowering plants. An efficient, affordable, and easily repeatable protocol for determining whether a species uses this unusual ...

Archaeology in Oceania, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper reports on the excavation of a cache of stone artefacts, buried on the bank of a waterhole or ‘billabong’ in central western Queensland. This is an extremely rare find, and yet it is the second such site to be reported within less than a 10 km radius.

Advancing Cave Survey Methods: High‐Precision Mapping in Drakotrypa Cave, Greece
Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Cave floor mapping plays a vital role across various scientific disciplines by enabling the identification and interpretation of features shaped by both natural processes and human activity. In cave archaeology, floor mapping is crucial to decode and reconstruct human‐induced morphological features.

Cutting Through the Green: A Case for Grassland Archaeology Using UAV Multispectral Data
Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Advances in low‐altitude remote sensing are needed to improve the effectiveness of archaeological prospection in the Netherlands. The geomorphological situation and land use history make applying various remote sensing and geophysical technologies particularly challenging.

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Internal exclusion (isolation) is a behaviour management approach involving the temporary relocation of a pupil from their classroom to a designated isolation space as a consequence of disruptive behaviour. We present the first study of prevalence (i.e., what proportion of young people are isolated?), inequalities (i.e., who is more likely to ...
