A Leaf‐Inspired Janus‐Structured Triboelectric‐Moisture Hybrid Energy Harvester
Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.This study proposes a bioinspired Janus structured energy‐leaf with hybrid triboelectric‐moisture hybrid energy harvesters. This hybrid energy harvester is demonstrated in an intelligent emergency system for effective distress signaling and evacuation guiding during potential crises.

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Rice is the main staple food for more than half of the world's population and the income from rice is an essential source for livelihoods of millions of households. We examine whether direct seed in rice production is an adaptation of rice farmers to rainfall changes and farm labor scarcity.

The geomorphological rainfall in the Mediterranean landscape modeling [PDF]
, 2019 The kinetic energy derived from the heavy rainfall constitutes one of the main factors of the geomorphological processes in Mediterranean environments, as well as in the landscape and the ecosystem modeling, resulting from its extraordinary spatial and

Return period analysis of extreme rainfall events
MAUSAM, 1984 The return periods analysis of extreme events of rainfall for selected 15 stations of Krishna river basin have been studied and presented in this paper. The annual one-day rainfall data for 60-years (1901-60) was used for the study. The rainfall estimates were computed for different return periods using tow different distribution and Fisher & ...

Temperature Sensitivity and Adaptation of Cereal Yields: Empirical Evidence From Italy
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper investigates the evolving temperature sensitivity and climate adaptation of cereal yields in Italy from 1952 to 2023, using province‐level data for maize, common wheat, and durum wheat. Employing panel data econometric methods, we estimate yield responses to heat exposure, changes in sensitivity over time, and adaptation to climate ...

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Increased frequency of extreme weather events, particularly droughts, threatens grassland farming by destabilizing yields and farms' economic viability. We examine, theoretically and through numerical simulations, how sown plant diversity (natural insurance) influences the attractiveness of indemnity and drought index insurance (formal ...
