Performance of multi-level association rule mining for the relationship between causal factor patterns and flash flood magnitudes in a humid area

Geomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk, 2019
Integrated with K-means clustering and Apriori algorithm, the multi-level association rule mining is proposed to investigate the causal factor patterns of flash floods, which consists of the following three steps: first, the association between causal ...

Aflatoxin contamination in dried fruits and nuts in Bangladesh: Occurrence, dietary exposure, and health risk assessment

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Dried fruits and nuts are widely consumed for their desirable sensory qualities and high nutritional value, providing essential nutrients such as proteins, healthy fatty acids, potassium, dietary fiber, and bioactive compounds. However, they are highly susceptible to aflatoxin contamination, particularly in humid tropical regions ...

Beyond a dual role: how Purpureocillium lilacinum reprograms citrus metabolism for integrated biocontrol and growth promotion

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Plants harbor complex microbial communities that are fundamental to their health and productivity. Among them, endophytic fungi such as Purpureocillium lilacinum establish mutualistic associations, offering dual benefits as plant growth promoters and biocontrol agents.

White light reduces flight height of birds in low‐density migration corridor

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We conducted an experiment to better understand the effects of artificial light at night treatments of varying spectral power distributions on in‐flight migratory bird behavior as measured by a portable radar. Broad‐spectrum white light emissions reduced avian flight height as compared to dark periods and more than other light treatments.

Beyond the Shelf: Navigating Scarcity in the Digital Age

Psychology &Marketing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Scarcity is a well‐established marketing tactic, yet its effects in digital retail environments remain less well understood. This research examines how different types of online scarcity cues influence consumer behavior and whether some cues may produce unintended responses.

FLARE: A design environment for FLASH-based space applications [PDF]

, 2009
Designing a mass-memory device (i.e., a solid-state recorder) is one of the typical issues of mission-critical space system applications. Flash-memories could be used for this goal: a huge number of parameters and trade-offs need to be explored.

The evaluation of boundary‐layer turbulence in high‐resolution numerical weather prediction simulations using Doppler lidar

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
A new method compares both kilometer and sub‐kilometre weather model simulations with Doppler lidar observations to assess the representation of boundary‐layer turbulence. While bulk boundary‐layer properties are well represented, vertical velocity variance is strongly underestimated in both simulations.
