Living in the Mycelial World

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract This manuscript documents a systematic ethnomycological analysis of ethnographic archives. Focusing on texts describing human–fungi interactions, I conduct a global, cross‐cultural review of mushroom use, covering 193 societies worldwide. The study reveals diverse mushroom‐related cultural practices, emphasizing the significance of fungi ...

Post-return stroke VHF electromagnetic activity in north-western Mediterranean cloud-to-ground lightning flashes [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics
We investigate properties of the electromagnetic activity following the first lightning return stroke (RS), using concurrent observations from the SLAVIA (Shielded Loop Antenna with a Versatile Integrated Amplifier) sensor, the SAETTA (Suivi de l ...

Sculplexity: Sculptures of Complexity using 3D printing

, 2013
We show how to convert models of complex systems such as 2D cellular automata into a 3D printed object. Our method takes into account the limitations inherent to 3D printing processes and materials.

Fail‐Controlled Classifiers: A Swiss‐Army Knife Toward Trustworthy Systems

Software: Practice and Experience, Volume 56, Issue 3, Page 239-259, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Modern critical systems often require to take decisions and classify data and scenarios autonomously without having detrimental effects on people, infrastructures or the environment, ensuring desired dependability attributes. Researchers typically strive to craft classifiers with perfect accuracy, which should be always correct and ...

Ground-Based Observations of Terrestrial Gamma Ray Flashes Associated with Downward-Directed Lightning Leaders

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2019
Terrestrial gamma-ray flashes (TGFs) are bursts of gamma-rays initiated in the Earth’s atmosphere. TGFs were serendipitously first observed over twenty years ago by the BATSE gamma ray satellite experiment.

Stagewise Boosting Distributional Regression

Stat, Volume 15, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Distributional regression extends generalized additive models by linking all distributional parameters to covariates. Gradient boosting is among the most effective estimation techniques for such models, yet it can suffer from vanishing gradients, resulting in unstable updates and weak variable selection.

Correlated Lightning Mapping Array (LMA) and Radar Observations of the Initial Stages of Florida Triggered Lightning Discharges [PDF]

, 2012
We characterize the geometrical and electrical characteristics of the initial stages of nine Florida triggered lightning discharges using a Lightning Mapping Array (LMA), a C-band SMART radar, and measured channel-base currents.
