Return levels of extreme European windstorms, their dependency on the North Atlantic Oscillation, and potential future risks [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2023
Windstorms are the most damaging natural hazard across western Europe. Risk modellers are limited by the observational data record to only ∼ 60 years of comprehensive reanalysis data that are dominated by considerable inter-annual variability. This makes

Modelling and Evaluation of Policies [PDF]

Acta Informatica Medica, 2020
NCDs (non-communicable diseases) are considered an important social issue and a financial burden to the health care systems in the EU which can be decreased if cost-effective policies are implemented, along with proactive interventions. The CrowdHEALTH project recognizes that NCD poses a burden for the healthcare sector and society and aims at focusing

The impact of time‐varying sea surface temperature on UK regional atmosphere forecasts

Meteorological Applications, 2021
A new approach to improve the ocean surface boundary condition used in regional numerical weather prediction is proposed. Typically, regional atmosphere forecast systems assume a fixed sea surface temperature during a simulation.

Evaluation models and evaluation use [PDF]

Evaluation, 2012
The use of evaluation results is at the core of evaluation theory and practice. Major debates in the field have emphasized the importance of both the evaluator’s role and the evaluation process itself in fostering evaluation use. A recent systematic review of interventions aimed at influencing policy-making or organizational behavior through knowledge ...

ACS-20/FATP4 mediates the anti-ageing effect of dietary restriction in C. elegans

Nature Communications, 2023
Dietary restriction is an effective anti-ageing intervention across species. However, the molecular mechanisms from the metabolic aspects of view are still underexplored. Here we show ACS-20 as a key mediator of dietary restriction on healthy ageing from

Evaluating Document Coherence Modeling [PDF]

Transactions of the Association for Computational Linguistics, 2021
Abstract While pretrained language models (LMs) have driven impressive gains over morpho-syntactic and semantic tasks, their ability to model discourse and pragmatic phenomena is less clear. As a step towards a better understanding of their discourse modeling capabilities, we propose a sentence intrusion detection task.

YY1 accelerates oral squamous cell carcinoma progression through long non-coding RNA Kcnq1ot1/microRNA-506-3p/SYPL1 axis

Journal of Ovarian Research, 2022
Objective Ying Yang1 (YY1) has already been discussed in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), but the knowledge about its mediation on long non-coding RNA KCNQ1 overlapping transcript 1/microRNA-506-3p/synaptophysin like 1 (Kcnq1ot/miR-506-3p/SYPL1) axis
