Characterising Vento Norte Downslope Windstorms and Their Thermal Impacts in Southern Brazil
Using 20 years of hourly INMET observations in Santa Maria (southern Brazil), we identify 189 Vento Norte (VNOR) downslope windstorms, ~72% in winter, marked by abrupt warming, drying and strong northerly gusts. Across five biometeorological indices (TEFW, TDI, THI, HDI, Humidex), VNOR hours consistently show significantly higher thermal discomfort ...

Elevator dynamic monitoring and early warning system based on machine learning algorithm
In order to monitor and warn the elevator dynamics, in this work, the machine learning algorithm is introduced, and the particle swarm algorithm is used to perfect the model. The model is optimised, and the experimental comparison shows that the optimisation of the model parameters can further improve the accuracy of the elevator load prediction. Then,

Institutional Fragility and E‐Business Adoption: A Study of SMEs in a Conflict‐Affected Economy
ABSTRACT This study examines e‐business adoption among SMEs in Yemen, a conflict‐affected and institutionally fragile economy. Drawing on a mixed‐methods design, it combines Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS‐SEM) with qualitative interviews to analyse how war and firm size moderate the effects of key adoption drivers and barriers.

Stabilising Routines in Complex Emergencies: How Basic Service Continuity Shapes Perceived Security
ABSTRACT This study examines how locally embedded actors describe the relationship between basic service continuity and perceived security in complex emergencies, with particular attention to the stabilisation of everyday routines. Using Proximity‐Predictability‐Attributability (PPA) as an analytic lens, we trace how interviewees relate access to water,
