Quenching Photo‐Induced Free Radicals Endows Superomniphobic Atmospheric Water Harvesting Hydrogels With UV Resistance for Durable Bifacial Photovoltaic Cooling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A hygroscopic hydrogel layer functionalized with fullerene C60 tackles heat and dust challenges in bifacial photovoltaics (PV) panels. It resists soiling and photo‐aging, maintains high transparency, absorbs water vapor from the air during the night, and delivers strong evaporative cooling power during daytime, significantly lowering PV panel ...

Flooding‐Driven Greenhouse Gas Emissions From Global Upland Croplands

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Temporary flooding of upland croplands releases nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide, and methane. Field measurements combined with a global literature synthesis yield a global estimate of 63.3 teragrams of carbon dioxide equivalent per year for diffusive emissions from flooded upland croplands.

Optimal extension of the rain gauge monitoring network of the Apulian Regional Consortium for Crop Protection

Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 2007
The goal of this paper is to provide a methodology for assessing the optimal localization of new monitoring stations within an existing rain gauge monitoring network. The methodology presented, which uses geostatistics and probabilistic techniques (simulated annealing) combined with GIS instruments, could be extremely useful in any area where an ...

Experimental Demonstration of Temporally Aware Fault‐Tolerant Sensor Fusion Using Memristive Associative Learning

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
In dynamic driving scenarios, the proposed approach ensures only temporally aligned sensor inputs to make driving decisions, preventing false activations. By enabling selective hardware‐level learning, it achieves fast, reliable responses under noisy conditions.

Assessing the Importance of Rain Gauge Stations through Network Theory

Malaysian Journal of Fundamental and Applied Sciences
Understanding rainfall's spatial and temporal dynamics is pivotal for effective water resource management, especially in regions susceptible to extreme weather events. This study employs network theory to investigate rainfall distribution and variability across 21 Sungai Pahang, Malaysia monitoring stations.

Extreme Weather Events and Consumer Food Responses

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates consumer food responses to Hurricanes Helene and Milton, which affected a swath of the Southeastern U.S. in 2024. Using representative consumer survey data from six affected states, we analyze 10 distinct food responses classified into ex ante and ex post responses, and examine their associations with food insufficiency

Farmers' Preferences for Gene Editing Crops and Influencing Factors

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gene editing (GE) is gaining momentum worldwide, but limited data on UK farmers' preferences hinders our understanding of its potential impact amid deregulation debates. Based on a survey of 200 English arable farmers, we employ a Latent Class Analysis and Multinomial Logit regressions to investigate current preferences for GE crops.

Real-Time Rain Rate Evaluation via Satellite Downlink Signal Attenuation Measurement

Sensors, 2017
We present the NEFOCAST project (named by the contraction of “Nefele”, which is the Italian spelling for the mythological cloud nymph Nephele, and “forecast”), funded by the Tuscany Region, about the feasibility of a system for the detection and ...

Agronomic and Nutritional Perspectives on Vegetable Crops in Africa

AgriFood: Journal of Agricultural Products for Food, EarlyView.
Vegetable production plays a key role in food security, nutrition, and livelihoods across Africa. Moreover, African indigenous vegetables emerge as underutilized yet highly valuable crops, rich in macro‐ and micronutrients, as well as bioactive compounds with an array of health benefits.
