Statistical analysis of the equivalent design rainfall [PDF]

, 2005
Statistical analyses of rainfall data are used for the design of sewerage systems and pump-stations, for the evaluation of the duration and the frequency of overflow in runoff detention facilities, for the determination of the critical influence on a ...

Rainfall over the African continent from the 19th through the 21st century

Global and Planetary Change, 2017
Most of the African continent is semi-arid and hence prone to extreme variations in rainfall from year to year. The extreme droughts that have plagued the Sahel and eastern Africa are particularly well known.

Interplay of Backbone Conformation, Morphology and Thermoelectric Properties of Benzodifuranone‐Isatin Acceptor Polymers

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Modification of polymer backbone via halogenation and comonomer selection leads to conjugated backbones of different stereoelectronic properties, thin film morphologies, and electrical characteristics. The interplay of conformational isomerism, coplanarity, backbone curvature, backbone orientation, and ordering in thin films, electrical conductivity ...

Stability of Perovskite Indoor Photovoltaics: A Focused Review and a Call for Standardized Stability Reporting

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
While perovskite solar cells have been widely studied, including their stability, perovskite indoor photovoltaics (IPVs) have only recently emerged. Nevertheless, more studies are appearing in the literature. The systematic stability study of IPVs is crucial, particularly given the inconsistencies in reported methodologies and results, which call for ...

Did the Indian Green Revolution Change the Farm Size–Productivity Relationship?

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We examine the relationship between farm size and productivity during India's Green Revolution, a period of rapid technological transformation. Using a unique panel of over 5000 Indian farm households that spans the Green Revolution (1971–1999), we show that the classic (linear) inverse farm size–productivity relationship gradually evolved ...

Associação entre El Niño Oscilação Sul e a produtividade do milho no Estado do Rio Grande do Sul Association between El Niño Southern Oscillation and corn yield in Rio Grande do Sul State

Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira, 2005
A alta variabilidade interanual da produtividade de milho, no Rio Grande do Sul, é determinada, principalmente, pela variabilidade da precipitação pluvial, e esta, em grande parte está associada ao fenômeno El Niño Oscilação Sul (ENOS). A disponibilidade,

Temperature and Farm Labor in Nigeria

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We estimate the impact of temperature shocks on the composition of farm labor in rural Nigeria using a nationally representative household panel survey. Leveraging plausibly exogenous year‐to‐year variation in growing season temperatures, we find that warmer temperatures significantly alter farm labor composition, prompting a substantial shift

Kenyan Farmers' Policy Priorities During Economic Crisis and Stability: Insights From a Best‐Worst Scaling Experiment

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Amid rising food and fertilizer prices, understanding farmers' policy preferences is critical for effective crisis response. We use best‐worst scaling experiment to assess Kenyan mobile‐owning crop farmers' preferences for government support under high and normal price scenarios.

Adapting to Changing Rainfall and Developing Off‐Farm Employment: Implications for the Adoption of Direct Seeding in Rice Production

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rice is the main staple food for more than half of the world's population and the income from rice is an essential source for livelihoods of millions of households. We examine whether direct seed in rice production is an adaptation of rice farmers to rainfall changes and farm labor scarcity.
