Simulation of monthly rainfall totals
The observed distribution of non-zero rainfall totals for a given month is often modelled using a maximum likelihood estimate for the Gamma distribution. In this paper we show that a Gamma distribution can be regarded as a zero order approximation to a density distribution constructed by a series of associated Laguerre polynomials.

Rainfall simulation for environmental application [PDF]
Rain simulation systems have been designed for field and greenhouse studies which have the capability of reproducing the physical and chemical characteristics of natural rainfall. The systems permit the simulation of variations in rainfall and droplet size similar to that of natural precipitation.

Conventional passive radiative cooling films rely on costly feedstocks and energy‐intensive fabrication, with poor end‐of‐life compatibility in agriculture. To address this challenge, a sustainable radiative cooling mulch (SRCM) is developed from waste maize leaves via spontaneous hydrogen‐bond self‐assembly.

Thin‐Film Transistor Based Active Taxel for Multimode Tactile Perception and Fused Processing
Skin serves as the largest‐area organ for human and embodied intelligent robots, providing tactile interaction. An active multimode fused (AMF) artificial skin is developed using standard TFT processes, featuring 2T‐1C taxels with optical and electrostatic capacitive receptors for cross‐modal sensing.

Causal‐Guided Ultra‐Long‐Term Time Series Forecasting Via Anticipated Covariates
Often treated as unknown, information from the future remains underutilized.We demonstrate that in a coupled dynamical system, providing the future state of the effect enables accurate forecasting of the cause for a long timesteps. A time series forecasting paradigm that introduces anticipated covariates to represent such known future states is ...

Adaptive and Highly Efficient Thermoregulation Based on Multi‐Dimensional Janus Film
A switchable TiO2/MXene/PDMS Janus membrane enables dual‐mode radiative cooling and solar heating, achieving sub‐ambient cooling of 17.89°C and above‐ambient heating of 13.82°C. Adaptive temperature regulation was demonstrated with a low power integrated autonomous smart curtain system, providing a sustainable and energy‐efficient alternative for ...
