Rainfall thresholds for shallow landslides based on physical models: application in a sub-basin of the Valle de Aburrá (Colombia)•

Dyna, 2019
An analysis of the rainfall conditions and the influence of the infiltration processes on the slope stability are important in tropical mountain terrains due to the wide occurrence of rainfall-induced landslides.

The predictability of precipitation episodes during the West African dry season

, 2012
Precipitation episodes in tropical West Africa (7-15°N, 10°W-10°E) during the dry season from November to March are rare, but can have significant impacts on human activities reaching from greening of pastures to spoiling harvests and health implications.

Global Distribution of Urban Landslide Rainfall Thresholds

, 2022
Rainfall-triggered landslides in urban areas cause fatalities and damage globally, but landslide early warning systems operating in individual cities rely on different data sources and methods, making a comparison of thresholds challenging. In this study, we estimate the distribution of intensity-duration (I-D) and event-duration (E-D) rainfall ...

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.

Drivers of Farmers' Contract Compliance Behavior: Evidence From a Case Study of Dangote Tomato Processing Plant in Northern Nigeria

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Contract farming is a viable strategy agribusinesses rely on to strengthen coordination across actors in the value chain. However, low contract compliance remains a significant setback to agribusinesses' contract performance in low‐ and middle‐income country context.

Efficiency and Technology Gap in European Apple Production—A Metafrontier Model for Germany, Italy, and Poland

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT EU member states have exhibited varying rates of apple production growth. Technical efficiency (TE) estimation is suitable for identifying best‐practice farm performance. This study examined whether the development of the apple sector in Germany, Italy, and Poland was influenced by production efficiency, access to technology, as well as ...

The Impact of Sediment Supply on the Initiation and Magnitude of Runoff‐Generated Debris Flows

Geophysical Research Letters, 2020
Rainfall intensity‐duration (ID) thresholds are commonly used to assess the potential for runoff‐generated debris flows, but the sensitivity of these thresholds to sediment supply, which can change rapidly with time, is relatively unexplored. Furthermore,

Spheres, tears, and spears: Regulating the perimeter and circularity of millimeter‐sized alginate hydrogel beads

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Generating hydrogel beads pertains to many engineering applications. We examined two alginate‐based fluids at three concentrations of alginate, cAG$$ {c}_{\mathrm{AG}} $$. We used the “Map of Misery” to determine which material property (viscosity, elasticity, and inertia) drives droplet formation.
