Typology of Rainfall Fields to Improve Rainfall Estimation in the Sahel by the Area Threshold Method

Water Resources Research, 1996
The stratification of rainfall fields to improve specific rainfall models is a subject that has received relatively little attention in the literature. It is shown here that objective classification techniques, based on the intensities and spatial distribution of the rainfall fields, can produce meaningful results in terms of the area threshold method (

Impact of uncertainty in rainfall estimation on the identification of rainfall thresholds for debris flow occurrence

, 2014
Estimation of rainfall intensity–duration thresholds, used for the identification of debris flow/landslide triggering rainfall events, has been traditionally based on raingauge observations.

Brief communication: Using averaged soil moisture estimates to improve the performances of a regional-scale landslide early warning system [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2018
We communicate the results of a preliminary investigation aimed at improving a state-of-the-art RSLEWS (regional-scale landslide early warning system) based on rainfall thresholds by integrating mean soil moisture values averaged over the territorial ...

Using satellite rainfall products to assess the triggering conditions for hydro-morphological processes in different geomorphological settings in China

International Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation, 2021
Hydro-morphological processes (HMP, i.e. all processes contained within the spectrum defined between debris flows and flash floods) initiate in response to intense rainfall events.

Automatic Lesion Morphometrics Reliably Predict Sensorimotor Recovery After Spinal Cord Injury: A Longitudinal, Multicenter Neuroimaging Study

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate automatic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)‐derived lesion morphometrics against manual measurements and their prognostic value for characterizing distinct acute to chronic neurological recovery trajectories after spinal cord injury (SCI). Methods We studied a retrospective, multicenter cohort of cervical and thoracolumbar

Forecasting landslides using SIGMA model: a case study from Idukki, India

Geomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk, 2021
This study proposes a regional landslide early warning system for Idukki (India), using a decisional algorithm. The algorithm forecasts the possibility of occurrence of landslide by comparing the rainfall thresholds with the cumulated rainfall values ...

A Return to Normality: A Descriptive Qualitative Interview Study Exploring the Patient Experience of Gout Flare Resolution

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Although the definition of a gout flare is well established, the state of gout flare resolution has not yet been defined. This study aimed to explore patients’ experiences and perceptions of gout flare resolution. Methods Semistructured interviews were conducted with 24 people with gout, guided by open‐ended questions exploring their ...

Melanin's Role in Balancing Mechanical Strength and Reproductive Output in Environmentally Stressed Fungal Spores

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Melanin content directly controls fungal spore mechanical properties, with pigmented spores achieving rupture forces two orders of magnitude higher than hyaline spores. Environmental stress drives this quantity‐quality tradeoff; stressed species invest energy in melanin‐reinforced, mechanically superior thick‐walled, super‐hydrophobic spores, while ...
