Enhancing Reliable Irrigation–Water Supply in Poverty‐Ridden and Drought‐Prone Areas: Pre‐2017 Baseline Evidence From the Tawona Irrigation Scheme, Zimbabwe

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates farmers' willingness to pay for a reliable irrigation water supply in Zimbabwe's Tawona irrigation scheme, where intermittent water supply caused by funding shortages threatens irrigation sustainability. Using contingent valuation and logit regression analysis, data were collected from 313 farmers during the 2016/2017 ...

Influence of Drain and Operational Parameters on Backwash Cleaning Efficiency in a Commercial Sand Filter Model

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Some studies have demonstrated the influence of the drainage system design on the hydraulic behaviour and on the expansion of the filter bed during the backwashing process, with a presumed effect on removal efficiency. The objective was to evaluate the influence of the drainage system design of a commercial sand filter model, the operating ...

Transforming Agricultural Water Management for Healthy People and Planet: Thinking Beyond Water

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper develops the concept of Thinking Beyond Water, a transdisciplinary paradigm that reframes agricultural water management (AWM) as a systems catalyst for planetary health, equity, justice and resilience. Moving beyond conventional irrigation‐centric models, we reimagine AWM through integrative frameworks such as the planetary ...

Looking back, looking ahead: Local perspectives on landscape changes and native‐tree restoration in Madagascar

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Across sub‐Saharan Africa, tree‐based restoration efforts are dominated by exotic tree species due to their rapid biomass accumulation and short‐term economic returns. However, their limited contribution to biodiversity and ecosystem functioning has renewed interest in native‐tree restoration as a more sustainable strategy.

Social‐ecological signatures in plant species composition across Swiss cities and urban green space types

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Cities can harbor greater plant diversity than other ecosystems, yet how city sociocultural factors may determine differences in plant composition across equivalent urban green space types remains understudied. Here, we compare plant communities in five main urban greenspace types across three Swiss cities representing the country's French (Geneva ...

Few Annotations, High Accuracy: Transfer Learning and Data Augmentation Improve Passive Acoustic Monitoring of the Vulnerable African Manatee

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Can deep learning reliably detect a threatened species in passive acoustic monitoring with few annotations? Across 52 sites and 600 recording days, we compared two deep learning recognizers with the traditional machine learning Kaleidoscope for detecting African manatee vocalizations.

Updated predictions for toponium production at the LHC

Physics Letters B
We provide an update on QCD predictions for top-quark pair production close to threshold including bound state effects at the Large Hadron Collider. We compute the top-quark pair invariant mass distribution dσ/dMtt¯, including Coulomb resummation for ...

Resummation of Cactus Diagrams in Lattice QCD, to all Orders

, 2000
We show how to perform a resummation, to all orders in perturbation theory, of a certain class of gauge invariant tadpole-like diagrams in Lattice QCD. These diagrams are often largely responsible for lattice artifacts.
