Quenching Photo‐Induced Free Radicals Endows Superomniphobic Atmospheric Water Harvesting Hydrogels With UV Resistance for Durable Bifacial Photovoltaic Cooling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A hygroscopic hydrogel layer functionalized with fullerene C60 tackles heat and dust challenges in bifacial photovoltaics (PV) panels. It resists soiling and photo‐aging, maintains high transparency, absorbs water vapor from the air during the night, and delivers strong evaporative cooling power during daytime, significantly lowering PV panel ...

Variability of Satellite Sea Surface Salinity Under Rainfall [PDF]

, 2020
Two L-Band (1.4 GHz) microwave radiometer missions, the Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) and the Soil Moisture Active and Passive (SMAP) missions, currently provide salinity measurements in the first centimeter below the sea surface. At this depth, salinity variability at hourly temporal scales is dominated by the impact of precipitation.

Behaviorally Adaptive and Inclusive Advanced Driver‐Assistance Systems

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Advanced driver‐assistance systems (ADASs) are mapped as evolving human‐centered, adaptive technologies linking sensing, driver monitoring, AR/HUD interfaces, patents, regulation, and inclusive design. The review identifies gaps in real‐world evidence, diverse‐driver validation, gaze metrics, and governance, outlining a roadmap for safer, behaviorally ...

Investigation of Discrepancies in Satellite Rainfall Estimates over Ethiopia [PDF]

Journal of Hydrometeorology, 2014
Abstract Tropical Applications of Meteorology Using Satellite and Ground-Based Observations (TAMSAT) rainfall estimates are used extensively across Africa for operational rainfall monitoring and food security applications; thus, regional evaluations of TAMSAT are essential to ensure its reliability. This study assesses the performance of

A Vacuum‐Suction and Rotate End Effector for Robotic Apple Fruitlet Thinning: Comparative Development, Integrated Field Evaluation, and Preliminary Harvesting

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Robotic apple thinning is constrained by a single field season confined to a few weeks each year. An efficient design process screens four detachment concepts off‐season using an artificial fruitlet structure, with field trials identifying vacuum suction and rotation as the most effective approach.

Validation of satellite-based rainfall in Kalahari

Physics and Chemistry of the Earth, Parts A/B/C, 2018
Water resources management in arid and semi-arid areas is hampered by insufficient rainfall data, typically obtained from sparsely distributed rain gauges. Satellite-based rainfall estimates (SREs) are alternative sources of such data in these areas. In this study, daily rainfall estimates from FEWS-RFE∼11 km, TRMM-3B42∼27 km, CMOPRH∼27 km and CMORPH∼8

The causal effect of agricultural landscape simplification on Germany's grasslands during a compound drought and heatwave in 2018

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Preserving ecosystem services, along with economic and environmental benefits, will require future landscape policies to identify and incorporate relevant landscape features. In this paper, we investigate the causal effect of agricultural landscape simplification on drought‐related grassland damages.
