Socio-cultural reflections on heat in Australia with implications for health and climate change adaptation [PDF]

, 2012
Background : Australia has a hot climate with maximum summer temperatures in its major cities frequently exceeding 35°C. Although ‘heat waves’ are an annual occurrence, the associated heat-related deaths among vulnerable groups, such

Weather Attention in Online Discourse and Price Uncertainty in Agricultural Futures Markets

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Weather is a central determinant of production risk in agricultural markets, but markets respond not only to weather conditions themselves, but also to how those conditions are noticed, framed, and interpreted in public discourse. In this setting, real‐time online weather discussions may shape price uncertainty by influencing how market ...

Heat Accumulator in Large District Heating Systems: Simulation and Optimisation

, 2010
Heat accumulators in large district heating systems are used to buffer heat production. Their main purpose is to make heat production as independent as possible from district heating system demand. To do this effectively a heat accumulator of appropriate

An Autonomous Large Language Model‐Agent Framework for Transparent and Local Time Series Forecasting

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
Architecture of the proposed large language model (LLM)‐based agent framework for autonomous time series forecasting in thermal power generation systems. The framework operates through a vertical pipeline initiated by natural language queries from users, which are processed by the LLM Agent Core powered by Llama.cpp and a ReAct loop with persistent ...

Climate change and perennial crop production: Evidence of yield impact and adaptation in California

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Perennial crops are economically important. They contribute to food security, providing essential nutrients that are often lacking in annual crops, and provide additional environmental benefits compared with annual crops. Despite their importance, empirical research on the impacts of climate change and adaptation on perennial crops remains ...

Exposure to heat waves and drought improves subsequent leaf heat tolerance for five oak species in southern California

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Given the threats of climate change, we investigated the impact of high temperatures separately and in combination with reduced soil water on leaf heat tolerance for five oaks (Fagaceae) with overlapping ranges in southern California, USA: Quercus agrifolia and Q. chrysolepis (evergreen species), Q. douglasii and Q.

Results from testing heat-recovery accumulator

Many different sources are used for obtaining and supplying heat, which do not require immediately fuel combusting. However, as a rule, such sources do not allow independently controlling an amount of heat to be supplied, while heat consumption is an ...

Hidden in the Labour Market: An Intersectional Latent Class Analysis of Discouraged Workers in Australia

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study employs an intersectionality‐informed latent class analysis (LCA) to examine the hidden diversity of discouraged workers in Australia. Drawing on nationally representative data from the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia Survey, we identified six empirically distinct subgroups defined by intersecting demographic and ...
