A stochastic space-time model for intermittent precipitation occurrences [PDF]
, 2015 Modeling a precipitation field is challenging due to its intermittent and highly scale-dependent nature. Motivated by the features of high-frequency precipitation data from a network of rain gauges, we propose a threshold space-time $t$ random field (tRF)

Ecosystem‐Centered Robot Design: Toward Ecoresorbable Sustainability Robots (ESRs)
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Robots exploring natural ecosystems can support monitoring and conservation, but must adopt ecosystem‐centered design to avoid pollution, waste, and damage. This review proposes guidelines for co‐designing ecoresorbable sustainability robots (ESRs), uniting materials, robotics, and ecological contexts in a single framework.

Design of a programmable rainfall simulator [PDF]
1993 (25th) Southeastern Symposium on System Theory, 2002 A programmable controller (PIC) was designed to provide a greater flexibility in rainfall simulator research. The PIC controlled the rainfall simulator using a process control board employing a microprocessor. This control board provided programmable capability previously unavailable in field research. Software to control the system was developed using

Mechanisms producing different precipitation patterns over north‐eastern Italy: insights from HyMeX‐SOP1 and previous events [PDF]
, 2016 During the first HyMeX Special Observation Period (SOP1) field campaign, the target site of north‐eastern Italy (NEI) experienced a large amount of precipitation, locally exceeding the climatological values and distributed among several heavy‐rainfall ...

From Grave to Cradle: Kombucha Waste for Sustainable Electronics
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study introduces a sustainable method to purify kombucha bacterial cellulose (KBC) with sodium bicarbonate and hydrogen peroxide, avoiding harsh chemicals. KBC films are patterned with gold and function as pressure sensors for flatfoot gait detection. At the end‐of‐life, the KBC‐based device biodegrades in soil, leaving environmentally benign gold

A continuous stochastic disaggregation model of rainfall for peak flow simulation in urban hydrologic systems [PDF]
, 2001 In the paper by Durrans et al. (1999), an algorithm proposed by Ormsbee (1989) is recommended for the stochastic disaggregation of hourly rainfall in continuous flow simulation studies of urban hydrologic systems. However, Durrans et al. found that the
