Gli esploratori della Terra

GEOmedia, 2010
Earth’s explorers As if in the need to underline that much is still to be discovered about our own planet, the Earth Explorers missions of ESA, the European Space Agency, are part of an intense research  programme called Living Planet.

Prediction at harvest and detection at the ready‐to‐eat stage of internal black flesh severity in mangoes using portable Vis–NIR spectroscopy

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Although previous studies have demonstrated that visible–near infrared (Vis–NIR) spectroscopy can accurately predict black flesh incidence at harvest and detect the disorder in ready‐to‐eat mango fruit, its ability to discriminate among severity levels has not yet been established.

The FGF/FGFR System in the Biology and Therapeutic Landscape of Pediatric CNS Tumors

Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Central nervous system (CNS) tumors are the most common solid malignancies in children, comprising a highly heterogeneous group of neoplasms defined by distinct molecular alterations and clinical behaviors. Advances in molecular genetics have underscored the relevance of specific signaling pathways in driving pediatric tumorigenesis, among ...

The Impact of SMOS Soil Moisture Data Assimilation within the Operational Global Flood Awareness System (GloFAS)

Remote Sensing, 2020
In this study the impacts of Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) soil moisture data assimilation upon the streamflow prediction of the operational Global Flood Awareness System (GloFAS) were investigated.

An urban evolved invasive plant tolerates experimental climate change

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Urbanization may drive invasive species evolution, resulting in greater invasion risks as global conditions change. We compared urban populations of the invasive Erigeron annuus in Zagreb, Croatia, to surrounding rural populations and found that urban‐evolved populations were more tolerant of experimental warming and drought than rural populations ...

Aboveground herbivory elevates belowground rhizosphere volatile organic compound concentrations in ambient and polluted air, independent of volatile sampling methodology

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The effect of air pollution on plants is still underexplored, especially belowground. We used a field facility that released diesel exhaust and ozone at concentrations equivalent to those near a busy road in Reading, UK, to measure belowground gas exchange of Scots pine together with feeding by large pine weevils, a major pest of conifers.

Estimating the uncertainties of satellite derived soil moisture at global scale

Science of Remote Sensing
This study attempts to derive the uncertainty of the soil moisture estimation from passive microwave satellite mission at global scale. To do so, the approach is based on the sensitivity of the Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) soil moisture ...

Revisiting bare‐ground evaporation in a high‐resolution numerical weather prediction system

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
An improved method is proposed to parameterize evaporation in numerical weather prediction models. The figure shows dew‐point temperature forecast error (standard deviation of forecast error and bias) versus lead time over the North Plains region during spring 2022 for three parameterizations: CTL, the α$$ \alpha $$ method of Jacquemin and Noilhan; IFS:

Sliding Mode Control in Aerospace Applications: A Survey

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sliding mode control (SMC) enjoys robustness to matched and unmatched (in the case of minimum phase input‐output dynamics) bounded perturbations, and finite time convergence. Second‐order and higher‐order sliding mode control systems (2‐SMC/HOSMC) retain all the advantages of sliding mode control, but in addition can be applied to systems of ...

Noise Mitigation of the SMOS L1C Multi-Angle Brightness Temperature Based on the Lookup Table

Remote Sensing
Owing to the inherently lower sensitivity of microwave aperture synthesis radiometers (ASRs), Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) satellite brightness temperature (TB) measurements exhibit significantly greater system noise than real-aperture ...
