Disasters, Dictators, and Donors: The Impact of Foreign Aid on Economic Activity (Mis)Reporting
Review of Development Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper examines how governments manipulate economic data to secure more foreign disaster aid. By using nighttime lighting as a reliable measure of economic activity, we make two key findings: (1) foreign disaster aid is positively linked to a country's understatement of its gross domestic product, indicating a deliberate strategy to ...

The ‘lactate paradox’ revisited after 35 years: In memoriam Paolo Cerretelli
Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Some decades ago significant scientific interest was raised by the concept of the ‘lactate paradox’ occurring during altitude acclimatization. In short, in acute hypoxia blood lactate− concentration ([La]b) is higher, compared to normoxia, at any given submaximal work rate, whereas peak [La]b at exhausting exercise is unchanged.

Trusting Machine Learning With Physics: A Fidelity Verification Framework for Complex Systems
Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 6, December 2026.Abstract Neural networks (NN) are embraced to model complex systems based only on data, but their opacity remains a concern. It is unclear whether skill comes from learning physical dependencies or data memorization, which could lead to catastrophic errors.

Unexpected Morphology and Dynamics of Lightning Continuing‐Current Channel as Seen in UV
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 21, 16 November 2026.Abstract Using a high‐speed imaging system operating in UV (290–370 nm) range at the Lightning Observatory in Gainesville (LOG), Florida, we observed, for the first time, what appeared to be lightning channel fragmentation starting <1 ms after the return‐stroke onset.

Heat, Health and Holidays: Reported Heat Related Adjustments to Australian Tourist Behaviour
International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 13, 15 November 2026.This study assessed how climate‐related hazards affect Australian tourists' travel planning. While 80% of tourists report no impact, the 20% who do experience disruption most commonly change their activities, timing, or destination, with heat and rain affecting the same proportion of tourists across beach, city, nature, and family tourism types ...
