Measurement and modeling of diffuse ultraviolet radiation: A review

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
Solar UV radiation consists of direct and diffuse UV components. The diffuse component contributes to the exposure received by humans and to the risk of skin cancer and sun‐related eye disorders. This review aims to determine future research directions for the measurement and modeling of diffuse solar UV radiation.

Sir and Guys in 20th‐ and 21st‐Century American English

World Englishes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the diachronic development of formal and informal address and reference terms in American English as an effect of democratization using the COHA corpus (1900–2020). In focus are two address/reference terms with especially drastic frequency trends in the timespan investigated: the honorific sir, which declines sharply from ...

Interannual Variations of TOA Albedo over the Arctic, Antarctic and Tibetan Plateau in 2000–2019

Remote Sensing, 2020
Recent changes in Earth’s climate system have significantly affected the radiation budget and its year-to-year variations at top of the atmosphere (TOA). Observing high-latitude TOA fluxes is still challenging from space, because spatial inhomogeneity of

Admixture Mapping Reveals Candidate Regions for Methotrexate Neurotoxicity Susceptibility: A Reducing Disparities in Acute Leukemia Consortium Report

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, Volume 73, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Neurotoxicity is a rare, often dose‐limiting adverse effect of methotrexate (MTX) therapy that disproportionally affects Latino children. Factors contributing to the observed disparity are not well understood. This study leveraged admixture mapping to identify genetic regions associated with MTX‐related neurotoxicity susceptibility ...

A Mechanism for Analyzing the Energy Consumption and Environmental Impact of LoRa Sensors Over Time

International Journal of Communication Systems, Volume 39, Issue 15, October 2026.
An SPN‐based mechanism, validated against NS‐3 with MAPE below 0.3%, reveals how packet generation rate and spreading factor shape LoRa sensor lifetime, energy consumption, and operational CO2$$ {}_2 $$ emissions, supporting sustainable planning of large‐scale IoT deployments. ABSTRACT Long Range (LoRa) sensors are widely adopted in Internet of Things (

Contributions to TOA-based location with wlan

, 2023
Location techniques that satisfy the requirements of advanced Location-Based Services (LBS) in environments where GPS fails are needed, therefore accurate indoor positioning is becoming increasingly important. This PhD Thesis is devoted to the research on location of mobile devices employing WLAN (IEEE 802.11). The use of this kind of wireless networks

Spaceborne Far‐Infrared Signal Simulations Over the Antarctic Plateau With Temperature‐Dependent Ice Cloud Optical Properties

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 17, 16 September 2026.
Abstract Longwave cloud radiative effects significantly influence variability in global and regional Earth systems. However, there have been very few, if any, measurements of the far‐infrared (FIR) radiation over the polar regions, where about half of the outgoing longwave radiation is in the FIR spectrum. This motivated the Polar Radiant Energy in the
