A Quantum-Empowered SPEI Drought Forecasting Algorithm Using Spatially-Aware Mamba Network [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Due to the intensifying impacts of extreme climate changes, drought forecasting (DF), which aims to predict droughts from historical meteorological data, has become increasingly critical for monitoring and managing water resources. Though drought conditions often exhibit spatial climatic coherence among neighboring regions, benchmark deep learning ...

Industrial Development, Poverty Reduction, and Inequality: A Robustness Test Using Nighttime Lights in Vietnam

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the interplay between sectoral growth compositions, initial inequality, and poverty reduction in Vietnam during the 2000s, utilizing disaggregated provincial‐level data. The analysis focuses on the differential impacts of industrial and agricultural sector growth on poverty alleviation while also assessing the moderating ...

Monitoring of a multi‐span prestressed concrete bridge using satellite interferometric data and comparison with on‐site sensor results

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Satellite‐based Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry (InSAR) represents a promising supplement to traditional Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) methods, offering a non‐invasive solution that eliminates the need for sensor installations and provides extensive spatial coverage.

Fearfulness of geese and swans on cropland in winter: a multi‐species flight initiation distance approach

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Geese and swans are focal species in conservation and in management aimed at reducing crop damage. In the former disturbance should be minimized, and in the latter it is important to know how different species react to scaring activities. Previous research about trade‐off between predation risk and foraging in birds often uses ‘flight initiation ...

Precipitation and female experience are major determinants of the breeding performance of Canarian houbara bustards

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Precipitation is one of the main triggers of reproduction in desert‐breeding birds. The unpredictability of rainfall patterns in arid environments has led species to adapt their breeding effort to episodes of abundant food after rainfall. The response is not the same for all individuals in a population, and may vary especially with the age and ...

Bimodal nesting season in Karoo dwarf tortoises (Chersobius boulengeri)

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Tortoises in arid, unpredictable regions may use a bet‐hedging strategy of regularly laying small clutches regardless of actual environmental conditions, so that some hatchlings will emerge when conditions are favourable. Karoo dwarf tortoises (Chersobius boulengeri) are endangered in their arid, unpredictable range in South Africa, yet studies of ...
