Earth's Future, Volume 13, Issue 4, April 2025.Abstract Climate change is expected to intensify the global water cycle, affecting land‐atmosphere feedbacks and surface water availability. This leads to prolonged droughts and excessive heat events, increasing vulnerability of cities to water scarcity and extreme heat.

Cognitive appraisals affect both embodiment of thermal sensation and its mapping to thermal evaluation [PDF]
, 2016 The physical environment leads to a thermal sensation that is perceived and appraised by occupants. The present study focuses on the relationship between sensation and evaluation. We asked 166 people to recall a thermal event from their recent past. They

GeoHealth, Volume 9, Issue 4, April 2025.Abstract The increasing threat of heat stress poses significant risks to human health globally. To quantify heat exposure more effectively, integrated heat stress indicators (HSIs) have been developed to simplify the classification of heat stress severity and assist in public heat warnings. However, their ability to accurately predict daily heat stroke

Local likelihood estimation of truncated regression and its partial derivatives: theory and application [PDF]
, 2006 In this paper we propose a very flexible estimator in the context of truncated regression that does not require parametric assumptions. To do this, we adapt the theory of local maximum likelihood estimation.

A Linear Sensitivity Framework to Understand the Drivers of the Wet‐Bulb Globe Temperature Changes
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 130, Issue 5, 16 March 2025.Abstract Better understanding of the physical drivers of sufficiently realistic representation of human heat stress is crucial for improving prediction and enhancing preparedness. Wet‐bulb globe temperature (WBGT) is a standard metric for workplace heat stress; however, its calculation involves complex parameterizations of radiative and convective ...

Verifiable conditions of $\ell_1$-recovery of sparse signals with sign restrictions
, 2010 We propose necessary and sufficient conditions for a sensing matrix to be "s-semigood" -- to allow for exact $\ell_1$-recovery of sparse signals with at most $s$ nonzero entries under sign restrictions on part of the entries.
