NowPrecip 2: Precipitation nowcasting in the complex terrain of Switzerland. Part II: Verification

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
In this work we present the verification of the NowPrecip precipitation nowcasting systems (version 1 and version 2). Using 3.5 years of data over the period 2020–2023, their performance is compared with PySTEPS and the ICON numerical weather prediction ensemble by computing deterministic and probabilistic metrics.

Are we misdiagnosing ensemble forecast reliability? On the insufficiency of spread–error and rank‐based reliability metrics

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
We demonstrate that the spread–error relationship, rank histogram, and continuous rank probability score reliability component can falsely indicate reliability under climatological variance biases, yielding ensemble members that are overly or insufficiently extreme.

Global Health Governance Cannot Keep Relying on the Development‐Goals Model to Effectively Address Health Inequalities Around the World

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are nearing their end in 2030, and it is highly unlikely that many of the SDGs would be met by the target date. This calls for the urgent need for an upgraded approach or a new strategy from the “development‐goals” model.

An enhanced thermal conduction model for viscous thermal interactions in circular micro-resonators supported by elastic foundations

Case Studies in Thermal Engineering
This study investigated the effects of thermoelastic coupling on the viscoelastic behavior of Kelvin-Voigt elastic circular plate resonators. The viscoelastic microsheet resonators were modeled as homogeneous, isotropic structures based on the Winkler ...

Fair Markets and Resilient Supply Chains: Designing Sustainable Intermediation for Rural Communities

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Agriculture in Ecuador's communes faces significant economic, social, and environmental challenges, intensified by supply chains dominated by traditional intermediaries. The lack of context‐specific sustainability studies further increases the vulnerability of smallholders.

Low‐Code and No‐Code Tools: A Valuable Aid or a Potential Threat to Professional Developers?

Software: Practice and Experience, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The rapid adoption of low‐code (LC) and no‐code (NC) tools has transformed the software development landscape, offering faster development cycles and enabling non‐programmers to contribute to software creation. Objective This study systematically maps the effects of LC/NC tools on developers, addressing the critical need to ...

Rebound Effects of Digital Textile Microfactories in Fashion, a System Dynamics Study of CO2 Emissions

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The fashion industry's high resource use and globalised supply chains generate environmental degradation through overproduction, waste and pollution. Digital Textile Microfactories (DTMFs) are promoted as a more sustainable alternative because they enable fast, digitalised and often localised production, but lower costs and a greener image may

Tradeoffs between brain and digestive tissues across elevations in Typhlomys daloushanensis: evidence for sexual dimorphism

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
To cope with highly stochastic and/or heterogeneous environmental conditions, animals must balance energy resource allocation across physiological processes. The digestive tract and brain exhibit structural variations under strong developmental and selective pressures that vary across environmental gradients both between and within species.

Eco‐evolutionary dynamics of partially migratory metapopulations in spatially and seasonally varying environments

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Partial seasonal migration is rarely considered in a metapopulation context. Here, Haaland et al. use an eco‐evolutionary model revealing how partially migratory metapopulations may arise and be maintained, and how seasonal migrants may cause effects of local extreme climatic events to percolate through metapopulations across diverging temporal and ...

Closeness and disappointment in Jordanian friendships Proximité et déception en amitié en Jordanie

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Western folk models of friendship assume that friends like one another, implying mutually positive feelings. However, accounts of friendship from across times and places suggest that disappointment goes along with friendship as often as mutual affection.
