Although the Tropical Rainfall Measurement Mission (TRMM) has come to an end, the evaluation of TRMM satellite precipitation is still of great significance for the improvement of the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM). In this paper, the hydrological utility of TRMM Multi-satellite Precipitation Analysis (TMPA) 3B42 RTV7/V7 precipitation products was evaluated using the variable infiltration c

Methane emissions from natural wetlands tend to increase with temperature and therefore may lead to a positive feedback under future climate change. However, their temperature response includes confounding factors and appears to differ on different time scales. Observed methane emissions depend strongly on temperature on a seasonal basis, but if the annual mean emissions are compared between sites

This paper introduces the new ForestValue research project CLICKdesign – delivering fingertip knowledge to enable service life performance specification of wood. This European consortium is working on the primary innovation to move from the complex, fragmented and general to the easy-to-use, consolidated and specific by provision of an accessible digital tool for specifiers. Competing materials ta

Recent developments in photonics include efficient nanoscale optoelectronic components and novel methods for subwavelength light manipulation. Here, we explore the potential offered by such devices as a substrate for neuromorphic computing. We propose an artificial neural network in which the weighted connectivity between nodes is achieved by emitting and receiving overlapping light signals inside

We measured the Coulomb dissociation of 16O into 4He and 12C at the R3B setup in a first campaign within FAIR Phase 0 at GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung, Darmstadt. The goal was to improve the accuracy of the experimental data for the 12C(a,?)16O fusion reaction and to reach lower center-ofmass energies than measured so far. The experiment required beam intensities of 109 16O ions pe

School bullying among young adolescents is a globally pervasive problem, but is less common when bystanders are motivated to defend victims. Thus, the focus of this experimental study is on motivation to defend victims of bullying. Methods: 388 students (Mage = 12.22 years, 49.7% girls) from two Turkish public schools (5th to 8th grade) participated in a vignette experiment. Students were randomiz

Objective: To identify predictors of prediabetes using feature selection and machine learning on a nationally representative sample of the US population. Materials and methods: We analyzed n = 6346 men and women enrolled in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2013-2014. Prediabetes was defined using American Diabetes Association guidelines. The sample was randomly partitioned to Objective: To identify predictors of prediabetes using feature selection and machine learning on a nationally representative sample of the US population.

The largest part of this collection is linguistic material, including video-recorded conversations and narratives, elicited words and sentences, a lexicon, and recordings of people interacting with different stimulus materials like picture books or short video clips. A large part of the audiovisual and elicited material is translated into English and Papuan Malay and analysed at morpheme level. In

This is a small collection of linguistic materials in Geser-Gorom (ISO639-3:ges), a language spoken in eastern Seram and on the islands off the eastern Seram coast, Seram Bagian Timur regency, Maluku province, Indonesia (-3.717798, 130.767276).All recordings were made in Mas village, Karas islands, Fakfak regency, West Papua province, Indonesia, which has several Geser-Gorom speakers and at the ti

This is a small collection of linguistic material in Uruangnirin (ISO639-3:urn), a language spoken on the two eastern Karas Islands, in the villages Tarak, Tuburuasa, Faur and Kiaba, Fakfak regency, West-Papua province, Indonesia (-3.424480, 132.744455).Lexicon and a grammar questionnaire collected in 2018 and 2019 (Uruangnirin_collection) when the researcher was working on the other language of t

Though poetry analysis is a central component of literary studies in higher education, research frequently reports that attitudes of both students and teachers to its incorporation in syllabi are mixed (Weaven & Clark, 2014). Previous research suggests a complex relationship between attitudes to and knowledge of poetry with some studies indicating that negative attitudes might be the result of

Nanowires are widely considered to be key elements in future disruptive electronics and photonics. This paper presents the first detailed study of transport mechanisms in single-crystalline InAs nanowires synthesized by a cheap solvothermal wet chemical method. From detailed analyses of temperature-dependent current-voltage characteristics, it was observed that contacted nanowires operate in a lin
