Addendum to Understanding risks in the light of uncertainty: low-probability, high-impact coastal events in cities
(IOP Publishing, 2018)
This addendum adds to the analysis presented in Understanding risks in the light of uncertainty: low-probability, high-impact coastal events in cities Abadie et al (2017 Environ. Res. Lett . 12 [https://doi.org/10.1088 ...
Application of model updating techniques to turbomachinery rotor components
(Sage, 2019-07-12)
Model updating techniques are commonly used to improve simulation accuracy. Experimental data of component testing under laboratory conditions are normally used to improve analytical predictions of that component under ...
Enhanced precision bound of low-temperature quantum thermometry via dynamical control
(Nature, 2019-12-13)
High-precision low-temperature thermometry is a challenge for experimental quantum physics and quantum sensing. Here we consider a thermometer modeled by a dynamically-controlled multilevel quantum probe in contact with a ...
Institutional challenges in putting ecosystem service knowledge in practice
(Elsevier, 2018)
The promise that ecosystem service assessments will contribute to better decision-making is not yet proven. We analyse how knowledge on ecosystem services is actually used to inform land and water management in 22 case ...
Heat stress risk in European dairy cattle husbandry under different climate change scenarios-uncertainties and potential impacts
(EGU Publications, 2019)
In the last decades, a global warming trend was observed. Along with the temperature increase, modifications in the humidity and wind regime amplify the regional and local impacts on livestock husbandry. Direct impacts ...
Implementation of NeoKissEs in Spain: A validated surveillance system for nosocomial sepsis in very low birth weight infants
(Doyma, 2019-07)
[EN] Background: Bloodstream infections (BSIs) are the most frequent nosocomial infections in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), especially in very low birth weight (VLBW) infants (birth weight <= 1500g). An epidemiologic ...
Measurements of the branching fractions B(B- -> (Lambda)over-bar(c)(-)Xi'(0)(c)), B(B- -> (Lambda)over-bar(c)(-)Xi(c )(2645)(0)) and B(B- -> (Lambda)over-bar(c)(-)Xi(c)(2790)(0))
(American Chemical Society, 2019-12-30)
Using the data sample of 711 fb(-1) of Upsilon(4S) on-resonance data taken by the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy electron-positron collider, we present the first measurements of branching fractions of the ...
Reconciling global-model estimates and country reporting of anthropogenic forest CO 2 sinks
(Springer, 2018)
Achieving the long-term temperature goal of the Paris Agreement requires forest-based mitigation. Collective progress towards this goal will be assessed by the Paris Agreement s Global stocktake. At present, there is a ...
A new approach for assessing natural patterns of flow variability and hydrological alterations: The case of the Spanish rivers
(Elsevier, 2019)
Ensuring water is available for human use usually requires dams and reservoirs that severely affect river ecosystems. Hydrological alteration by river damming represents one of the most prominent human impacts on freshwater ...
Responses of sub-Saharan smallholders to climate change: Strategies and drivers of adaptation
(Elsevier, 2018)
Rural farm households in sub-Saharan Africa are vulnerable to climate variability due to their limited adaptive capacity. This paper explores how adaptation strategies are adopted by small-holders in sub-Saharan Africa as ...
