where,\({R}^{2}\left(t,s\right)\) is wavelet coherence coefficient; “\(\langle \rangle \)” represents the smoothing function of the wavelet energy spectrum smoothing at both the coordinate scale and the time scale; \({s}^{-1}\) is the conversion factor between the wavelet coherence...
mitigation and climate justice. On the one hand, adaptation against climate impacts must be justified and planned on the basis of an understanding of their future magnitude and spatial distribution9. This is also of importance in the context of climate...
activation of specific strategies to promote the construction of large-scale RES technologies and infrastructure at an optimal national design. In such research context the conducted energy modeling considers social, environmental, and economic criteria to evaluate the available solutions, to order them i...
Climate is the primary factor driving locations for rainfed rice cultivation and rice yields. Hence changes in climate, such as those projected to occur in the future, particularly those related to increased variability in rainfall (Meinshausen et al., 2011), could result in some areas becoming ...
will be independent of the choice of base level, the estimates from the quantile matching procedure are averaged for each factor over all possible contrasts of factor levels. When determining the empirical upper quantile, extreme LFC values (β...
Climate change is expected to significantly impact agricultural production across Africa. While a number of studies assessed this impact in semi-arid southern Africa, or tropical West Africa, only a limited number took interest in the mountainous and cli
In their method, the FCs obtained in multiple pairs of control/test samples are ranked in decreasing order, and the product of the ranks (RP) for each gene is calculated. Combined probabilities p′ are calculated by multiplying the RP values by a scalar factor which is determined using a ...
There is a growing body of literature that examines the role of local governments in addressing climate change vis-à-vis mitigation and adaptation. Although it appears that climate change mitigation strategies - in particular those addressing energy issues - are being adopted by a large majority of...
This highlights the protection of existing carbon stocks as a major NCS solution. Our study includes a few limitations that are important to consider. First, we did not model scenarios that included multiple RCPs. While the choice of RCP is an important factor in the magnitude and timing of ...
This is because the median value of the annual maximum series is strongly correlated with the value at the midpoint. In fact, the index flood, the median value of the annual maximum series as a scale factor in the regional frequency analysis, determines the expectation value of PFEs, and ...
