The study calculates the average or mean state, change, and rate of changes for each of the ten extreme rainfall events on annual and seasonal (DJF, MAM, JJAS, and OND) timescales. Wet/dry days and spells, as well as rainfall intensity, are defined based on specific criteria and a ...
we used the existing state-of-the-art functions to translate heat stress into labour productivity impacts. Emerging field studies are beginning to provide evidence on the existence of heat stress impacts on productivity at temperatures below 26 °C WBGT2,42,43, also featuring notable disparities...
In India's Uttarakhand state, statistically downscaled general circulation model (GCM) projections showed increases in several extreme precipitation metrics: simple daily intensity index, very wet days, maximum 1-day precipitation, maximum 5-day precipitation, and consecutive wet days; these data were ...
a–d, The cumulative exposure to unprecedented temperatures of all local species populations (that is, species X site aggregated across all sites) increases smoothly over time at the global scale. Global horizon profiles are shown when species are weighted by the inverse of their geographic range ...
status between discrete time periods. The probabilities of the land transition are assumed to be no memory, that is, the future state of land use depends only on the current state of land use, not the previous state (Iacono et al.,2015; Muller & Middleton,1994), or mathematically as ...
Local interaction is sufficient to establish order in a swarm, but does not provide any information about the state of the entire swarm. We believe that the local interaction among neighboring individuals alone is not sufficient to explain the organization of large groups of swarms [27]-[30]; ...

Rates were substantially higher in women, Black adults and APOEε4 carriers, with lifetime risks ranging from approximately 45% to 60% in these populations. The number of US adults who will develop dementia each year was projected to increase from approximately 514,000 in 2020 to approximately ...

Freshwater plastic pollution is critically understudied in Southeast Asia (SEA). Recent modelling studies indicate that SEA rivers contribute vast quantities of plastic to the world’s oceans, however, these fail to capture the complexity of individual systems. We determine the volume of mismanaged pl...
