To acquire a fundamental understanding of animal communication, continuous observations in a natural setting and at an individual level are required. Whereas the use of animal-borne acoustic recorders in vocal studies remains challenging, light-weight accelerometers can potentially register individuals' vocal output when this coincides with body vi...
Purpose Earned Value Management (EVM) is a project monitoring and control technique that enables the forecasting of a project's duration. Many EVM metrics and project duration forecasting methods have been proposed. However, very few studies have compared their accuracy and stability. Design/methodology/approach This paper presents an exhaustive st...
The authors examined the contrasting factors behind the distinct increases in hot days (HDs, daytime hot extremes) and warm nights (WNs, nighttime hot extremes) over land in the Northern Hemisphere during the boreal summers (June to August) of 1980?2018. While the occurrence of HDs has increased gradually since 1980, that of WNs increased abruptly ...

Extreme precipitation events exhibit an increasing trend for both the frequency and magnitude on global and regional scales and it has already proven the impact of man-made global warming on the extreme precipitation amplification. Based on the observed datasets and global climate model (GCM) output, this study has evaluated the impact from anthrop...

A multimodel analysis indicates that the 2019 September record high number of typhoons affecting South Korea was contributed to mostly by the very strong convection over northwestern India with no discernible anthropogenic contribution. ?2021 American Meteorological Society / 1 / 1 / N / scie / scopus
In light of increasing environmental stress and its likely implications for migration patterns, we conduct a cross-country individual-level analysis of the impact of self-reported exposure to environmental stress on people's migration intentions and their destination choice. We simultaneously model intentions to migrate domestically and internation...
Extreme rainfall events are rare in inland arid regions, but have exhibited an increasing trend in recent years, causing many casualties and substantial socioeconomic losses. A series of heavy rains that began on July 31st, 2018, battered the Hami prefecture of eastern Xinjiang, China for four days. These rains sparked devastating floods, caused 20...

Clothing has a direct influence on the thermal comfort of an occupant and so, indirectly on the energy use of a building. Literary sources point out a lack of data about clothing behaviour in residential buildings. In order to assess the clothing behaviour two kinds of surveys are created: logbook surveys and online questionnaires. Both surveys are...
