ABSTRACT: Tornadoes in Canada frequently impact rural regions, particularly croplands, where traditional enhanced Fujita scale (EF scale) assessments are limited due to the absence of standard damage indicators. Not knowing the true intensities of these tornadoes results in an naccurate tornado climatology for these regions. This study evaluates the potential of the normalized difference vegeta…
ABSTRACT: A gridded wet-bulb globe temperature (WBGT) climatology for the southeastern United States is presented, emphasizing athlete and worker safety thresholds. Hourly WBGT estimates are derived from the land component of the fifth generation European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts atmospheric reanalysis (ERA5-Land) and validated using U.S. Climate Reference Network estimates fro…
This book provides a comprehensive, hands-on guide to building modern web applications using the Laravel framework and PHP. Starting from foundational concepts, it introduces the Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture that underpins Laravel applications, then progressively expands into practical development topics such as routing, Blade templating, and controllers. Readers explore efficient d…
This book provides a comprehensive and accessible introduction to probability theory, statistical methods, and practical data analysis using the R programming language. It begins by establishing the foundations of probability, including random variables, probability distributions, expectations, and key theoretical principles essential for understanding statistical inference. Building on these c…
The Manual for Reductions in the Use of Ozone Depleting Substances offers industries and organizations practical steps to minimize their use of substances that harm the ozone layer. Created by the Japan Industrial Conference for Ozone Layer Protection, this manual presents various strategies, technological alternatives, and policy measures designed to reduce the environmental impact of ozone-de…
The book "Electronic Devices and Circuit Theory" by Robert L. Boylestad and Louis Nashelsky, now in its eleventh edition, provides a comprehensive guide to understanding the principles and applications of electronic components and circuits.

The book "Numerical Simulation of Fluid Motion" by John Noye provides a comprehensive exploration of the techniques and methods used for numerically simulating fluid motion. This book delves into the mathematical foundations and computational approaches required to solve the complex equations that govern fluid dynamics. Focusing on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), Noye examines the use of nu…
This book is specially written for oceanographers, students, and seasoned researchers alike to reveal the huge benefits in learning the ocean from space. Satellite is able to monitor many ocean phenomena (eddies, ocean fronts, upwelling, phytoplankton blooms, ocean surface wave, wind over the sea, ENSO, sea ice distribution, tsunami, etc) and measure their related variables. The combination of …
