Climate Change Indicators and Spatiotemporal Shift in Monsoon Patterns in Pakistan by Fasiha Safdar, Muhammad Fahim Khokhar, Muhammad Arshad, Iftikhar Hussain Adil

“…A southward spatial shift in monsoon rainfall occurrence (rainfall ≥2.5 mm/day) is observed while an eastward shift in moderate to heavy monsoon rainfall is identified. This study may be helpful for an agricultural country like Pakistan which is heavily dependent on monsoon rainfalls for assessing the impacts of changing monsoon season and to adapt towards changing climate.…”

The impact of data from future lepton colliders on light hadrons fragmentation functions by Bin Zhou, Jun Gao

“…We perform analyses of FFs at NLO by including a wide range of pseudo-data from future lepton colliders, such as measurements on hadron multiplicities in the production of two jets and W boson pairs, at various center of mass energies, and from hadronic decays of the Higgs boson, including both to heavy quarks and to gluons. The high luminosity and high energies of future lepton colliders allow for quark flavor separations and ensure a precise determination of FFs based solely on data from electron-positron collisions. …”

Queensland Fruit Fly, Bactrocera tryoni (Froggatt) (Insecta: Diptera: Tephritidae) by Howard V. Weems, Jr., Thomas R. Fasulo

“…Bactrocera tryoni appears to be almost as destructive to fruit production in its Australian range as the oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis Hendel, is in countries where it appears. A heavy outbreak of B. tryoni in New South Wales during 1940-41 resulted in the rejection of 5 to 25% of citrus at harvest. …”
