DOI: 10.1007/s00190-020-01344-0
Abstract: Satellite-based communications, navigation systems and many scientific instruments rely on observations of trans-ionospheric signals. The quality of these signals can be deteriorated by ionospheric scintillation which can have detrimental effects on the mentioned applications. Therefore,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.oceaneng.2018.05.045
Abstract: Abstract Typhoon-induced waves threaten the coastal areas of Taiwan each year. The roaring waves caused by typhoon Meranti (2016) even destroyed a lighthouse in a fishing port on the southwestern coast of Taiwan. Therefore, there… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-66968-w
Abstract: Although transmission of malaria and other mosquito-borne diseases is geographically heterogeneous, in sub-Saharan Africa risk maps are rarely used to determine which communities receive vector control interventions. We compared outcomes in areas receiving different indoor… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/15230406.2020.1794976
Abstract: ABSTRACT This research examines how people subjectively perceive the disclosure risk of a map using original data collected in an online survey with 856 participants. The results indicate that perceived disclosure risk increases as the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12936-020-03425-z
Abstract: Background Declining malaria prevalence and pressure on external funding have increased the need for efficiency in malaria control in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Modelled Plasmodium falciparum parasite rate ( Pf PR) maps are increasingly becoming available… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0180043
Abstract: Risk maps are spatial models of environmental hazards such as predation on livestock. We tested the long-term validity of a published risk map built from locations where Wisconsin wolves attacked livestock from 1999–2006. Using data… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/tropicalmed8040230
Abstract: To better guide dengue prevention and control efforts, the use of routinely collected data to develop risk maps is proposed. For this purpose, dengue experts identified indicators representative of entomological, epidemiological and demographic risks, hereafter… read more here.
