TL;DR: Data from the Eurobarometer survey on biotechnology is used to explore the hypothesis that it is not so much the perception of risks as the absence of benefits that is the basis of the widespread rejection of GM foods and crops by the European public.

TL;DR: In this paper, in situ soil moisture data from more than 200 stations located in Africa, Australia, Europe and the United States are used to determine the reliability of three soil moisture products, one analysis from the ECMWF (European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts) numerical weather prediction system (SM-DAS-2) and two remotely sensed soil moisture product, namely ASCAT (Advanced scatterometer) and SMOS (Soil Moisture Ocean Salinity).

TL;DR: In this paper, a triple collocation error estimation technique for assessing the relative quality of several globally available soil moisture products from active (ASCAT) and passive (AMSR-E and SSM/I) microwave sensors is proposed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the soil wetness index (SWI) derived from the Advanced SCATterometer (ASCAT) sensor onboard of the Metop satellite with the soil moisture temporal pattern derived from a continuous rainfall-runoff model (MISDc) to assess its relationship with modeled data.

TL;DR: In this paper, the capabilities of the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiment to explore the rich heavy-ion physics program offered by the LHC are presented, and the potential of the CMS experiment to carry out a series of representative Pb-Pb measurements.
