Estimation of Daily Reference Evapotranspiration from NASA POWER Reanalysis Products in a Hot Summer Mediterranean Climate by Gonçalo C. Rodrigues, Ricardo P. Braga

“…Results show that, when using raw NASA POWER datasets, a good accuracy between the observed ETo and reanalysis ETo was observed in most locations (R² > 0.70). PM shows a tendency to over-estimating ETo with an RMSE as high as 1.41 mm d⁻¹, while using a temperature-based ET estimation method, an RMSE lower than 0.92 mm d⁻¹ is obtained. …”

Synthesis, characterization, and thermal and surface properties of co- and terpolymers based on fluorinated α-methylstyrenes and styrene by Walkowiak-Kulikowska, J, Szwajca, A, Gouverneur, V, Ameduri, B

“…From the extended Kelen–Tüdős (EK–T) linear method, the kinetics of the copolymerizations led to the determination of the reactivity ratios, ri, of both comonomers for each copolymerization system (rFMST = 0.08 ± 0.02 and rST = 0.72 ± 0.04, rTFMST = 0.00 and rST = 0.64 ± 0.01 at 70 °C), showing that F-ST monomers were less reactive than ST and retarded the rate of polymerization, and thus reduced the molecular weights. …”
