Rainfall Insurance: A Promising Tool for Drought Management
"... ABSTRACT Diverse and complex water management systems have been created in many areas of the world to manage the risk of drought. The primary challenge is the inherent uncertainty of water supply and demand over time, which makes the process of correctly allocating water rights annually a difficult ..."

and costly task. As a result, risk averse water authorities make overly conservative estimates of water supply. This paper introduces the use of a rainfall index contract as a tool to improve drought management. An irrigation district in New South Wales, Australia, is used as an illustration of the concept.

Bandera: Extracting Finite-state Models from Java Source Code
- IN PROCEEDINGS OF THE 22ND INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SOFTWARE ENGINEERING
, 2000
"... Finite-state verification techniques, such as model checking, have shown promise as a cost-effective means for finding defects in hardware designs. To date, the application of these techniques to software has been hindered by several obstacles. Chief among these is the problem of constructing a fini ..."

Context-aware applications promise richer and easier interaction, but the current state of research in this field is still far
H: The NMR microscope: a unique and promising tool for plant science
- Ann Bot
"... An outline is given of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) microscopy and its application to plant science. An NMR microscope non-destructively detects free water in tissues and creates anatomical images of the tissues. Since the quantity and mobility of cell-associated water is closely related to the ..."
