Forrester’s Evaluative Research: A Matter Of Trust
We’ve been publishing evaluative research at Forrester for over two decades, with a methodology designed to uncover and showcase meaningful differences among the top vendors in the market. As you can imagine, we’re no strangers to heated vendors — including those that have threatened to stop doing business with us, pursued legal action, or slandered our integrity on public platforms — when our evaluation does not position them as a leader. We don’t back down.

Environmental and societal consequences of winter ice loss from lakes
More than half a billion people live near lakes that freeze over in the winter. However, lakes are rapidly losing winter ice cover in response to warming, and the rate of loss has accelerated over the past 25 years. Hampton et al. reviewed the state of seasonal ice cover on lakes and discuss some of the consequences of its disappearance. Ice loss will affect culture, economy, water quality, fisheries, and biodiversity, as well as weather and climate. —Jesse Smith

The Industrialization Of Intelligence Will Drive The Autonomous Enterprise
Today, on the back of already accelerating technology-fueled disruption, the COVID-19 pandemic has propelled us into the future faster than expected. We now stand on the cusp of a new era of transformation — one that will use intelligent systems of automation and systems of insight to reduce the need for people to operate all of a firm’s process or act at the key decision points between processes. This will usher in a wave of truly autonomous enterprises.
Demand-Driven Model for Global Phosphate Rock Suggests Paths for Phosphorus Sustainability
Phosphorus is required as a fertilizer for producing food, and there is no substitute. Losses between mine production and diet result in significant environmental harm.
Stream Transport and Retention of Environmental DNA Pulse Releases in Relation to Hydrogeomorphic Scaling Factors
The DNA of aquatic organisms can be identified in water sampled from freshwater ecosystems to detect species presence. Because these DNA-based methods (termed environmental DNA, eDNA) confirm species presence by proxy of DNA in water, the processes influencing eDNA transport and removal from water are critical to the method’s efficacy and interpretation of results.

A dessert topping? “Digital Transformation” as a term loses meaning when it involves everything under the sun. Over the past few years, we’ve seen companies label anything and everything as “Digital Transformation”. No wonder why DT initiatives meander and stall.
Managing Diffuse Phosphorus at the Source versus at the Sink
Judicious phosphorus (P) management is a global grand challenge and critical to achieving and maintaining water quality objectives while maintaining food production. The management of point sources has been successful in lowering P inputs to aquatic environments, but more difficult is reducing P discharges associated with diffuse sources, such as nonpoint runoff from agriculture and urban landscapes, as well as P accumulated in soils and sediments.
Validation of a lateral flow immunoassay for the rapid determination of aflatoxins in maize by solvent free extraction
The analytical performances of a lateral flow immunoassay (AFLA-V AQUA™, Vicam a Waters Business) for the determination of aflatoxins in maize were evaluated according to Commission Regulation (EU) No. 519/2014. This case study showed how a critical evaluation of validation results can provide a quite informative picture of kit performances for its use for different purposes.
