Bayesian calibration of a flood simulator using binary flood extent observations by M. Balbi, D. C. B. Lallemant

“…We also found that binary data do not have information on the magnitude of the observed process (e.g., flood depths), raising issues in the identifiability of the roughness parameters, and the additive terms of structural deficiency and observation errors. …”

An Interplay of Light and Smoke Compounds in Photoblastic Seeds by Renata Bączek-Kwinta

“…Moreover, the physiological window of KAR’s impact on germination can be narrow due to different depths of primary seed dormancy. Another concern is the mode of action of different smoke sources and formulations (aerosol smoke, smoke-saturated water), or pure smoke chemicals. …”

Relativistic Symmetries of Bosonic Particles and Antiparticles in the Background of the Position-Dependent Mass for the Improved Deformed Hulthen Plus Deformed Type-Hyperbolic Pote... by Abdelmadjid Maireche

“…The new relativistic energy eigenvalues have been derived using the parametric Bopp shift method and standard perturbation theory which is sensitive to the atomic quantum numbers (j,l,s,m), mixed potential depths (V0S0V1S1), the rest, and perturbed mass (m0,m1), the screening parameter's inverse α, and noncommutativity parameters (Θ,τ,χ). …”

Rhyolites in continental mafic Large Igneous Provinces: Petrology, geochemistry and petrogenesis by Mahesh Halder, Debajyoti Paul, Sarajit Sensarma

“…Geochemical signatures suggest rhyolite melt generation in the plagioclase stability field with a minor fraction originating from lower crustal depths. A large part of the compositional variability in rhyolites, particularly the Sr-Nd-Pb-O isotope ratios, suggests a significant role of continental crust (upper crustal melting or AFC) in the evolution of these silicic rocks in the continental mafic LIPs.…”

Substantiation of optimal parameters of horizontal systematic drainage in modern water management and climatic conditions in the south of Ukraine by O. A. Babitska, O. I. Kharlamov, D. P. Savchuk, I. V. Kotykovych, G. V. Voropay

“…Optimization of drainage parameters is to determine such parameters, having which the capital investment in construction would be minimal while ensuring the groundwater level is below critical depths. Based on the research results when calculating the distance between drains, nomograms were made to determine the main parameters of the systems of systematic horizontal drainage of the perfect and imperfect types under different water conditions. …”

Dosimetric evaluation of breast radiotherapy treatments using magnetic valve expansion prostheses by Jéssica Caroline Lizar, Juliana Fernandes Pavoni, Yanai Krutman, Oswaldo Baffa

“…Radiochromic films (Gafchromic EBT2) were used for planar detection inside the prosthesis, around the metal in a plastic phantom that simulates breast geometry filled with water, an insert in the center allowed the placement of the magnet and 2.5 mm thick acrylic layers for film positioning above and below the metal at different depths. The phantom was irradiated with a 3D planning performed in XiO software (CMS RTP) with no heterogeneity correction, using beams of 6 MV and 15MV from the Oncor linear accelerator (Siemens) with a dose of 2Gy. …”

A Tight Interaction between the Native Seagrass <i>Cymodocea nodosa</i> and the Exotic <i>Halophila stipulacea</i> in the Aegean Sea Highlights Seagrass Holobiont Variations by Chiara Conte, Eugenia T. Apostolaki, Salvatrice Vizzini, Luciana Migliore

“…The current study aimed to evaluate the <i>Halophila/Cymodocea</i> competition in the Aegean Sea by analysing each of the two seagrasses in a meadow zone where these intermingled, as well as in their monospecific zones, at two depths. Differences in holobionts were evaluated using seagrass descriptors (morphometric, biochemical, elemental, and isotopic composition) to assess host changes, and 16S rRNA gene to identify bacterial community structure and composition. …”
