Impact of federalization for health financing and workforce in Nepal by Meifang Chen, Dinesh Thapa, Rongxiao Ma, Daniel Weissglass, Hao Li, Biraj Karmachaya

“…On the other hand, financing resource and ability disparities across subnational governments contributes to significant disparities in workforce development, and subnational authorities appear to have underestimated significant health issues (e.g. NCDs) in their budgets. We then provide three recommendations to improve the success of the Nepalese system: (1) to assess whether the services covered by health financing and insurance schemes like the National Health Insurance Program adequately address the needs of the rising burden of NCDs in Nepal, (2) to set clear minimum requirements on key metrics for subnational health systems, and (3) to extend grant programs to address resource disparities.…”

PCBs in the Arctic atmosphere: determining important driving forces using a global atmospheric transport model by Friedman, Carey, Selin, Noelle E

“…We use the model to estimate global budgets for seven PCB congeners, and we demonstrate that congeners that deposit more readily show lower potential for long-range transport, consistent with a recently described "differential removal hypothesis" regarding the hemispheric transport of PCBs. …”

Offshore Transport of Shelf Water by Deep-Ocean Eddies by Brink, K. H., Cherian, Deepak Abraham

“…The rate at which shelf water is exported in these filaments is a major unknown in regional budgets of volume, heat, and salt. This unknown transport is constrained using a series of idealized primitive equation numerical experiments wherein a surface-intensified anticyclonic eddy interacts with idealized shelf–slope topography. …”

Abiotic redox reactions in hydrothermal mixing zones: Decreased energy availability for the subsurface biosphere by McDermott, Jill M, Sylva, Sean P, Ono, Shuhei, German, Christopher R, Seewald, Jeffrey S

“…Shifts in the abundance of redox-reactive species in diffuse fluids are often interpreted to reflect the direct influence of subseafloor microbial activity on fluid geochemical budgets. Here, we examine hydrothermal fluids venting at 44 to 149 °C at the Piccard hydrothermal field that span the canonical 122 °C limit to life, and thus provide a rare opportunity to study the transition between habitable and uninhabitable environments. …”

Efficient spectrum sensing for aeronautical LDACS using low-power correlators by Shreejith, Shanker, Mathew, Libin K., Prasad, Vinod A., Fahmy, Suhaib A.

“…Cognitive radio-based approaches have also been proposed for LDACS to improve spectrum efficiency and communication capacity; however, these require intelligent compute capability in aircrafts that enforce limited space and power budgets. This paper proposes the use of multiplierless correlation to enable spectrum sensing in LDACS air-to-ground links, and its integration into the on-board LDACS system. …”
