Trends and Variability in Earth’s Energy Imbalance and Ocean Heat Uptake Since 2005 by Hakuba, Maria Z., Fourest, Sébastien, Boyer, Tim, Meyssignac, Benoit, Carton, James A., Forget, Gaël, Cheng, Lijing, Giglio, Donata, Johnson, Gregory C., Kato, Seiji, Killick, Rachel E., Kolodziejczyk, Nicolas, Kuusela, Mikael, Landerer, Felix

“…Products that either more regularly observe (satellites) or fill in situ data-sparse regions based on additional physical knowledge (some reanalysis and hybrid products) tend to track radiometric EEI variability better than purely in situ-based OHC products. This paper also examines zonal trends in TOA radiative fluxes and the impact of data gaps on trend estimates. …”

Mechanisms and Implementation of Thermo-Optical Annealing in Silica Fiber Sensors for Radiation-Induced Attenuation Mitigation by Legoupil, Aurelien Y. M.

“…We design a white light absorption spectroscopy setup with in-situ irradiation and optical annealing, working at liquid nitrogen temperature and different post-irradiation warm-up rates. For the pure silica core and F-doped cladding fibers studied, the RIA spectrum obtained is decomposed into known radiation-induced defect absorption bands, highlighting the key role of self-trapped holes in RIA at telecommunication wavelengths. …”

Between City and Self: Reading Beirut in Mohamed Soueid’s Tango of Yearning by Anouti, Ghida

“…Directed by underground Lebanese filmmaker Mohamed Soueid (b. 1959) and shot purely on video, the film is saturated with cinematic references, images of urban sites, sensual and religious symbols, and sociopolitical intimations. …”

Multifidelity Methods for Design of Transition MetalComplexes by Janet, Jon Paul

“…The utility of this surrogate-assisted approach is evident and orders-of-magnitude accelerations are obtained over screening purely with DFT. Such strategies open the door for in silico design of some of the most challenging molecular systems at a far greater scale than ever before.…”

Fabrication and testing of composites with oriented microstructures by Balane, Gadil Veronica Yvonne

“…Optimum slurry concentration was determined by firstly deciding on the optimum PVDF concentration, which was identified to be 10wt% PVDF after visual inspection of pure PVDF films. Secondly, the BN concentration was varied to produce slurries of 20wt%, 30wt%, 40wt%, 45wt%, and 50wt% mBN. …”

Biologically inspired visual intelligence for unmanned ground vehicles by Peyman Moghadam

“…Human drivers effectively navigate through most outdoor unstructured environments purely based on their visual inputs. The human visual system has a capability to learn and adapt to its surrounding environment robustly despite the complexity possessed by ground cover variations, uncontrolled lighting, weather conditions, and shadows. …”

李商隐诗歌的伤春主题 = The theme of "sentiment for spring" in Li Shang-yin's poetry by 郭欣瑜 Kerk, Sin Yee

“…In my opinion, Li Shang-yin’s sentiment for spring is not purely for the end of the spring season itself, but it is also about his self-realization and pursuits for his personal life, career and for the country.…”

g-C3N4/ZnO hybrid material as photocatalyst for photocatalytic CO2 reduction by Hu, Zhaoning

“…The gas performance test results show this hybrid material has much larger CO and CH4 yield rate compared to clean ZnO nanowire and pure g-C3N4. Further study could concentrate on exploring the detailed mechanism in g-C3N4 synthesizing process, finding the optimal amount of g-C3N4 in the hybrid material and trying alternative g-C3N4 synthesizing method to grow g-C3N4 on other ZnO morphologies to get better photocatalytic CO2 reduction performance.…”

Influence of the exchange symmetry beyond the exclusion principle by Tennie, F

“…The Pauli exclusion principle provides a set of necessary and sufficient conditions for the <em>N</em>-representability of fermionic 1-RDOs. However, pure <em>N</em>-representability requires a set of stricter conditions which are known as Generalised Pauli constraints (GPCs).…”
