Mars atmospheric CO2 condensation above the north and south poles as revealed by radio occultation, climate sounder, and laser ranging observations by Cahoy, Kerri, Zuber, Maria, Hu, R. Y.

“…We study the condensation of CO2 in Mars' atmosphere using temperature profiles retrieved from radio occultation measurements from Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) as well as the climate sounding instrument onboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO), and detection of reflective clouds by the MGS Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA). We find 11 events in 1999 where MGS temperature profiles indicate CO2 condensation and MOLA simultaneously detects reflective clouds. …”

Generalized neural closure models with interpretability by Gupta, Abhinav, Lermusiaux, Pierre F. J.

“…Our learned <jats:italic>g</jats:italic>nCMs discover missing physics, find leading numerical error terms, discriminate among candidate functional forms in an interpretable fashion, achieve generalization, and compensate for the lack of complexity in simpler models. …”

All-sky, all-frequency directional search for persistent gravitational waves from Advanced LIGO’s and Advanced Virgo’s first three observing runs by Sudhir, Vivishek

“…We perform the search at 3072 HEALPix equal area pixels uniformly tiling the sky and in every frequency bin of width 1 / 32     Hz in the range 20–1726 Hz, except for bins that are likely to contain instrumental artefacts and hence are notched. We do not find any statistically significant evidence for the existence of narrowband gravitational-wave signals in the analyzed frequency bins. …”

Modelling entrainment volume due to surface-parallel vortex interactions with an air–water interface by Hendrickson, Kelli, Yu, Xiangming, Yue, Dick K.P.

“…For 𝐹𝑟2Ξ > 𝐹𝑟2Ξ 𝑐𝑟 , the average initial entrainment ∀𝑜 scales linearly with (𝐹𝑟2Ξ − 𝐹𝑟2Ξ 𝑐𝑟 ). We also find that ∀𝑜 is linearly dependent on circulation Weber number 𝑊𝑒Γ for a range of vortex Bond number 5 ≲ 𝐵𝑜Γ ≲ 50, and parabolically dependent on circulation Reynolds 𝑅𝑒Γ for 𝑅𝑒Γ ≲ 2580. …”

Exploring green gentrification in 28 global North cities: the role of urban parks and other types of greenspaces by Triguero-Mas, Margarita, Anguelovski, Isabelle, Connolly, James J T, Martin, Nick, Matheney, Austin, Cole, Helen V S, Pérez-Del-Pulgar, Carmen, García-Lamarca, Melissa, Shokry, Galia, Argüelles, Lucía, Conesa, David, Gallez, Elsa, Sarzo, Blanca, Beltrán, Miguel Angel, López Máñez, Jesúa, Martínez-Minaya, Joaquín, Oscilowicz, Emilia, Arcaya, Mariana C, Baró, Francesc

“…More than half of our models showed that parks—together with other factors such as proximity to the city center—are positively associated with gentrification processes, particularly in the US context, except in historically Black disinvested postindustrial cities with lots of vacant land. We also find than in half of our models newly designated nature preserves are negatively associated with gentrification processes, particularly when considering gentrification throughout the 2000s and the 2010s and in the US. …”

Understanding Indexing Efficiency for Approximate Nearest Neighbor Search in High-dimensional Vector Databases by Qin, Yuting

“…One of the most promising ANN indexing approaches is the graphbased approach, which first constructs a proximity graph on the dataset, connecting pairs of vectors that are close to each other, then traverse the proximity graph for each query to find the closest vectors to a query vector. The search performance, in terms of the scope of traversal that leads to convergence, is highly dependent on the quality of the graph. …”

Quantitative Modeling for Guiding the Transition to Low-Carbon Logistics by Lehmann, Jonas

“…We propose a stochastic programming model to account for uncertainty in fixed and variable costs and the associated risk of stranded assets given the dynamic developments of low-emission technologies. We find that incorporating cost uncertainty captures a broader range of future technology pathways, and dynamically adjusting fleet transition strategies may offer advantages over static, deterministic approaches.…”

Designing Electricity Distribution Network Tariffs for Beneficial Electrification by Turk, Graham

“…We use open-source data on household electricity consumption and travel behavior. We find that beyond very low adoption levels, time-of-use per-kWh network tariffs, which several states have adopted as the default, perform poorly on all metrics and lead to large increases in local peak demand. …”

Quantifying the effects of sunlight on the fate of oil spilled at sea by Freeman, Danielle Haas

“…First, I focused on how sunlight generates water-soluble compounds from oil, which can lead to the dissolution of oil-derived compounds in seawater (photo-dissolution; Chapter 2). To find out whether photo-dissolution could be an important fate process during an oil spill, I used a combination of experiments and photochemical rate modeling to calculate photo-dissolution rates for the 2010 Deepwater Horizon spill (DwH) in the Gulf of Mexico (GoM). …”

Two complementary features of humoral immune memory confer protection against the same or variant antigens by Van Beek, Matthew, Nussenzweig, Michel C, Chakraborty, Arup K

“…We developed a computational model to study how humoral memory is recalled upon reinfection or booster vaccination. We find that upon reexposure to the same antigen, affinity-dependent selective expansion of available memory B cells outside GCs (extragerminal center compartments [EGCs]) results in a rapid response made up of the best available antibodies. …”
