Climate and biodiversity in the Andean Dry Puna by Bennett Manzano, M

“…I found no consistent temporal trends in temperature and rainfall, but high inter-annual variation in rainfall associated with El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) effects. Climate and topography affected vegetation productivity (measured as the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index NDVI) in the Dry Puna in various ways. …”

Profiling the dynamics of trust & distrust in social media: A survey study by Zhang, Yixuan, Wang, Yimeng, Yongsatianchot, Nutchanon, Gaggiano, Joseph D., Nurul Mubinah, Suhaimi, Okrah, Anne, Kim, Miso, Griffin, Jacqueline A., Parker, Andrea Grimes

“…Furthermore, participants exhibited varying patterns of trust and distrust across demographic characteristics and platforms. Our results also show that current misinformation interventions helped heighten awareness of misinformation and bolstered trust in social media, but did not alleviate underlying distrust. …”

An interdisciplinary perspective on social and physical determinants of seismic risk by Lin, K.-H. E., Chang, Y.-C., Liu, G.-Y., Lin, T.-H., Yeh, C.-H., Chan, Chung-Han

“…In the context of the 1999 Chi-Chi earthquake in Taiwan, this study constructs three statistical models to test different determinants that affect disaster fatality at the village level, including seismic hazard, exposure of population and fragile buildings, and demographic and socioeconomic vulnerability. The Poisson regression model is used to estimate the impact of these factors on fatalities. …”

Cake formation of bidisperse suspensions in dead-end microfiltration by Han, Qi, Trinh, Thien An, Chew, Jia Wei

“…The evolution of the cake during dead-end microfiltration of different compositions of bidisperse feeds was investigated using network modeling and three-dimensional (3D) optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging. The foulant particles were latex of two different sizes (namely, 3 and 5 µm) and the membrane was polycarbonate track-etched with nominal diameter of 2 µm. …”

Two for tau: automated model discovery reveals two-stage tau aggregation dynamics in Alzheimer’s disease by Stockman, CA, Goriely, A, Kuhl, E, Jerusalem, A, Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative

“…We propose an innovative approach that uses constitutive neural networks to autonomously discover bell-shaped aggregation functions with multiple peaks from clinical positron emission tomography (PET) data of misfolded tau protein. Our method reveals previously overlooked two-stage aggregation dynamics by uncovering a twoterm ordinary differential equation that links the local accumulation rate to the tau concentration. …”
