Alternative credit scoring for the un(der)banked by Elrakabawy, S

“…I show that machine-learning yields substantial above chance probabilities in estimating credit risk, and I also manage to reduce the feature set dimensionality (i.e. credit request steps) by 96 percent at near-identical prediction performance, which translates to a quasi-single-question credit request. …”

Metasomatism of the continental crust and its impact on surface uplift: insights from reactive‐transport modelling by Worthington, JR, Chin, EJ, Palin, RM

“…Although orogenic surface-uplift mechanisms for modern continental plateaus near known plate margins like Tibet are well-characterized, they cannot account for examples in intracontinental settings like the Colorado Plateau. …”

Estimating global demand for land-based transportation services using the shared socioeconomic pathways scenario framework by Nkiriki, J, Jaramillo, P, Williams, N, Davis, A, Armanios, DE

“…After 2030, there is an ascendancy in transport demand in South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, whereby the cumulative demand share of these two regions reaches near parity with that of East Asia by 2050. Sustainably meeting this growing demand will require the adoption of data-driven transport planning tools and leveraging cross-linkages across other energy sectors such as electricity.…”

A diminished large carnivore guild with contrasting species-habitat associations persists outside national parks in Namibia's central-eastern landscape by Verschueren, S, Hofmann, T, Briers-Louw, WD, Kakove, M, Leirs, H, Bauer, H, Marker, L, Cristescu, B

“…African wild dogs (Lycaon pictus) were more common near their resident population eastwards and in areas of greater vegetation productivity. …”

Protein delivery options: how well have we succeeded? by Ng, Xu Wen, Subbu, Venkatraman

“…Another antibody, Avastin®, indicated for bowel cancer, accounted for $6.7 billion among these top-selling drugs, while Herceptin®, used to treat breast cancer, had sales of $6.6 billion. These numbers bear eloquent testimony to the increasing demand for protein therapeutics. …”

Hidden order beyond hyperuniformity in critical absorbing states by Zheng, Yuanjian, Parmar, Anshul D. S., Ciamarra, Massimo Pica

“…Disordered hyperuniformity is a description of hidden correlations in point distributions revealed by an anomalous suppression in fluctuations of local density at various coarse-graining length scales. In the absorbing phase of models exhibiting an active-absorbing state transition, this suppression extends up to a hyperuniform length scale that diverges at the critical point. …”

Coherent perfect absorption in deeply subwavelength films in the single-photon regime by Roger, Thomas, Vezzoli, Stefano, Bolduc, Eliot, Valente, Joao, Heitz, Julius J. F., Jeffers, John, Soci, Cesare, Leach, Jonathan, Couteau, Christophe, Zheludev, Nikolay I., Faccio, Daniele

“…We show that while the absorption of photons from a travelling wave is probabilistic, standing wave absorption can be observed deterministically, with nearly unitary probability of coupling a photon into a mode of the material, for example, a localized plasmon when this is a metamaterial excited at the plasmon resonance. …”

A Lagrangian perspective on the lifecycle and radiative effect of deep convective clouds by Jones, WK

“…Anvil clouds over tropical Africa are found to have a net cloud radiative effect (CRE) of anvil clouds over Africa of –0.94 ± 0.91 Wm−2, confirming the near zero net effect seen in previous studies. Despite the net effect being near neutral, individual DCCs exhibit wide variance in their CRE across the diurnal cycle and it is only through the balance of day- and night-time convection that the net effect is achieved. …”
