The carbon dioxide removal gap by Lamb, WF, Gasser, T, Roman-Cuesta, RM, Grassi, G, Gidden, MJ, Powis, CM, Geden, O, Nemet, G, Pratama, Y, Riahi, K, Smith, SM, Steinhauser, J, Vaughan, NE, Smith, HB, Minx, JC

“…However, the most ambitious proposals for CDR are close to levels in a low-energy demand scenario with the most-limited CDR scaling and aggressive near-term emissions reductions. Further, we observe that many countries propose to expand land-based removals, but none yet commit to substantively scaling novel methods such as bioenergy carbon capture and storage, biochar or direct air carbon capture and storage.…”

First results on a new PIAA coronagraph testbed at NASA Ames by Belikov, R., Pluzhnik, E., Connelley, M. S., Witteborn, F. C., Lynch, D. H., Cahoy, K. L., Guyon, O., Greene, T. P., McKelvey, M. E.

“…For our wavefront control we are focusing on using small Micro-Electro- Mechanical-System deformable mirrors (MEMS DMs), which promises to reduce the size of the beam and overall instrument, a consideration that becomes very important for small telescopes. …”

Study on the mechanical properties of multi jet fusion 3D printed PA12 lattice structures by Lee, Jacob Yong Jin

“…However, MJF and HSS use inkjet-dispensed agents and a heating element while SLS fuses the powder material through the use of a directed laser beam. Products manufactured by MJF feature a good surface finish, good feature resolution, and consistent mechanical properties, making them appealing to consumers. …”

Thermodynamic modelling of adsorption isotherms and kinetics for gas storage and cooling applications by Sun, Baichuan

“…The experimental setup is extensively utilised to measure the amount of methane uptake for the temperatures ranging from 120 K to 303 K and pressures up to 10 bar. The proposed isotherm model is validated with the experimental data of silica gel + water and AQSOA-Z01, Z02, Z05 + water systems, and explains the S-shaped isotherms within acceptable error ranges (±5%), as compared with Langmuir and Toth isotherm equations. …”

Electrical machine fault analysis and modelling by using electromagnetic approach by Zhang, Meng Qi

“…The study in this thesis indicates that the stator inter-turn winding short-circuit fault can also result in irreversi-ble demagnetization for the bar-wounded permanent magnet machines. Moreover, an analytical model is designed to predict winding short-circuit current, which significantly reduce the time required by finite element method to assess machine irreversible demagnetization. …”

Feasibility of healthcare providers' autonomic activation recognition in real-life cardiac surgery using noninvasive sensors by Kennedy-Metz, Lauren R., Bizzego, Andrea, Dias, Roger D., Furlanello, Cesare, Esposito, Gianluca, Zenati, Marco A.

“…A heightened SNS response by the attending anesthesiologist, observed as an LF/HF ratio value of 3.39, was detected prior to the near-miss event. The attending anesthesiologist confirmed a state of significant SNS activity/distress induced by task-irrelevant environmental factors, which led to a temporarily ineffective mental model. …”

Same data, different analysts: variation in effect sizes due to analytical decisions in ecology and evolutionary biology by Gould, E, Fraser, HS, Parker, TH, Nakagawa, S, Griffith, SC, Vesk, PA, Fidler, F, Hamilton, DG, Abbey-Lee, RN, Abbott, JK, Aguirre, LA, Alcaraz, C, Aloni, I, Altschul, D, Arekar, K, Atkins, JW, Atkinson, J, Baker, CM, Barrett, M, Bell, K, Bello, SK, Beltrán, I, Berauer, BJ, Bertram, MG, Wood, A

“…For the blue tit analyses, the average effect was convincingly negative, with less growth for nestlings living with more siblings, but there was near continuous variation in effect size from large negative effects to effects near zero, and even effects crossing the traditional threshold of statistical significance in the opposite direction. …”

Developing a portable, high-speed, low-cost desktop photoacoustic tomography imaging system by Kalva, Sandeep Kumar

“…Usually Nd:YAG-OPO laser is bulky, heavy and needs an optical table to deliver non-fluctuating laser beam and it needs external op- tics (reflectors/prisms) to direct the laser beam onto the sample (there are portable OPO lasers from OpoTek, EKSPLA, and various other companies that do not require optical table but they are more expensive than conventional Nd:YAG-OPO lasers). …”
