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. …”

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. …”

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.…”
