Evaluation of wind resource uncertainty on energy production estimates for offshore wind farms by Klemmer, Kerry S, Condon, Emily P, Howland, Michael F

“…Error and uncertainty from the TI and data sources are quantified through forward analysis using an analytical wake model. We find that the impact of TI error on AEP predictions is negligible, while data source uncertainty results in 0.4%–3.7% uncertainty over feasible candidate hub heights for offshore wind farms, which can exceed interannual variability.…”

Modeling the Impact of the Inflation Reduction Act and Hydrogen Storage in Salt Caverns in the Mid-Atlantic United States by Armstrong, Les Gabriel

“…We then analyze the impact of the Inflation Reduction Act and the presence of salt caverns on the United States Mid- Atlantic region in the year 2035. We find that salt caverns do not have a significant impact on the overall coupled energy system dynamics unless we force a 100% decarbonization constraint. …”

Characterizing Cortex-Hippocampus Interactions During Language Processing by Lee, Jiachen Elizabeth

“…Lastly, we leverage an encoding-model-guided procedure to search through a large set of sentences to identify those that are predicted to maximally differentiate responses in the cortical and hippocampal language areas. We find that cortical language areas are largely driven by surprisal, while hippocampal language areas display preferences towards more imageable and concrete sentences.…”

The algebraic K-theory of the chromatic filtration and the telescope conjecture by Levy, Ishan

“…Using this and an extension of the Dundas--Goodwillie--McCarthy theorem to —1-connective ring spectra, we obtain a formula for the algebraic K-theory of the K(1)-local sphere in terms of topological cyclic homology of a ring spectrum j_zeta, and in particular find that its algebraic K-groups are not all finitely generated. …”

Dimers, Trimers and their Superpositions in a Bose-Fermi Mixture by Chuang, Alexander

“…We report a novel direct observation of a heteronuclear halo trimer, consisting of two lighter Na atoms and one heavier K atom, alongside the familiar NaK Feshbach dimer, using radiofrequency (rf) spectroscopy. We find that in proximity to a Feshbach resonance, the trimer feature closely follows the dimer resonance across an order-of-magnitude variation in binding energy. …”

The Efficacy of Different Analysis Algorithms for Summarizing Online Deliberations by Venkat, Naveen

“…Through a randomized controlled trial of all three approaches using a nationally representative sample, we compare their practical effectiveness, as measured by participants’ subjective experiences regarding how well these summaries represent their concerns. We find that the computational social choice-inspired algorithm consistently outperforms Polis’s current methods in this regard, though future theoretical work is still needed to fully adapt this approach to a real-world setting.…”

Electric field induced associations in the double layer of salt-in-ionic-liquid electrolytes by Markiewitz, Daniel M, Goodwin, Zachary AH, McEldrew, Michael, Pedro de Souza, J, Zhang, Xuhui, Espinosa-Marzal, Rosa M, Bazant, Martin Z

“…At positive voltages, we find that the SiIL actually becomes more aggregated while screening the electrode charge from the formation of large, negatively charged aggregates. …”

Theory of Layered-Oxide Cathode Degradation in Li-ion Batteries by Oxidation-Induced Cation Disorder by Zhuang, Debbie, Bazant, Martin Z

“…The general theory of cation-disorder formation may also find applications in electrochemical water treatment and ion separations, such as lithium extraction from brines, based on competitive ion intercalation in battery materials.…”

Figuring the Middle Ground: A Search for Authorship in Perceiving China's COVID-19 Lockdowns by Zhang, San

“…As I continually query the incoherence of my positionality, I find myself in an obscure middle ground where my voice is filtered as inauthentic and unheeded. …”

“…We test MIPS on a benchmark of 62 algorithmic tasks that can be learned by an RNN and find it highly complementary to GPT-4: MIPS solves 32 of them, including 13 that are not solved by GPT-4 (which also solves 30). …”

Sequence‐Sensitivity in Functional Synthetic Polymer Properties by Jin, Tianyi, Coley, Connor W, Alexander‐Katz, Alfredo

“…Here, through atomistic molecular dynamics simulation, we show that there are universal protein‐like features of MMA‐based RHPs that are insensitive to the sequence, and mostly depend on the overall composition. In particular, we find that MMA‐based RHPs “fold” into globules with heterogeneous hydration patterns. …”

Turbulent Flow over a Flexible Wall Undergoing a Streamwise Traveling Wavy Motion by Shen, Lian, Zhang, Xiang, Yue, Dick K.P., Triantafyllou, Michael S.

“…A key parameter for this problem is the ratio of the wall motion phase speed c to U, and results are obtained for c/U in the range of −1.0 to 2.0 at 0.2 intervals. For negative c/U, we find that flow separation is enhanced and a large drag force is produced. …”

Effective dynamics of cold atoms flowing in two ring-shaped optical potentials with tunable tunneling by Aghamalyan, Davit, Amico, Luigi, Kwek, L. C.

“…Through two-mode Gross- Pitaevskii mean-field equations, the real-time dynamics of the population imbalance and the phase difference between the two condensates is thoroughly analyzed analytically, as a function of the relevant physical parameters of the system. In particular, we find that the macroscopic quantum self-trapping phenomenon is induced in the system if the flowing currents assume a nonvanishing difference.…”

Analysis of subtelomeric virulence gene families in Plasmodium falciparum by comparative transcriptional profiling by Witmer, Kathrin, Schmid, Christoph D., Brancucci, Nicolas M. B., Luah, Yen-Hoon, Preiser, Peter Rainer, Bozdech, Zbynek, Voss, Till S.

“…Here, we analysed promoters of upsA, upsB and upsC var, rifA1-type rif, stevor, phist and pfmc-2tm genes and investigated their role in endogenous gene transcription by comparative genome-wide expression profiling of transgenic parasite lines. We find that the three major var promoter types are functionally equal and play an essential role in singular gene choice. …”
