Predicted Losses of Sulfur and Selenium in European Soils Using Machine Learning: A 2 Call for Prudent Model Interrogation and Selection by Jones, Gerrad D., Insinga, Logan, Droz, Boris, Feinberg, Aryeh, Stenke, Andrea, Smith, Jo, Smith, Pete, Winkel, Lenny H. E.

“…Reductions in sulfur (S) atmospheric deposition in recent decades have been attributed to S deficiencies in crops. Similarly, global soil selenium (Se) concentrations were predicted to drop, particularly in Europe, due to increases in leaching attributed to increases in aridity. …”

Development and Characterization of a Novel, Low-Cost Method for Measurement of Volatile Organic Compounds by Gao, Amanda

“…While there are several commercially-available LCS that can measure environmental volatile organic compounds (VOCs), an important class of hazardous pollutants, these sensors can only make non-specific “broadband” measurements and have, to date, been underutilized in research. This thesis describes the development, characterization, optimization, and use of a novel low-cost instrument for measuring environmental VOCs. …”

The Relationship between Linguistic Representations in Biological and Artificial Neural Networks by Kauf, Carina

“…The scientific tools for investigating human-unique capacities, such as language, have long been limited. For example, we do not have the option to learn about the neural circuits that support these capabilities by studying simpler systems than the human brain, such as animal models. …”

Emergence, Formation and Dynamics of Hot QCD Matter by Scheihing Hitschfeld, Bruno Sebastian

“…Over the past two decades it has been realized that a significant fraction of quarkonium suppression in high energy heavy ion collisions comes from dynamic dissociation and recombination processes, instead of static screening of the interaction potential as originally proposed by Matsui and Satz. …”

Analysis of Poly(ethylene terephthalate) degradation kinetics of evolved IsPETase variants using a surface crowding model by Zhong-Johnson, En Ze Linda, Dong, Ziyue, Canova, Christopher T, Destro, Francesco, Cañellas, Marina, Hoffman, Mikaila C, Maréchal, Jeanne, Johnson, Timothy M, Zheng, Maya, Schlau-Cohen, Gabriela S, Lucas, Maria Fátima, Braatz, Richard D, Sprenger, Kayla G, Voigt, Christopher A, Sinskey, Anthony J

“…IsPETase also displays enzyme concentration-dependent inhibition effects, and surface crowding has been proposed as a causal phenomenon. Based on total internal reflectance fluorescence microscopy and adsorption experiments, IsPETase is likely experiencing crowded conditions on PET films. …”

The Europa Imaging System (EIS) Investigation by Turtle, E. P., McEwen, A. S., Patterson, G. W., Ernst, C. M., Elder, C. M., Slack, K. A., Hawkins, S. E., McDermott, J., Meyer, H., DeMajistre, R., Espiritu, R., Seifert, H., Niewola, J.

“…The NAC is mounted on a 2-axis gimbal, ±30° cross- and along-track, that enables independent targeting and near-global (≥90%) mapping of Europa at ≤100-m pixel scale (to date, only ∼15% of Europa has been imaged at ≤900 m/pixel), as well as stereo imaging from as close as 50-km altitude to generate digital terrain models (DTMs) with ≤4-m ground sample distance (GSD) and ≤0.5-m vertical precision. …”

Adversarial Network Optimization under Bandit Feedback: Maximizing Utility in Non-Stationary Multi-Hop Networks by Dai, Yan, Huang, Longbo

“…Stochastic Network Optimization (SNO) concerns scheduling in stochastic queueing systems and has been widely studied in network theory. Classical SNO algorithms require network conditions to be stationary w.r.t. time, which fails to capture the non-stationary components in increasingly many real-world scenarios. …”
