Extension of solutions of convolution equations in spaces of holomorphic functions with polynomial growth in convex domains by Khoi, Le Hai., Ishimura, Ryuichi., Abanin, Alexander V.

“…In this paper we consider a problem of extension of solutions to homogeneous convolution equations defined by operators acting from a space A−∞(D+K)A−∞(D+K) of holomorphic functions with polynomial growth near the boundary of D+KD+K into another space of such a type A−∞(D)A−∞(D) (D and K being a bounded convex domain and a convex compact set in CC, respectively). …”

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. …”

Meat Me for Supper? Envisioning the Future of Protein Food by Maynard, Christopher Coleman

“…Utilizing IMPACT, this report assesses the food security dimensions of availability and economic access for protein food relative to the EAT-Lancet recommendations, projected to 2050, under various shared socioeconomic pathways. This work reveals a near universal over-supply of red meat as well as an under-supply in plant protein across UN member states, even as animal sources of protein far exceed their plant counterparts on a price per kilocalorie basis. …”
