Long-term effects of early life rainfall shocks on foundational cognitive skills: evidence from Peru by Pazos, N, Favara, M, Sánchez, A, Scott, D, Behrman, J

“…Global warming is changing precipitation patterns, particularly harming communities in low-and-middle income countries (LMICs). Whilst the long-term effects of being exposed to rainfall shocks early in life on school-achievement tests are well-established, there is little population-based evidence from LMICs on the mechanisms through which these shocks operate. …”

Defect detection of GFRP composites through long pulse thermography using an uncooled microbolometer infrared camera by Anwar, Murniwati, Mustapha, Faizal, Abdullah, Mohd Na’im, Mustapha, Mazli, Sallih, Nabihah, Ahmad, Azlan, Mat Daud, Siti Zubaidah

“…Challenges in detecting these defects arise from varying responses based on the geometrical shape, thickness, and defect types. Long Pulse Thermography (LPT), utilizing an uncooled microbolometer and a low-resolution infrared (IR) camera, presents a promising solution for detecting both depth and impact defects in GFRP materials with a single setup and minimal tools at an economical cost. …”

Linking short-term to long-term convergent tectonics using geodetic observations, geological constraints and numerical simulations by Mallick, Rishav

“…I present a case study of the growth of the Shillong Plateau, north eastern India, as seen in the present-day GNSS-derived velocity field and the long-term uplift history of the plateau. To understand how sequences of earthquakes and aseismic slip on faults shape topography and build mountains, I developed a numerical technique that allows for a one-way coupling from long-term geodynamics to earthquake sequence simulations. …”

Year-Long Stability of Nucleic Acid Bases in Concentrated Sulfuric Acid: Implications for the Persistence of Organic Chemistry in Venus’ Clouds by Seager, Sara, Petkowski, Janusz J., Seager, Maxwell D., Grimes, John H., Zinsli, Zachary, Vollmer-Snarr, Heidi R., Abd El-Rahman, Mohamed K., Wishart, David S., Lee, Brian L., Gautam, Vasuk, Herrington, Lauren, Bains, William, Darrow, Charles

“…This work builds on our initial stability studies and is the first ever to test the reactivity and structural integrity of organic molecules subjected to extended incubation in concentrated sulfuric acid. The one-year-long stability of nucleic acid bases supports the notion that the Venus cloud environment&mdash;composed of concentrated sulfuric acid&mdash;may be able to support complex organic chemicals for extended periods of time.…”
