Climate projections for Himalaya–Tibetan Highland by Bhuyan, Debi P., Salunke, Popat, Chadha, Meera

“…The fidelity of 47 CMIP6 climate models in simulating the monsoon (June to August) over Himalaya–Tibetan Highland (HTH) is examined for the historical period (1975-2014) and 8 best performing models have been identified. It is found that the multi-model mean of 47 CMIP6 models (MMM) still exhibits systematic cold and wet biases for Tas and precipitation, respectively during the historical period. …”

Analog Quantum Variational Embedding Classifier by Yang, Rui, Bosch, Samuel, Kiani, Bobak, Lloyd, Seth, Lupascu, Adrian

“…For current noisy intermediate-scale quantum computers, various quantum-classical hybrid algorithms have been proposed. One such previously proposed hybrid algorithm is a gate-based variational embedding classifier, which is composed of a classical neural network and a parameterized gate-based quantum circuit. …”

“…The electric sail can also be utilised in low Earth orbit, or LEO, when passing through the ionosphere, where it serves as a plasma brake for deorbiting—several missions have been dedicated to LEO demonstration. In this article, we propose the ESTCube-LuNa mission concept and the preliminary cubesat design to be launched into the Moon’s orbit, where the solar wind is uninterrupted, except for the lunar wake and when the Moon is in the Earth’s magnetosphere. …”
