Seminar series in Ecology

The EcoEncontros is a seminar series of weekly talks at the Ecology Graduate Program of the University of São Paulo (PPGE-USP), Brazil. EcoEncontros began in 2008 and is organized by a committee composed mainly of…

In September 2024, two months before the US presidential election returned Donald Trump to power for a second term, I secured a congressional fellowship to work for Bill…

One morning in 2014, a colleague asked whether I’d seen a new study linking concussion risk to altitude exposure. The work was part of a package of evidence promoting a device to prevent concussion in contact sports. I’m not a concussion…

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Lonni Besançon was far away from home and, like most of us, spending a lot of time…

Modeling framework

A linear programming optimization model is developed for the solar PV global supply chain analysis. Unlike other possible modelling approaches^10,49, our optimization model explicitly seeks out solutions that maximize a specified…

The methodological flowchart of the study is shown in Fig. 7. The method is composed of four steps. (1) Image preprocessing; (2) Solar PV detection machine learning model training; (3) Solar PV database generation in Japan with the trained model…

Submarine canyons are deep, large-scale incisions found on most of the world’s continental margins. In Antarctica, they are widespread features driving oceanographic processes with significant implications for global climate and circulation….

Physicists from Ames National Laboratory and Iowa State University have demonstrated the emergence of a Higgs echo in niobium superconductors. Their discovery provides insight into quantum behaviors that could be used for next-generation…
