Frequency effects of alternating dielectric-barrier-discharge plasma actuation on turbulent flow of circular cylinder

Abstract An in-house solver for the three-dimensional, unsteady, compressible Navier–Stokes equations with a large-eddy simulation (LES) turbulence model is applied to simulate the unsteady flow over a circular cylinder at a Reynolds number of 15,000 under the control of a pair o...

Piecewise Constraintsfor Exact End Point Samplingwith λ-Dynamics

Abstract λ-Dynamics simulations are used to explore differences between distinct chemical states through interpolation with a λ parameter. Existing algorithms for λ-dynamics treat the thermodynamic coupling parameter λ as an additional degree of freedom and integrate its motion a...

Chitin‐Derived Carbon‐Metal Functional Materials

ABSTRACT Biomass‐derived carbon materials have emerged as sustainable alternatives to petroleum‐derived adsorbents for environmental remediation applications. Among biomass feedstocks, chitin offers advantages due to its abundance as seafood‐processing waste and its intrinsic nit...

Reconstitution of lamin assembly on nuclear pore complex-containing membranes

Intermediate filaments called lamins line the metazoan nuclear envelope and organize the nucleus and genome. Unlike actin and microtubules, purified intermediate filament proteins assemble into non-physiological structures, making it difficult to connect lamin functions to their...

La Niña’s longevity shapes Bering Sea ice fate

Abstract La Niña events vary widely in duration, from single-year to multi-year. However, their influence on Bering Sea ice concentration remains unclear. Here, we show that single-year and multi-year La Niña events produce contrasting impacts on spring Bering Sea ice concentrati...

Case-cohort designs to improve efficiency for detecting effect modification

Abstract In analyses of time-to-event outcomes, we may utilize efficient sampling designs to save effort, cost, and valuable specimens. The originally proposed case-cohort design is one such design, and performs analysis on a random sample selected from the full cohort supplement...

Groundwater Variability Is Strongly Linked to Soil Temperature Across Global Aquifers

Abstract Groundwater plays a critical role in land‐atmosphere interactions by regulating soil moisture and surface energy fluxes, yet its contribution to land‐surface processes and heat extremes remains poorly quantified globally. Here, we combine observation‐based aquifer record...

Vertical Coherence Dominates Decadal Land Water Storage Change Despite Hydroclimatic Extremes and Groundwater Pumping

Abstract Whether surface and deeper water storage trends move in the same direction underpins assessments of freshwater availability. Theory predicts vertical coherence, yet it is untested globally and questioned under climate extremes and human management. Using depth‐sensitive...

Image Inpainting in 30 Years: A Survey

ABSTRACT As a fundamental task in restoring continuous visual signals, image inpainting plays a critical role in autonomous driving perception, medical imaging, video editing and digital heritage preservation. Driven by deep learning and large‐scale generative models, the field h...

A Gap Analysis of Deep Brain Stimulation for Childhood‐Onset Movement Disorders

BACKGROUND: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an established and increasingly utilized therapy for childhood-onset movement disorders. However, pediatric DBS poses unique challenges that are not adequately addressed by adult-derived paradigms. OBJECTIVE: To identify key gaps in the...
