Magnetron or SSPA for weather radars? Evaluation of the data quality of a dual transmitter setup

Abstract. This paper describes the data quality of the first weather radar with a solid state power amplifier (SSPA) in use at the German Meteorological Service. The new transmitter has been integrated into the existing C-Band radar at the Observatory Hohenpeissenberg in October...

New method for fast heat transfer analysis of PCM cross sections with integrated finned tubes

State-of-the-art Latent Heat Thermal Energy Storage (LHTES) units use extended heat transfer surfaces to compensate for the typically low thermal conductivity of cost-effective phase change materials (PCMs). The analysis of such surfaces currently depends heavily on numerical sim...

Radiometric fingerprinting of object surfaces using mobile laser scanning and semantic 3D road space models

Although semantic 3D city models are internationally available and becoming increasingly detailed, the incorporation of material information remains largely untapped. However, a structured representation of materials and their physical properties could substantially broaden the a...

Can electronic quantum criticality drive phonon-induced linear-in-temperature resistivity?

Optical phonons naturally generate linear-in-temperature ( T T ) resistivity in the equipartition regime, but their finite gap prevents this mechanism from surviving to asymptotically low temperatures. Here we analyze whether proximity to an electronic quantum critical point can...

Magnetic Field Tuning of Modulated Magnetic Orders in CrOCl at the Two‐Dimensional Limit

Chromium oxychloride is a van der Waals magnet with intrinsic competing exchange interactions, including a strong antiferromagnetic one, source of a very rich magnetic phase diagram, with ferrimagnetic, antiferromagnetic, and canted states, up to high magnetic fields. We investig...

Ensemble agroecosystem modeling enhances predictions of crop yields and soil carbon across the United States

Abstract. Accurately estimating crop yields and soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics is essential for agricultural planning, carbon accounting, and sustainable land management. However, process-based agroecosystem models often produce divergent estimates due to variations in model...

New species and suborder records reveal unusually high thaliacean (Chordata, Tunicata) diversity in the South China Sea

In the context of global biodiversity decline, the monitoring and assessment of marine biodiversity have gained increasing importance. Thaliacea, a group of filter-feeding gelatinous zooplankton, play crucial roles in the carbon cycle and pelagic food webs, yet their diversity re...

ALKBH10B mediated epitranscriptomic regulation enhances drought tolerance of Arabidopsis thaliana via hormonal cross-talk and sustained photosynthesis

Abstract Key message The m⁶A demethylase ALKBH10B emerges as a crucial post-transcriptional regulator of hormonal crosstalk, photosynthetic maintenance, and mitochondrial energy metabolism to fine-tune plant stress adaptation to drought . Abstract Epitranscriptomic N⁶-methyladeno...

Logistics of offshore wind: A multicriteria analysis of ports. The case of study of Spanish ports

​The expansion of marine renewable energy faces numerous logistical constraints, with ports being the main bottleneck for its deployment today. That is why this study aims to assess the suitability of ports to support the deployment of floating offshore wind energy, considering d...

On the reliability of seasonal snow forecasts

Abstract. Reliable information on seasonal snow conditions is important for long-range weather forecasting and climate modeling. The reliability of winter-mean hindcasts of snow water equivalent (SWE) produced by the ECMWF for the period 1993–2022 within the CopERnIcus climate ch...

Data-driven enhancement of ocean surface forcing for accurate floating debris transport modelling in the East/Japan Sea

Abstract. Floating debris transport in marginal seas is controlled by a combination of geostrophic currents, wind-driven currents, wave-induced drift, and direct wind forcing, but the relative importance of these processes remains difficult to quantify without in-situ trajectory...

Investigating the role of serum IL-6 in predicting outcomes of b-cell depleting therapy in multiple sclerosis: a retrospective cohort study

Abstract Background Interleukin-6 (IL-6) plays a pivotal role in autoimmune inflammation through its effects on B-cell differentiation, Th17 expansion, and regulatory T-cell suppression. Given ocrelizumab’s (OCR) mechanism of selective CD20 + B-cell depletion, baseline IL-6 level...

Credit Risk Game Analysis and Control Model of RMSEs—Based on the Perspective of Green Credit

RMSEs (rural micro and small enterprises) absorb the rural surplus labor force for employment and entrepreneurship, which is an important economic growth point in rural areas in the future. However, RMSEs have narrow financing channels and difficult financing problems, which hind...

THE UNIFIED FLUIDIC UNIVERSE (UFU) MODEL: A MECHANICAL PARADIGM FOR VECTORIAL FLOW COSMOLOGY

Contemporary physics relies heavily on field-theoretic approaches and the addition of adhocentities such as dark matter to explain macro-scale phenomena. This manuscriptintroduces the Unified Fluidic Universe (UFU) model, redefining cosmology through thelens of fluid mechanics. W...

Relating biomarkers and phenotypes using dynamical trap spaces

Connecting the dynamics of biomolecular networks to experimentally measurable cell phenotypes remains a central challenge in systems biology. Here, we introduce a model-based definition of phenotype as a partial steady state that is committed to a certain dynamical outcome while...

Intelligent Outlier Reconstruction for Enhancing Fractal Anomaly Mapping: A Machine Learning-Based Approach to Explore Shear Zone Gold Deposits

Geochemical gold datasets from shear zone-hosted systems frequently contain extreme outliers that distort statistical structure, shift population boundaries, and undermine the reliability of concentration–area (C–A) fractal modeling. Conventional treatments such as discarding ano...

Deciphering EcoFitness of marine ecosystems through eDNA cross-trophic interactions

Abstract Effective assessment of marine ecosystems increasingly requires approaches that go beyond static biodiversity indices to capture cross-trophic organization and dynamic stability based on network topology. In this study, we applied a multi-marker (12S, 18S, COI) eDNA meta...

Utilization of photovoltaic waste glass as fine aggregate in cement mortar: Effects of glass type, nitric acid treatment, and fly ash on alkali-silica reaction expansion and strength

This study investigates the feasibility of using photovoltaic (PV) waste glass as a sustainable fine aggregate replacement for natural sand in mortar by evaluating its alkali-silica reaction (ASR) reactivity and mechanical performance. Two types of waste glass, cover glass and su...
