Solar‐Wind Triggering of Substorm Onset During the May 2024 Superstorm: Coordinated Global Observations and Simulations

Abstract Substorms are often described by a loading‐unloading cycle, where onset follows gradual accumulation of solar wind magnetic flux in the magnetosphere. Yet observations indicate that intense substorms can also be directly driven, th...

Numerical simulation of irregular section underground structure shaking table test model

Based on the the large shaking table test results on irregular section subway station structure in soft soil, an overall time-history numerical simulation is conducted to study the nonlinear dynamic interaction of the soil-irregular undergr...

Fractal aggregates in geophysics

The combination of small particles to form larger structures is important in a broad range of natural processes, including the flocculation of organic and mineral particles in rivers, estuaries, and the open sea, the growth of smoke particl...

top-ii-vol: Massively Parallel Scalable Meshing for Seismic Risk Assessment of Nuclear Sites

High performance computing is widely used for conducting high-resolution geophysics Finite Element Method (FEM) simulations. These simulations are crucial for risk assessment at nuclear sites and help gain deeper insights into underlying ph...

Can Glacial Sea‐Level Drop‐Induced Gas Hydrate Dissociation Cause Submarine Landslides?

Abstract We conducted two‐dimensional numerical simulations to investigate the mechanisms underlying the strong spatiotemporal correlation observed between submarine landslides and gas hydrate dissociation due to glacial sea‐level drops. Ou...

A practical introduction to skeletons for the plant sciences

Before the availability of digital photography resulting from the invention of charged couple devices in 1969, the measurement of plant architecture was a manual process either on the plant itself or on traditional photographs. The introduc...

Photosynthetic Research in Plant Science

Photosynthesis is a highly regulated, multistep process. It encompasses the harvest of solar energy, transfer of excitation energy, energy conversion, electron transfer from water to NADP+, ATP generation and a series of enzymatic reactions...

Evaluating the Effects of Molecular Dynamic And Docking of Abemaciclib, Hymenialdisine, and Indirubin on CDK-2 Inhibition by Simulation Study

Background & objectives: Cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK-2) is a serine/threonine protein kinase with regulatory activity in the cell cycle. Inhibitors of this protein are the treatment of choice for a variety of cancers by stopping the cell...

Fluid Mud and Nautical Bottom – Concept and Application in Itajaí Port Complex (Brazil)

Considering the demand for mooring larger ships at Brazilian port terminals, both private and public, in a scenario of growing exports, engineering interventions that can provide improvements in the vessel’s maximum allowed dimensions can r...

Stormwater characterisation and modelling for Sungai Air Hitam in Selangor, Malaysia using model for urban stormwater improvement conceptualisation (music)

The aim of this study is to evaluate the current water quality status of one of the urban rivers in Malaysia, called Sungai Air Hitam. The river's water supply is not only unsuitable for the inhabitants but also hazardous to the aquatic spe...

Reconciling surface deflections from simulations of global mantle convection

The modern state of the mantle and its evolution on geological timescales are of widespread importance for the Earth sciences. For instance, it is generally agreed that mantle flow is manifest in topographic and drainage network evolution, ...

Potential and limitations of multidecadal satellite soil moisture observations for selected climate model evaluation studies

Soil moisture is an essential climate variable (ECV) of major importance for land–atmosphere interactions and global hydrology. An appropriate representation of soil moisture dynamics in global climate models is therefore important. Recentl...

Evaluating the influence of anatomical accuracy and electrode positions on EEG forward solutions

Generating realistic volume conductor models for forward calculations in electroencephalography (EEG) is not trivial and several factors contribute to the accuracy of such models, two of which are its anatomical accuracy and the accuracy wi...

Cognitive biases in nursing students' clinical decision-making: insights from high-fidelity simulation using think-aloud and observational methods

BackgroundCognitive biases are systematic errors in human reasoning that can compromise clinical decision-making (CDM) in healthcare. While extensively studied in medicine, nursing research on cognitive biases in CDM remains limited.AimThis...

Experience in a Climate Microworld: Influence of Surface and Structure Learning, Problem Difficulty, and Decision Aids in Reducing Stock-Flow Misconceptions

Research shows that people’s wait-and-see preferences for actions against climate change are a result of several factors, including cognitive misconceptions. The use of simulation tools could help reduce these misconceptions concerning Eart...

Polymer brush in articular cartilage lubrication: Nanoscale modelling and simulation

Human knee joints move smoothly under high load conditions due to articular cartilage and synovial fluid. Much attention is paid to the role of proteoglycans. It is suggested that a part of proteoglycan forms aggregate on the cartilage surf...

Constraining PERMANOVA and LDM to within-set comparisons by projection improves the efficiency of analyses of matched sets of microbiome data

Abstract Background Matched-set data arise frequently in microbiome studies. For example, we may collect pre- and post-treatment samples from a set of individuals, or use important confounding variables to match data from case participants ...

Data-Driven Cooperative Control Model of Shearer-Scraper Conveyor Based on Rough Set Theory

The cooperative control of shearer and scraper conveyors is the prerequisite for the realization of intelligent comprehensive mining equipment and unmanned comprehensive mining workings. However, because of the harsh working face environmen...
