We present a novel family of schemes as the merging between a one-dimensional advection scheme with the flux coordinate independent approach. The scheme can be used to discretize the field-aligned NavierStokes equations in three dimensions. Our approach consists of three major steps: (i) the formulation of the one-dimensional scheme in a locally field-aligned coordinate system, (ii) a numerical ...

Employing Psidium guajava (P. guajava) extract from leaves, copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs), likewise referred to as cupric oxide and renowned for their sustainable and harmless biogenesis, have the possibility of being useful for the purification of pollutants as well as for medicinal purposes. The current study examined the generated CuO NPs and their physical qualities by using ultraviolet−visible ...

The loss of multiyear sea ice (MYI) in the Arctic Ocean is a significant change that affects all facets of the Arctic environment. Using a Lagrangian ice age product, we examine MYI loss and quantify the annual MYI area budget from 1980 to 2021 as the balance of export, melt, and replenishment. Overall, MYI area declined at 72,500 km² /yr; however, a majority of the loss occurred ...

Patients with type 1 diabetes must continually decide how much insulin to inject before each meal to maintain blood glucose levels within a healthy range. Recent research has worked on a solution for this burden, showing the potential of reinforcement learning as an emerging approach for the task of controlling blood glucose levels. In this paper, we test and evaluate several deep Q-learning algorithms ...

In recent years, considerable progress has been made in the conversion of biomass into renewable chemicals, yet the range of value-added products that can be formed from biomass remains relatively small. Herein, we demonstrate that molecules available from biomass serve as viable starting materials for the synthesis of phosphine ligands, which can be used in homogeneous catalysis. Specifically, ...

. This study presents a long-term winter sea ice thickness proxy product for the Canadian Arctic based on a random forest regression model – applied to ice charts and scatterometer data, trained on CryoSat-2 observations, and applying an ice type–sea ice thickness correction using the Pan-Arctic Ice Ocean Modeling and Assimilation System (PIOMAS) – that provides 25 years of sea ice thickness ...

The CryoSat-2 radar altimeter and ICESat-2 laser altimeter can provide complementary measurements of the freeboard and thickness of Arctic sea ice. However, both sensors face significant challenges for accurately measuring the ice freeboard when the sea ice is melting in summer months. Here, we used crossover points between CryoSat2 and ICESat-2 to compare elevation retrievals over summer sea ...

Spam emails pose a substantial cybersecurity danger, necessitating accurate classification to reduce unwanted messages and mitigate risks. This study focuses on enhancing spam email classification accuracy using stacking ensemble machine learning techniques.We trained and tested five classifiers: logistic regression, decision tree, K-nearest neighbors (KNN), Gaussian naive Bayes and AdaBoost. To ...

<p>Super-resolution optical microscopy (SRM) holds great promise for the advancement of life sciences, unlocking the secrets of the minute machinery composing living organisms. While broadly accepted in cell biology, the existing SRM methods haven’t effectively breached relevant fields such as histological practice, mainly due to the complexity, elevated costs, limited throughput, and incompatibility ...

Changes in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) in the quadrupled CO₂ experiments conducted under the sixth Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6) are examined. Increased CO₂ triggers extensive Arctic warming, causing widespread melting of sea ice. The resulting freshwater spreads southward, frst from the Labrador Sea and then the Nordic Seas, and ...
