Sustainable Development Goal 2 (zero hunger) requires prohibition of nuclear weapons
, 2023 A nuclear war between the United States and Russia could produce a nuclear winter, with catastrophic consequences for global food supplies. Smoke from fires ignited by nuclear weapons exploded on cities and industrial targets would block out sunlight, causing dark, cold, and dry surface conditions, with surface temperatures below freezing even in

A Measure for Ending Hunger in the United States [PDF]
, 2002 Hunger is a persistent problem in the United States. In 1999, three percent of U.S. households (more than 7.5 million people) were food insecure with hunger.2(p7) An additional seven percent of households (more than 23 million people) were food insecure ...

Leveraging Transfer Learning to Overcome Data Limitations in Czochralski Crystal Growth
Advanced Theory and Simulations, EarlyView.A data‐driven framework combining Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations and machine learning is proposed to model and optimize Czochralski crystal growth. Using different transfer learning strategies (Warm Start, Merged Training, and Hyperparameter Transfer) the study demonstrates improved predictions for Ge and GaAs growth from Si‐trained ...

Neural Information Processing and Time‐Series Prediction with Only Two Dynamical Memristors
Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.The present study demonstrates how simple circuits with only two memristive devices are utilized to perform high complexity temporal information processing tasks, like neural spike detection in noisy environment, or time‐series prediction. This circuit simplicity is enabled by the dynamical complexity of the memristive devices, i.e.
