Mainstreaming the Full ENSO: Linking Present Weather and Future Climate

open access: yesInternational Journal of Disaster Risk Science, 2022
In this article we propose that all countries that are striving to become a Weather-Ready Nation (WRN) would benefit greatly from including El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO)-related research findings into their decision-making processes, not only when ...

Control Capacity

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Information Theory, 2015
Feedback control actively dissipates uncertainty from a dynamical system by means of actuation. We develop a notion of "control capacity" that gives a fundamental limit (in bits) on the rate at which a controller can dissipate the uncertainty from a system, i.e. stabilize to a known fixed point.

The Zero-Undetected-Error Capacity Approaches the Sperner Capacity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Ahlswede, Cai, and Zhang proved that, in the noise-free limit, the zero-undetected-error capacity is lower bounded by the Sperner capacity of the channel graph, and they conjectured equality.

Amino-functionalized graphene oxide for Cr(VI), Cu(II), Pb(II) and Cd(II) removal from industrial wastewater

open access: yesOpen Chemistry, 2020
Amino-functionalized graphene oxide (GO-NH2) was synthesized by grafting (3-aminopropyl) triethoxysilane on the graphene oxide (GO) surface. The GO-NH2 with high surface area and numerous active sites can efficiently adsorb Cr(VI), Cu(II), Pb(II) and Cd ...

Absorptive Capacity: A Review, Reconceptualization, and Extension

open access: yes, 2002
Researchers have used the absorptive capacity construct to explain various organizational phenomena. In this article we review the literature to identify key dimensions of absorptive capacity and offer a reconceptualization of this construct.

Automated Glacier Snow Line Altitude Calculation Method Using Landsat Series Images in the Google Earth Engine Platform

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2022
Glacier snow line altitude (SLA) at the end of the ablation season is an indicator of the equilibrium line altitude (ELA), which is a key parameter for calculating and assessing glacier mass balance.

Global stocks and capacity of mineral-associated soil organic carbon

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
Soil is the largest terrestrial reservoir of organic carbon and is central for climate change mitigation and carbon-climate feedbacks. Chemical and physical associations of soil carbon with minerals play a critical role in carbon storage, but the amount ...
