An indicator of sea ice variability for the Antarctic marginal ice zone [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2022 Remote-sensing records over the last 40 years have revealed large year-to-year global and regional variability in Antarctic sea ice extent. Sea ice area and extent are useful climatic indicators of large-scale variability, but they do not allow the ...

Towards disentangling heterogeneous soil moisture patterns in cosmic-ray neutron sensor footprints [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2021 Cosmic-ray neutron sensing (CRNS) allows for non-invasive soil moisture estimations at the field scale. The derivation of soil moisture generally relies on secondary cosmic-ray neutrons in the epithermal to fast energy ranges.

Health and the built environment in United States cities: measuring associations using Google Street View-derived indicators of the built environment [PDF]
BMC Public Health, 2020 Abstract Background The built environment is a structural determinant of health and has been shown to influence health expenditures, behaviors, and outcomes. Traditional methods of assessing built environment characteristics are time-consuming and difficult to combine or compare.

Journal of Physiological Anthropology, 2023 Background Surface electromyography (sEMG) is primarily used to analyze individual and neighboring muscle activity. However, using a broader approach can enable simultaneous measurement of multiple muscles, which is essential for understanding muscular ...

Air entrainment in transient flows in closed water pipes: a two-layer approach [PDF]
, 2012 In this paper, we first construct a model for free surface flows that takes into account the air entrainment by a system of four partial differential equations.

High contrast homogenisation in nonlinear elasticity under small loads [PDF]
, 2017 We study the homogenisation of geometrically nonlinear elastic composites with high contrast. The composites we analyse consist of a perforated matrix material, which we call the "stiff" material, and a "soft" material that fills the pores.

Convex optimization problem prototyping for image reconstruction in computed tomography with the Chambolle-Pock algorithm [PDF]
, 2012 The primal-dual optimization algorithm developed in Chambolle and Pock (CP), 2011 is applied to various convex optimization problems of interest in computed tomography (CT) image reconstruction. This algorithm allows for rapid prototyping of optimization

Gamma-Ray Burst Luminosity Functions Based on a Newly Discovered Correlation Between Peak Spectral Energy and V/V_(max) [PDF]
, 2009 We have discovered a correlation between the observed peak spectral energy E_(pk,obs) and the Euclidean value of of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). We present the evidence for the correlation in the GUSBAD catalog and use it to derive the luminosity function ...
