Small fires, big gap: High-resolution VIIRS data reveal widespread underestimation of emissions in sub-Saharan Africa

Geomatica
Fires across sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) are a dominant source of global carbon emissions, yet their true magnitude remains uncertain due to the limitations of coarse-resolution satellite products. In this study, we developed a high-resolution fire emission

Stochastic fire-diffuse-fire model with realistic cluster dynamics

Physical Review E, 2010
Living organisms use waves that propagate through excitable media to transport information. Ca2+ waves are a paradigmatic example of this type of processes. A large hierarchy of Ca2+ signals that range from localized release events to global waves has been observed in Xenopus laevis oocytes.

Unveiling the Role of Curvature in Carbon for Improved Energy Release of Ammonium Perchlorate

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
High‐curvature carbon materials identified via machine learning and simulation can enhance the heat release and combustion performance of ammonium perchlorate. ABSTRACT The catalytic role of carbon curvature in the thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate (AP) remains largely unexplored. To address this gap, this study employs machine learning and
