An Accelerated Discrete Ordinate Method (ADOM) Developed for Scalar Radiative Transfer by Merging Adjacent Clear‐Sky Atmospheric Layers: Forward and Jacobians Derivation

open access: yesJournal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 17, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract In this study, an Accelerated Discrete Ordinate Method (ADOM) is proposed to enhance the computational efficiency of multi‐layer radiative transfer (RT) simulations while maintaining a high accuracy. ADOM applies the Discrete Ordinate Method (DOM) only in scattering layers, while the radiances for the adjacent clear‐sky layers are merged and ...

Testifying to the war’s calamities already in antiquity, in the early modern period, the myth’s women acquired a ...

open access: yesCaliban: French Journal of English Studies, 2014
Bien que la dernière pièce de Shakespeare, La Tempête, ne fasse pas d'allusion directe aux Ottomans, sa lecture coloniale, certainement justifiable, n'exclut nullement d’autres interprétations.

White Matter Microstructure Alterations in Older Adults With Dyslipidemia Associated With Cognitive and Locomotor Dysfunction Evaluated Using Neurite Orientation Dispersion and Density Imaging

open access: yesBrain and Behavior, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2025.
This study used NODDI to identify white matter microstructure alterations in older adults with dyslipidemia, revealing significantly reduced neurite density in several brain regions. These reductions were linked to declines in cognitive and motor functions, suggesting that NODDI may serve as a biomarker for dyslipidemia‐related axonal degeneration ...

Why “Real men don't speak French”: Deconstructing cultural attitudes to a language by historicizing their discursive formations

open access: yesThe Modern Language Journal, Volume 109, Issue 2, Page 389-406, Summer 2025.
Abstract Guided by Foucault's concept of “discursive formations,” the study reported here draws on primary archival and secondary source material to examine how French has been discursively shaped in England and in relation to English. Unpacking sociohistorical constructions of sameness–difference offers a productive frame to explore ideological ...
