Hearing the Serre Invariant of a Compact p‐Adic Analytic Manifold

Mathematische Nachrichten, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Using a previous novel way of defining kernel functions for Laplacian integral operators on a compact p$p$‐adic analytic manifold X$X$, one such operator Δ0s$\Delta _0^s$ with s∈R$s\in \mathbb {R}$ is applied to hearing the Serre invariant i(X)$i(X)$ by showing that a wavelet eigenvalue (with the wavelet having small support) is always ...

Using dendroclimatic analysis of exotic deciduous conifers in an arboretum to document tree growth in response to climate change, Northeast Ohio, USA

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Rising temperatures and wetter conditions in the Midcontinent of North America are influencing climate responses in trees. Dendroclimatological analyses of four exotic deciduous conifer species from Secrest Arboretum, Northeast Ohio help identify past, present and future climate‐tree interactions.

Development and adoption of Kernza—A perennial grain crop for sustainable agriculture

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Annual cereal grains account for ~50% of human food calories, but cultivation of these crops has resulted in major environmental and social issues worldwide. For nearly three decades, researchers have been breeding intermediate wheatgrass—a perennial cool‐season grass—to serve as the world's first commercial‐scale perennial grain crop to improve ...

Gravitational versus Magnetohydrodynamic Waves in Curved Spacetime in the Presence of Large-Scale Magnetic Fields

Astronomy, 2023
The general-relativistic (GR) magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations for a conductive plasma fluid are derived and discussed in the curved spacetime described by Thorne’s metric tensor, i.e., a family of cosmological models with inherent anisotropy due to ...

Farmers’ Protests and Climate Change: An Analysis of Irish Dairy Farms Manifestations d’agriculteurs et changement climatique : Une analyse des exploitations laitières irlandaises Bauernproteste und Klimawandel: Eine Analyse irischer Milchviehbetriebe

EuroChoices, EarlyView.
Summary In 2023 and 2024, farmers across Europe, including in Ireland, staged protests. Low farm incomes and increasingly stringent environmental and climate policies were frequently cited as key drivers. By accounting for almost 38 per cent of national greenhouse gas emissions, the agricultural sector is the largest contributor in Ireland to climate ...
