The slowdown of increasing groundwater storage in response to climate warming in the Tibetan Plateau

npj Climate and Atmospheric Science
The change of groundwater storage (GWS) on the Tibetan Plateau (TP) is vital for water resources management and regional sustainability, but its estimation has large uncertainty due to insufficient hydrological measurements and diverse future climate ...

Effect of Heat Demand on Integration of Urban Large-Scale Renewable Schemes—Case of Helsinki City (60 °N)

Energies, 2020
Heat demand dominates the final energy use in northern cities. This study examines how changes in heat demand may affect solutions for zero-emission energy systems, energy system flexibility with variable renewable electricity production, and the use of ...

Causal Modeling for Fairness in Dynamical Systems

CoRR, 2019
In many application areas---lending, education, and online recommenders, for example---fairness and equity concerns emerge when a machine learning system interacts with a dynamically changing environment to produce both immediate and long-term effects for individuals and demographic groups. We discuss causal directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) as a unifying

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

A recent overview of the integration of System Dynamics and Agent-based Modelling and Simulation

, 2016
Modelling and simulation aim to reproduce the structure and imitate the behavior of real-life systems. For complex dynamic systems, System Dynamics (SD) and Agent-based (AB) modelling are two widely used modelling paradigms that prior to the early 2010’s

Biased Aerosol Wet Deposition CAM5 Simulations: A Result of Misrepresented Convective-Stratiform Precipitation Partitioning When Benchmarked Against SPCAM

Remote Sensing
Wet deposition is a major sink for atmospheric aerosols, but its representation in conventional global climate models (GCMs) remains highly uncertain, partly as a result of the partitioning between convective and stratiform precipitation. Using the Super-

Dynamic System Sustainability Simulation Modelling

Baltic Journal of Modern Computing, 2019
INTRODUCTION Assessing the sustainability of dynamic, open and complex systems with many stakeholders, interrelated components and interactions and forecasting with traditional study methods is complicated and has its limitations. Therefore, often researchers, when forecasting the sustainability of a dynamic system, rely on subjective judgment ...
