Sir and Guys in 20th‐ and 21st‐Century American English

World Englishes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the diachronic development of formal and informal address and reference terms in American English as an effect of democratization using the COHA corpus (1900–2020). In focus are two address/reference terms with especially drastic frequency trends in the timespan investigated: the honorific sir, which declines sharply from ...

Static Behaviors of Confined Time-Arrival Operators [PDF]

, 2007
We show that the quantization of the classical Time-of-Arrival (TOA) for arbitrary position X still leads to a class of self-adjoint TOA-operator for a confined particle.

A Mechanism for Analyzing the Energy Consumption and Environmental Impact of LoRa Sensors Over Time

International Journal of Communication Systems, Volume 39, Issue 15, October 2026.
An SPN‐based mechanism, validated against NS‐3 with MAPE below 0.3%, reveals how packet generation rate and spreading factor shape LoRa sensor lifetime, energy consumption, and operational CO2$$ {}_2 $$ emissions, supporting sustainable planning of large‐scale IoT deployments. ABSTRACT Long Range (LoRa) sensors are widely adopted in Internet of Things (

Spaceborne Far‐Infrared Signal Simulations Over the Antarctic Plateau With Temperature‐Dependent Ice Cloud Optical Properties

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 17, 16 September 2026.
Abstract Longwave cloud radiative effects significantly influence variability in global and regional Earth systems. However, there have been very few, if any, measurements of the far‐infrared (FIR) radiation over the polar regions, where about half of the outgoing longwave radiation is in the FIR spectrum. This motivated the Polar Radiant Energy in the

Morphology‐Driven Ternary Pattern Space Spans Shallow Marine Clouds

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 17, 16 September 2026.
Abstract Marine shallow clouds exhibit a variety of patterns, which have been the subject of extensive research. In this study, we introduce a new approach for their continuous classification using Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) true color imagery.

Body condition of shorebirds upon arrival at their Siberian breeding grounds [PDF]

, 2009
Arctic breeding shorebirds carry substantial body stores on their long-distance migrations from their non-breeding grounds. Upon arrival at the breeding area the remains of these stores can be used for egg formation, insurance against poor feeding ...

A population Monte Carlo model for underwater acoustic telemetry positioning in reflective environments

Methods in Ecology and Evolution
Underwater acoustic telemetry positioning is widely used to track the fine‐scale movements of aquatic animals. In study areas near acoustically reflective surfaces, reflected transmissions may cause large detection outliers that can severely reduce the ...

Diagnostic BMI and Induction Therapy Weight Change Associated With Hepatotoxicity in Pediatric Patients With Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Cancer Medicine, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Hepatotoxicity is a common treatment‐related complication in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Excess adiposity at diagnosis has been identified as a risk factor, but the impact of weight change during therapy has not been examined.

Message Time of Arrival Codes: A Fundamental Primitive for Secure Distance Measurement [PDF]

, 2019
Secure distance measurement and therefore secure Time-of-Arrival (ToA) measurement is critical for applications such as contactless payments, passive-keyless entry and start systems, and navigation systems.
