TOA: A Novel Metaheuristic Optimization Algorithm Inspired by Marine Turtle Navigation

Computers
This study proposes the Turtle Optimization Algorithm (TOA), a bio-inspired metaheuristic motivated by the long-distance navigation behavior of marine turtles.

Counter‐factual simulation highlights requirements for additional management to avert extinction of a relict Tītī/Sooty Shearwater population

Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 4, Page 1348-1363, October 2026.
Seabirds play key ecological roles but face increasing threats worldwide. Among them, Tītī (Sooty Shearwater) Ardenna grisea are among the most abundant and culturally significant species in the Southern Hemisphere but are also threatened. Kapiti Island, Aotearoa (New Zealand), holds a Tītī colony which, despite eradication of non‐native mammalian ...

Strengthening School‐Based Food and Nutrition Education in Ghana: Gaps, Opportunities, and a Roadmap for Action

Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics, Volume 39, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Malnutrition among school‐age children and adolescents in Ghana is driven by poor diet quality and weakly regulated school food environments (SFEs). School‐based Food and Nutrition Education (SFNE) is a key strategy, but its effectiveness depends on coordinated capacity across sectors.

Simulating Regional‐Scale Aerosol Radiative Effects of Wildfire Smoke Using a High‐Resolution Coupled Meteorology‐Chemistry Model: HRRR‐Chem

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Abstract Wildfires are increasing in frequency and intensity, strongly influencing both regional air quality and the Earth's radiation budget via their aerosol emissions. Relying on an unparalleled observational data set from the 2019 NOAA/NASA FIREX‐AQ campaign, this study quantifies the direct radiative effects of two wildfires using the HRRR‐Chem ...

TOA und Rückfallrisikoreduzierung:eine Einschätzung zur Verzerrungdurch Selbstselektion

TOA-magazin, 2020
Die Rückfallquote spielt eine zentrale Rolle in der Forschung zu Restorative Justice (RJ). Ein Grund dafür ist der zunehmende Einsatz von RJ innerhalb der Strafjustiz. Für Regierungen und Gesellschaften ist es wichtig, ihre Reaktionen auf Kriminalität so auszurichten, dass Rückfälligkeit reduziert und somit die öffentliche Sicherheit verbessert wird ...

New Constraint on Future Ocean Heat Uptake Revealed by Considering Model Spread of Radiative Forcing

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Abstract Radiative forcing (F) $(F)$ is the fundamental driver of ocean heat uptake (N) $(N)$; however, its contribution to intermodel spread in N $N$ has not been quantified. We address this gap by leveraging a new set of CMIP6 experiments that diagnoses time‐varying F $F$ for the first time in 11 models.

Lakes Modify the Magnitude and Timing of the Northern Hemisphere Terrestrial Cryosphere Radiative Effect

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Abstract Vast areas of Earth's Northern Hemisphere are covered in lakes that form seasonal ice cover, yet their influence on the terrestrial Cryosphere Radiative Effect (CrREt) has not previously been quantified. Here we use 22 years of satellite data to constrain the contribution of lakes to CrREt.

Elimination of TOA corrosion limits [PDF]

, 1959
In 1958, planned large scale use of the new I & E slug geometry at more severe operating conditions than had been generally experienced suggested a possible compromise in reactor life and safety if a reasonable degree of rupture control with the new type of element was not maintained.

Comparison of Semidistributed Multinode TOA-DOA Fusion Localization and GPS-Aided TOA (DOA) Fusion Localization for MANETs

, 2008
This paper evaluates the performance of a semidistributed multinode time-of-arrival (TOA) and direction-of-arrival (DOA) fusion localization technique in terms of localization circular error probability (CEP).

More Stabilizing Radiative Feedbacks in CO2 Removal Scenarios

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Abstract Recent studies show that global mean surface temperature exhibits a transient hysteresis during CO2 ${\mathrm{C}\mathrm{O}}_{2}$ removal, where temperatures remain elevated after CO2 ${\mathrm{C}\mathrm{O}}_{2}$ concentrations return to pre‐industrial levels.
