Innovations for pesticide application must consider environmental impact
(2024)Nature FoodInnovation in pesticide application is urgently needed. However, recent approaches, such as employing full-service pesticide contractors or utilizing artificial intelligence for pest control, may prioritize economic and production outcomes over environmental protection and public health. Here, we explore these propositions, their associated risks, and suggest a pathway for sustainable, risk-reduced pesticide decisions.Journal Article -
Improving the Foreshock Traffic Light Systems for Real-Time Discrimination Between Foreshocks and Aftershocks
(2024)Seismological Research LettersAfter a moderate-to-large earthquake, Civil Protection, scientists, the population, and decision makers immediately ask: “Was this the mainshock, or is a bigger event yet to come?” According to the current state of the art, the probability that an even larger event will occur within five days and 10 km after a moderate earthquake is typically 5%. Recent work proposes that a more specific answer to this question is possible (Gulia and ...Journal Article -
A Synoptic-Dynamic View of the Millennium Drought (2001–2009) in Southeastern Australia
(2024)Journal of Geophysical Research: AtmospheresAustralia has had several severe droughts in its recent history. Most studies have linked these droughts to large-scale modes of variability, whereas few studies have investigated droughts from the perspective of weather systems. The current study examines a wide range of weather systems focusing especially on heavy rainfall events, which are important to meteorological drought. Two distinct phases (development and recovery) are identified ...Journal Article -
Helping clinicians debrief themselves: a simple how-to guide
(2024)British Journal of AnaesthesiaThe operating theatre is a dynamic and challenging environment where effective teamwork is essential. Routine clinical debriefings, which involve brief reflections on collaboration to identify successes and areas for improvement, have proved to enhance teamwork, particularly in the operating theatre. However, barriers such as time constraints, conflicting priorities, and a lack of standardised debriefing processes hinder their regular ...Other Journal Item -
Regret optimal control for uncertain stochastic systems
(2024)European Journal of ControlWe consider control of uncertain linear time-varying stochastic systems from the perspective of regret minimization. Specifically, we focus on the problem of designing a feedback controller that minimizes the loss relative to a clairvoyant optimal policy that has foreknowledge of both the system dynamics and the exogenous disturbances. In this competitive framework, establishing robustness guarantees proves challenging as, differently ...Journal Article -
Homonuclear Super‐Resolution NMR Spectroscopy
(2024)Angewandte Chemie. International EditionIn homonuclear 1H NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) spectra such as [1H,1H]-NOESY (Nuclear Overhauser Enhancement spectroscopy), which is a historic cornerstone spectrum for biomolecular NMR structural biology, hundreds to thousands of cross peaks are present within a square of approximately 100 ppm2 leading to a lot of signal overlap. Spectral resolution is thus a limiting factor for unambiguous chemical shift assignment and data ...Journal Article -

Simulation-Based Evaluation of Resilience-Enhancing Measures for Transportation Systems Subject to Hydrometeorological Hazard Events
(2024)Journal of Infrastructure SystemsThis paper identifies the essential requirements for simulation-based approaches such that these approaches serve as effective decision support tools for evaluating the effectiveness of climate-adaptation measures that enhance the resilience of transport systems against hydrometeorological events. These needs include the ability to capture the effect of different types of measures, the spatial and temporal possibilities of their execution, ...Journal Article -
Enhanced Blocking Frequencies in Very‐High Resolution Idealized Climate Model Simulations
(2024)Geophysical Research LettersAtmospheric blocking is a key dynamical phenomenon in the mid- and high latitudes, able to drive day-to-day weather changes and meteorological extremes such as heatwaves, droughts and cold waves. Current global circulation models struggle to fully capture observed blocking frequencies, likely because of their coarse horizontal resolution. Here we use convection permitting, nested idealized model simulations for quantifying changes in ...Journal Article -
Building a better lawyer: Experimental evidence that artificial intelligence can increase legal work efficiency
(2024)Journal of Empirical Legal StudiesRapidly improving artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have created opportunities for human-machine cooperation in legal practice. We provide evidence from an experiment with law students (N = 206) on the causal impact of machine assistance on the efficiency of legal task completion in a private law setting with natural language inputs and multidimensional AI outputs. We tested two forms of machine assistance: AI-generated summaries ...Journal Article -
Impact of stress regime change on the permeability of a naturally fractured carbonate buildup (Latemar, the Dolomites, northern Italy)
(2024)Solid EarthChanging stress regimes control fracture network geometry and influence porosity and permeability in carbonate reservoirs. Using outcrop data analysis and a displacement-based linear elastic finite-element method, we investigate the impact of stress regime change on fracture network permeability. The model is based on fracture networks, specifically fracture substructures. The Latemar, predominantly affected by subsidence deformation and ...Journal Article -
Topological entropy of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms: a persistence homology and Floer theory perspective
(2024)Mathematische ZeitschriftWe study topological entropy of compactly supported Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms from a perspective of persistent homology and Floer theory. We introduce barcode entropy, a Floer-theoretic invariant of a Hamiltonian diffeomorphism, measuring exponential growth under iterations of the number of not-too-short bars in the barcode of the Floer complex. We prove that the barcode entropy is bounded from above by the topological entropy and, ...Journal Article -
Frequency-Dependent Internal Gate Resistance of SiC Power MOSFETs
(2024)IEEE Transactions on Electron DevicesThis article presents an analysis of the internal gate resistance of silicon carbide (SiC) power MOSFETs and its influence on the dynamic device performance. The internal gate resistance of SiC power MOSFETs features a frequency and voltage dependency that is not observed for silicon (Si) power MOSFETs, and hence, not investigated in mature Si device technology. Using numerical device modeling based on experimental electrical characterization, ...Journal Article -
Lignin-based porous carbon adsorbents for CO<sub>2</sub> capture
(2024)Chemical Society ReviewsA major driver of global climate change is the rising concentration of atmospheric CO2, the mitigation of which requires the development of efficient and sustainable carbon capture technologies. Solid porous adsorbents have emerged as promising alternatives to liquid amine counterparts due to their potential to reduce regeneration costs. Among them, porous carbons stand out for their high surface area, tailorable pore structure, and ...Review Article -
Harnessing oil and gas superprofits for climate action
(2024)Climate PolicyClimate change disproportionately harms low-income countries, whilst international climate finance to support them remains inadequate. Negotiations about the New Collective Quantified Goal (NCQG) centre around how to cover increasing needs of developing countries. Windfall profits of the fossil fuel industry, which benefits from this dominant source of greenhouse gas emissions, could contribute to mobilizing more finance, both for the ...Other Journal Item -
Proof of Grinblat's conjecture on rainbow matchings in multigraphs
(2024)Israel Journal of MathematicsMany well-known problems in combinatorics can be reduced to finding a large rainbow structure in a certain edge-coloured multigraph. Two celebrated examples of this are Ringel's tree packing conjecture and Ryser's conjecture on transversals in Latin squares. In this paper, we answer such a question raised by Grinblat twenty years ago. Let an (n, v)-multigraph be an n-edge-coloured multigraph in which the edges of each colour span a disjoint ...Journal Article -
ROS Generation by Fullerenes for Biology and Nanotechnology
(2024)Journal of Synthetic Organic Chemistry, JapanDue to their efficient production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) under visible light irradiation, fullerenes (C₆₀ and C₇₀) are useful photosensitizers for applications in photodynamic therapy (PDT). To be suitable as medicines, water-soluble fullerene materials were developed by complexation or conjugation with biocompatible polymers such as poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) and polyethylene glycol (PEG), and their ROS generation abilities ...Journal Article -
Identifying Causal Effects using Instrumental Time Series: Nuisance IV and Correcting for the Past
(2024)Journal of Machine Learning ResearchInstrumental variable (IV) regression relies on instruments to infer causal effects from observational data with unobserved confounding. We consider IV regression in time series models, such as vector auto-regressive (VAR) processes. Direct applications of i.i.d. techniques are generally inconsistent as they do not correctly adjust for dependencies in the past. In this paper, we outline the difficulties that arise due to time structure ...Journal Article
