Sources of Uncertainty in Mid-Tropospheric Tropical Humidity in Global Storm-Resolving Simulations
(2023)Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth SystemsWe conduct a series of eight 45-day experiments with a global storm-resolving model (GSRM) to test the sensitivity of relative humidity R. in the tropics to changes in model resolution and parameterizations. These changes include changes in horizontal and vertical grid spacing as well as in the parameterizations of microphysics and turbulence, and are chosen to capture currently existing differences among GSRMs. To link the R. distribution ...Journal Article -
A CMOS-based highly scalable flexible neural electrode interface
(2023)Science AdvancesPerception, thoughts, and actions are encoded by the coordinated activity of large neuronal populations spread over large areas. However, existing electrophysiological devices are limited by their scalability in capturing this cortex-wide activity. Here, we developed an electrode connector based on an ultra-conformable thin-film electrode array that self-assembles onto silicon microelectrode arrays enabling multithousand channel counts ...Journal Article -
Dominance of benthic fluxes in the oceanic beryllium budget and implications for paleo-denudation records
(2023)Science AdvancesThe ratio of atmosphere-derived 10Be to continent-derived 9Be in marine sediments has been used to probe the long-term relationship between continental denudation and climate. However, its application is complicated by uncertainty in 9Be transfer through the land-ocean interface. The riverine dissolved load alone is insufficient to close the marine 9Be budget, largely due to substantial removal of riverine 9Be to continental margin ...Journal Article -
The Impact of Zooplankton Calcifiers on the Marine Carbon Cycle
(2023)Global Biogeochemical CyclesShelled pteropods and planktic foraminifers are calcifying zooplankton that contribute to the biological carbon pump via the sinking of their calcareous shells. However, their importance for regional and global plankton biomass and carbon fluxes is not well understood. Here, we modeled global annual patterns of pteropod and foraminifer total carbon (TC) biomass and total inorganic carbon (TIC) export fluxes over the top 200 m using five ...Journal Article -
Digital tools to improve parenting behaviour in low-income settings: a mixed-methods feasibility study
(2023)Archives of Disease in ChildhoodIntroduction Digital parenting interventions could be potentially cost-effective means for providing early child development services in low-income settings. This 5-month mixed-methods pilot study evaluated the feasibility of using Afinidata, a comprehensive Facebook Messenger-based digital parenting intervention in a remote rural setting in Latin America and explored necessary adaptations to local context. Methods The study was conducted ...Journal Article -
Near-bed stratification controls bottom hypoxia in ice-covered alpine lakes
(2023)Limnology and OceanographyIn ice-covered lakes, near-bottom oxygen concentration decreases for most of the wintertime, sometimes down to the point that bottom waters become hypoxic. Studies insofar have reached divergent conclusions on whether climate change limits or reinforces the extent and duration of hypoxia under ice, raising the need for a comprehensive understanding of the drivers of the dissolved oxygen (DO) dynamics under lake ice. Using high-temporal ...Journal Article -
Exploring the epidemiology of mcr genes, genetic context and plasmids in Enterobacteriaceae originating from pigs and humans on farms in Thailand
(2023)Journal of Antimicrobial ChemotherapyObjectives: In veterinary medicine, colistin has been widely used as therapeutic and prophylactic agent, and for growth promotion. However, colistin has been re-introduced into treatment of human MDR bacterial infections. We assessed the characteristics and spread of plasmid-borne colistin resistance among healthy pigs, workers with animal-contact and their household members in Thailand. Methods: WGS and MIC data of 146 mcr-positive ...Journal Article -
Timing, Thrusting Mode, and Negative Inversion Along the Circeo Thrust, Apennines, Italy: How the Accretion-To-Extension Transition Operated During Slab Rollback
(2023)TectonicsThe evolution of the Apennine wedge has seen the time-space migration of the forebulge, foredeep, thrust wedge, and back-arc extension phases in the wake of the Eastward rollback of the subducting Adria slab. In this framework, thrusting and post-orogenic extensional faulting have occurred in two parallel forelandward-migrating ribbons, with extensional deformation overprinting or partly exploiting anisotropies of the inherited thrust ...Journal Article -
VISITOR: Visual Interactive State Sequence Exploration for Reinforcement Learning
(2023)Computer Graphics ForumUnderstanding the behavior of deep reinforcement learning agents is a crucial requirement throughout their development. Existing work has addressed the identification of observable behavioral patterns in state sequences or analysis of isolated internal representations; however, the overall decision-making of deep-learning RL agents remains opaque. To tackle this, we present VISITOR, a visual analytics system enabling the analysis of entire ...Journal Article -
Hypocenter-Based 3D Imaging of Active Faults: Method and Applications in the Southwestern Swiss Alps
(2023)Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid EarthDespite the fact that earthquake occurrence can be strongly influenced by the architecture of pre-existing faults, it remains challenging to obtain information about the detailed subsurface geometries of active fault systems. Current geophysical methods for studying such systems often fail to resolve geometrical complexities at sufficiently high spatial resolutions. In this work, we present a novel method for imaging the detailed 3D ...Journal Article
