The global transport of heat and momentum in turbulent convection is constrained by thin thermal and viscous boundary layers at the heated and cool ...

Using data from rural monitoring sites across the contiguous United States, we evaluated fine particulate matter (PM2.5) trends for 1988–2016. We calculate trends in the policy-relevant 98th quanti ...

Discover groundbreaking research on psychological and cognitive sciences, exploring brain function, behavior, and mechanisms shaping human cognition.

The principle factor controlling the heat flux from the core is the ability of the thermal boundary layer overlying the core-mantle boundary to conduct heat. Thermal conductivity of the lowermost ...

The valence band maxima of most group VI transition metal dichalcogenide thin films remain at the Γ point all of the way from bulk to bilayer. In this paper, we develop a continuum theory of the moiré ...

Although the impacts of the loss of biodiversity on ecosystem functioning are well established, the importance of the loss of biodiversity relative to other human-caused drivers of environmental ...

Water droplets on rugged hydrophobic surfaces typically exhibit one of the following two states: (i) the Wenzel state [Wenzel RN (1936) Ind Eng Che ...

Principal components analysis and, more generally, the Singular Value Decomposition are fundamental data analysis tools that express a data matrix ...

Many cities seek to alleviate extreme heat via planting trees. However, the cooling achieved by such programs is debated because previous analyses address scales much smaller than the whole-city scale ...

Evolutionary optimization is a subject of intense interest in many fields of study, including computational chemistry, biology, bioinformatics, economics, computational science, geophysics, and ...

Terrorist attacks on transportation networks have traumatized modern societies. With a single blast, it has become possible to paralyze airline tra ...

Estimating the impacts of climate change is essential for analysis of both mitigation and adaptation policies. Our principal finding, that annual electricity consumption increases by 9.2% per +1 °C in ...
