Diffuse auroral precipitation driven by lower-band chorus second harmonics
Scattering by the upper- and lower-band chorus waves are the dominant cause of diffuse auroral precipitation. Here, we show that the lower-band chorus alone satisfies the preferred condition for the generation of second harmonics to trigger the diffuse auroral electron precipitation.
Parallel computers are fundamentally more energy efficient than serial computers
Energy consumption and in turn heat dissipation is a core obstacle in the quest of engineering ever more faster computers. We show massive parallelization of computing hardware and software offers a way to further increase energy efficiency of computers by orders of magnitude.
A novel, combined leukemic and infection model to study the antigen-specific T cell response in the context of chronic lymphocytic leukemia
The authors have set-up a novel murine model to study CLL-induced T-cell dysfunction.
