Causes of 2022 Pakistan flooding and its linkage with China and Europe heatwaves
Compounding factors occurring simultaneously caused the severe Pakistan flooding in summer 2022. Warming trends in recent decades contributed to the extremeness of the event. A large-scale atmospheric wave connected the flooding with heatwaves and droughts in Europe and China.
Scalable and Eco-Friendly Flexible Loudspeakers for Distributed Human-Machine Interactions
A scalable flexible loudspeaker that can play high-quality audio is proposed, with advantages of bio-degradability, easy-fabrication, flexible-customization, strong-durability, and good output performance.
Artificial intelligence enables precise integration of spatial transcriptomics data
With the rapid generation of spatial transcriptomics (ST) data, integrative analysis of multiple ST datasets can provide more comprehensive characterizations of spatial tissue structures. We develop a powerful artificial intelligence method for integrating multiple spatial transcriptomics datasets.
Heterodox school of thought, geoAI-ML, big data analytics, and agent-based modelling to represent the human dimension in climate-energy-economic models
In most climate-energy-economy models, a key assumption rules analysis. Millions of consumers are deliberately represented as a single agent that takes prices as given, making rational choices with perfect knowledge of markets under rational expectations to maximize welfare under budget constraints.
