Coherent Control of Single Molecules via Phase-Shaped Two-Photon Excitation at Room Temperature by Xin-peng Xu, Tobias M. Herkenrath, Ullrich Scherf, Richard Hildner

“…These data indicate that coherent control of single molecules requires optimization of parameters for each individual molecule. The experimental data are reproduced by a simple model that allows to directly retrieve the 2-photon absorption spectrum of each single molecule. …”

A Field-to-Parameter Pipeline for Analyzing and Simulating Root System Architecture of Woody Perennials: Application to Grapevine Rootstocks by Lukas Fichtl, Daniel Leitner, Andrea Schnepf, Dominik Schmidt, Katrin Kahlen, Matthias Friedel

“…We then parameterized it to simulate genotype-specific growth patterns of grapevine rootstocks and integrated root hydraulic properties to derive a standard uptake fraction (SUF) for each genotype. Results demonstrated that excavation and in situ digitization accurately reflected the spatial structure of root systems, despite some underestimation of fine root length. …”

The “guild” concept in riparian ecology: Use, limitations and prospects for improving the reproducibility and transferability of results by Philippe Janssen

“…To improve the comparability of studies between riparian systems, but also to obtain a more mechanistic and reproducible understanding of the effects of environmental change on riparian plant community, it would be beneficial i) to focus on a more limited number of traits, shared between studies; ii) to preserve as much as possible the information contained in quantitative traits; iii) not to mix traits reflecting the morphological response of species with traits linked to their ecological requirements; iv) to always test the relationship between each individual trait and the environmental variables studied.…”

A Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis Method Incorporating Physics-Based Simulation and Ground Motion Prediction Equation by Zhenning Ba, Jingxuan Zhao, Yushan Zhang, Mengtao Wu, Shaocong Mu

“…In this study, building on the theoretical framework of the China Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis (CPSHA) method, we integrated the hierarchical potential focal region model from the fifth-generation seismic ground motion parameters zonation map of China and an appropriate seismicity model reflecting spatial distribution characteristics. Ground motion parameters at the target scale were calculated using PBS for near-field seismic simulations and ground motion prediction equations (GMPEs) for far-field seismic predictions, accounting for the uncertainties in ground motion attenuation from both methods to compute the seismic hazard of each site. …”

University Students' Perspectives on Synchronous, Asynchronous, and Combined Virtual Learning Environments: Lessons Learned from the COVID-19 Pandemic by Rasoul Bakhtiari, Zahra Habibzadeh

“…Furthermore, it helped maintain engagement by reducing repetitive content, boredom, and motivational slumps.Conclusion: This research suggests that educators teaching online courses should adopt a multi-modal communication strategy to address the limitations of each approach. By employing a range of communication methods, professors can leverage the strengths of each approach while mitigating its weaknesses.…”

Performance and Scalability of Data Cleaning and Preprocessing Tools: A Benchmark on Large Real-World Datasets by Pedro Martins, Filipe Cardoso, Paulo Váz, José Silva, Maryam Abbasi

“…In this paper, we present a comprehensive evaluation of five widely used data cleaning tools—OpenRefine, Dedupe, Great Expectations, TidyData (PyJanitor), and a baseline Pandas pipeline—applied to large-scale, messy datasets spanning three domains (healthcare, finance, and industrial telemetry). We benchmark each tool on dataset sizes ranging from 1 million to 100 million records, measuring execution time, memory usage, error detection accuracy, and scalability under increasing data volumes. …”
