A new statistical method of rapid event attribution for probability of extreme events: applications to heatwave events in Japan by Chiharu Takahashi, Yukiko Imada, Hiroaki Kawase, Tomohiro Tanaka

“…We propose the new methodology to estimate parameters of a distribution function as a function of global sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies or equivalent atmospheric variables under factual climate conditions and counterfactual non-warming climate conditions using a regression model, which enables us to incorporate the influence of underlying oceanic natural variability into the EA system. …”

Soil methane emission suppression control using unmanned aircraft vehicle swarm application of biochar mulch - A simulation study by Di An, Derek Hollenbeck, Kai Cao, YangQuan Chen

“…The results show that when α ​= ​0.8 and β ​= ​1.8, the shape and emissions of methane perform well. Furthermore, our approach resulted in great control performance with multiple methane emission sources and different wind velocities and directions.…”

Temperature and WNK-SPAK/OSR1 Kinases Dynamically Regulate Antiviral Human GFP-MxA Biomolecular Condensates in Oral Cancer Cells by Pravin B. Sehgal, Huijuan Yuan, Susan V. DiSenso-Browne

“…Unexpectedly, the WNK1-selective inhibitor (WNK-IN-11), triggered a dramatic and rapid (within 1 h) spheroid to fibril transition of GFP-MxA condensates in live cells, but without affecting MxA antiviral function. The new data suggest a novel hypothesis for the anatomic localization of oral cancer in the U-shaped “high-risk” zone in the mouth: dysfunction of biomolecular condensates in oral cells along the beverage transit pathway through the mouth due to repetitive tonicity and temperature stresses that might underlie a prooncogenic progression.…”
