Reconstructing Galaxy Cluster Mass Maps using Score-based Generative Modeling by Alan Hsu, Matthew Ho, Joyce Lin, Carleen Markey, Michelle Ntampaka, Hy Trac, Barnabás Póczos

“…We present a novel approach to reconstruct gas and dark matter projected density maps of galaxy clusters using score-based generative modeling. Our diffusion model takes in mock SZ and X-ray images as conditional inputs, and generates realizations of corresponding gas and dark matter maps by sampling from a learned data posterior. …”

Correlation between the Results of Sequential Extraction and Effectiveness of Immobilization Treatment of Lead- and Cadmium-Contaminated Sediment by Milena B. Dalmacija, Miljana D. J. Prica, Bozo D. Dalmacija, Srdjan D. Roncevic, Ljiljana M. Rajic

“…Generally, the test results indicated that all applied S/S treatments were effective in immobilizing Pb and Cd, and the treated sediments may be considered acceptable for “controlled utilization” based on LX values, irrespective of their different availability in the untreated samples. In the majority of samples, the controlling leaching mechanism appeared to be diffusion, which indicates that a slow leaching of Cd and Pb could be expected when the above S/S agents were applied. …”
