Towards developing an operational Indian ocean dipole warning system for Southeast Asia by Shipra Jain, Thea Turkington, Wee Leng Tan, Chen Schwartz, Adam A. Scaife, Theodore G. Shepherd

“…We examined how subjective choices such as observational datasets, baseline periods, and time averaging affect IOD event identification. Our findings indicate that the choice of sea-surface temperature dataset and time averaging (monthly vs. 3-monthly mean) lead to marked differences in the Dipole Mode Index (DMI), the index used for the monitoring and prediction of IOD events, and hence between various centers on IOD state. …”

Manipulation of magnetic edge states in carbon quantum dots for magnetic resonance imaging and NIR-II photo-thermoelectric therapy by Tesen Zhang, Quansheng Cheng, Hongwei Cheng, Qingcheng Wang, Bingzhe Wang, Bohan Zhang, Handong Sun, Chuxia Deng, Zikang Tang

“…Furthermore, a series of near-infrared (NIR) absorption bandgaps are produced based on spin–orbit coupling and dipole–dipole interactions, exhibiting potential in photothermal and thermoelectric catalysis. By modulating the surface ligands and solvent, relaxation rates are accelerated through spin averaging, which results in CQDs serving as desirable T1 contrast agents with the highest relaxivity for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and NIR-II cancer therapy agents. …”

Active layer and permafrost microbial community coalescence increases soil activity and diversity in mixed communities compared to permafrost alone by Stacey J. Doherty, Alison K. Thurston, Robyn A. Barbato

“…Active layer soil and permafrost collected from two sites in Alaska were mixed in five different ratios and incubated for 100 days at 10°C to reflect current maximum surface soil temperatures at these sites. Respiration rates were highest in the 100% active layer soils, averaging 19.8 μg C-CO2 g–1 dry soil d–1 across both sites, and decreased linearly as the ratio of permafrost increased. …”
