Simulation Framework for the Generation and Evolution of Synthetic Populations: From Hierarchical Snapshots to Longitudinal Data

Synthetic population generation provides detailed datasets when real data are unavailable, supporting research and policy analyses that require representative populations, with applications in transportation and many other fields. However, most existing methods focus on single-level data (e.g., individuals) or single-period snapshots, limiting their ability to capture hierarchical structures (e.g., households with members) and the temporal evolution of real populations. To address these limitations, this th

Application of Advanced Computational Models to Enhance the Performance of Lightning Location Systems

Since their advent in the early 20th century, lightning detection and location systems (LLSs) have become a substantial component of weather observation and undergone a remarkable evolution both in their capabilities and their performance. Nowadays, ground-based low-frequency lightning location systems are able to locate the strike point of cloud-to-ground lightning discharges with a median location error that is in the order of 100 - 150 m, and estimate the peak currents of lightning return strokes with re

Characterizing airborne snow metamorphism using stable water isotope measurements in snow and vapor from ring wind tunnel experiments

Drifting-blowing snow events are frequent phenomena in alpine and polar regions with direct effects on the local mass and energy balance that are difficult to quantify. In addition to this immediate impact of the blowing snow cloud the aeolian transport modifies the snow’s physical properties with implications for snowpack characteristics after deposition such as albedo or density. Apart from the mechanical fragmentation of crystals, this phenomenon of airborne snow metamorphism is thought to be due to subl

A gyrokinetic model for the plasma periphery of fusion devices

Understanding the turbulent dynamics of the plasma in the periphery of fusion devices - the region extending from the external part of the closed flux surface region to the scrape-off layer - is of crucial importance on the way to fusion energy. Indeed, this region largely controls the plasma heat exhaust, the plasma refueling, the level of fusion ashes and, also, the low-to-high (L-H) mode transition. In the present talk, a gyrokinetic model is presented that can properly consider the main elements at play

Monthly to decadal evolution of sandy beaches in the Pittwater estuary

Even if the total length of shorelines in low-wave environments like bays, sounds, lagoons and estuaries greatly exceed that of open-ocean coasts, the morphodynamics of such systems are poorly understood. Only few studies developed models to predict changes in these environments and these systems are often managed with the same policies as open ocean beaches. The Pittwater estuary is located in the north of Sydney, it is a drowned valley estuary with a well developed ood-tidal delta. The present study inves

Soil protistology rebooted: 30 fundamental questions to start with

Vincent Eric Jules Jassey, Enrique Lara

Protists are the most diverse eukaryotes. These microbes are keystone organisms of soil ecosystems and regulate essential processes of soil fertility such as nutrient cycling and plant growth. Despite this, protists have received little scientific attentio ...

Optimization of Conformational Dynamics in an Epistatic Evolutionary Trajectory

Luciano Andres Abriata

The understanding of protein evolution depends on the ability to relate the impact of mutations on molecular traits to organismal fitness. Biological activity and robustness have been regarded as important features in shaping protein evolutionary landscape ...

Miniaturized implantable sensors for in vivo localized temperature measurements in mice during cold exposure

We report on in vivo temperature measurements performed in mice at two specific sites of interest in the animal body over a period of several hours. In particular, the aim of this work was to monitor mouse metabolism during cold exposure, and to record possible temperature differences between the body temperature measured in the abdomen and the temperature of the brown adipose tissue (BAT) situated in the interscapular area. This approach is of biological interest as it may help unravelling the question whe

Analysis of lock-exchange gravity currents over smooth and rough beds

Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca

Gravity currents produced by full-depth lock-release of saline water into a fresh water tank are studied focusing on the influence of the initial density of the saline mixture in the lock and the bed roughness on gravity current kinematics. Temporal evolut ...

The validation project on the TORPEX basic plasma physics experiment

Ambrogio Fasoli, Ivo Furno, Sébastien Jolliet

Owing to its detailed diagnostics, feasibility of parameter scans, and relatively simple configuration, the basic plasma physics experiment TORPEX is an ideal testbed in which to perform experiment/simulation comparisons and to contribute to the establishment of the validation methodology. Focusing on observables related to Langmuir probe measurements, we consider a number of physical quantities that can be used as observables for experiment/simulation comparison. We classify the observables according to a

The digital design paradox

The emergence of computation in design is an ongoing evolution, rather than a technological revolution. Contemporary digital tools have influenced the image of architecture, as object, as shelter, and as icon – but digital design has yet to change our understanding of architecture, or alter its larger impact on the built world around us. Although design tools, including computation, and digital production are now well intertwined in architectural methodology, additional innovations are emerging which have p

Time evolution of correlations in strongly interacting fermions after a quantum quench

Using the adaptive time-dependent density-matrix renormalization group, we study the time evolution of density correlations of interacting spinless fermions on a one-dimensional lattice after a sudden change in the interaction strength. Over a broad range ...

Behavior of Plasma Rotation and Radial Electric-Field with Density Ramp Rate in an Ohmically Heated Tokamak

Basil Duval, Bernard Joye

Measurements of toroidal and poloidal rotation of the TCA plasma with Alfven wave heating and different levels of gas feed are reported. The temporal evolution of the rotation was inferred from intrinsic spectral lines of C V and C III, and, using injected helium gas, from He II. The light collection optics and line intensity permitted the evolution of the plasma rotation to be measured with a time resolution of 2 ms. The rotation velocities were used to deduce the radial electric field. With Alfven wave he

Measurement of Hydrogen Transport in Deuterium Discharges Using the Dynamic-Response of the Effective Mass

Basil Duval, Jonathan Bryan Lister, Bernard Joye

Particle tagging in a tokamak provides an attractive method for studying transport mechanisms. The injection of test particles at the plasma edge and the subsequent measurement of the evolution of their concentration at the centre can be used to quantify the underlying transport mechanisms. This has been carried out on the TCA tokamak by injecting hydrogen into a deuterium discharge and simultaneously measuring the temporal evolution of the central effective mass and the edge ionization rate.
