Kinetic Network Modeling of the Catalytic Upgrading of Biomass's Acetate Fraction to Aromatics

Jeremy Luterbacher, Jher Hau Yeap, Bartosz Rozmyslowicz, Ahmed Mohamed Ibrahim Elkhaiary

The acetate fraction is the fourth most abundant fraction by weight in many plant species and can be easily extracted as acetic acid in high yields. We have previously shown that acetic acid obtained from steam pretreated beech wood could be upgraded in a ...

Chronic warming and dry soils limit carbon uptake and growth despite a longer growing season in beech and oak

Yann Vitasse, Charlotte Grossiord, Margaux Clara Lou Didion-Gency

Progressively warmer and drier climatic conditions impact tree phenology and carbon cycling with large consequences for forest carbon balance. However, it remains unclear how individual impacts of warming and drier soils differ from their combined effects ...

Surprise and novelty in the brain

Wulfram Gerstner, Johanni Michael Brea, Alireza Modirshanechi, Sophia Becker

Notions of surprise and novelty have been used in various experimental and theoretical studies across multiple brain areas and species. However, 'surprise' and 'novelty' refer to different quantities in different studies, which raises concerns about whethe ...

Mean Field Type Control With Species Dependent Dynamics via Structured Tensor Optimization

Axel Ringh, Yiqiang Chen, Isabel Haasler

In this letter we consider mean field type control problems with multiple species that have different dynamics. We formulate the discretized problem using a new type of entropy-regularized multimarginal optimal transport problems where the cost is a decomp ...
