Decarbonization and technology cost drivers: considerations for potential future thermoelectric water use in the power sector by Stuart Cohen, Raquel Valdez, Vincent Tidwell, Saroj Khanal, Thushara Gunda

“…Specifically, we evaluate four decarbonization scenarios for the contiguous United States that vary in assumptions concerning demand growth and technology costs, with technology costs driving alternative outcomes that prioritize either technologies that require low amounts of water (such as wind, solar, and battery) or high amounts of water (such as nuclear and carbon capture and storage). …”

LoSI: Large Scale Location Inference Through FM Signal Integration and Estimation by Tathagata Mukherjee, Piyush Kumar, Debdeep Pati, Erik Blasch, Eduardo Pasiliao, Liqin Xu

“…The algorithm uses a large-scale model estimation phase that computes the expected FM spectrum in small rectangular cells (realized using geohashes) across the Contiguous United States (CONUS). We define and use Dominant Channel Descriptor (DCD) features, which can be used for positioning using time varying models. …”
