Constraints on Heavy Neutrino and SUSY Parameters Derived from the Study of Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay by Andrei Neacsu, Sabin Stoica

“…For derivation, we use new values of both phase space factors (PSFs) and nuclear matrix elements (NMEs) calculated with numerical codes developed recently, as well as the most recent experimental lifetimes. The NMEs are computed with a shell model (ShM) code for  48Ca,  76Ge, and  82Se nuclei, while at present similar ShM results are available only for the first nucleus. …”

Exposure of larval pinto abalone to ocean acidification and warming negatively impacts survival, settlement, and size by Eileen H. Bates, Ryan N. Crim, Joshua V. Bouma, Jodie Toft, Jacqueline L. Padilla-Gamiño

“…We conducted an experiment to test how seawater pH and temperature stress impact abalone larvae. We exposed abalone post-fertilization to elevated temperature and reduced seawater pH for ten days spanning their larval development period: (1) 7.95pH/14°C (ambient), (2) 7.60pH/14°C, (3) 7.95pH/18°C, and (4) 7.60pH/18°C. …”

Economic viability assessment of European flat oyster restoration on offshore windfarm infrastructure by Jacobs Pascalle, van der Hiele Tony, Heringa Jouke, Verbeeke Gabrielle P., Tonk Linda, ter Hofstede Remment, van Houcke Jasper

“…The main conclusions from this exercise were that: 1. based on investment value, the scenarios ‘adult loose on the seafloor’, ‘adults in cages’ and ‘spat on shells’ had the highest revenues per Euro invested; 2. adding substrate in the years post-deployment increased cost-effectiveness in the model for all scenarios, and 3. the time post-deployment to reach a self-sustaining adult oyster population was, with 8–10 yr, shortest for the scenarios 'spat settled on shells' and the combined scenario of 'adults placed loose on the seafloor' and 'spat settled on shells'.…”

A novel method to quantify the uncertainty contribution of aerosol–radiation interaction factors by B. He, C. Zhao

“…As an application of the CP method, it performs a detailed analysis of aerosol–radiation interaction factors' uncertainty contributions. The top three most sensitive factors are the complex refractive index of aerosol shell materials, light-absorbing carbon parameters, and Mie theory parameters. …”
