Access and Retrieval of Recent Journal Articles: A Comparative Study of Chemists and Geoscientists by Julie Hallmark

“…Not surprisingly, a majority of respondents in both disciplines reported using the Internet for both access and retrieval, and many added insightful, substantive remarks that added depth and detail to the data analysis. The return rates of 75% in geoscience and 57% in chemistry suggest a high level of concern among these scientists for their journal literature. …”

Nucleon decay as a probe of flavor symmetry: the case of fake unification by Masahiro Ibe, Satoshi Shirai, Keiichi Watanabe

“…By introducing flavor symmetry through the FN mechanism, the model addresses the flavor puzzle of quark and lepton mass hierarchies and mixing patterns. Our analysis demonstrates that nucleon decay rates and branching fractions in the fake GUT are sensitive to flavor symmetry, providing a means to distinguish it from conventional GUT predictions. …”

Coastal aquifers key contributors to ocean chemistry through solute fluxes by Yael Kiro

“…Moreover, they are dynamically linked to sea-level changes: falling sea levels enhance SGD-driven solute inputs, whereas rising sea levels suppress them. These patterns suggest that SGD fluxes may regulate long-term climate trends, including rates of global cooling or warming.…”

Solar FaultNet: Advanced Fault Detection and Classification in Solar PV Systems Using SwinProba‐GeNet and BaBa Optimizer Models by Praveen Kumar Balachandran, Muhammad Ammirrul Atiqi Mohd Zainuri, Faisal Alsaif

“…It also proposes the Solar FaultNet‐a novel deep learning‐based approach that significantly improves fault detection performance in solar PV systems and integrates the model with state‐of‐the‐art ML techniques like CNN and LSTM to capture inherent complex patterns and interdependencies of fault data. Besides, the proposed model outperforms conventional machine‐learning algorithms and state‐of‐the‐art deep‐ learning models for better performance by yielding higher accuracy, precision, recall, F1‐score, and low error rate on various fault types such as PV array faults, inverter faults, grid synchronization faults, and environmental faults. …”
