Accurate space-based NO_<i>x</i> emission estimates with the flux divergence approach require fine-scale model information on local oxidation chemistry and profile shapes by F. Cifuentes, F. Cifuentes, H. Eskes, E. Dammers, E. Dammers, C. Bryan, F. Boersma, F. Boersma

“…Our results show that the FDA captures the magnitude and spatial distribution of the <span class="inline-formula">NO_<i>x</i></span> emissions to high accuracy (absolute bias <span class="inline-formula">&lt;9</span> %), provided that the observations represent the <span class="inline-formula">NO₂</span> column in the boundary layer, that wind speed and direction are representative for the boundary layer (PBL) column, and that the high-resolution spatiotemporal variability of the <span class="inline-formula">NO₂</span> lifetimes and <span class="inline-formula">NO_<i>x</i>:NO₂</span> ratio is accounted for in the inversion instead of using single fixed values. …”

Componentes y Dinámica Natural del Ambiente - Ciudad de Neuquén- by Olga Capua, Elsie Marcela Jurio

“…Se debe considerar que, para una mejor comprensión de la naturaleza y por ende para un adecuado ordenamiento territorial, es imprescindible conocer la dinámica natural de las regiones secas, la que pone en evidencia la diversidad de procesos morfogenéticos responsables de los modelados actuales. En el marco de las características climáticas imperantes, los procesos pedogenéticos o edáficos son débiles permitiendo de esta manera, que los procesos iniciales de meteorización o intemperismo, actúen directamente sobre los afloramientos rocosos influyendo sobre el modelado. …”

ReluformerN: Lightweight High-Low Frequency Enhanced for Hyperspectral Agricultural Lancover Classification by LIU Yi, ZHANG Yanjun

“…Secondly, a Reluformer was proposed to extract global features, taking advantage of the fact that low-frequency information could capture global features. Reluformer replaced the softmax function with a function of quadratic computational complexity, and through theoretical and graphical analysised, Relu function, LeakRelu function, and Gelu function were compared, it was found that the ReLU function and the softmax function both had non-negativity, which could be used for feature relevance analysis. …”

Antenatal Care - How to ensure quality! by Lubna Ejaz

“…Previously, the quality of ANC was assessed by the number of antenatal visits (ANVs) of a pregnant woman with healthcare providers (contact coverage), but now this indicator of the quality of ANC is no longer accepted because it measures contact frequency without looking into the content of the care actually received during ANVs. Discerning the true picture of ANC quality demands the details of each ANV about the four essential parameters including: WHO recommended indicators, effective utilization of health services, doctors’ performance, and patients’ compliance4. …”

A Comparative Study of Mulla Sadra and Plantinga’s Views on the Issue of Evil by Masoumeh Ameri, Farida Rezaei

“…He believes that a real justification for evils cannot be found, thus he tries to prove the possibility or probability of rational justification by God for the existence of evils.Plantinga’s solutions to the issue of evil include explaining possible worlds and free will defense.In some of the new terms that form the basis of Plantinga’s arguments, there are fallacies or errors, which include pervasive evil and the critique of the realization of possible worlds and not their actuality.Similarities between Mulla Sadra’s and Plantinga’s views include belief in the existence of God, the absolute and unlimited knowledge of God, and belief in God’s absolute power and benevolence.Differences between Mulla Sadra’s and Plantinga’s views include the difference in the type of approach and the predominance of a logical view of the issue of evil by Plantinga as opposed to Mulla Sadra, the inherent nature of sin and pervasive evil, and Mulla Sadra’s defense of the theory of divine justice and Plantinga’s lack of defense in this regard. …”

BDC-DAL: A new algorithm using blueprint difference convolution and dual auxiliary supervision for lightweight face anti-spoofing(BDC-DAL：基于蓝图差分卷积和双重辅助监督的轻量化人脸活体检测算法)... by 叶继华(YE Jihua), 梁芳昕(LIANG Fangxin), 王超(WANG Chao), 肖顺杰(XIAO Shunjie), 宗义(ZONG Yi), 江爱文(JIANG Aiwen)

“…This novel approach effectively reduces the parameters and computation of the model by combining a lightweight convolutional structure and blueprint difference convolutional design, while retaining the ability to capture complex fine-grained features. In addition, the introduced dual auxiliary supervision mechanism utilizes the reconstruction process of supervised signals to learn subtle spoof clues, which significantly improves the robustness of the model to unknown attack scenarios. …”
