The composition and weathering of the continents over geologic time
...
The composition of continental crust records the balance between construction by tectonics and destruction by physical and chemical erosion. Quantitative constraints on how igneous addition and chemical weathering have modified the continents’ bulk composition are essential for understanding the evolution of geodynamics and climate. Using novel dat...
Ethics of returning children's individual research findings : from principles to practice
Little ethical recommendations on returning children's individual research findings are available for researchers in behavioral sciences, especially when compared to genetic research. Anecdotic evidence suggests that since parents are often interested in their child's individual research findings, researchers tend to offer this information as a for...
Engagement, Acceptability, Usability, and Preliminary Efficacy of a Self-Monitoring Mobile Health Intervention to Reduce...
Published in JMIR mHealth and uHealth
Background Although healthy aging can be stimulated by the reduction of sedentary behavior, few interventions are available for older adults. Previous studies suggest that self-monitoring might be a promising behavior change technique to reduce older adults’ sedentary behavior. However, little is known about older adults’ experiences with a self-mo...
A survey of pathways for mechano-electric coupling in the atria
Mechano-electric coupling (MEC) in atrial tissue has received sparse investigation to date, despite the well-known association between chronic atrial dilation and atrial fibrillation (AF). Of note, no fewer than six different mechanisms pertaining to stretch-activated channels, cellular capacitance and geometric effects have been identified in the ...
Combining pontryagin's principle and dynamic programming for linear and nonlinear systems
To study optimal control and disturbance attenuation problems, two prominent-and somewhat alternative-strategies have emerged in the last century: dynamic programming (DP) and Pontryagin's minimum principle (PMP). The former characterizes the solution by shaping the dynamics in a closed loop (a priori unknown) via the selection of a feedback input,...
Reemergence of anthropogenic carbon into the ocean's mixed layer strongly amplifies transient climate sensitivity
A positive marine chemistry‐climate feedback was originally proposed by Revelle and Suess (1957, https://doi.org/10.3402/tellusa.v9i1.9075), whereby the invasion flux of anthropogenic carbon into the ocean serves to inhibit future marine CO2 uptake through reductions to the buffering capacity of surface seawater. Here we use an ocean circulation‐ca...

Response of surface shortwave cloud radiative effect to greenhouse gases and aerosols and its impact on summer maximum t...
Shortwave cloud radiative effects (SWCREs), defined as the difference of the shortwave radiative flux between all-sky and clear-sky conditions at the surface, have been reported to play an important role in influencing the Earth's energy budget and temperature extremes. In this study, we employed a set of global climate models to examine the SWCRE ...
A Theoretical Framework for Stability Regions for Standing Balance of Humanoids Based on Their LIPM Treatment
The aim of this paper is to construct a theoretical framework for stability analysis relevant to standing balance of humanoids on top of the linear inverted pendulum model, in which their dynamics between the center of mass (CoM) and the zero moment point (ZMP) is dealt with. Based on the well-known sufficient condition that the contact between the...
