Stellar Blend Image Classification Using Computationally Efficient Gaussian Processes (MuyGPs)
(2024-04-05)
Stellar blends are a challenge in visualizing celestial bodies and are typically disambiguated through
expensive methods. To address this, we propose an automated pipeline to distinguish single stars
and blended stars ...
Optimal Upscaling with Transport Maps
(2024-04-04)
Partial differential equation models often involve space-dependent
parameters, such as diffusion coefficients and advection fields, that
cannot be measured explicitly and are therefore uncertain. Midpoint
(MP), spatial ...
Show Me a Function: More Than Meets the Eye
(2024-04-04)
Mathematics is a fascinating subject used to understand functions' properties and behavior. From simple precalculus to challenging graduate-level courses, there is an intricate web of functions to explore. Unfortunately, ...
Optimal Parameter Upscaling for Partial Differential Equation Models in Mathematical Biology
(2024-04-04)
Partial differential equation models in mathematical biology often involve space-dependent parameters, such as diffusion coefficients and advection fields, that cannot be measured explicitly and are therefore uncertain. ...
Data for: Multi-delay coherence imaging spectroscopy optimized for ion temperature measurements in the divertor plasma of the Wendelstein 7-X stellarator
(2024-03-15)
This public data set contains openly documented, machine-readable digital research data corresponding to figures in an article submitted to Review of Scientific Instruments. The data for each figure is stored as a netCDF ...
Ar/TTIP dust cloud

Anemonefish oxygenate their anemone hosts at night
(2023-09-20)
Many stony coral-dwelling fishes exhibit adaptations to deal with hypoxia among the branches of their hosts; however, no
information exists on the respiratory ecophysiology of obligate fish associates of non-coral organisms ...
Net superoxide levels: steeper increase with activity in cooler female and hotter male lizards
(2023-09-20)
Ectotherms increase their body temperature in response to ambient heat, thereby elevating their metabolic rate. An often inferred consequence of this is an overall upregulation of gene expression and energetic expenditure, ...
Can mixed assessment methods make biology classes more equitable
(2023-09-20)
Many factors have been proposed to explain the attrition of women in science, technology, engineering and math fields, among them the lower performance of women in introductory courses resulting from deficits in incoming ...
Ion acceleration inside foreshock transients
(2023-06-17)
Recent observations upstream of Earth's bow shock have revealed that foreshock transients can not only accelerate solar wind ions by reflection at their upstream boundaries but may also accelerate ions inside them. Evidence ...
Magnitude and Predictability of pH Fluctuations Shape Plastic Responses to Ocean Acidification
(2023-06-17)
Phenotypic plasticity is expected to facilitate the persistence of natural populations as global change progresses. The attributes of fluctuating environments that favor the evolution of plasticity have received extensive ...
Reptile Embryos Lack the Opportunity to Thermoregulate by Moving within the Egg
(2023-05-17)
Historically, egg-bound reptile embryos were thought to passively thermoconform to the nest environment. However, recent observations of thermal taxis by embryos of multiple reptile species have led to the widely discussed ...
Why are incubation periods longer in the tropics? A common-garden experiment with house wrens reveals it is all in the egg
(2023-05-17)
Incubation periods of Neotropical birds are often longer than those of related species at temperate latitudes. We conducted a common-garden experiment to test the hypothesis that longer tropical incubation periods result ...
Plumage color as a composite trait: Developmental and functional integration of sexual ornamentation
(2023-05-17)
Most studies of condition-dependent sexual ornaments have treated such ornaments as single traits. However, sexual ornaments are often composites of several components, each produced by partially independent developmental ...
Bacteria as an agent for change in structural plumage color: Correlational and experimental evidence
(2023-05-17)
Recent studies have documented that a diverse assemblage of bacteria is present on the feathers of wild birds and that uropygial oil affects these bacteria in diverse ways. These findings suggest that birds may regulate ...
