Global urban activity changes from COVID-19 physical distancing restrictions by Srija Chakraborty, Eleanor C. Stokes, Olivia Alexander

“…The pandemic has been described as a natural experiment that tested how social and economic disruptions impacted different components of the global Earth System. To move this beyond hypotheses, locally-resolved, globally-available measures of how, where, and when human activity changed are critically needed. …”

Geophysical stratified turbulence and mixing in the laboratory by Lefauve, Adrien

“…The resulting mixing controls the vertical transport of heat and tracers that are key to large-scale layering and circulation patterns, including those crucial to Earth’s climate. However, the physics of sheared stratified turbulence remain poorly understood due to their extraordinary range of scales and spatio-temporal intermittency. …”

PVC-Membrane Potentiometric Electrochemical Sensor Based on 2-(4-Oxopentan-2-ylideneamino)isoindoline-1,3-dione for Selective Determination of Holmium(III) by Hassan Ali Zamani

“…This electrode presented very good selectivity and sensitivity towards the Ho3+ ions over a wide variety of cations, including alkali, alkaline earth, transition and heavy metal ions. The practical utility of the electrode has been demonstrated by its use as an indicator electrode for the potentiometric titration of a Ho3+ solution with EDTA and for the determination of Ho3+ ions concentration in mixtures of two and three different ions.…”

Jesus uttering his last words and drawing on his final breath: reflecting on Luke 23:46 by P. Nagel

“…It deliberately accentuates the mundane, “human” character of Jesus’ “last” moments on this earth. The purpose of this reflection is to come to a deeper appreciation of his death, with the hope that it might mean something to someone struggling to breathe while dying. …”

Use and Diversity of Palm (Arecaceae) Resources in Central Western Brazil by Renata Corrêa Martins, Tarciso de Sousa Filgueiras, Ulysses Paulino Albuquerque

“….), a member of the monocotyledon group, is considered one of the oldest extant angiosperm families on Earth. This family is highly valuable because of its species diversity, its occurrence in a wide range of habitats, and its status as an integral part of the culture and the family-based economy of many traditional and nontraditional communities. …”

Bandlimited Frequency-Constrained Iterative Methods by Harrison Garrett, David G. Long

“…In the field of remote sensing, several spaceborne radiometers and scatterometers, which have irregular sampling and variable apertures, use iterative techniques to reconstruct measurements of the Earth’s surface. However, many of these iterative techniques tend to over-amplify noise features outside the reconstructable bandwidth. …”

Geomorphological Observations and Physical Hypotheses About Martian Dune Gullies by Adriano Nardi, Antonio Piersanti

“…Thus, dune gullies could originate from meteorological liquids, but through a process unlike those known on Earth. Evidence from the Kaiser, Russell, and Korolev Craters supports the possibility of a partial water cycle (a half-cycle), potentially the remnant of a complete ancient cycle.…”

A Fully Coupled Time-Domain BEM-FEM Method for the Prediction of Symmetric Hydroelastic Responses of Ships with Forward Speed by Tushar Kanti Show, Spyros Hirdaris, Ranadev Datta

“…A transient time-domain free surface Green function is used for the idealisation of the seakeeping problem using an Earth fixed coordinate system. Free surface ship hydrodynamics are idealised in the time domain by a Green function, and forward speed effects are idealised by a space-state model. …”
