Environmental influences on chorusing patterns in an Australian tropical savanna frog community by Sheryn Brodie, Slade Allen‐Ankins, Lin Schwarzkopf

“…The prolonged breeding species showed idiosyncratic patterns of chorusing, which were generally consistent across sites. Fine‐grained nightly data on patterns of chorusing and the relationship with environmental conditions allow us to understand the detectability of the presence, or absence, of the frog species in these habitats, and provide baseline data for monitoring and management programs.…”

Figuring Out Gas and Galaxies In Enzo (FOGGIE). VIII. Complex and Stochastic Metallicity Gradients at z > 2 by Ayan Acharyya, Molly S. Peeples, Jason Tumlinson, Brian W. O’Shea, Cassandra Lochhaas, Anna C. Wright, Raymond C. Simons, Ramona Augustin, Britton D. Smith, Eugene Hyeonmin Lee

“…We use the FOGGIE simulations to study the metallicity gradients (∇ Z ) of six Milky Way–like galaxies throughout their evolution. FOGGIE galaxies generally exhibit steep negative gradients for most of their history, with only a few short-lived instances reaching positive slopes that appear to arise mainly from interactions with other galaxies. …”

Quasinormal modes and GUP-corrected Hawking radiation of BTZ black holes within modified gravity frameworks by Faizuddin Ahmed, Ahmad Al-Badawi, İzzet Sakallı, Abdelmalek Bouzenada

“…The findings indicate that increasing mass and parameter values results in a raised potential barrier, implying stronger confinement of perturbations and impacting black hole stability. Incorporating the generalized uncertainty principle, we also study its effect on the thermodynamics of rotating BTZ black holes, demonstrating how GUP modifies black hole radiation, potentially observable in QNM decay rates. …”

Single stage auction clearing model for electricity market considering congestion by R.R. Lekshmi, S. Balamurugan

“…The approach involves modelling of the market clearing mechanism as an optimization problem with the aim of maximizing the producer and consumer surplus, meeting the power equilibrium while maintaining the line power flows within the limit. A generalized mathematical model of the problem is formulated in MATLAB Live editor and deployed on an IEEE 5-bus system, while considering two different line limit conditions. …”

Underground Karst Stratification in Covered Karst Areas Under Control of River Valley Evolution: A Case Study of Baishiyao Hydropower Station by CHEN Qijun, LI Zhensong, LI Ningxin, ZHAN Jie

“…The underground karsts of the river valley in the covered karst area generally have the characteristics of vertical zoning with a strong upper part and a weak lower part.The causes of such vertical zoning are still unclear,which brings difficulties to practical engineering applications.Therefore,the multi-phase superimposed stratification model of river valley karsts is simplified to the three-phase superimposed strengthening model of underground karsts of the river valley.The simplification is conducted on the basis of finding out the characteristic karstification heads such as the maximum karstification head,the maximum strengthening head,and the latest strengthening head in the evolution process of the river valley from the canyon period to the basin period.The three-phase superimposed strengthening model is divided into the deep isolated cave layer,middle enhanced karst layer,and modern karst-influenced layer from bottom to top.Taking the Baishiyao Hydropower Station as an engineering example,this study analyzes the evolution of the river valley and the stratification of the underground karst profile.It is proposed that as the modern karst-influenced layer of the dam foundation is strongly developed,it is the key point of anti-seepage.The maximum anti-seepage depth of karsts should enter the middle enhanced karst layer to greatly lessen the anti-seepage treatment of karst leakage of the dam foundation and save engineering investment.Years of leakage observation suggest that the anti-seepage effect is good.The underground karst stratification in the covered karst area is of certain practical significance and can be used as a reference for the seepage prevention engineering of similar dam foundations.…”
