Rethinking methane from animal agriculture by Shule Liu, Joe Proudman, Frank M. Mitloehner

“…Results Using GWP*, the projected climate impacts show that CH4 emissions from the U.S. cattle industry have not contributed additional warming since 1986. Calculations show that the California dairy industry will approach climate neutrality in the next ten years if CH4 emissions can be reduced by 1% per year, with the possibility to induce cooling if there are further reductions of emissions. …”

Role of Barystatic Sea Level Change in Global Mass Conservation and Its Excitation to Length‐Of‐Day Variations by Qiqi Shi, Yonghong Zhou, Cancan Xu, Xueqing Xu

“…Note that correcting the problem of global mass non‐conservation is necessary for GRACE/GFO mass estimates in both spherical harmonic and mascon solutions to calculate the LOD excitation accurately. LOD mass term contributions derived from GRACE/GFO mass estimates considering global mass conservation show high consistency with satellite laser ranging results and are much closer to geodetic LOD observations than EAM products at seasonal and non‐seasonal time scales. …”

Quantifying Podocyte Number in a Small Sample Size of Glomeruli with CUBIC to Evaluate Podocyte Depletion of db/db Mice by Jiaoyu Shi, Yuan Hu, Guangze Shao, Yixiang Zhu, Zhonghua Zhao, Yanyong Xu, Zhigang Zhang, Huijuan Wu

“…Sample size estimation using the PASS software revealed that taking 5%, 7.5%, and 10% of the mean podocyte number per glomerulus as the statistical allowable error and 95% as total confidence interval, 33, 15, and 9 glomeruli were independently needed to be sampled in C57 mice to represent the overall glomeruli to calculate podocyte number. Furthermore, in the control group of db/db mice, 36, 18, and 11 glomeruli were needed, compared with 46, 24, and 14 glomeruli in db/db mice by the age of 8 w, 43, 21, and 12 glomeruli by the age of 12 w, and 52, 27, and 16 by the age of 16 w. …”

ASTEC–MAAP Comparison of a 2 Inch Cold Leg LOCA until RPV Failure by J. C. de la Rosa Blul, S. Brumm, F. Mascari, S. J. Lee, L. Carenini

“…The two codes predict similar primary system depressurization behaviour until the accumulation injection, confirming similar break flow and primary system thermal-hydraulic response calculations between the two codes. The choice of the accumulator gas expansion model, either isentropic or isothermal, affects the rate and total amount of coolant injected and thereby determines whether the core is quenched or overheated and attains a noncoolable geometry during reflooding. …”
