Potential 2050 distributions of World Terrestrial Ecosystems from projections of changes in World Climate Regions and Global Land Cover by Roger Sayre, Charlie Frye, Sean Breyer, Patrick R. Roehrdanz, Paul R. Elsen, Kevin Butler, Clint Brown, Jill Cress, Deniz Karagulle, Madeline Martin, Florencia Sangermano, Regan L. Smyth, Terry L. Sohl, Nicholas H. Wolff, Dawn J. Wright, Zhouting Wu

“…Extending that work herein, we modeled the potential 2050 WTE distributions based on projections of five CMIP6 general circulation models (GCMs) and one global land cover change model, determined for three shared socioeconomic pathway (SSP) scenarios. The climate region modeling included projections for 2050 for both mean annual temperature and mean annual aridity. …”

A Fluid Model for Mobile Data Offloading Based on Device-to-Device Communications with Time Constraints by Antonio Pinizzotto, Raffaele Bruno

“…Proximity-based content sharing between nearby devices in cellular networks using device-to-device (D2D) communications—without routing through the base station—has emerged as a promising solution for offloading traffic from the core cellular network and reducing network congestion, especially when the users requesting content can tolerate some delay before receiving it. …”

Effect of Process Pressure on the Properties of Cu₂O Thin Films Deposited by RF Magnetron Sputtering by Junghwan Park, Chang-Sik Son, Young-Guk Son, Donghyun Hwang

“…X-ray diffraction (XRD) revealed that the films crystallized in the cubic Cu₂O phase, with the highest crystallinity observed at 5 mTorr, as evidenced by the sharp and intense (111) peak. Raman spectroscopy confirmed the predominance of Cu₂O vibrational modes across all samples, with improved phase purity and crystallinity at 5 mTorr and 10 mTorr. …”

Looking for the origins of the human brain: The role of South Africa in the history of palaeoneurology by Amélie Beaudet, Edwin de Jager, Mirriam Tawane, Brendon Billings

“…Additionally, we examine how the use of digital replicas of fossil hominin endocasts and the need to study extant human brains to form a comparative platform might raise questions about research practices (e.g. study and exhibition of fossil and extant human brains) and management of such invaluable heritage resources (e.g. data sharing). We finally consider how our view of human brain evolution, and in particular the putative uniqueness of the hominin brain, has changed over the last century. …”
