Facts look different in different contexts...
Nigeria, Libya, Caspian Sea, and other oil patches in impoverished places are effectively without the concept of environmental regulation. They flare whatever wherever they want. In Nigeria the rampant theft of unrefined oil and "fire pit refining" is beyond anything done by regulated refiners in TX.
Not that we want to emulate Nigeria or Azerbaijan or Libya...

Proportional Sensitivity in Generative Adversarial Network (GAN)-Augmented Brain Tumor Classification Using Convolutional Neural Network
Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) have shown potential in expanding limited medical imaging datasets. This study explores how different ratios of GAN-generated and real brain tumor MRI images impact the performance of a CNN in classifying healthy vs. tumorous scans. A DCGAN was used to create synthetic images which were mixed with real ones at various ratios to train a custom CNN. The CNN was then evaluated on a separate real-world test set. Our results indicate that the model maintains hig…

Credit risk for large portfolios of green and brown loans: extending the ASRF model
We propose a credit risk model for portfolios composed of green and brown loans, extending the ASRF framework via a two-factor copula structure. Systematic risk is modeled using potentially skewed distributions, allowing for asymmetric creditworthiness effects, while idiosyncratic risk remains Gaussian. Under a non-uniform exposure setting, we establish convergence in quadratic mean of the portfolio loss to a limit reflecting the distinct characteristics of the two loan segments. Numerical resu…

A Linear Generative Framework for Structure-Function Coupling in the Human Brain
Brain function emerges from coordinated activity across anatomically connected regions, where structural connectivity (SC) -- the network of white matter pathways - provides the physical substrate for functional connectivity (FC) -- the correlated neural activity between brain areas. While these structural and functional networks exhibit substantial overlap, their relationship involves complex, indirect mechanisms, including the dynamic interplay of direct and indirect pathways, recurrent netwo…

Es ist still geworden um das Geschehen in der Manege. Geschuldet ist dies vermutlich aufgrund der Übermüdung aller Akrobat:innen. Viele haben ihr Repertoire an Kunststücken auch schon ausgeschöpft und die Manege verlassen. Die Älteren sind wie gewohnt widerstandsfähiger und schöpfen aus ihrer Erfahrung. Hier wird es wohl noch etwas dauern. #dem25 ^mr

Cooperative Jahn-Teller dynamics of boron clusters in the infrared conductivity of heavy fermion metal CeB6 and unconventional superconductor ZrB12
A thorough study of the wide-range (40-35000 cm-1) dynamic conductivity and permittivity spectra of the archetypal heavy fermion metal CeB6 and unconventional superconductor ZrB12 was carried out at room temperature. Both the Drude-type components and overdamped excitations were separated and analyzed. An additional absorption band observed above 200 cm-1 was attributed to the cooperative Jahn-Teller dynamics of the boron complexes in CeB6 and ZrB12. It was shown that nonequilibrium electrons p…

Agri-PV: Wo bleibt die Extra-Vergütung?
"Das haben wir uns anders vorgestellt": Eine fertige Agri-PV-Anlage, die keinen Strom produziert – kein Einzelfall. Der Grund: Das Okay der EU für das Solarpaket 1 fehlt immer noch und damit die geplante Extra-Vergütung für den Sonnenstrom vom Feld.

Production, Quality Assurance and Quality Control of the SiPM Tiles for the DarkSide-20k Time Projection Chamber
The DarkSide-20k dark matter direct detection experiment will employ a 21 m^2 silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) array, instrumenting a dual-phase 50 tonnes liquid argon Time Projection Chamber (TPC). SiPMs are arranged into modular photosensors called Tiles, each integrating 24 SiPMs onto a printed circuit board (PCB) that provides signal amplification, power distribution, and a single-ended output for simplified readout. 16 Tiles are further grouped into Photo-Detector Units (PDUs).
