Another threat to reefs: Microplastic chemicals may harm coral reproduction
As the sliver of a new moon shines over Kāneʻohe Bay, Oʻahu, millions of tiny orbs ascend from a reef and swirl in the water column. These spheres are bundles of coral eggs and sperm responding to lunar cycles and chemical cues in the water that tell them when to fertilize and where to settle […]

Multi-Level Hybrid Monte Carlo / Deterministic Methods for Particle Transport Problems
This paper presents multi-level hybrid transport (MLHT) methods for solving the neutral particle Boltzmann transport equation. The proposed MLHT methods are formulated on a sequence of spatial grids using a multi-level Monte Carlo (MLMC) approach. The general MLMC algorithm is defined by the recursive estimation of the expected value of a solution functional's correction with respect to a neighboring grid. MLMC theory optimizes the total computational cost for estimating a functional to within …

Investigating Large Language Models' Linguistic Abilities for Text Preprocessing
Text preprocessing is a fundamental component of Natural Language Processing, involving techniques such as stopword removal, stemming, and lemmatization to prepare text as input for further processing and analysis. Despite the context-dependent nature of the above techniques, traditional methods usually ignore contextual information. In this paper, we investigate the idea of using Large Language Models (LLMs) to perform various preprocessing tasks, due to their ability to take context into acco…

I still have my pet theory that Shelley Carroll is prepping a run for mayor.
Her last newsletter is a good example of it. Keeps trying to distance herself from the mayor. Taking stands for "fiscal responsability". Defending 3 millions-home owners. etc etc
