Aber selbst wenn man 1992 oder 2015 (Pariser Abkommen) als Startpunkt nimmt, ist unsere Restbudget seit Anfang diesen Jahres aufgebraucht.

Shannon's inequality on non-collapsing RCD spaces
We prove the Shannon's inequality on non-collapsing $\mathsf{RCD}(0,N)$ spaces. In the proof, we use the characterization of the $\mathsf{EVI}_{0,N}$-gradient flow of the relative entropy and the infinitesimal behavior of the heat kernel. Also we have a cone rigidity result. As an application, we have the so-called uncertainty principle inequality on such spaces.

HIP 65426 is a High-Frequency Delta Scuti Pulsator in Plausible Spin-Orbit Alignment with its Directly Imaged Exoplanet
HIP 65426 hosts a young giant planet that has become the first exoplanet directly imaged with JWST. Using time-series photometry from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), we classify HIP 65426 as a high-frequency $δ$ Scuti pulsator with a possible large frequency separation of $Δν=$7.23$\pm$0.02 cycles day$^{-1}$. We check the TESS data for pulsation timing variations and use the nondetection to estimate a 95% dynamical mass upper limit of 12.8 Mjup for HIP 65426 b. We also iden…

A Neural Network-Based Submesoscale Vertical Heat Flux Parameterization and Its Implementation in Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS)
Submesoscale processes, with spatio-temporal scales of O(0.01-10) km and hours to 1 day which are hardly resolved by current ocean models, are important sub-grid processes in ocean models. Due to the strong vertical currents, submesoscale processes can lead to submesoscale vertical heat flux (SVHF) in the upper ocean which plays a crucial role in the heat exchange between the atmosphere and the ocean interior, and further modulates the global heat redistribution. At present, simulating a submes…

Direction of spontaneous processes in non-equilibrium systems with movable/permeable internal walls
The second law of equilibrium thermodynamics explains the direction of spontaneous processes in a system after removing internal constraints. When the system only exchanges energy with the environment as heat, the second law states that spontaneous processes at constant temperature satisfy: $\textrm{d} U - δQ \leq 0$. Here, $\textrm{d} U$ is the infinitesimal change of the internal energy, and $δQ$ is the infinitesimal heat exchanged in the process. We will consider ideal gas, van der Waals g…
