(2020) Economic growth is incompatible with biodiversity conservation #environment

Economic growth is incompatible with biodiversity conservation
The increase in resource consumption and polluting emissions as a result of economic growth is not compatible with biodiversity conservation. However, most international policies on biodiversity and sustainability advocate economic growth. These are the main conclusions of the study "Biodiversity policy beyond economic growth," published this week in the scientific journal Conservation Letters. This contradiction became clear after a review of international scientific and policy work on the sub…

For my next modern culture and media studies work, I'd like to use "THE SIMPLE NEW SOCIO-ECONOMICGEOPOLITICALBIO-HISTORICAL APPROACH" (TSR 1987)

Diagonalizing large-scale quantum many-body Hamiltonians using variational quantum circuit and tensor network
Exact diagonalization (ED) is an essential tool for exploring quantum many-body physics but is fundamentally limited by the exponentially-scaled computational complexity. Here, we propose tensor network variational diagonalization (TNVD), which encodes the full eigenenergy spectrum of a quantum many-body Hamiltonian into a matrix product state, and encodes the eigenstates as the evolutions of product states using variational quantum circuit (VQC). Thereby, TNVD reduces the computational complex…

$D$ and $D^*$ mesons in isospin asymmetric nuclear medium
We investigate the properties of pseudoscalar $D$ and vector $D^*$ mesons in an isospin asymmetric nuclear medium using a hybrid approach that integrates the light-front quark model with the chiral SU(3) quark mean field model. The influence of isospin asymmetric nuclear medium is examined by utilizing the in-medium quark masses derived from the chiral SU(3) quark mean field model as an input in the light-front quark model to study the medium modification of $D$ mesons. We examine the impact of…

AI Should Sense Better, Not Just Scale Bigger: Adaptive Sensing as a Paradigm Shift
Current AI advances largely rely on scaling neural models and expanding training datasets to achieve generalization and robustness. Despite notable successes, this paradigm incurs significant environmental, economic, and ethical costs, limiting sustainability and equitable access. Inspired by biological sensory systems, where adaptation occurs dynamically at the input (e.g., adjusting pupil size, refocusing vision)--we advocate for adaptive sensing as a necessary and foundational shift. Adaptiv…

Evolution of magnetized hub-filament systems: Comparing the observed properties of W3(OH), W3 Main, and S 106
In this study, we examine three cluster-forming hub-filament systems (HFS) - W3(OH), W3 Main, and S 106 - spanning evolutionary stages from early to advanced, with a focus on their magnetic field (B-field) structures and filament line-mass distributions. Our goal is to identify indicators of HFS evolution, particularly within their hubs, as star formation progresses. Our analysis combines observations of dense star-forming gas and young stellar populations. We present new JCMT/POL-2 observation…

Cosmic-ray tomography of shipping containers: A combination of complementary secondary particle and muon information using simulations
Cosmic-ray tomography usually relies on measuring the scattering or transmission of muons produced within cosmic-ray air showers to reconstruct an examined volume of interest (VOI). During the traversing of a VOI, all air shower particles, including muons, interact with the matter within the VOI producing so-called secondary particles. The characteristics of the production of these particles contain additional information about the properties of the examined objects and their materials. However…

Full-Dimensional Beamforming for Multi-User MIMO-OFDM ISAC for Low-Altitude UAV with Zero Sensing Resource Allocation
Low-altitude unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are expected to play an important role for low-altitude economy with a wide range of applications like precise agriculture, aerial delivery and surveillance. Integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) is a key technology to enable the large-scale deployment and routine usage of UAVs by providing both communication and sensing services efficiently. For UAV ISAC systems, as UAV often acts as both a communication user equipment (UE) and a sensing targe…

Hyperbolic recurrent neural network as the first type of non-Euclidean neural quantum state ansatz
In this work, we introduce the first type of non-Euclidean neural quantum state (NQS) ansatz, in the form of the hyperbolic GRU (a variant of recurrent neural networks (RNNs)), to be used in the Variational Monte Carlo method of approximating the ground state wavefunction for quantum many-body systems. In particular, we examine the performances of NQS ansatzes constructed from both conventional or Euclidean RNN/GRU and from hyperbolic GRU in the prototypical settings of the one- and two-dimensi…
