"‘Hot droughts’ could push the Amazon into a hypertropical climate by 2100 - and trees won’t survive"
#Amazon #Climate #ClimateChange

Hypertropical climate in the Amazon could trigger mass tree die-offs
A hypertropical climate has not occurred on Earth in at least 10 million years.

A new 'hypertropical' climate is emerging in the Amazon, exposing trees to deadly stress
The Amazon rainforest is slowly transitioning to a new, hotter climate with more frequent and intense droughts—conditions that haven't been seen on Earth for tens of millions of years.

Scaling Hybrid Quantum-HPC Applications with the Quantum Framework
Hybrid quantum-high performance computing (Q-HPC) workflows are emerging as a key strategy for running quantum applications at scale in current noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices. These workflows must operate seamlessly across diverse simulators and hardware backends since no single simulator offers the best performance for every circuit type. Simulation efficiency depends strongly on circuit structure, entanglement, and depth, making a flexible and backend-agnostic execution model…

Energy-Constrained Navigation for Planetary Rovers under Hybrid RTG-Solar Power
Future planetary exploration rovers must operate for extended durations on hybrid power inputs that combine steady radioisotope thermoelectric generator (RTG) output with variable solar photovoltaic (PV) availability. While energy-aware planning has been studied for aerial and underwater robots under battery limits, few works for ground rovers explicitly model power flow or enforce instantaneous power constraints. Classical terrain-aware planners emphasize slope or traversability, and trajector…

The current AI strategies of China and the US are complementary, as unlike the US, China isn't "AGI-pilled" yet, focusing on embodied AI and open source models (Dean W. Ball/Hyperdimensional)

PRISM: Product Retrieval In Shopping Carts using Hybrid Matching
Compared to traditional image retrieval tasks, product retrieval in retail settings is even more challenging. Products of the same type from different brands may have highly similar visual appearances, and the query image may be taken from an angle that differs significantly from view angles of the stored catalog images. Foundational models, such as CLIP and SigLIP, often struggle to distinguish these subtle but important local differences. Pixel-wise matching methods, on the other hand, are co…

Hybrid Table-Assisted and RL-Based Dynamic Routing for NGSO Satellite Networks
This letter investigates dynamic routing in Next-Generation Satellite Orbit (NGSO) constellations and proposes a hybrid strategy that combines precomputed routing tables with a Deep Q-Learning (DQL) fallback mechanism. While fully RL-based schemes offer adaptability to topology dynamics, they often suffer from high complexity, long convergence times, and unstable performance under heavy traffic. In contrast, the proposed framework exploits deterministic table lookups under nominal conditions an…
