AbstractSolar power will become the largest renewable energy source, contributing to global carbon neutrality. In addition to the well‐recognized temporal intermittency of solar energy supply, the local energy demand to cope with extreme weathers can further stress the energy grid; both the supply and demand can be greatly influenced by future climate change. Here, we redefine solar drought events by considering supply demand imbalance in solar power. Observation and multi‐model simulations reveal an anthropogenic exacerbation of global solar drought frequency in the past three decades. Moreover, compared to the pathway SSP2‐4.5, the carbon neutrality pathway SSP1‐2.6 can mitigate the increasing frequency and severity of solar droughts by 60% and 63% in the 2090s, respectively. Our study suggests a co‐benefit of solar energy stability and security toward carbon neutrality, especially in developing nations where the local supply demand imbalance is a major issue.
Variation of Modified Combustion Efficiency and Its Impact on Biomass Burning Emission Estimation in Africa

AbstractBiomass burning (BB) is one of the largest sources of trace gases and primary carbonaceous particles in the global troposphere, posing great impacts on air quality and regional climate. Accurate quantification of BB emissions is vital for assessing its environmental and climate impacts. However, there are still large uncertainties in current BB emission inventories due to poorly characterized emission rates under different combustion states. The fixed emission factor (EF) instead of varying EF associated with different combustion efficiencies may be the reason for the bias. Here, based on satellite‐retrieved carbon dioxide (CO2) and carbon monoxide (CO), the modified combustion efficiency (MCE) is derived for fire‐prone regions in Africa. The monthly and inter‐annual variability of MCE shows a good correlation with meteorological variables such as relative humidity. Therefore, variable EF was established based on its statistical relationship with MCE for different fire‐emitted species. Application of such MCE‐dependent EF in the global climate‐chemistry model can greatly improve the performance of wildfire smoke pollution during the fire season, indicated by an increase of 31% in aerosol optical depth (AOD) and a 50% reduction in normalized mean bias compared with AOD observations. The study elucidates the critical role of meteorology in BB emission estimates and highlights the importance of implementing a dynamic fire emission inventory in response to meteorological conditions.
Influence of Klein edges on Phononic and electronic transport in circular graphene devices
Authors: Bazrafshan M. Amir , Khoeini Farhad , Szafran Bartłomiej 
Published: November 2024

AbstractWe study the electron and phonon transport coefficients of graphene disks and rings in the presence of Klein edges. We examine the transport characteristics by changing of the outer and inner radius using the non-equilibrium Green’s function approach. We find that the effect of the nanodisk radius is highly influenced by the Klein edges, such that at small radii, armchair Klein edges can help preserve the electronic transport coefficient from suppression, while zigzag Klein edges significantly suppress the transmission spectrum, highlighting the importance of the edge atom sublattice. The behavior is also observed in cases where only one side of the circular disk is preserved, showing that it is not rooted in the symmetric geometry of the circle. The value of the outer radius has a more regular influence on the electronic conductance than the value of the inner one. However, in the examined sizes, the phononic spectrum does not exhibit a clear dependence on the edges. Our results contribute to the understanding of the behavior of Klein edges, which is crucial for the design of high-performance nanoscale electronic devices, the creation of stable qubits for advances in quantum computing.
To crop or not to crop: Comparing whole‐image and cropped classification on a large dataset of camera trap images

Published: November 2024

AbstractCamera traps facilitate non‐invasive wildlife monitoring, but their widespread adoption has created a data processing bottleneck: a camera trap survey can create millions of images, and the labour required to review those images strains the resources of conservation organisations. AI is a promising approach for accelerating image review, but AI tools for camera trap data are imperfect; in particular, classifying small animals remains difficult, and accuracy falls off outside the ecosystems in which a model was trained. It has been proposed that incorporating an object detector into an image analysis pipeline may help address these challenges, but the benefit of object detection has not been systematically evaluated in the literature. In this work, the authors assess the hypothesis that classifying animals cropped from camera trap images using a species‐agnostic detector yields better accuracy than classifying whole images. We find that incorporating an object detection stage into an image classification pipeline yields a macro‐average F1 improvement of around 25% on a large, long‐tailed dataset; this improvement is reproducible on a large public dataset and a smaller public benchmark dataset. The authors describe a classification architecture that performs well for both whole and detector‐cropped images, and demonstrate that this architecture yields state‐of‐the‐art benchmark accuracy.
Hardware architectures for computing the cosine transforms over the finite field F28$\mathbb {F}_{2^8}$
Authors: de Oliveira Neto José R. , Coutinho Vítor A. 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThis article presents hardware architectures for computing four types of the 8‐point cosine transforms over the finite field . The proposed architectures utilize three distinct approaches, described in SystemVerilog, and are synthesized on a field‐programmable gate array (FPGA) SoC platform. To implement the design, an improved version of a standard multiplier is presented by precomputing the required constants, thereby reducing hardware complexity. The system is integrated as a memory‐mapped Dual Core Cortex A9 peripheral to test the proposed architecture in the employed FPGA SoC. Among the three proposed architectures, one can choose to work up to 218.39 MHz, using 626 Logic Elements (LE) and 608 one‐bit registers; work up to 171 MHz, using 313 LE and 128 one‐bit registers; or work up to 197.36 MHz, at the cost of 350 LE and 293 one‐bit registers.

Published: November 2024

AbstractThe building energy management system (BEMS) components, that is, the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, refrigerators, and lighting significantly impact energy consumption. This paper presents the modelling, including HVAC and refrigerator with interior heat and external illuminus of lighting for residential buildings. The energy consumption of these components has been examined using eight meta‐heuristic algorithms with weather conditions of five cities in India. The statistical and box‐plot analysis results recommended the original artificial ecosystem algorithm compared to others for energy management. The results of the proposed smart residential building have been compared with the published model results of a residential building with and without BEMS and an economic analysis has also been carried out. The simulation results show that the maximum load has been shifted to off‐peak durations. The energy savings in the proposed BEMS compared to existing BEMS and without BEMS are 34% and 57%, respectively.

Published: November 2024

ABSTRACTMerkel cell carcinomas are rare cutaneous malignancies with neuroendocrine features that affect elderly individuals with a history of chronic sun exposure and immunosuppression. More recently, a human viral pathogen, the Merkel cell polyomavirus, has been implicated in the carcinogenesis of this disease. Its particularly aggressive biological behavior, the delay in diagnosis related to the lack of awareness, as well as the paucity of effective therapeutic modalities have historically contributed to the high lethality and dismal prognosis. Although surgery and radiation therapy remain the therapeutic pillars for patients with localized disease, the recognition of its immunogenic potential, with the consequent development and successful implementation of immune checkpoint blockade for those with advanced disease has significantly changed the treatment landscape for these patients. In this review, etiopathogenic, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects related to Merkel cell carcinomas are thoroughly addressed.
Introduction
Authors: Laser Julie Anne , Nicotera Nicole 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Chapter 1 defines Experiential Therapy and how it differs from traditional talk therapy. It also discusses the philosophy of “Challenge by Choice” which guides Experiential Therapy. Through the Challenge by Choice philosophy, the client is always empowered to make a choice about whether they participate, their duration of participation, and the quality of their participation. The clinician always follows the lead of the client. Chapter 1 discusses how Challenge by Choice fits well with a trauma-sensitive approach. Clinical segues are introduced as a clinical intervention that connects the Experiential Therapy activity to the clients’ real life. Clinical segues transfer the learning from what just happened in the Experiential Therapy activity to what can be taken with the client today, tomorrow, and always. The relationship between mindfulness and Experiential Therapy is initially discussed. Additionally, two Experiential Therapy activities are shared.
Integrating Mindfulness With Experiential Therapy
Authors: Laser Julie Anne , Nicotera Nicole 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This chapter shares how mindfulness honors the traditions, cultures, and systems of medicine from which it arises. Research evidence is presented of how mindfulness practices support healing and recovery for clients. The benefits of integrating mindfulness practices into Experiential Therapy are explored. Mindfulness approaches take the stance that “problems are viewed as opportunities for growth” and encourage clients to understand problems as part of life, that life will always bring challenges, and the goal is to learn how to navigate them (Lee et al., 2009, p. 312). This stance pairs well with Experiential Therapy, which has the goal of learning through experience and applying that learning to the next challenges one will face. Particular importance is placed on how mindfulness practices and Experiential Therapy are a good fit for working with survivors of trauma.
Fine-Tuning for the Clinician
Authors: Laser Julie Anne , Nicotera Nicole 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
In Chapter 5, “Fine-Tuning for the Clinician: Capacities for Well-Being and Working Across Identities,” the authors discuss the process of fine-tuning oneself to practice habits of wellness and to work across the multiple identities that clients possess. There are two aspects of being a mental health clinician that are always present and always challenging. One of these is therapist well-being and active strategies for self-care. The other aspect is the clinician’s fine-tuning to build the capacity for working across client identities, especially clients with minoritized identities. This chapter addresses both of these aspects with a view to the necessity of lifelong learning and growth in both areas.
Experiential Therapy Activities With Specific Populations
Authors: Laser Julie Anne , Nicotera Nicole 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Chapter 10 discusses Experiential Therapy activities with specific populations: children, youth, couples, and families. The authors discuss particular considerations and specific strategies for working with children, youth, couples, and families when doing Experiential Therapy. They share three examples of scaled Experiential Therapy activities for children. The authors point out that Experiential Therapy a great assessment tool with children because they show up as themselves and not as try to present as a version of themselves. They also provide three examples of scaled Experiential Therapy activities for youth. The authors describe three examples of scaled Experiential Therapy activities for couples, and they discuss doing Experiential Therapy in nature with couples. They also point out that experiential therapy is useful for illuminating three components that are integral for healthy couples: passion, intimacy, and commitment. The chapter concludes with three examples of scaled Experiential Therapy activities for families, as well.
Evaluating Experiential Therapy in Your Practice and Conclusions
Authors: Laser Julie Anne , Nicotera Nicole 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Chapter 12 concludes with how to evaluate Experiential Therapy’s effectiveness in the reader’s organization or practice. The authors share the survey instruments they have created, which have been vetted by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) at their university, so that the reader can know not just anecdotally, but scientifically, that Experiential Therapy works in their practice. They have separated the survey instruments into three different categories: (1) ongoing Experiential Therapy, (2) an eight-hour Challenge Course day with an Experiential Therapist, and (3) Logos Experiential Therapy trips with human trafficking survivors (discussed in Chapter 11). Each type of Experiential Therapy activity necessitated a different research survey instrument. Additionally, in the conclusion the authors discuss their enjoyment of the modality of Experiential Therapy and their willingness to communicate and share this knowledge with others.
Introduction
Authors: Glauthier Patrick 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
The sublime is an experience of transcendence, often described as wonder, awe, stupefaction, ecstasy, or even terror. The scientific sublime is the experience of sublimity through or in connection with the investigation of the natural world. Most studies of the sublime in Greek and/or Latin literature read individual passages through the lens of one or more theorists of the sublime, especially Longinus, Burke, and Kant. For scholars of Latin literature, Lucretius now functions as a de facto theorist, and De rerum natura has become an important touchstone for the field. This book, however, decenters all such theorists. While De rerum natura is an essential model and intertext for Manilius, Seneca, Lucan, and the Aetna poet, this study demonstrates that the histories of the sublime and the investigation of nature at Rome include dimensions and narratives that are unrelated to or not primarily dependent on Lucretius’s poem.
Aetna and the Wonders of the Earth
Authors: Glauthier Patrick 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
The Aetna poet urges readers to study the earth, rather than the heavens or atmosphere, and to celebrate its wonders. Aetna’s volcanism provides scope for both pursuits, which powerfully induce the experience of sublimity: to read the poem is to undertake a harrowing journey through a volatile landscape, to be dazzled by stupendously engineered machines at an imperial spectacle, to catch sight of a mysterious goddess, nature the demiurge. Ultimately, the poet subordinates the study of nature’s causes to the awed contemplation of her marvels, exemplified by the story of the pious brothers of Catania. After the depravations of Nero’s regime, the imperviousness of some natural phenomena to causal analysis thrills and ennobles. This is the perspective of paradoxography, and the enthusiastic combination of philosophical theory with paradoxographical wonder constitutes the poem’s volcanic aesthetics. Significantly, the commitment to paradoxography fits the times, connecting the Aetna poet with Longinus and the Elder Pliny.
Skepticism and Fallibilism
Authors: Kvanvig Jonathan L 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
There are two common responses to skepticism, the epistemological claim that knowledge is at least non-existent and perhaps also unachievable, and both are to be avoided. So I argue here. The first response is to succumb to it, trying then to find some adequate basis for life that foregoes presumptions of knowledge. The second response is dismissive, viewing it as an overwrought, hyperbolic response to human limitations, so wrongheaded that nothing beyond a laconic response is needed before returning to important philosophical tasks. Avoiding these responses requires theory development on the part of skepticism and a way of characterizing sensitive fallibilism in contrast to complacent versions of it. These two tasks take up the majority of the chapters, several of which show how theory development on behalf of the skeptic needs to proceed. The hardest part of this project is to characterize the skeptical ideal for matters that we investigate through the use of defeasible reasoning, where the idea of finding an infallibilist standard looks impossible. In spite of this appearance, it is possible to characterize this ideal in terms of reasoning that puts one in full control over the possibility of error. The other task involves characterizing fallibilism in terms of this notion of full control over the possibilities of error, and then developing a version of this view that doesn’t require such full control while at the same time acknowledging, predicting, and explaining how and why such full control appears whenever the language of knowledge is used. The result is an approximationist version of fallibilism that acknowledges that our knowledge is never ideal but is nonetheless close enough to the ideal to be present.
Skepticism and the Commonsense Tradition
Authors: Kvanvig Jonathan L 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Sober judgment affirms that the capacity for error is inescapable. Skepticism arises from this recognition, with the skeptic pressing the point that this capacity for error is our epistemic undoing. Given the assumption that knowledge is the epistemic summum bonum or necessary for it, the idea is that knowledge itself is somehow undermined by this feature of our cognitive condition. At the same time as we all stand convinced of our capacity for error, we also recognize the point of the assumption that knowledge matters. This chapter traces resistance to skepticism arising in the commonsense tradition that traces to Thomas Reid but also in the pragmatist tradition tracing to C.S. Peirce.
Infallibilism and Idealizations about Knowledge
Authors: Kvanvig Jonathan L 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
If skepticism can undergo appropriate theoretical development, fallibilists will need to find and develop a sensitive version of view, one that takes seriously the need to explain and predict how and why concessive attitudes and attributions about knowledge are both correct and infelicitous. One central problem for sensitive fallibilism concerns the notion of fallibility itself, and we the last chapter found that it is difficult to find a theory-neutral account of this notion. The goal of this chapter is to elucidate the high standards the skeptic maintains must be met in order for knowledge to be possible, and success in this project will allow an understanding of fallibilism in terms of the negation of this high standard. The goal of clarifying these standards is more difficult to achieve than is usually recognized, and this chapter shows why it is so difficult and how the difficulties can be met.
Conclusion
Authors: Kvanvig Jonathan L 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Given the path through theory development on behalf of skepticism and the fallibilist response in the form of Approximationism, we have an account of the significance of skepticism that does not rely on the truth of the view. In addition, the significance of skepticism that is found in this process is not something that needs to prompt passional negativity of any sort. Instead, the significance of skepticism arises in the role it plays in sustaining a life of virtue. This concluding chapter focuses on this more general point, one that we have reached through the conclusions of previous chapters, though it never took center stage in any of them. So here we focus directly on it.
Folding and Unfolding Story to Meet the Space
Authors: Damkjær Maria 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Short fiction in magazines sometimes had to be stretched or squeezed to fit the available space. This chapter looks at short fiction that displays its own responses to the urgent need to fill up space; either by directly addressing space restrictions or by having traces of typographical manipulation. An author like Camilla Crosland wrote ‘vignette fiction’—stories told in a series of scenes—as a solution to the spatial restraint in the magazine the Home Circle. The chapter also discusses authors like Austen, Trollope, and Gissing, who addressed the space they wrote for. Folding story out, or folding it in, are metaphors through which to see the possibilities of narrative fiction to fit itself to its format. Stories are truncated, squeezed, or stretched, and the result is a sense that space was both a generating spur for new content and a continuous negotiation for both writers, editors, and typesetters.
Samuel Beeton’s Love of Hidden Advertising
Authors: Damkjær Maria 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
When advertising disguises itself as another genre—a recipe, a footnote, or a short story—it raises questions about the relationship between a cheeky editor and an indulgent reader who gets the joke. The publications of Samuel Beeton’s publishing house—the Book of Household Management, for example—are often plugged in his various magazines like the Englishwoman’s Domestic Magazine, sometimes with little stories about a character encountering the publication or an advert for it. Genre masquerades, where imaginary readers read and use the printed product, are ways for the editor to project an ideal reception for his own publications. In the process, the agency of the reader–consumer is sublimated into actions that begin to look more like those of a maker–editor. In the print imaginary that Beeton constructs, female consumers are already engaged in miscellany practices before the miscellany appears: they are model editors as well as model readers.
