When Donald Trump Dropped the Bass: The Weaponization of Dubstep in Internet Trolling Strategies, 2011–2016
Authors: SPENCER EDWARD KATRAK 
Published: January 2025

AbstractThis article argues that in the age of social media, the affective power of music can dare listeners to become complicit with misogyny and right-wing populism. It investigates the weaponization of dubstep in internet trolling strategies by examining the genre's relationship with a type of user-generated content called ‘Major League Gaming [MLG] Montage Parodies’. Mixing musical and audiovisual analysis with digital methods, the article considers the origins of MLG Montage Parodies and then investigates the content's development from 2011 to 2016. As a memetic timbral topic, the dubstep drop was initially deployed in MLG Montage Parodies as a form of pubescent power play to troll young male gamers. But then in 2014, it was redeployed as anti-feminist ammunition amid the toxic masculinity of #GamerGate. Finally, it was weaponized by alt-right trolls during the 2015–2016 ‘Great Meme War’ that accompanied the US Presidential Race. The closing remarks reflect on the ethical, ontological, and disciplinary implications of the research and issue a call for memetic musical literacy.

Abstract
To clarify the effects of kefir in critical periods of development in adult diseases, we study the effects of kefir intake during early life on gut microbiota and prevention of colorectal carcinogenesis in adulthood. Lactating Wistar rats were divided into three groups: control (C), kefir lactation (KL), and kefir puberty (KP) groups. The C and KP groups received 1 mL of water/day; KL dams received kefir milk daily (108 CFU/mL) during lactation. After weaning (postnatal day 21), KP pups received kefir treatment until 60 days. At 67 days old, colorectal carcinogenesis was induced through intraperitoneal injection of 1, 2-dimethylhydrazine. The gut microbiota composition were analyzed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing and DESeq2 (differential abundance method), revealing significant differences in bacterial abundances between the kefir consumption periods. Maternal kefir intake strong anticancer power, suppressed tumors in adult offspring and reduced the relative risk of offspring tumor development. The gut microbiota in cecal samples of the KL group was enriched with Lactobacillus, Romboutsia, and Blautia. In contrast, control animals were enriched with Acinetobacter. The administration of kefir during critical periods of development, with emphasis on lactation, affected the gut microbial community structure to promote host benefits. Pearson analysis indicated positive correlation between tumor number with IL-1 levels. Therefore, the probiotic fermented food intake in early life may be effective as chemopreventive potential against colon tumor development, especially in lactation period.
Role of Barystatic Sea Level Change in Global Mass Conservation and Its Excitation to Length‐Of‐Day Variations
Authors: Shi Qiqi , Zhou Yonghong , Xu Cancan , Xu Xueqing 
Published: January 2025

AbstractBarystatic sea level stores excess water mass from the atmosphere and land to maintain global mass conservations within the Earth system. Besides the secular contribution to global sea‐level rise, changes in barystatic sea level also play an important role in mass‐induced length‐of‐day (LOD) variations over a few years or shorter periods. Compared to barystatic sea level changes deduced from the geophysical models, Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment and GRACE follow‐on (GRACE/GFO) measurements provide actual observed ocean mass changes. Here, we investigate short‐term both seasonal (annual and semiannual) and non‐seasonal LOD variations caused by mass redistribution using GRACE/GFO mass estimates and effective angular momentum (EAM) products, particularly quantitatively assessing the excitation from the barystatic sea level. Note that correcting the problem of global mass non‐conservation is necessary for GRACE/GFO mass estimates in both spherical harmonic and mascon solutions to calculate the LOD excitation accurately. LOD mass term contributions derived from GRACE/GFO mass estimates considering global mass conservation show high consistency with satellite laser ranging results and are much closer to geodetic LOD observations than EAM products at seasonal and non‐seasonal time scales. The barystatic sea level exhibits the most significant amplitude in mass‐induced LOD variations, compensating for most land hydrological excitation, but shows no clear correlation with the atmosphere. Due to slight fluctuations in cryospheric effects and the substantial compensatory action of the barystatic sea level, differences in the land hydrological excitation do not lead to significant deviations in the total LOD mass term between EAM products and GRACE/GFO mass estimates.

Published: January 2025

AbstractUnderstanding the structural intricacies of subsurface halokinetic formations is crucial for various geological applications, including geological capture and storage (geological carbon storage (GCS)). This study focuses on the seismic imaging of the Gassum structure in eastern Jutland, Denmark, employing high‐resolution, dual‐element acquisition, and processing techniques. The investigation aims to unravel details in the evolution of the salt dome and its implications for GCS potential. High‐resolution seismic data processing and interpretation reveals a skewed dome structure with steeper flanks on the western and northern sides, characterized by faults and stratigraphic thinning. The asymmetric growth of the dome suggests uneven salt loading during its genesis, influencing local stress fields and structural development, with evidence of syn‐tectonic subsidence that produced salt welds. This is supported by the presence of stratigraphic wedges and an increased depth of imaged horizons within steeper flanks of the dome. A mild piercement of the salt into overlying sediments, onlapping features, and the presence of normal faults that originate from the dome apex and extend radially, all indicate a reactive piercement process in the salt pillow's development stage. This produced an extensional regime in overlying strata, inducing sequence thinning and graben structures. Analysis of reservoir and seal properties unveils adequate conditions for GCS, with a continuous reservoir and thick primary and secondary seals. However, the presence of faults intersecting these formations raises concerns regarding long‐term storage stability. Further investigations into reservoir porosity, migration paths, and volumetric analysis are warranted for conclusive GCS assessments.

Published: January 2025

AbstractGlobalization has led to an increasing geographical separation of primary input, consumption and production, and consequently to a substantial transboundary transfer of air pollution and associated health burdens through international trade. Here, we develop an integrated framework to determine the consumption‐ and income‐based global atmospheric emissions, and quantify the drivers of associated health impacts from 2000 to 2015, and evaluate the impacts of international trade on PM2.5‐related deaths by hypothetical scenarios. Results show that consumption transferred more primary PM2.5 emissions (2.2 Mt, 23.5%) and caused more additional mortality (241,000 deaths) through international trade than primary input (emission: 1.1 Mt, 12.3%, mortality: 167,000 deaths) in 2015. Top three key sectors contributed to more than half of emission flow driven by consumption (commercial, construction, electrical and machinery) and primary inputs (commercial, petroleum, and mining). Health benefits of reduced emissions intensity, which avoided 1.4 million deaths, were largely offset by not only increases in consumption and primary input levels but also population vulnerability, resulting in the increase in mortality (0.8 million) from 2000 to 2015. Changes in primary input (1.2 million deaths) contributed more to the rise in health burdens than changes in consumption (1.0 million deaths). Hypothetical scenarios show that the participation of Western Europe in international trade contributed to the reduction in global health burden, while the USA gained health benefits from international trade. Accordingly, our findings provide profound suggestions for future policy decisions from different perspectives and demonstrate that optimizing global supply chain through cooperation would mitigate the PM2.5‐related health impacts.
Asynchronous Changes in Vegetation Greenness and Climate Variables Isolines During 1986–2020 Over the Tibetan Plateau

Published: January 2025

AbstractVegetation greenness on the Tibetan Plateau has benefited from climate‐driven temperature and precipitation changes over the past decades. Whether and to what extent the horizontal and vertical shifts of vegetation isolines keep pace with the temperature and precipitation isolines, as well as hidden mechanisms remain elusive. Analyzing the greenness and climate data over 1986–2020, our study reveals widespread mismatch, with 76.9% (87.1%) of horizontal greenness isolines lagged or diverged from temperature (precipitation) isolines. Similarly, 55.8% (77.9%) of vertical isolines showed lagging or diverging patterns relative to temperature (precipitation) isolines. Horizontal shifts in vegetation isolines were influenced by slope, precipitation and grazing intensity; while their vertical shifts were primarily driven by water‐related factors that mitigate warming effects. The drivers responsible for asynchronous responses provide predictive understandings of alpine vegetation dynamics under a changing climate.

Published: January 2025

AbstractBiogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) such as dimethyl sulfide (DMS), methanethiol (MeSH), isoprene, and monoterpenes partly control the Earth's radiation budget. As such, measuring coral‐reef BVOC emissions are important for understanding the impact of future climate and shading interventions that are being developed as part of the Reef Restoration and Adaptation Program to protect the Australian Great Barrier Reef (GBR). Here we report high temporal resolution BVOC concentrations and fluxes from the central GBR in the austral summer of 2021–2022, including the first flux estimates of MeSH, isoprene, and monoterpenes from reef systems, using a proton‐transfer‐reaction quadrupole mass spectrometer. Median fluxes of DMS, MeSH, isoprene, and monoterpenes across the two voyages were 4.26 ± 2.53, 0.94 ± 0.64, 0.05 ± 0.03, and 0.03 ± 0.03 μmol m−2 d−1, respectively, indicating that the central GBR is a net source of climatically relevant BVOCs in summer. Dissolved concentrations of BVOCs were positively correlated with sea surface temperature and proximity to the coast, which was most likely due to a coastward gradient for chl‐a and nutrient concentrations. Predictably, wind speed and dissolved BVOC concentrations were the main drivers of BVOC fluxes. This study adds to our understanding of ocean‐atmosphere exchange processes in coral reef systems and will help improve model predictions of the local climate of the GBR under future climate change scenarios.

Abstract
Immunity suffers a function deficit during aging, and the incidence of cancer is increased in the elderly. However, most cancer models employ young mice, which are poorly representative of adult cancer patients. We have previously reported that Triple-Therapy (TT), involving antigen-presenting-cell activation by vinorelbine and generation of TCF1+-stem-cell-like T cells (scTs) by cyclophosphamide significantly improved anti-PD-1 efficacy in anti-PD1-resistant models like Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) and Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (NHL), due to T-cell-mediated tumor killing. Here, we describe the effect of TT on TNBC growth and on tumor-microenvironment (TME) of young (6–8w, representative of human puberty) versus adult (12 m, representative of 40y-humans) mice. TT-efficacy was similar in young and adults, as CD8+ scTs were only marginally reduced in adults. However, single-cell analyses revealed major differences in the TME: adults had fewer CD4+ scTs, B-naïve and NK-cells, and more memory-B-cells. Cancer-associated-fibroblasts (CAF) with an Extracellular Matrix (ECM) deposition-signature (Matrix-CAFs) were more common in young mice, while pro-inflammatory stromal populations and myofibroblasts were more represented in adults. Matrix-CAFs in adult mice displayed decreased ECM-remodeling abilities, reduced collagen deposition, and a different pattern of interactions with the other cells of the TME. Taken together, our results suggest that age-dependent differences in the TME should be considered when designing preclinical studies.

Abstract
Borealis is a recently discovered submerged mud volcano in the Polar North Atlantic, differing from the numerous methane seepages previously identified in the region. Here we show in situ observations from a remotely operated vehicle (ROV), capturing the release of warm (11.5 °C) Neogene sediments and methane-rich fluids from a gryphon at Borealis. The surrounding seafloor within the mud volcano features extensive carbonate deposits, indicating prolonged diffuse methane migration. Sampling and imagery reveal that Borealis supports unique habitats adapted to low-oxygen conditions near methane seeps. Additionally, the irregularly shaped carbonate structures serve as a natural shelter from bottom trawling and a substratum for sessile fauna and may function as nursery grounds for threatened fish species. This discovery underscores the ecological significance of cold seep ecosystems in the Polar North Atlantic, highlighting their role in biodiversity by serving as refuges for marine species and emphasizing the need for their conservation.
Automatic speech recognition predicts contemporaneous earthquake fault displacement

Published: January 2025

Abstract
Significant progress has been made in probing the state of an earthquake fault by applying machine learning to continuous seismic waveforms. The breakthroughs were originally obtained from laboratory shear experiments and numerical simulations of fault shear, then successfully extended to slow-slipping faults. Here we apply the Wav2Vec-2.0 self-supervised framework for automatic speech recognition to continuous seismic signals emanating from a sequence of moderate magnitude earthquakes during the 2018 caldera collapse at the Kīlauea volcano on the island of Hawai’i. We pre-train the Wav2Vec-2.0 model using caldera seismic waveforms and augment the model architecture to predict contemporaneous surface displacement during the caldera collapse sequence, a proxy for fault displacement. We find the model displacement predictions to be excellent. The model is adapted for near-future prediction information and found hints of prediction capability, but the results are not robust. The results demonstrate that earthquake faults emit seismic signatures in a similar manner to laboratory and numerical simulation faults, and artificial intelligence models developed for encoding audio of speech may have important applications in studying active fault zones.
Investigating the Antiscale Magnetic Treatment Controversy: Insights from the Model Calcium Carbonate Scalant
Authors: ElMassalami M. , Teixeira M. S. , Elzubair A. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The antiscale magnetic treatment (ASMT) claims to utilize magnetic field to combat scaling. However, its underlying mechanism, effectiveness, and reliability remain controversial. To address these contentious aspects, we analyze the influence of a magnetic field on the different stages of typical scale formation, using
$${\text{CaCO}}_{3}$$
as a model scale. For simplification, we consider the working fluid, such as in domestic and industrial settings, as a homogeneous mixture of a supersaturated, multi-ionic solution and a suspension of neutral multiphase contaminants, a fraction of which is magnetic. We argue that the combined effects of pH variation and catalytic role of magnetic contaminants are crucial factors affecting the properties of the resultant scale. Based on these considerations, we clarify the controversy by showing that each side holds a valid piece of the overall picture of the ASMT process. Indeed, the two viewpoints on magnetic field’s influence on scaling can be explained along the following scenarios: (i) Within a non-contaminated, supersaturated solution, there is no significant field influence because, under typical laboratory conditions, the Lorentz force does not practically affect the scaling process. (ii) Within a high-pH, magnetically-contaminated, supersaturated solution, the field does have an influence: Here, gradient-force-driven agglomerated particulates can act as templates for heterogeneous nucleation and growth.
Strengthening biopolymer adhesives through ureolysis-induced calcium carbonate precipitation

Published: January 2025

Abstract
Common adhesives for nonstructural applications are manufactured using petrochemicals and synthetic solvents. These adhesives are associated with environmental and health concerns because of their release of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Biopolymer adhesives are an attractive alternative because of lower VOC emissions, but their strength is often insufficient. Existing mineral fillers can improve the strength of biopolymer adhesives but require the use of crosslinkers that lower process sustainability. This work introduces a novel approach to strengthen biopolymer adhesives through calcium carbonate biomineralization, which avoids the need for crosslinkers. Biomineral fillers produced by either microbially or enzymatically induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP and EICP, respectively) were precipitated within guar gum and soy protein biopolymers. Both, MICP and EICP, increased the strength of the biopolymer adhesives. The strength was further improved by optimizing the concentrations of bacteria, urease enzyme, and calcium. The highest strengths achieved were on par with current commercially available nonstructural adhesives. This study demonstrates the feasibility of using calcium carbonate biomineralization to improve the properties of biopolymer adhesives, which increases their potential viability as more sustainable adhesives.

Abstract
The inadequate thermal insulation of the building envelope contributes significantly to the high power consumption of air conditioners in houses. A crucial factor in raising a building’s energy efficiency involves utilizing bricks with high thermal resistance. This issue is accompanied by another critical challenge: recycling and disposing of waste in a way that is both economically and environmentally beneficial, including using it to fuel industrial growth, in order to reduce the harmful effects of waste on the environment as waste generation in our societies grows. To this end, the current study sought to assess whether integrating a specific amount of eggshell waste as CaCO3 filler within bricks consistently produces fired clay bricks with desirable thermal insulation capabilities. By systematically investigating the physicochemical and thermal characteristics of bricks doped with varying eggshell content, this work demonstrates how waste materials can be repurposed to produce sustainable construction materials with superior performance. The results highlight significant improvements in thermal conductivity, diffusivity, and effusivity, alongside favorable changes in porosity, bulk density, and mechanical strength. The XRD analysis revealed that once the firing temperature rises, a high insulation feature arises due to siliceous melt formation. EDX analysis gave important insights into the impact of eggshell dopants on the physicochemical parameters of burnt clay bricks. Compared to pristine brick, CEs7% brick constructed with clay and 7 wt% eggshell exhibited a 38.7% loss on dry shrinkage, an enhancement on average pore size of 78.8%, an apparent porosity of 52.7%, a bulk density of 8.3%, and a compressive strength of 57.5%. The reduced shrinkage enhances stability, while increased pore size and porosity improve thermal insulation, making the bricks more durable and energy-efficient. In this regard, the brick containing 10% eggshell that was fired at 1100°C possessed the greatest drop in heat conductivity (i.e., 50%), thermal diffusivity (30%), and thermal effusivity (30%) as compared to the pure one. Given the aforementioned findings, these additions hold the potential to reduce the energy required for both heating and cooling buildings. This brings us to the conclusion that combining eggshell waste to create calcium silicate makes it feasible to be utilized as a thermal insulation material, paving the way for improved construction materials’ performance and sustainability.
