description: The superposition principle is one of the main tenets of quantum mechanics. Despite its counter-intuitiveness, it has been experimentally verified using electrons, photons, atoms, and molecules. However, a similar experimental demonstration using a nano or a micro particle is non-existent. Here in this Letter, exploiting macroscopic quantum coherence and quantum tunneling, we propose an experiment using levitated magnetic nanoparticle to demonstrate such an effect. It is shown that the spatial separation between the delocalized wavepackets of a $20~$nm ferrimagnetic yttrium iron garnet (YIG) nanoparticle can be as large as $5~$$μ$m. We argue that this large spatial separation can be used to test different modifications such as collapse models to the standard quantum mechanics. Furthermore, we show that the spatial superposition of a core-shell structure, a YIG core and a non-magnetic silica shell, can be used to probe quantum gravity.

description: Photons provide low-noise quantum systems which are ideal for the fundamental studies of the quantum world and for developing new quantum technologies which promise to transform the way we process, transmit and acquire information. The development of the eld of quantum information processing, broadly dened, represents one of the most important scientic and technical challenges of the 21st Century. Photons have been used in demonstrations of basic quantum logic, secure communication tasks, precision measurements and the fundamental studies of quantum mechanics. In order to apply these systems and technologies in an ever increasing scale, it is necessary to develop new methods for eciently manipulating the quantum state of light. This is one of the main goals of this study which experimentally demonstrates new techniques for realising multi-qubit logic gates as well as a new method for amplifying quantum states of light noiselessly.

description: Breaking the Frames of the Past examines recent visual and literary work about the periods of historical violence in Argentina, Chile, and Peru. In my dissertation, I argue that these cultural productions can challenge the linear conception of historical time, and reveal the existent tensions and blind spots present within the cultural memory realm of each nation. By examining the specificity of the materials and the aesthetic strategies present in the works, I hope to elucidate a necessary introspective turn in memory- what I have nominated metamemory, present in works that not only seek to interrogate official national paradigms, discourses of the past, productions of knowledge, and memorial imperatives, but also works that are profoundly aware of their condition as memory objects within a cultural memory realms. Breaking the Frames of the Past is divided into two parts, Part One: Images, engages with memory at a broader collective level, and analyzes the different ways the photographic medium has been used to represent the past and craft a sense of national belonging. Part Two: Texts is concerned with subjective memory, and the overlap between childhood memories lived simultaneously within the frame of a period of historical violence. I discuss literary work written by those born during these periods of violence in order to see how from their subjective experience and through their works they can assert to the existing tensions within cultural memory paradigms. In examining novels by those who are “the Secondary Characters” of history, I argue that their use of metafictional strategies is able to counter the feeling of displacement and sense of belatedness that is present in postmemory works.

description: Susceptibility based on different landslide types has rarely been assessed. Therefore, this paper aims to compare the prediction performance of hybrid approaches by combining the logistic model tree (LMT) with Decorate, random subspace, and rotation forest ensemble techniques (De-LMT, RS-LMT, and RoF-LMT) for susceptibility assessments of different landslide types. The Yuzi River catchment along the eastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau was selected as the study area. In this catchment, 478 rockfalls and 167 landslides were identified, and further partitioned into training (70%) and validation (30%) datasets, respectively. Subsequently, 13 conditioning factors were initially considered, and then 11 and 8, respectively, were selected as the final rockfall and landslide influencing parameters to conduct susceptibility models through multicollinearity analysis and information gain. Finally, the model performances were evaluated by area under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUC). The obtained results demonstrated that elevation and rainfall were most influential factors for rockfall and landslide. For the rockfall prediction, the De-LMT model achieved the best prediction accuracy with the highest AUC (0.939), followed by the RS-LMT (0.938), RoF-LMT (0.928), and LMT (0.919) models. For the landslide prediction, the De-LMT model (AUC = 0.931) outperformed and outclassed the RoF-LMT (0.926), RS-LMT (0.922), and LMT (0.915) models. Therefore, it is reasoned out that all models exhibited satisfactory performance (AUC > 0.9), and the De-LMT model was superior in rockfall and landslide spatial prediction.

description: We generalize the Pfaffian formalism, which has been playing an important role in the study of time-reversal invariant topological insulators (TIs), to 3D chiral higher-order topological insulators (HOTIs) protected by the product of four-fold rotational symmetry $C_4$ and the time-reversal symmetry $T$. This Pfaffian description reveals a deep and fundamental link between TIs and HOTIs, and allows important conclusions about TIs to be generalized to HOTIs. As examples, we demonstrate in the Letter how to generalize Fu-Kane's parity criterion for TIs to HOTIs, and also present a general method to efficiently compute the $Z_2$ index of 3D chiral HOTIs without a global gauge.
Anisotropic elastic theory of preloaded granular media

description: A macroscopic elastic description of stresses in static, preloaded granular media is derived systematically from the microscopic elasticity of individual inter-grain contacts. The assumed preloaded state and friction at contacts ensure that the network of inter-grain contacts is not altered by small perturbations. The texture of this network, set by the preparation of the system, is encoded in second and fourth order fabric tensors. A small perturbation generates both normal and tangential inter-grain forces, the latter causing grains to reorient. This reorientation response and the incremental stress are expressed in terms of the macroscopic strain.

Fitting functions on the cheap: the relative nonlinear matter power spectrum

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We propose an alternative approach to the construction of fitting functions to the nonlinear matter power spectrum extracted from $N$-body simulations based on the relative matter power spectrum $δ(k,a)$, defined as the fractional deviation in the absolute matter power spectrum produced by a target cosmology away from a reference $Λ$CDM prediction. From the computational perspective, $δ(k,a)$ is fairly insensitive to the specifics of the simulation settings, and numerical convergence at the 1%-level can be readily achieved without the need for huge computing capacity. Furthermore, $δ(k,a)$ exhibits several interesting properties that enable a piece-wise construction of the full fitting function, whereby component fitting functions are sought for single-parameter variations and then multiplied together to form the final product. Then, to obtain 1%-accurate absolute power spectrum predictions for any target cosmology only requires that the community as a whole invests in producing one single ultra-precise reference $Λ$CDM absolute power spectrum, to be combined with the fitting function to produce the desired result. To illustrate the power of this approach, we have constructed the fitting function RelFit using only five relatively inexpensive $w$CDM simulations (box length $L=256 h^{-1}$Mpc, $N=1024^3$ particles, initialised at $z_i=49$). In a 6-parameter space spanning $\{ω_m,A_s,n_s,w,ω_b,h\}$, the output relative power spectra of RelFit are consistent with the predictions of the CosmicEmu emulator to 1% or better for a wide range of cosmologies up to $k\simeq 10$/Mpc. Thus, our approach could provide an inexpensive and democratically accessible route to fulfilling the 1%-level accuracy demands of the upcoming generation of large-scale structure probes, especially in the exploration of "non-standard" or "exotic" cosmologies on nonlinear scales.

description: This study explored the K-12 urban schooling experiences of four Blackgirls attending an alternative high school in New Jersey from their perspectives and in their own words. Through the use of focus group interviews, semi-structured individual follow-up interviews, participants’ compositions of life note entries, participatory data analysis, and the co-construction of a participatory ethnodrama, this qualitative study was grounded in Endarkened Feminist Epistemology. The research explored the participants’ rich, meaningful, and culturally indigenous ways knowing and conveying their lived experiences to provide educators insight into the ways in which Blackgirls encounter and navigate urban schools and the intersections of those experiences with their personal lives. Themes that immerged included identity development, invisibility, school trauma and failure, connectedness, and personal transformation, which expand understandings of culturally responsive, trauma-informed approaches to urban schooling, anti-racism and racial literacy, educator sustainability, and prioritizing student voice in school improvement reform.

Breakthrough and Concealment: The Formulaic Dynamics of Character Behavior in Lucan

Year: 2012
Subjects: Civilization, Classical

description: This dissertation analyzes the three main protagonists of Lucan's Bellum Civile through their attempts to utilize, resist, or match a pattern of action which I call the "formula." Most evident in Caesar, the formula is a cycle of alternating states of energy that allows him to gain a decisive edge over his opponents by granting him the ability of perpetual regeneration. However, a similar dynamic is also found in rivers, which thus prove to be formidable adversaries of Caesar in their own right. Although neither Pompey nor Cato is able to draw on the Caesarian formula successfully, Lucan eventually associates them with the river-derived variant, thus granting them a measure of resistance (if only in the non-physical realm). By tracing the development of the formula throughout the epic, the dissertation provides a deeper understanding of the importance of natural forces in Lucan's poem as well as the presence of an underlying drive that unites its fractured world.

description: Objective: In this work we address limitations in state-of-the-art ultrasound robots by designing and integrating a novel soft robotic system for ultrasound imaging. It employs the inherent qualities of soft fluidic actuators to establish safe, adaptable interaction between ultrasound probe and patient. Methods: We acquire clinical data to determine the movement ranges and force levels required in prenatal foetal ultrasound imaging and design the soft robotic end-effector accordingly. We verify its mechanical characteristics, derive and validate a kinetostatic model and demonstrate controllability and imaging capabilities on an ultrasound phantom. Results: The soft robot exhibits the desired stiffness characteristics and is able to reach 100% of the required workspace when no external force is present, and 95% of the workspace when considering its compliance. The model can accurately predict the end-effector pose with a mean error of 1.18+/-0.29mm in position and 0.92+/-0.47deg in orientation. The derived controller is, with an average position error of 0.39mm, able to track a target pose efficiently without and with externally applied loads. Ultrasound images acquired with the system are of equally good quality compared to a manual sonographer scan. Conclusion: The system is able to withstand loads commonly applied during foetal ultrasound scans and remains controllable with a motion range similar to manual scanning. Significance: The proposed soft robot presents a safe, cost-effective solution to offloading sonographers in day-to-day scanning routines. The design and modelling paradigms are greatly generalizable and particularly suitable for designing soft robots for physical interaction tasks.
title: Polarisation and Alignment Studies in Electron Scattering From Rubidium

Subjects: subject: Rubidium atoms

description: Measurements have been made of the A2 spin asymmetry in the scattering of polarised electrons from rubidium atoms. Results have been taken at an incident energy of 15, 20, 30, 50 and 80eV for elastic scattering, and at 15, 20, 30 and 50eV for 5S to 5P excitation where the fine structure has not been resolved. The measurements covered the angular range 30° to 110°. Results were taken using a crossed beam type experiment, with a hemispherical electrostatic detector. Polarised electrons were provided by a conventional gallium arsenide spin-polarised electron source. The Rmatrix and relativistic distorted wave calculations available demonstrate good agreement with the experimental results, though there are some clear discrepancies between the magnitudes and positions of the extrema as predicted by theory. These A2 results follow on from those taken by Went (2003). A study of the autoionisation resonances of rubidium has also been undertaken. This consisted of first measuring the angular variation of the autoionisation resonances in the angular range 30° to 130°, at an incident energy of 1keV. A crossed beam method was also used for these results, though electrons were provided by a conventional electron gun. Significant relative angular variation between sets of autoionisation resonances was observed. The results taken represent the first experimentally determined values of the alignment parameter, A20 and R0, the isotropic distribution ratio for the leading autoionisation doublet of rubidium. The experimentally determined values of A20 and R0 were not inconsistent with the theoretical values available for comparison. Finally an attempt was made to measure a circular dichroism in the angular distribution of autoionised electrons due to stepwise laser/electron impact excitation (CPDAD). The experimental detection of such a circular dichroism would be the very first of its kind. Such a measurement would also help validate the theoretical approach that predicted its existence. Preliminary investigation requires identification of an autoionisation resonance that is enhanced with the stepwise excitation procedure. A crossed beam experiment identical to the procedure immediately above was undertaken using a conventional electron gun. Laser light resonant with the D2 line of rubidium was provided by a titanium-sapphire laser, while a diode laser was used to repump the dark state. Measurements were taken at incident energies of 250, 450, 700 and 1000eV at ejected electron angles of 75°, 75°, 90° and 90° respectively. No enhancement was visible with the stepwise process for any of the observed autoionisation resonances, so it was not possible to study CPDAD.

description: This dissertation focuses on how a specific conceptual thread of the history of mathematics unfolded throughout the centuries from its original account in Ancient Greece to its demise in the Modern era due to new mathematical developments and, finally, to its revival in the work of Brentano. In particular, we shall discuss how the notion of continuity and the connected notion of continua and boundaries developed through the ages until Brentano's revival of the original Aristotelian account against the by then established mathematical orthodoxy. Thus, this monograph hopes to fill in a gap in the present state of Brentanian scholarship as well as to present a thorough account of this specific historical thread.

description: Knowing the genes involved in quantitative traits provides an entry point to understanding the biological bases of behavior, but there are very few examples where the pathway from genetic locus to behavioral change is known. To explore the role of specific genes in fear behavior, we mapped three fear-related traits, tested fourteen genes at six QTLs by quantitative complementation and identified six genes. Four genes, Lamp, Ptprd, Nptx2 and Sh3gl, have known roles in synapse function; the fifth, Psip1, was not previously implicated in behavior; the sixth is a long non-coding RNA 4933413L06Rik of unknown function. Variation in transcriptome and epigenetic modalities occurred preferentially in excitatory neurons, suggesting that genetic variation is more permissible in excitatory than inhibitory neuronal circuits. Our results open a bottleneck in using genetic mapping of QTLs to uncover biology underlying behavior and prompt a reconsideration of expected relationships between genetic and functional variation.

description: Background: Estrogen receptor (ER)- and progesterone receptor (PR)-negative (ER-PR-) breast cancer is associated with higher grade and poorer prognosis compared with other breast cancer subtypes. High parity, coupled with lack of breastfeeding, has been associated with an increased risk of ER-PR- cancer. The mechanism of this etiology is unclear, and may be obfuscated by ER and PR correlation with each other as well as other prognostic tumor characteristics.
      Methods: Using population-based and clinic-based ascertained cases and controls from the Breast Cancer Family Registry, I examined reproductive risk factors, including parity, breastfeeding, and oral contraceptive  (OC) use, in relation to ER and PR status, using polytomous logistic regression (for the population-based data) and the method of generalized estimating equations (GEE) (for the clinic-based data) as well as the pseudo-conditional likelihood approach, which accounts for correlated outcome variables.
      Results: High parity (≥ 3 live births) combined with lack of breastfeeding, was positively associated with ER-PR- tumors (odds ratio [OR]=1.57, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.10-2.24, population-based cases vs. controls) relative to nulliparity. There was no association with ER-PR- tumors and parity in women who breastfed (OR=0.93, 95%CI 0.71-1.22) relative to nulliparous women. Associations with ER-PR- cancer were higher across all races/ethnicities among women who did not breastfeed compared with women who did. Population-based and clinic-based data were generally in agreement (OR=2.07, 95% CI 1.09-3.91, clinic-based cases vs. controls, relative to nulliparity). When adjusted for the correlation of PR-status and grade, to ER-status, the association between high parity +lack of breastfeeding and ER- status, was maintained. OC use before year 1975 was associated with an increased risk of ER-PR- tumors (OR=1.32, 95% CI 1.04-1.67, population-based data, cases vs. controls) relative to never use of OCs. For women who began OC use in 1975 or later there was no increased risk.  Analysis of OC use in clinic-based data agreed with the findings of the population-based data.
      Conclusions: My findings support that there are modifiable factors for ER-PR- breast cancer, and that breastfeeding in particular may mitigate the increased risk of ER-PR-cancers seen from multiparity. The mechanism of both risk and risk mitigation may operate primarily through the estrogen, rather than progesterone, pathway.

description: Recognizing that college and university campuses continue to have immediate impacts on surrounding communities, this thesis examines the relationship between the institutional self-interest that motivates campus expansion and the prevalence of speculative real estate investment in their surrounding communities. In order to assess the impact institutional policies and plans have on surrounding communities, the thesis provides case studies of four private urban universities, DePaul University, Drexel University, the University of Chicago, and the University of Pennsylvania. Together, these case studies highlight the role universities and real estate investors play in the transformation of communities surrounding campuses. It provides the voice of historians, residents, and institutional officers involved with campus and community planning at each case study university. The thesis concludes with observations about the relationship between campus expansion, speculative real estate investment, and neighborhood stability in order to offer suggestions to planners, university administrators, and community leaders seeking equitable communities.

description: The pastimes have been significantly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, which was declared a Public Health International Emergency Concern (PHIEC). People across the world faced disruptions in various aspects of life, including social, psychological, economic, employment, education, and services. The global outbreak created an ordeal, spreading rapidly and leading many countries to enforce nationwide lockdowns and border closures. Service industries, including retail, tourism, transport, distribution, and food services, were among the hardest hit during these challenging pastimes. These industries not only faced financial strain but also experienced psychological and physical challenges. This study aims to assess the impact of COVID-19 on service industries, particularly tourism, in the North Shewa Zone, Ethiopia. A survey was conducted using a questionnaire, collecting data from service industry professionals in the tourism transport sector within selected woredas of the zone. Respondents included managerial-level and senior personnel. The analysis involved frequency tables, graphs, chi-square tests of association, and regression analysis. The findings indicate that the type and scale of service industries, awareness of COVID-19, social distancing practices, operational adjustments, mutual support, and business shutdowns significantly influenced the level of impact on service industries. As a result, it is recommended that the government continue to raise awareness about safe business operations during crises. Similarly, service industries should adapt their business models to align with the ongoing challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.

description: A unified theory for the current through a nanoscale region of interacting electrons connected to two leads which can be either ferromagnet or superconductor is presented, yielding Meir-Wingreen-type formulas when applied to specific circumstances. In such a formulation, the requirement of gauge invariance for the current is satisfied automatically. Moreover, one can judge unambiguously what quantities can be measured in the transport experiment.

description: We present classical and quantum algorithms based on spectral methods for a problem in tensor principal component analysis. The quantum algorithm achieves a quartic speedup while using exponentially smaller space than the fastest classical spectral algorithm, and a super-polynomial speedup over classical algorithms that use only polynomial space. The classical algorithms that we present are related to, but slightly different from those presented recently in Ref. 1. In particular, we have an improved threshold for recovery and the algorithms we present work for both even and odd order tensors. These results suggest that large-scale inference problems are a promising future application for quantum computers.

description: Multidimensional Heisenberg algebras, whose creation and annihilation operators are the N-dimensional vectors, can be injected into simple Lie algebras g. It is demonstrated that the spectrum of their deformations can be investigated using chains of extended Jordanian twists applied to U(g). In the case of U(sl(N)) (for N>5) the two-dimensional Heisenberg subalgebras have nine deformed costructures connected by four "internal" and "external" twists composing the commutative diagram.

description: GmGASA is the GASA gibberellin regulated cysteine-rich protein family. The expression of GmGASA is up-regulated by gibberellin, which is the longest plant hormone in plants playing vital roles in plant development. However, very few reports explaining the direct regulation of downstream genes by GASA gene are available. In the current study, the GmGASA32, a member of the GASA family affecting soybean height was identified. In the early stage, preliminary verification of the response of GmGASA32 to gibberellin through phenotypic experiment was done. The promoter activity analysis confirmed that GmGASA32 was induced by gibberellin. Subcellular localization showed that GmGASA32-GFP fusion protein enriched in the nucleus after gibberellin treatment. In order to confirm the function of GmGASA32 in the nucleus, we confirmed that the GASA domain in the C terminal of GmGASA32 can interact with GmCDC25 (cell cycle-associated protein) through the bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) assay.

description: Background: Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is commonly proposed to be characterized by an enhanced sensitivity for emotional stimuli. In the present study, we investigated whether BPD patients show a superior detection of emotional facial expressions relative to healthy controls. The detection of emotional information in the environment represents an important facet of emotional sensitivity. Sampling and Methods: Twenty patients with BPD were compared with 25 healthy controls. The participants were presented a rapid, continuous stream of neutral and randomly inserted emotional facial expressions and were asked to report the presentation of an emotional facial stimulus after each trial. Availability of cognitive resources was manipulated via two different task demands. Results: The participants with BPD performed significantly better in the detection of positive and negative facial expressions compared to the healthy controls. False alarm rates did not differ significantly between the two groups. Conclusions: The BPD participants showed an enhanced detection of emotional expressions that might be related to the emotional disturbances they experience. In particular, we will discuss the role of this superior emotion detection (in combination with previously reported deficits in the labeling of emotional states) for the understanding of emotional instability in BPD.

description: The single parameter scaling hypothesis is the foundation of our understanding of the Anderson transition. However, the conductance of a disordered system is a fluctuating quantity which does not obey a one parameter scaling law. It is essential to investigate the scaling of the full conductance distribution to establish the scaling hypothesis. We present a clear cut numerical demonstration that the conductance distribution indeed obeys one parameter scaling near the Anderson transition.
Manipulation into unsustainable consumer choices as exploitative abuse of dominance

Publisher: name: Market and Competition Law Review
Year: 2024

description: This article oscillates around the intersection of sustainability and digital platforms, which is an increasingly important and complex area of study in which digital platforms can have both a positive and a negative influence. The interaction between sustainability and digital platforms is crucial at a time when the EU is promoting the twin transition in its economy, a process that entails focusing on both environmental sustainability and digitalization. Online users should have a chance to buy sustainable products and services through digital platforms. However, environmental issues are becoming more and more pressing, and users are more willing to, among others, compensate for their flight emissions, to buy organic food and to ensure the protection of endangered species. The following question arises: who is responsible for ensuring the sustainability of the products and services that are offered online? Is it consumers, who often feel that they want to be environmentally friendly but choose cheaper products over sustainable ones out of habit? Or is it the government and the EU, which are promoting the twin transition in the first place? I argue that these responsibilities could be allocated through competition law. In particular, the article focuses on the possible manipulation of consumers into overconsumption or the purchase of unsustainable products and services, which could be classified as exploitative abuse of dominance. Consumer welfare (i.e., the well-being of consumers) would be enhanced if consumers could buy more sustainable goods and services or if they were not manipulated into overconsumption. Such a development would cohere with the recent attempts to broaden competition law into non-pricerelated goals that respond to societal needs for transformation (here, the sustainability transition in the face of the environmental crisis). This article is intended to answer the following question: how can different kinds of manipulation into the purchase of unsustainable products and services or overspending be classified as decreasing consumer welfare and, consequently, as exploitative abuses of dominance under EU competition law? For example, digital platforms often nudge consumers into specific behaviours that may not be in their best interests.

description: A molecule's geometry, also known as conformation, is one of a molecule's most important properties, determining the reactions it participates in, the bonds it forms, and the interactions it has with other molecules. Conventional conformation generation methods minimize hand-designed molecular force field energy functions that are often not well correlated with the true energy function of a molecule observed in nature. They generate geometrically diverse sets of conformations, some of which are very similar to the lowest-energy conformations and others of which are very different. In this paper, we propose a conditional deep generative graph neural network that learns an energy function by directly learning to generate molecular conformations that are energetically favorable and more likely to be observed experimentally in data-driven manner. On three large-scale datasets containing small molecules, we show that our method generates a set of conformations that on average is far more likely to be close to the corresponding reference conformations than are those obtained from conventional force field methods. Our method maintains geometrical diversity by generating conformations that are not too similar to each other, and is also computationally faster. We also show that our method can be used to provide initial coordinates for conventional force field methods. On one of the evaluated datasets we show that this combination allows us to combine the best of both methods, yielding generated conformations that are on average close to reference conformations with some very similar to reference conformations.

Revisiting the observed surface climate response to large volcanic eruptions

description: Abstract. In light of the range in presently available observational, reanalysis and model data, we revisit the surface climate response to large tropical volcanic eruptions from the end of the 19th century until present. We focus on the dynamically driven response of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) and the radiative-driven tropical temperature response. Using 10 different reanalysis products and the Hadley Centre Sea Level Pressure observational dataset (HadSLP2) we confirm a positive tendency in the phase of the NAO during boreal winters following large volcanic eruptions, although we conclude that it is not as clear cut as the current literature suggests. While different reanalyses agree well on the sign of the surface volcanic NAO response for individual volcanoes, the spread in the response is often large (∼ 1/2 standard deviation). This inter-reanalysis spread is actually larger for the more recent volcanic eruptions, and in one case does not encompass observations (El Chichón). These are all in the satellite era and therefore assimilate more atmospheric data that may lead to a more complex interaction for the surface response. The phase of the NAO leads to a dynamically driven warm anomaly over northern Europe in winter, which is present in all datasets considered. The general cooling of the surface temperature due to reduced incoming shortwave radiation is therefore disturbed by dynamical impacts. In the tropics, where less dynamically driven influences are present, we confirm a predominant cooling after most but not all eruptions. All datasets agree well on the strength of the tropical response, with the observed and reanalysis response being statistically significant but the modelled response not being significant due to the high variability across models.
