AI Article Synopsis

  • Future research on El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) onset and decay is limited, with this study analyzing projected changes in El Niño events in the 21st Century through a multi-model ensemble of climate models.
  • It finds that El Niño events are expected to (1) develop more rapidly, (2) last longer in the eastern and far eastern Pacific, and (3) exhibit stronger remote impacts through teleconnections.
  • These changes stem from shifts in the tropical Pacific's mean state, alterations in ENSO feedback processes, and increased stochastic westerly wind bursts, potentially leading to more significant global consequences of El Niño.

Article Abstract

Future changes in the seasonal evolution of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) during its onset and decay phases have received little attention by the research community. This work investigates the projected changes in the spatio-temporal evolution of El Niño events in the 21 Century (21 C), using a multi-model ensemble of coupled general circulation models subjected to anthropogenic forcing. Here we show that El Niño is projected to (1) grow at a faster rate, (2) persist longer over the eastern and far eastern Pacific, and (3) have stronger and distinct remote impacts via teleconnections. These changes are attributable to significant changes in the tropical Pacific mean state, dominant ENSO feedback processes, and an increase in stochastic westerly wind burst forcing in the western equatorial Pacific, and may lead to more significant and persistent global impacts of El Niño in the future.

Background: Investigators and funding organizations desire knowledge on topics and trends in publicly funded research but current efforts for manual categorization have been limited in breadth and depth of understanding.

Purpose: We present a semi-automated analysis of 21 years of R-type National Cancer Institute (NCI) grants to departments of radiation oncology and radiology using natural language processing (NLP).

Methods: We selected all non-education R-type NCI grants from 2000 to 2020 awarded to departments of radiation oncology/radiology with affiliated schools of medicine.

Low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are increasingly challenged by the rising burden of medicolegal cases. Traditional forensic infrastructure and in vivo rodent models often have significant limitations due to high costs and ethical concerns. As a result, zebrafish () are gaining popularity as an attractive alternative model for LMICs because of their cost-effectiveness and practical advantages.

Aims: To estimate the burden of major depressive disorder (MDD) among older adults and project its prevalence through 2050.

Methods: Using data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021, we calculated age-standardized rates (ASRs) for the incidence, prevalence, and years lived with disability (YLDs) of MDD among people aged ≥60 years from 1990 to 2021. Trends were analyzed using average annual percentage changes (AAPCs).

Long time series forecasting has extensive applications in various fields such as power dispatching, traffic control, and weather forecasting. Recently, models based on the Transformer architecture have dominated the field of time series forecasting. However, these methods lack the ability to handle the correlation of multi-scale information and the interaction of information between variables in model design.

Despite significant advances in bioprinting technology, current hardware platforms lack the capability for process monitoring and quality control. This limitation hampers the translation of the technology into industrial GMP-compliant manufacturing settings. As a key step towards a solution, we developed a novel bioprinting platform integrating a high-resolution camera formonitoring of extrusion outcomes during embedded bioprinting.
