A data record, spanning 24 years, is presented of global atmospheric total aerosol optical depth and also the aerosol optical depth due to fine-mode constituents, typically of anthropogenic origin. Original measurements of reflectance were provided at approximately 1-km resolution by a series of dual-view satellite instruments: the Along-Track Scanning Radiometer 2 (ATSR-2), Advanced Along-Track Scanning Radiometer (AATSR), and Sea and Land Surface Temperature Radiometers (SLSTRs). These were processed to retrieve aerosol properties at 10-km resolution and then collated over daily and monthly timescales on a 1° × 1° latitude-longitude grid. Retrievals are evaluated against ground-based sun-photometer measurements from the Aerosol Robotic Network and Maritime Aerosol Network and compared to other satellite-derived datasets. The data record has implications for directly constraining the Earth's radiation budget, allowing benchmarking and improvement of models to represent aerosol in the climate system, air quality monitoring and adding to the long-term record of emission trends related to sources such as fire, dust and sulphate pollution. After release, the SLSTR datasets will be regularly extended in time.

Article Synopsis
- Biophysical mud aggregates, made of clay minerals and extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), are essential for water quality and aquatic ecosystems, but their complex shapes and settling behaviors in saline water are not well understood.
- A new dual-view method using an inverted microscope and side camera was developed to take detailed images of these aggregates from different angles, revealing that bottom-view images offer better insights into their geometric properties during settling.
- The study found that flocs made from clay-EPS mixtures are larger and more irregular than those made from pure clay, with EPS promoting stability in larger flocs during turbulence, indicating that models of flocculation need to consider organic materials and use a multi-perspective approach for better accuracy.
Molecular property prediction is an important task in drug discovery. However, experimental data for many drug molecules are limited, especially for novel molecular structures or rare diseases which affect the accuracy of many deep learning methods that rely on large training datasets. To this end, we propose PG-DERN, a novel few-shot learning model for molecular property prediction.

Detecting anomalies in massive volumes of multivariate time series data, particularly in the IoT domain, is critical for maintaining stable systems. Existing anomaly detection models based on reconstruction techniques face challenges in distinguishing normal and abnormal samples from unlabeled data, leading to performance degradation. Moreover, accurately reconstructing abnormal values and pinpointing anomalies remains a limitation.

However, most of them rely on bright-field and fluorescence imaging with sample labels. In this work, we designed sPhaseStation, which is a dual-view transport of intensity phase microscopy-based whole slide quantitative phase imaging system for label-free samples.
