Solar Orbiter/RPW antenna calibration in the radio domain and its application to type III burst observations
(EDP Sciences, 2021-09-16)In order to allow for a comparison with the measurements from other antenna systems, the voltage power spectral density measured by the Radio and Plasma waves receiver (RPW) on board Solar Orbiter needs to be converted ... -
Exosphere Modeling of Proxima b: A Case Study of Photochemical Escape with a Venus-like Atmosphere
(IOP Publishing, 2021-09-14)Exoplanets orbiting M-dwarfs within habitable zones are exposed to stellar environments more extreme than that terrestrial planets experience in our Solar System, which can significantly impact the atmospheres of the ... -
Semantically Rich Framework to Automate Cyber Insurance Services
(IEEE, 2021)With the rapid enhancements in technology and the adoption of web services, there has been a significant increase in cyber threats faced by organizations in cyberspace. Organizations want to purchase adequate cyber insurance ... -
Conducting Virtual Qualitative Interviews with International Key Informants: Insights from a Research Project
(Nova SouthEastern University, 2021-09-15)There is an increasing need for cross-cultural qualitative studies in an era of globalization. A focus group of five researchers, who were involved in a large international research project, identified effective strategies ... -
Meeting expectations

ISD: Self-Supervised Learning by Iterative Similarity Distillation
(2021-09-10)Recently, contrastive learning has achieved great results in self-supervised learning, where the main idea is to push two augmentations of an image (positive pairs) closer compared to other random images (negative pairs). ... -
Backdoor Attacks on Self-Supervised Learning
(2021-05-21)Large-scale unlabeled data has allowed recent progress in self-supervised learning methods that learn rich visual representations. State-of-the-art self-supervised methods for learning representations from images (MoCo and ... -
The Ozone Water–Land Environmental Transition Study: An Innovative Strategy for Understanding Chesapeake Bay Pollution Events
(American Meteorological Society, 2019-02-01)Coastal regions have historically represented a significant challenge for air quality investigations because of water–land boundary transition characteristics and a paucity of measurements available over water. Prior studies ... -
Exploring Oxidation in the Remote Free Troposphere: Insights From Atmospheric Tomography (ATom)
(American Geophysical Union, 2019-12-27)Earth's atmosphere oxidizes the greenhouse gas methane and other gases, thus determining their lifetimes and oxidation products. Much of this oxidation occurs in the remote, relatively clean free troposphere above the ... -
Revisiting the effectiveness of HCHO/NO₂ ratios for inferring ozone sensitivity to its precursors using high resolution airborne remote sensing observations in a high ozone episode during the KORUS-AQ campaign
(Elsevier, 2020-02-12)The nonlinear chemical processes involved in ozone production (P(O3₃) have necessitated using proxy indicators to convey information about the primary dependence of P(O₃) on volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or nitrogen ... -
Constraining remote oxidation capacity with ATom observations
(Copernicus Publications, 2020-07-03)The global oxidation capacity, defined as the tropospheric mean concentration of the hydroxyl radical (OH), controls the lifetime of reactive trace gases in the atmosphere such as methane and carbon monoxide (CO). Models ... -
Wintertime Formaldehyde: Airborne Observations and Source Apportionment Over the Eastern United States
(American Geophysical Union, 2021-01-12)Formaldehyde (HCHO) is generated from direct urban emission sources and secondary production from the photochemical reactions of urban smog. HCHO is linked to tropospheric ozone formation, and contributes to the photochemical ... -
Spatial and temporal variability in the hydroxyl (OH) radical: understanding the role of large-scale climate features and their influence on OH through its dynamical and photochemical drivers
(Copernicus Publications, 2021-04-30)The hydroxyl radical (OH) is the primary atmospheric oxidant responsible for removing many important trace gases, including methane, from the atmosphere. Although robust relationships between OH drivers and modes of climate ... -
Secondary organic aerosols from anthropogenic volatile organic compounds contribute substantially to air pollution mortality
(Copernicus Publications, 2021-07-27)Anthropogenic secondary organic aerosol (ASOA), formed from anthropogenic emissions of organic compounds, constitutes a substantial fraction of the mass of submicron aerosol in populated areas around the world and contributes ... -
