  2. Peat particulate organic matter as a regenerable terminal electron acceptor in ombrotrophic bogs 

    Obradović, Nikola (2024)
    Northern peatlands represent a major global carbon stock. Although these ecosystems are net carbon sinks, they account for ~ 5 – 11% of total annual methane (CH4) emissions to the atmosphere. The formation of CH4 (methanogenesis) is supported by the water-logged, anoxic environments of northern peatlands. Methanogenesis is expected to be the dominant pathway for organic matter decomposition in the absence of thermodynamically more favorable ...

  3. Debris-flow entrainment modelling under climate change: Considering antecedent moisture conditions along the flow path 

    Konz, Anna Lena; Hirschberg, Jacob; Mcardell, Brian W.; et al. (2024)
    Earth Surface Processes and Landforms
    Debris-flow volumes can increase along their flow path by entraining sediment stored in the channel bed and banks, thus also increasing hazard potential. Theoretical considerations, laboratory experiments and field investigations all indicate that the saturation conditions of the sediment along the flow path can greatly influence the amount of sediment entrained. However, this process is usually not considered for practical applications. ...

  4. Reconciling Rigor Versus Relevance: Lessons from Humanitarian Fleet Management 

    Schaumann, Sarah K.; Thakur-Weigold, Bublu; Van Wassenhove, Luk N. (2024)
    Production and Operations Management
    This position paper reframes the ongoing relevance versus rigor debate in operations research (OR) as a Kuhnian epistemological crisis, in which the dominant paradigm of quantitative modeling shows signs of exhaustion. Humanitarian fleet management is presented as an empirical case of extensive operations theory, which has not been implemented by the stakeholders who paid for its production. We propose a possible way out of the crisis by ...

  5. Photon Pressure with an Effective Negative Mass Microwave Mode 

    Rodrigues I.C.; Steele G.A.; Bothner D. (2024)
    Physical Review Letters
    Harmonic oscillators belong to the most fundamental concepts in physics and are central to many current research fields such as circuit QED, cavity optomechanics, and photon pressure systems. Here, we engineer a microwave mode in a superconducting LC circuit that mimics the dynamics of a negative mass oscillator, and couple it via photon pressure to a second low-frequency circuit. We demonstrate that the effective negative mass dynamics ...
